Living with chronic pain can be hard — and being hard on yourself can make it even harder.

In this episode of Live Yes! With Arthritis, mindfulness expert Dr. Christiane Wolf, MD, PhD, explores how self-compassion and mindfulness may help you manage stress, navigate difficult emotions and change the way you experience pain.

Tune in for a reminder that self-compassion isn’t self-pity — it’s giving yourself the same kindness and understanding you’d offer a friend. 🎧

Because we are meant to thrive, not just survive.

This weekend, families living with Juvenile Arthritis came together to connect, build community, learn from one another and discover new tools to help them thrive at every stage of their JA journey.

While caregivers participated in an expert panel focused on navigating life with JA, our kids took part in activities designed to build confidence, independence and connection. Together, families explored movement, nutrition and wellness, taking home practical tools, they can continue using long after the day ended.
A heartfelt thank you to our JA sponsor, Home Infusion Options, for making events like these possible.

We also appreciate our volunteers and event-day partners, People’s Medicine LLC and HomHotYoga, for helping us create such a meaningful day for our JA families.
