Can Our Thinking Affect Pain? A Conversation About Chronic Pain and Innate Wellbeing

Can our thinking actually affect the pain we experience—and even how our bodies perform? In this episode, I talk with my friend, Joanne Lee Smith, an ultra runner who coaches other athletes in understanding the connection between thought, pain, and performance. Drawing from her own experience as an endurance athlete, along with what she has learned about the mind-body connection and innate wellbeing, we explore how our thoughts about pain can influence the way we experience it. This isn’t about saying pain isn’t real. It’s about becoming curious about how much our thinking may contribute to our experience—and what might change when we begin to see that differently. Whether you’re an athlete, dealing with chronic pain, or simply curious about the connection between mind and body, I think you’ll find this conversation fascinating.
