What happens when chronic pain, GI symptoms, and insomnia seem to take over your life, and nothing you try provides lasting relief?

Laura sits down with Nora Rodden, founder and CEO of Nirvana, to talk about her own five-year journey with chronic pain after being hit by a car in college.

Nora shares how she went from pursuing treatments and procedures for persistent back pain, to experiencing chronic bloating and insomnia, and eventually discovering the mind-body approach that changed how she understood her symptoms.

Nora also shares what inspired her to create Nirvana, a personalized digital mind-body recovery program designed to make this work more accessible.

If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing symptoms or wondering why your body still feels unsafe even after you've ruled out structural problems, this conversation is worth a listen.
