  • Where Stillness Meets Strength

    Where Stillness Meets Strength
    Sep 30 2025
    When everything around you feels loud, fast, and overwhelming, sometimes the best thing you can do is stop, and get in cold water. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Kris Rice for a conversation about nervous system healing, resilience, and how cold therapy became a lifeline for navigating chaos.

    Kris shares her journey of creating the ChillPod—a luxury cold immersion system designed to make cold plunging feel empowering, accessible, and deeply restorative, especially for women. She and Lyndsay unpack how cold exposure doesn’t just reduce inflammation or nerve pain, it rewires how you respond to stress, helps you come back to your body, and reminds you that you're stronger than your worst days.

    They talk about setting intentions, listening to your body, and creating space for stillness when the world keeps pushing you to hustle. Whether it’s cold plunging, breathwork, or simply being honest about what you need, this episode is a nudge toward choosing calm, even when everything feels like chaos.

    Tune in if you’re ready to reset your system, reclaim your calm, and start building a wellness practice that actually works for you.

  • Soar With Tapping

    Soar With Tapping
    Sep 23 2025
    There’s a reason the stress never really leaves your body, because most of us never actually face it. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Amy Vincze for a deeply honest conversation about the emotional roots of chronic pain, the weight of unspoken trauma, and how tapping can help you finally release what you’ve been holding onto for way too long.

    Amy shares how tapping therapy (EFT) became a lifeline for her and her clients—a practice that goes beyond surface-level stress relief and helps regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol, and make space for emotional truth. Together, they dive into the connection between emotional overwhelm and physical pain, the fear of slowing down, and the way we’ve been taught to normalize struggle instead of heal from it.

    This conversation also touches on the chakra system as a map for both emotional and physical symptoms, and why addressing foundational fears is crucial for lasting change. Healing, they remind us, isn’t always pretty, but it’s worth it. And it often starts with giving yourself permission to feel what you've been avoiding.

    Tune in if you’re ready to stop pushing through and start listening to what your body’s been trying to say all along.

  • Pain is Happening For You

    Pain is Happening For You
    Sep 16 2025
    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.

  • Reclaim Your Power Through Creativity

    Reclaim Your Power Through Creativity
    Sep 9 2025
    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.

  • How the Brain + Pain Work

    How the Brain + Pain Work
    Sep 2 2025
    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.

  • Let There Be Light in Our Healing

    Let There Be Light in Our Healing
    Aug 26 2025
    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.

  • Master The Upper Rooms

    Master The Upper Rooms
    Aug 12 2025
    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.Find Kerie Logan Online Here:Website: www.empoweredwithin.comWebsite: www.mastertheupperrooms.comWebsite: www.undetectednarcissist.comInstagram: @mastertheupperoomsYouTube: Master the Upper Rooms of Human ConsciousnessYouTube: Empowered Within HypnosisLinkedIn: Kerie LoganPodcast: Undetected NarcissistPodcast: Master the Upper Rooms of Human ConsciousnessFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma Healing(03:09) Kerie’s Journey into Hypnotherapy(09:30) The Power of Hypnotherapy and Self-Healing(15:29) Building Trust in Hypnotherapy(21:00) Creating a Non-Judgmental Space for Healing(23:16) Breaking Free from Self-Judgment(24:38) Harnessing the Power of Rebellion(25:05) Understanding Pain and Its Positive Aspects(26:23) Emotional Pain vs. Physical Pain(27:12) Healing Through Soul Conversations(29:12) Transforming Relationships with Forgiveness(30:34) Lessons from Painful Experiences(32:26) The Role of Trauma in Personal Growth(33:35) Generational Trauma and Its Impact(34:25) Embracing Authenticity and Rebellion(35:39) The Healing Process and Its Challenges(37:00) Crafting a Personalized Healing Journey(38:18) Intuitive Healing and Spiritual Guidance(40:39) Resources for Healing and Growth(43:43) Final Thoughts on Pain and Healing
