Flourishing with Fibromyalgia Wellness Coaching with Dr. Robin Pfaff

01/13/2026

Recently, I got to chat again with Tami Stackelhouse on the Fibromyalgia Podcast®.

In Episode 176, we'll talk about why traditional New Year's resolutions often activate the stress response for people with fibromyalgia and why that pressure can lead straight into flares and burnout. ⁠
⁠
We'll explore what "A Compassionate New Year" looks like and I'll share a simple mindful self-compassion framework along with gentle, practical tools you can use in just a minute or two. ⁠
⁠
You don't need a new you this year, just a kinder, gentler relationship with yourself.⁠💜

Feeling better this year really does start smaller than you think — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. 💜⁠
⁠
A Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® can help you:⁠
⁠
✨ set gentle, doable wellness goals⁠
🌿 understand what your body is telling you⁠
🤝 create a plan that fits your energy⁠
🎉 navigate setbacks and celebrate small wins⁠
⁠
Here’s something most people don’t know:⁠
Medical students in the US receive an average of just 9 hours of training on pain management — total.⁠
⁠
🚫 That’s not fibromyalgia.⁠
🚫 That’s not chronic pain.⁠
That’s all pain — acute, chronic, and every cause combined.⁠
⁠
And even the most caring doctors simply don’t have the time to support you day to day the way fibromyalgia really requires.⁠
⁠
That’s where a coach comes in. 💜⁠
⁠
A Certified Fibromyalgia Coach® fills that gap and walks with you through the practical, real-life steps that help you feel better — and we all live with fibromyalgia ourselves. We get it. We’ve been where you are, have found ways to feel better, and we know how to guide you forward.⁠
⁠
If you’re dreaming of a year with less pain and more steady energy, having someone on your team who truly understands fibromyalgia can make all the difference.⁠

A very helpful overview of the components of tender self-compassion❤️

As I write in my book Living Your BEST Life with Fibromyalgia: A Compassionate Approach to Reclaim Your Health and Reimagine Your Purpose, I really wanted reading my book to feel like we were sitting and talking together over a cup of tea.

A dear friend, Connie Hemmer sent me an email recently saying, “I can hear your voice as I read, and I wish we were across the table at Starbucks visiting!”

Me too, Connie!

But since I can’t sit down with everyone, I invite you to consider purchasing my book for yourself or a friend or family member.

You’ll learn how to improve, not only, your physical health but also, your emotional, social and spiritual well-being.

My book is available in three versions: paperback, kindle and an audio version. You can purchase it HERE>>> https://geni.us/LYBLWFibromyalgia

And I’d love for you to leave an amazon review also!

Earlier this year I was part of the Living Well with Fibromyalgia Summit.

In my session, Breaking Free of Harsh Self-Criticism Through Mindful Self-Compassion⁠, you get to learn how to develop a kinder inner voice and how mindful self-compassion helps overcome self-criticism and foster a positive mindset⁠.⁠

When I was writing my book Living Your BEST Life with Fibromyalgia: A Compassionate Approach to Reclaim your Health and Reimagine Your Purpose I really wanted the book to be fibro friendly.

The chapters are short and to the point. I share lots of poignant stories from my own life and from the women I work with. And there is an emphasis on identifying simple but effective strategies to feel better that you can implement right away.

I’m well aware that for many people when their fibromyalgia symptoms are in a flare it can be very difficult to read an actual book. That’s why I asked my daughter, Michelle Dahlenburg to narrate the audio version of my book.

Have you been wanting to read my book but haven’t felt up to it?

Consider treating yourself to a holiday purchase of the audio version of my book HERE>>> https://geni.us/LYBLWFibromyalgia

This link provides a sample of Michelle reading from the book. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCSY4ALsVmT/...

My book Living Your BEST Life with Fibromyalgia: A Compassionate Approach to Reclaim Your Health and Reimagine your Purpose would make an excellent holiday gift for yourself or for a friend or family member.

The paperback version of my book is really a three in one bonus as I’ve been told that some readers are coloring the beautiful illustrations in the book drawn by my dear friend Linda Sabic Elliott. Also, there is lots of white space in the book with plenty of room to journal in response to the reflection questions at the end of each chapter.

So you have a three in one present to yourself or someone else: a book to read, a book to color and a book to journal in. Sound good? You can buy it on the link below. And I’d love for you to leave an Amazon review as well.

A few months ago I got to be the Commencement Speaker for the Fibromyalgia Stories of Hope and Healing event hosted by Tami Stackelhouse.
⁠
"The women I work with seek out a coach because they know in the depths of their being that they can feel better if only they have the right sort of guidance to help them."⁠
⁠
Are you curious to see if a health coach like me could support you in finding ways to feel better?

It’s easy to schedule a free consultation with me to see if we would be a good fit to work together HERE: https://lnkd.in/e7wdjxk
