So Jump in and kind of tell us a little bit about your own pain history and your pain story and how it led you to hire Esther as your pain coach.

Yeah, I mean, I was I had a very severe injury in 2023.

I ruptured a disc in my leg and my sciatic was pinched off.

And so I literally had zero feeling from my glute all the way to my toe for nine solid weeks.

I could barely walk.

It was it was a very severe injury.

I have been in pain ever since that time.

And so, Laurel, tell us how you found Esther and just how that opened the door to what's happening right now and what we want to talk about on the podcast today.

Yes.

Well, for those of you who are listening for the first time, I am Laurel.

I'm the one that you will reach when you email in to info at connectioncodes.co. And so that's exactly how I met Esther is she emailed into connectioncodes.co as a client.

And oftentimes when I get an email from you, if there's any kind of link at the bottom or I see that you have a website, I'll often just go and look at the websites of our clients and just to get to know them and see if there's any way that we can partner together.

And I saw that Esther said pain coach, which of course I'd never heard of that before.

And I went and looked on her website and found what she did, a very little bit about her story.

So pain is always, your brain is always trying to work out, am I safe or am I in danger?

Yes.

I mean, it was such a frightening experience because I shared this with you both.

I think we were a solid 10 days into the hospital before the day that I walked into the hospital, not thinking my husband will die today.

And 10 days is a very, very long time.

And so I just think back, you know, pre connection codes to how that experience would have been for me without connection codes.

I mean, the gift of being able to process the fear all the time in real time, every time.

I mean, the team was so amazing.

Wow.
