What if the pain you’re carrying isn’t a dead-end, but a doorway?
In today’s powerful conversation, Alex Crowther—CEO of Pain Coach Academy—shares the raw, unfiltered journey that took him from a devastating car accident and a decade of unexplained chronic pain… to becoming a leader in the mind-body healing space.
Alex opens up about how CRPS nearly took his life, why traditional medicine couldn’t help him, and the moment that changed everything—a single conversation that finally made him feel seen. He reveals how evidence-based pain coaching calms the nervous system, reduces pain levels, and restores hope, even when nothing else has worked.
We explore:
• Why rushing, pushing, and constant stress amplify pain
• The science of chronic pain (in simple, human language)
• How to retrain your brain and rebuild safety in your body
• Why meaning, purpose, and service can dramatically reduce symptoms
• The rise of pain coaching—and why it’s becoming the future of holistic healthcare
Whether you’re navigating chronic pain yourself or you help others heal, this episode will change the way you think about the mind-body connection… and show you what’s truly possible when you stop fighting your body and start listening to it.
