If you’ve felt dismissed or alone in your symptoms, you’re not alone.

Sandi shares 30+ years of chronic pain: rheumatoid arthritis as a teen, hip and knee replacements, severe spinal stenosis, prednisone fallout and the pivot from symptom-chasing to root-cause and mind–body healing. We unpack how stress can amplify pain, why diagnoses can become identities, and how to create space for grace while you heal.

What we cover:

• Rheumatoid arthritis at 18; elbow swelling, injections, cortisone/radiation, methotrexate
• Hip replacement at 20, knee replacement after accident recovery lessons
• Prednisone withdrawal: moon face, immune suppression, brutal taper/itching
• Spinal stenosis MRI, pain patterns, and “diagnosis-as-identity”
• Functional medicine & nutrition: food triggers, root causes
• Mind–body connection for chronic pain, nervous-system patterns, stress
• Why there’s no finish line in health progress over perfection
