In this episode of Regrow, Lily explores the science of chronic pain in a grounded, hopeful way - explaining the difference between acute and chronic pain, how the brain and nervous system process pain, and why fear and stress can amplify symptoms.

You’ll learn:

• Why chronic pain is not just about tissue damage
• How the fear–pain cycle can keep symptoms stuck
• What neuroplasticity really means (without hype)
• Why pain is protection, not betrayal
• How building safety can help you trust your body again

This isn’t about toxic positivity or “thinking your way out of pain.” It’s about understanding pain neuroscience so you can begin creating a life that feels bigger than your symptoms!
