Tom's Facebook Group


In this powerful episode, Tom Bowen shares how chasing a cure for chronic pain left him anxious, depressed, and stuck. Only when he shifted focus—from fixing pain to living well—did real change begin.

• The mental shift that helped him reclaim control
• What “acceptance” really means (and doesn’t mean)
• Practical strategies that became second nature
• How purpose and advocacy pulled him forward
