Are you seeking practical solutions to transition from merely surviving to truly thriving? The Rise Above Fibro podcast is a dedicated community for you, offering empowering strategies for women living with fibromyalgia. The podcast focuses on mind-body wellness, faith-centered practices, and practical lifestyle tips, providing valuable insights and strategies for managing life with fibromyalgia.
Hello friend! I’m Cass. As a child, I grappled with chronic pain that hindered my dream to devote every minute to intensive dance training. Despite being a healthy kid, the medical community couldn’t help since there was nothing evidently wrong. At 16, I had to abandon my dream of becoming a professional dancer due to incessant pain. Instead, I learned to live with the pain, participated in the high school dance team, and pursued health and fitness management in college.
It wasn’t until my 40s that I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and began gathering resources to manage it. Eager to handle this incurable condition holistically and naturally, I discovered life hacks, routines, and habits that help me minimize flare-ups and recover swiftly when they occur. I’m eager to share them with you through the Rise Above Fibro podcast as we build a supportive community. Though it’s not always easy, together, we can discover solutions to help each of us live our best lives.
Join me on the journey from merely coping to flourishing. Let’s conquer fibro together!
