Hey Reader,

Pain has a funny way of becoming background noise.

You stop noticing it as something to fix and start navigating around it like furniture in a dark room.

You just know where it is.

So you adjust and you live with it and your brain forgets that it isn't supposed to be there.

That's where I was with my foot.

I was struggling with foot pain all throughout 2024 as I took care of my dad and he eventually passed.

I didn't connect the two at first (anyone who has experience knows that grief doesn’t announce itself neatly with a card and a bouquet of flowers).

Instead, it shows up in your sleep, in your appetite, in your body and you manage it as best you can (along with everything else going on in your life).

So I managed around the foot pain too.

A few months turned into a year. A year turned into almost two. And I kept moving.

Not because every day felt like what I was doing was working, but mostly because stopping felt worse.

Staying in motion was the one thing I could control when everything else felt completely out of my hands.

And then one day recently, I realized that it had been a while since I last noticed my foot hurting.

There's no finish line moment when it comes to pain.

It's just a quiet Tuesday where you realize your brain’s not sending the same signal it's been sending for two years and you almost miss it because you're just living your life.

Getting out of pain isn’t fast. It’s never one magical thing.

It’s diligent practice and showing up on the days it feels pointless.

But it happened.

And it happens.

And I want you to know that a quiet Tuesday is available to you too 💖

XO,
