S2 E7 | Chronic Pain and Spirituality with Christina Wei

Integrative health coach Christina Wei joins us today on the podcast - and we get into the deep side of chronic pain healing. This work often brings people, eventually, into a place that feels spiritual. “I couldn’t define for you ‘what is God,’ but I think I can define for you what isn’t.” And “the only thing that can save me is unconditional love for myself.” Yeah. This is the direction we're going in today. And it’s such an important piece of your healing. Join us and go there with us.
