💜 Living with Chronic Pain Changed Me — So I Wrote About It
There was a time when I couldn’t get out of bed without pain.
A time when I felt like my body had betrayed me.
A time when people around me didn’t understand — or couldn’t see — what I was going through.
And maybe you’ve been there too.
When I was at my lowest, what helped me most wasn’t more prescriptions, pressure, or pushing through.
It was learning how to slow down… and breathe.
That’s what mindfulness became for me:
Not a buzzword.
Not a cure.
But a quiet lifeline.
📚 A Book Born from Flare Days and Stillness
Mindfulness for Chronic Pain isn’t just a book — it’s a piece of my healing. It’s filled with the practices, affirmations, and mindset shifts that helped me survive flare days, manage overwhelming emotions, and reconnect with myself in the middle of chronic pain.
It was written one page at a time…
…during doctor visits,
…between pain flare-ups,
…on days I could barely sit up.
I didn’t write it as an expert.
I wrote it as a Spoonie.
As someone who needed softness, not shame.
Tools, not toxic positivity.
🌿 What You’ll Find Inside
Gentle, guided mindfulness exercises (no yoga mat required!)
Affirmations for low-energy, high-pain days
Supportive journaling prompts
Real talk on guilt, grief, and healing
Encouragement for anyone navigating chronic illness or daily pain
💬 Why I Had to Share It
So many of us are out here trying to hold everything together — careers, families, relationships — all while living in bodies that hurt.
You deserve a space that doesn’t ask you to push through.
You deserve tools that honor your experience.
You deserve peace that doesn’t depend on being pain-free.
That’s why I wrote this book.
That’s why I’m sharing it with you.
