Lost a Close Friend After a Misunderstanding About My Wellness Course
I'm really struggling with the loss of a close friend and fellow wellness enthusiast. We met about 5 years ago through our shared interest in holistic health. We even went on a wellness retreat together last year. She was supposed to attend my wedding celebration, but two weeks before, she texted saying she wasn't coming anymore. I tried to reach out, but got no response. The only thing I can think of is that there was a misunderstanding about one of my wellness courses. She had been interested in taking my 30-day detox program, which used to be available for direct signup. Recently, I changed it to require a consultation call first. The price also increased to reflect the personalized coaching. She signed up, but there was a scheduling mix-up with the consultation. When she didn't receive the full materials right away, she requested a refund. I'm really confused and hurt that this seems to have ended our friendship. I always try to act with integrity in my wellness business. I never meant to offend her. I wish she had talked to me about any concerns. I'm not sure if I should try to reach out again or just let it go. Has anyone else experienced losing a friend over a business misunderstanding? How did you handle it?kurt-rogahn

Why am I not experiencing forearm issues from pull-ups like others?
Hey everyone, Kurt here. I've been doing pull-ups and other bodyweight exercises for a while now as part of my wellness routine. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people seem to develop forearm pain or issues from doing pull-ups, but I haven't experienced this myself. For context, I've worked physical jobs in the past, so my grip strength was already pretty good when I started bodyweight fitness. That said, I know my strength is probably imbalanced since I don't do specific wrist or finger extensor work. I've had some hand, thumb, and wrist discomfort from working out, but never actual forearm pain. It's interesting to me how some folks can be doing regular weighted pull-ups and suddenly wake up with nagging forearm issues. Meanwhile, I can spend all day gripping things, do weighted pull-ups, climb, etc. and at worst end up with tight wrists. I feel like I'm constantly pushing the limits with my forearms, bordering on overtraining them, but not getting the same issues others report. Anyone else have similar experiences or insights on why this might be? Curious to hear your thoughts!kurt-rogahn
