Acceptance, Agency & Chronic Headaches: How Benjamin Reclaimed His Life


Listen Later

Chronic pain doesn’t have to steal your purpose.

In this episode, Benjamin shares how he’s navigated life with cluster headaches—and how he’s turning his journey into a mission to help others.

Key takeaways

  • How Benjamin first experienced his illness and what followed
  • Why acceptance became a turning point—not surrender
  • Daily rhythms and small rituals that anchor him
  • Relationship dynamics: the role of honest, nonjudgmental communication
  • How lived experience shapes credibility in pain work
  • Integrating mind and body: why they can’t be separated in chronic illness
  • What Benjamin’s next steps look like (coaching, writing, building community)

If you’re a clinician, coach, or person in pain interested in bridging lived experience and evidence-based practice, this one’s for you.
