Some wounds don’t show up until adulthood, but they’ve been there all along. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Lisa Watson for a soul-deep conversation about the little girl inside all of us who’s still waiting to be heard, seen, and loved.

Lisa shares her Reparent Yourself Method, a healing approach rooted in acceptance, surrender, and the courage to meet yourself where you are. Together, they talk about how pain can act as a messenger, not something to silence, but something to listen to. The kind that nudges us toward deeper healing, not just for the present, but for the younger version of ourselves still holding the hurt.

They explore the role of fear, the power of rewriting our stories, and how joy—however small—can become a compass for growth. This episode is a reminder that you’re not broken. You’re becoming. And the path to wholeness begins with reconnecting to the version of you that never stopped needing love.

Tune in if you’ve ever felt like your past is still calling the shots, and you’re finally ready to pick up the phone with compassion.

Sometimes the path to healing starts with letting your imagination lead. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Deborah Weed for a conversation that blends creativity, resilience, and a fierce reclaiming of self-worth.

Deborah shares her story of being bedridden for three years—misdiagnosed, dismissed, and cut off from the life she once knew. But instead of giving up, she turned inward, channeling her pain into something powerful: a Broadway-scale musical and a character named Paisley the Porcupine who teaches kids (and grown-ups) about the power of self-worth. “Quills up,” she says, is the reminder we all need when it’s time to protect our truth and stand in our strength.

They talk about the difference between self-worth and self-esteem, the impact of childhood narratives, and how creativity isn’t just a passion, it’s a path to remembering who you are. Whether it’s theater, writing, music, or movement, pursuing what lights you up can be the most radical form of healing there is.

Tune in if you’ve ever felt silenced, sidelined, or small, and are ready to take your power back, one creative spark at a time.

Chronic pain isn’t just about what’s happening in the body, it’s about what’s happening in the brain, too. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Dr. Mark Olson for a conversation that unpacks the deeper layers of pain—where neuroscience, trauma, and lived experience all intersect.

Dr. Olson brings a trauma-informed lens to the table, helping us understand how pain is shaped not only by physical injury but by emotion, memory, and the nervous system’s learned responses. Together, they explore why chronic pain is so often misunderstood, and how a deeper understanding—by both patients and practitioners—can shift everything.

They talk about the brain’s incredible ability to adapt, how coping mechanisms develop as survival tools, and why compassion and connection are just as critical as treatment plans. This episode offers more than information—it offers validation for those who’ve been told their pain is “all in their head,” and clarity for those still trying to make sense of it all.

Tune in if you’re ready to rethink what pain really is, and how healing might start with being truly seen.

Being highly sensitive isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Jennifer Pilates for a conversation that embraces the emotional depth, intuitive wisdom, and raw sensitivity that so many carry, especially after trauma or chronic pain.

Jennifer shares how her own healing journey led her to blend Pilates, Reiki, and energy work into a deeply holistic practice. Together, she and Lyndsay unpack the connection between physical pain and emotional overload, the importance of nervous system regulation, and how practices like Reiki, Pilates, and light therapy can open new pathways to healing, beyond just the physical.

They talk about how intuition plays a real, tangible role in navigating life, how being empathic can feel like both a burden and a gift, and why community support makes all the difference. This conversation introduces the Empowered Within Collective, a space Jennifer created to support people who are done trying to heal alone.

This episode is a reminder that sensitivity can coexist with strength—and that healing isn’t about fixing who you are, but coming home to it.

Tune in if you’ve ever felt too much and are ready to realize that might be exactly what makes you powerful.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once, and it doesn’t always look the way we expect. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with hypnotherapist Kerie Logan for a conversation that moves beyond surface-level self-help and dives straight into the heart of transformation.

Kerie shares her personal journey into hypnotherapy and the trauma-informed approach she now brings to her practice—one rooted in safety, compassion, and a deep understanding of how the body and mind hold onto pain. Together, she and Lyndsay talk about what it means to truly feel safe in your healing, why self-love isn’t optional, and how shame and judgment can quietly derail even the strongest among us.

