  • The Exhaustion of Pain

    The Exhaustion of Pain
    Jun 24 2025
    What happens when you’re already drowning in chronic pain—and then life throws drywall, sawdust, and emotional chaos on top of it? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano gets real about the mess behind the scenes: home renovation hell, relentless exhaustion, and the kind of stress that clings to your skin.

    This isn’t a glamorized version of pushing through. It’s about those moments when everything feels too loud, too heavy, too much. Lyndsay opens up about the toll that physical pain takes when you’re not numbing it, and how hard it can be to walk away from things—even when they’re clearly not serving you. She shares what it’s like to live in a body that feels like a battleground, and how something as simple as a swim can feel like coming home.

    More than anything, she talks about finding purpose inside the pain. The power of community. The reminder that you are not your diagnosis. And the importance of setting boundaries that protect your peace—especially when life feels like a construction zone.

    This one’s for anyone who feels like their body is breaking and their life is a little too chaotic to keep pretending everything’s fine.

    Tune in if you’re craving honesty, connection, and a little more room to breathe.

  • Stop Eating Pain Away

    Stop Eating Pain Away
    Jun 17 2025
    Ever felt powerless in front of the pantry, like you’re watching someone else control the snacks? That creeping shame after a binge is rough. In this candid talk, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Amber Abila—a woman who’s been there, who’s been through it, and who found herself on the other side.

    Amber opens up about her binge-eating journey, peeling back the layers to reveal how dieting, stress, and outdated habits rewired her brain into a food-fueled panic button. She takes us into the real work she did to reset her relationship with food—mindset shifts, self-talk work, mindful bites, and small victories that don’t come in bite-sized packaging.

    Together, they break it down: the difference between real hunger and emotional hunger, the power of speaking kindly to yourself, and how rewriting your food story means seeing your body as an ally—not an adversary. This isn’t about perfection or sealing off your feelings. It’s about curiosity, reclaiming trust in your body, and learning that food doesn’t have to be the boss of you.

    Let this episode be the reminder that recovery is possible—even if it feels messy, slow, and confusing. You’re allowed to rewrite your story.

    Tune in if you’ve ever felt caught in the binge cycle. You don’t have to be defined by it.

  • The Mineral No One Talks About

    The Mineral No One Talks About
    Jun 10 2025
    If you’re tired, wired, and in pain—this one’s for you. Insomnia, stress, and chronic discomfort often show up together, and we tend to treat them like separate problems. But what if they all stem from something simple… and fixable?

    Lyndsay Soprano talks with Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In, about the quiet power of magnesium. Not the kind in chalky pills or powders that mess with your gut—but in a cream your body can actually absorb. Natalie shares how magnesium supports everything from sleep and anxiety to inflammation, energy, blood pressure, and even mood swings.

    They dig into how magnesium deficiency flies under the radar, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how most of us—kids included—aren’t getting enough. From ADHD to weight loss to workout recovery, magnesium plays a starring role in our well-being. And the truth is, food isn’t always enough.

    This conversation is equal parts science and real talk. It’s about understanding your body, getting ahead of burnout, and giving your nervous system the support it’s been quietly begging for.

    Tune in if you’ve tried everything for your pain, sleep, or stress—and nothing’s worked. This might be the missing piece.

  • Cancer Blows

    Cancer Blows
    Jun 3 2025
    Routine checkups aren’t supposed to flip your world upside down. But for Korrie Medina, they did. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Korrie to talk about what it means to keep living your life while battling cancer.

    Korrie opens up about the shock of her diagnosis, the rollercoaster of treatments—chemo, radiation, brachytherapy—and the way cancer doesn’t just touch your body, but everything: your mind, your relationships, your career. Lyndsay shares her own story too—what it’s like to go through the medical system, the emotional fallout, and how women are so often expected to just keep going no matter how brutal it gets.

    They talk about the messiness of it all—how cancer can change your life in a heartbeat, how asking for help feels like a risk, and how it’s easy to lose yourself in the chaos. But they also talk about strength: how to hold on to joy, to find moments of light, and to keep moving forward even when you’re running on fumes.

    This episode is real, raw, and a reminder that no matter what you’re going through, you’re allowed to take up space and put yourself first.

  • Surviving the Suicidal Thoughts Storm

    Surviving the Suicidal Thoughts Storm
    May 27 2025
    ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains a discussion around suicidal thoughts. Please take care while listening and seek support if you need it.

    Living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) isn’t just painful—it’s punishing. It hijacks your body, messes with your mind, and turns everyday tasks into uphill battles. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Jeannette Tashjian for a brutally honest conversation about what it really means to live with relentless, unpredictable pain.

    They talk about the parts most people don’t see: the mental spiral, the isolation, the weight of explaining yourself over and over, and the moments when giving up feels like the only option. But they also talk about what keeps them going—connection, infrared sauna therapy, self-advocacy, and the power of simply being heard.

    This episode doesn’t sugarcoat anything. From navigating life with a disability to confronting the stigma around suicidal thoughts, Jeannette and Lyndsay lay it all out. They speak from the gut—about grief, about resilience, and about finding pieces of joy in a body that feels like it’s working against you.

    If you’ve ever felt like no one understands what you’re going through—or if you love someone who lives with chronic pain—this conversation will hit home.

    Tune in for the truth behind CRPS, and the reminder that you’re not alone in this fight.

  • Tap That Ass!

    Tap That Ass!
    May 20 2025
    Grief isn’t just sadness—it’s exhaustion, energy that never returns, and stress that hides in your muscles. For Lyndsay Soprano, grief has been a thief, stealing her vitality and sense of self. In this episode, she sits down with Lauren Fonvielle, an expert in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), to talk about how grief doesn’t just exist in your mind—it makes a home in your body.

    Lyndsay and Lauren talk about the quiet weight women carry, juggling endless roles while feeling like they’re falling apart inside. They discuss how stress turns into physical pain, why emotional wounds don’t just fade, and how EFT (tapping) can help release some of that stored pain. It’s not just about tapping—it’s about facing what you’ve buried, letting yourself feel, and finding a way to actually breathe again.

    But this isn’t just another self-care chat. It’s a raw, honest look at what it means to show up for yourself, even when everything feels like too much. It’s about learning to be gentle with yourself and recognizing that healing is messy, but possible.

    Tune in if you’re carrying grief you can’t shake. You’re not alone in this.
