## Resource

Learn how to JournalSpeak :⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak⁠ Monica, a former teacher and active mom of 2, was stuck on the couch, icing her piriformis muscle 6 times a day. As with so many of us, Monica was gripped with fear and meaning - What will become of me? How am I going to show up for any family and my life?? I say it all the time - Chronic pain is an epidemic of fear. We are so terrified of the pain and the ways it might affect our lives, that we keep ourselves sick and suffering. Monica's JournalSpeak practice alongside an incredible shift in mindset is giving her a life of freedom and possibilities. Her beautiful story of camping with her kids is the best.
