And then the music stopped. In a game of musical chairs, I was left without a seat. But the game wasn’t musical chairs, it was my health. I had experienced a bout of debilitating back pains in 2021 that took me down. I had taken walking, standing and sitting up straight, and being active without being in pain, for granted. But the story doesn’t actually start there. Let’s just say it did. In my late 30s, I thought I had all the doctors I needed. I didn’t. In this episode, I sit down with my chiropractor, Dr. Phelts, who takes on more of a holistic approach to wellness, and Nikki “Kether” Morgan, a certified, clinical somatic sexologist, who helped me reconnect with my body, after later learning I was dissociated.
