225:Rethinking Chronic Pain: Why Pushing Through Isn’t the Answer with Dr. Redmond

OVERVIEW:

For so many women, chronic pain becomes a way of life—something they just push through, manage, and try to ignore. But what if the very mindset of pushing through is actually making the pain worse?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Redmond, a clinical psychologist and chronic pain strategist, to unpack the new science of pain recovery and why women, in particular, need a different approach. With over a decade of experience helping women break free from the cycle of sensitivity, flare-ups, and frustration, Dr. Redmond shares her insights on how to take back control, reshape your behaviors, and accelerate healing.

🔹 Why the culture of treating chronic pain is shifting—and why this matters for women.
