Career Success While Healing Chronic Symptoms
Thu Jan 29 2026
Ambition doesn’t have to cost your health.
We start with the core problem: living neck up. Our culture rewards cognition—thinking, fixing, producing—while the body’s signals get ignored until they become symptoms.
We dig into how to build a meaningful career without reigniting chronic pain/symptoms or overwhelming your nervous system. Tanner shares his personal experience, running two small businesses and staying healthy.
We share a simple, fast tool called drop-in and describe: a 30–60 second check-in you can do multiple times an hour. You’ll hear how that tiny practice can lead to big changes, as you hear your nervous system cues and respond with regulation.
Healing doesn’t demand that you dim your drive; it asks you to balance it. If you’re ready to pursue growth with a safer body and a clearer mind, join us for strategies you can use today. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who’s pushing too hard, and leave a review to help others find the show.
Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health!
