Speed bumps are often viewed as a negative thing by society, but all they really do is force us to slow down and take stock of a situation. Everyone has a story, but often we feel all alone in our speed bumps, like no one understands. Speed Bumps is a podcast where people can share their experiences in the hopes of building community.

Episode #21- Pick Your Pain with Micah

In this episode I talk with Micah, a friend from a mutual Telegram group. We discuss his chronic pain due to an accident and how that can lead down a dark path. He talks about how the birth of his daughter forced him to ‘pick his pain’ and how he refused to accept the doctor's diagnosis. We discuss natural healing methods such as Whim Hoff breathing, cold therapy, and turning off the victim/why me mentality.
