What if your pain wasn’t a problem—but a message? In this transformative episode, Coach Angela Herren invites you to look beyond symptoms and start asking deeper questions: What is my body trying to say? What am I feeling—and why?

We explore a powerful reframe: Pain is not a punishment—it’s a conversation between your body and your brain. You’ll learn how to distinguish between pain and discomfort, why inflammation is the “fire within,” and how lifestyle, mindset, food, and emotional patterns all influence your healing.

Angela shares practical tools from her trauma-informed coaching and functional medicine lens—plus personal stories, clinical insights, and guidance on how to decode the whispers of your body before they become screams.
