The Power of Your Pain

Inspired most by her mother’s survival, Carla learned to find the silver lining in the darkest moments of her life. After hearing hundreds of harrowing stories from families, friends, clients and co-workers, she was convinced that navigating pain was a topic to be explored. Blending truth-based, fictional narratives and factual accounts, Carla weaves stories of trials, trauma and transcendence. She then challenges readers to consider pain’s power through examination and personal exploring. For many, elements of anguish are purely negative and subsequently avoided and suppressed; but, Carla analyzes pain through a lens of history, heartache and its penchant for progression. Understanding how pain can precede insight and empathy, she champions efforts to identify pain at its source and manage it effectively. The Power of Your Pain is a must read for living a life of wholeness and well-being.