This isn’t about quick fixes or bypassing the hard stuff. It’s about tuning into your own frequency, embracing the weird and the woo, and realizing that healing happens in layers, not on a timeline. Kerie introduces the idea of 3D, 4D, and 5D consciousness, not as some far-off spiritual theory, but as a way to understand where we’re stuck… and where we’re headed.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, broken, or stuck in your pain, this episode is your permission slip to begin again with softness, honesty, and maybe a little hypnosis.

Tune in if you’re ready to trade judgment for curiosity—and start healing on your own terms.

A diagnosis doesn’t mean you have to hit pause on your purpose. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Deb Krier—a powerhouse entrepreneur, stage four breast cancer survivor, and proof that you can still show up and lead, even when life throws its worst.

They talk about what it really takes to keep moving forward while living with chronic pain, illness, and the emotional weight of it all. Deb shares how she built her “battle plan” with doctors, used humor as fuel, and leaned into empathy—not just to survive cancer, but to keep thriving in business and in life.

This episode isn’t about pretending it’s easy. It’s about choosing to rise anyway. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like their diagnosis defined them, or who’s been told to slow down when every part of them still wants to show up.

Deb reminds us that empowerment starts from within—but it’s amplified when we use it to lift others. Because thriving isn’t about ignoring the hard stuff. It’s about carrying it with purpose.

Tune in if you're ready to reclaim your ambition—regardless of what you’re carrying.

Some stories crack you open—in the best possible way. In this moving episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Julie Barth to talk about what it really takes to keep going when life keeps hitting hard. From surviving domestic violence to caring for her special needs daughter and losing her husband to cancer, Julie’s story is one of pain, yes—but also one of grit, grace, and quiet strength.

Together, she and Lyndsay talk about the layered reality of motherhood, the exhaustion of caregiving, and the way grief can stretch far beyond a single moment of loss. But this isn’t a story about defeat. It’s about choosing to get back up. Julie shares how advocacy became her purpose, how community gave her strength, and how art became a powerful outlet for healing.

This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn’t something you’re born with—it’s something you build. And even in the darkest seasons, there is light to be found when women show up for each other.

Tune in if you need a reminder that pain can shape purpose—and that you don’t have to walk through it alone.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of institutional abuse, medical neglect, and trauma experienced by survivors of the troubled teen industry. Please listen with care.

This one’s heavy—but necessary. In this gripping episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Meg Appelgate to expose the disturbing realities of the troubled teen industry—a multi-billion-dollar machine built on silence, shame, and survival.

Meg shares her personal story of being institutionalized as a teenager, detailing the abuse, medical neglect, and psychological control she endured under the guise of “treatment.” From attack therapy to forced circle sessions, this conversation pulls back the curtain on an industry that claims to help struggling youth but often leaves them with deeper wounds.

Lyndsay and Meg dig into the lack of evidence-based practices, the systemic failures that keep these places running, and the long-term physical and emotional toll they take on survivors. They talk about how trauma isn’t just something you move past—it lives in the body, demands attention, and deserves to be addressed with care, not cruelty.

But this isn’t just about exposing what’s broken. It’s about amplifying the voices of survivors and advocating for real change. Meg shares how her organization, Unsilenced, is helping others reclaim their stories, seek justice, and hold the industry accountable.

Tune in if you’re ready to hear the truth behind the troubled teen industry—and why it’s time to stop sending pain away to be fixed behind closed doors.

What if your pain wasn’t the end of your story, but the beginning of something bigger? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Rob Rene for a conversation that weaves together faith, frequency medicine, and the deeply personal path of healing outside the mainstream.

Rob shares how his own health crisis became the catalyst for transformation—one that led him away from dependency on Big Pharma and toward a more holistic, spiritually grounded approach. From nutrition to community, scripture to self-inquiry, he breaks down the tools that helped him heal not just physically, but at every level.

Together, Rob and Lyndsay question what we’ve been taught about health, what it means to truly listen to the body, and how sometimes the answers come from the most ancient of sources. This episode isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about tuning in, staying curious, and trusting that healing looks different for everyone.
