About the Show
​
An interview podcast exploring pain, healing, and connection​
Living With Now brings honest conversations with people who live with pain and those who help others through it. Raw, reflective, and hopeful, each episode shares real stories of struggle, recovery, and resilience.
​
This brings connection to those struggling with pain, with appreciation that physical, emotional, and spiritual sensations effect each other and how we bring ourselves into the world.
​
Perhaps most importantly, the conversations hope to bring the breath of compassionate support and connection to the isolation that often accompanies the journey through pain.
