In episode 3, Heather talks about visible and invisible pain; what's often easier to talk about and what's easier to hide when it comes to physical, emotional and mental pain. And it's not just related to illness and cancer. Everyone has pain, and we all makes choices about how to handle it. Today we talk about pain as it relates to being terrorized by a spider, liking to wash dishes, and cancer and treatment sucking; oh and how we all lie and hide constantly.

Takeaways from today:

-Pain can be physical, emotional and mental; visible and invisable

-We are good at hiding and judging pain but the "cancer didn't stop me" mentality is actually harmful

-Living with pain can feel like multiple personalities

-Judging pain only works if we know what purpose it already has in our life

-Intimacy is hard; not being intimate is hard; choose your hard

-If you experience pain, physical or emotional or mental, &/or hide from it, you are not alone
