Less guessing. More clarity. Better movement.


Hello Reader,

This week, I had the pleasure of teaching one of my live Move Smart, Feel Better signature webinars, where we explored something many of us live with every day — pain — and more importantly, how to understand it differently so it no longer runs the show.

Pain isn’t just something to “push through” or shut down. It’s information. A signal. And when we learn how to listen to it — instead of reacting to it — things begin to shift.

In the webinar, I shared three key ways to better understand and reduce pain, without overwhelm or complicated strategies:

1. Learn your pain’s language 🗣️

Pain isn’t one single experience.

Sharp. Dull. Tight. Throbbing. Burning. Heavy.

When we only say “it hurts,” we miss valuable information.

Expanding the language around how pain feels is often the first step toward changing our relationship with it.

2. Notice patterns, not just flare-ups 📊

Pain rarely comes out of nowhere.

It follows patterns — showing up during certain activities, times of day, or life stresses.

When we zoom out and see the bigger picture, we can begin to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting automatically.

3. Understand what’s influencing your pain 🔑

Movement load, mental load, emotional load — they all matter.

Pain is shaped not just by what you do, but by how much you’re carrying and how your nervous system interprets it all.

I didn’t share everything in the replay — on purpose 😉

Because the real power is in seeing these ideas applied, and in recognizing yourself somewhere in the process.
