  • Redefining Healthcare for People with Disabilities

    Redefining Healthcare for People with Disabilities
    Nov 25 2025
    Living with a disability shouldn’t mean fighting for basic care—but for far too many, it does. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Chanda Hinton for a raw and powerful conversation about chronic pain, systemic gaps in healthcare, and what it really takes to advocate for change when the system isn’t built for you.

    Chanda shares her journey of living with a spinal cord injury, navigating a healthcare world that often overlooks those with complex needs, and turning her personal pain into public advocacy. Together, she and Lyndsay dig into the emotional weight of being your own best (and sometimes only) advocate, the role of integrative therapies in real healing, and the urgent need for accessibility—not just in buildings, but in policy, mindset, and care.

    This conversation is a call to action. It's about moving beyond survival, demanding better, and building community-powered support for those who live with disabilities every single day.

    Tune in if you’re tired of waiting for the system to change—and ready to help change it yourself.

  • Getting Healthy in a Toxic World

    Getting Healthy in a Toxic World
    Nov 18 2025
    What happens when your body starts screaming louder than your schedule? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with clinical herbalist Bonnie D’Arcangelo to talk about trading burnout for balance, and why the answers might be growing in the ground, not sitting on a pharmacy shelf.

    Bonnie shares her journey from a high-stress corporate life to a deep-rooted holistic healing practice, and how she now bridges the gap between science and herbal medicine to help others reclaim their health. They delve into everything from gut health and water quality to why many supplements fail to work and how, when approached with intention, nature can offer genuine solutions.

    This isn’t about ditching Western medicine—it’s about complementing it. Bonnie introduces cutting-edge tools like silicon plasma technology, while also breaking down the basics: better food, cleaner water, and tuning in to what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.

    Tune in if you’re ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start working with your body, not against it.

  • Living Unapologetically

    Living Unapologetically
    Nov 11 2025
    High-achieving women are often praised for doing it all, but at what cost? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Patty Durell to unpack what strength really looks like when you're burning out behind the scenes. From fitness to failure to finally asking for help, this conversation dives into the pressure to keep pushing, and the permission to start pausing.

    Patty shares her insights as a fitness expert who takes a trauma-informed approach to health, reminding us that wellness isn’t about punishing your body—it’s about understanding it. Together, she and Lyndsay challenge the hustle mentality, explore what it means to redefine strength, and offer a science-backed take on how efficient workouts (just 25 minutes, twice a week!) can actually be more effective than the grind.

    They talk about stress as a full-body experience, the myth of balance, and the healing power of water—physically and metaphorically. This episode is about rewriting the rules, giving yourself grace, and embracing the version of strength that doesn't require burnout as a badge of honor.

    Tune in if you’re ready to stop proving your worth through exhaustion and start honoring it through self-care.
