Between wild tangents and inapposite comments, Dom and Misha mention shame just frequently enough to pretend that it is the theme of the episode. So how does shame interfere with managing a chronic illness? Email us! anythingshortpod[at]gmail[dot]com Twitter: @shortofapod Instagram: @shortofapod

Dom applies a lacrosse ball to herself and is unimpressed. Misha tries ASMR and tingles prove elusive and Dom reviews 'Manage Your Pain: Practical and Positive Ways of Adapting to Chronic Pain'.

In which Dom and Misha tell their origin stories.  Then Dom reviews 'The Complete FODMAP Diet', Misha reports on misadventures with a FitBit, Dom frowns on the app 'Smiling Mind' and Misha reviews his subscription to MobilityWOD Pro. As a bonus, this episode represents a lovely illustration of the combined power of the Dunning-Kruger Effect and dramatic irony, as Misha's obscenely inflated confidence in his limited audio production capabilities results in him being just about inaudible for the duration of it.
