In this episode of The Real Intelligence Podcast, Jenny Swim explores the gift of pain—and why it remains one of our greatest teachers, even though we instinctively try to avoid it. Whether emotional, social, spiritual, or physical, pain often triggers familiar reactions: fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
Together, we’ll:
Rethink our relationship with pain
Recognize our automatic patterns
Explore practical tools for relating with and moving through discomfort with greater intelligence and intention
If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who might benefit from a gentler, more empowering way to understand and navigate their own experience with pain.
