Check out For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint’s latest column on the Pain News Network. We all know we speak thoughts that originate in the brain, but are you aware the body also has a thing or two to say?  Cynthia shares in this insightful piece that she’s had two body-emanating premonitions that have come true - and a third that will have dire consequences for her soon if it comes to pass. But is Cynthia's last premonition a done deal or can she alter her fate? If we connect body and mind, perhaps it's never too late to change course for better wellness and even life.

Today is International Women’s Day which celebrates the rights of women worldwide - and to honor this worthy day, For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint has consulted on and is featured in an eye-opening article that focuses on women being dismissed in healthcare which is running in National Post, Canada’s leading legacy media publication. Penned by Angelica Bottera, the piece illuminates the struggles women go through to be advocates for themselves in broken healthcare systems while spreading awareness of this dilemma that affects countless women across the globe.

Chronic pain and social isolation make for strange bedfellows, and so it is with For Grace's March Story of the Month as we continue to explore this intersection. Woman In Pain Sara Gehrig knows both loneliness and being alone, but she approaches them as different sides of the same coin. Sara sees being alone as an essential part of her pain management, that quieting the mind and resting her body promotes wellness. Loneliness comes when her pain is misunderstood by loved ones and is dismissed with comments like "but you look good." By giving herself the gifts of self-care and compassion, Sara can embrace loneliness as her companion, while not feeling alone.

For Grace's Women In Pain Nation Project moves into its second year, growing by leaps and bounds, while telling it like it is for a community often marginalized. Through "Thoughts of the Day" videos and "Hot Take" interviews, For Grace leaders Cynthia Toussaint and John Garrett peel back the chronic pain experience, giving new insights, advice and wisdom on ways to stay healthy, well and connected. As the Nation expands worldwide via multiple social media platforms, more women are finding out they're not alone - and that there is hope for better days ahead.
