When you’re living with chronic illness or pain, Stress isn’t just a side effect, it becomes part of the fabric of your everyday life. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Jason Ott for a powerful conversation about the deeper layers of stress, the emotional toll of being chronically unwell, and the importance of a truly holistic approach to healing.

Jason introduces the Being Triad—a framework that connects mind, body, and spirit as equal partners in the healing process. Together, he and Lyndsay unpack how emotional Trauma, unresolved stress, and poor boundaries can quietly fuel disease, and how mapping your personal timeline can reveal more than any lab test ever could.This episode isn’t just about coping—it’s about reclaiming agency.

They talk about what it means to advocate for yourself in a broken system, to prioritize self-care like your life depends on it (because it does), and to get curious about new ways of looking at old patterns.

Tune in if you’re done treating your body like a problem to solve—and ready to start listening to what it’s been trying to say all along.

Lyndsay Soprano Lyndsay Soprano, Host of Giving Pain Purpose and Founder of The Pain Hub

Lyndsay Soprano is a bold, unfiltered voice in the chronic pain and trauma recovery space—transforming unimaginable suffering into unstoppable advocacy. She’s the founder and host of Giving Pain Purpose, a raw and riveting show that dives into the realities of living in—and rising from—chronic pain, trauma, and invisible illness.

Diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in 2017—one of the most painful conditions on the McGill Pain Scale—Lyndsay is also a survivor of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, infertility, depression, anxiety, and divorce. She’s walked through hell more than once—and set up a mic right in the middle of it.

Her mantra, “The only way out…is through,” isn’t just podcast fodder—it’s a way of life. After years lost to misdiagnoses and failed surgeries, she took healing into her own hands, choosing a trauma-informed, integrative approach that blends grit, grace, and humor.

She brings over two decades of entrepreneurial and creative firepower as the owner of Bound-by Marketing, launched in 2000. With degrees in Communications, Creative Writing, Vocal Performance, and an MBA in International Sales + Marketing, Lyndsay knows how to tell stories that stick—and heal.

Lyndsay is not here to sugarcoat the journey. She’s here to give pain purpose—and to help her audience and guests feel seen, understood, and not alone.
