Honestly… same. We’re tired in advance.

If anyone needs us, we’ll be mentally canceling plans we haven’t even made yet.

There was one night when I made the choice — I could keep going down the dark road, or I could do something with it. I didn’t know what it would look like. I just knew I couldn’t keep living without purpose.

That’s how this show started. I had to wake up for something that mattered — to help people, to make the pain worth it.

As and I talk about, we don’t always know right away when that shift is coming. Sometimes we sit in the pain for a long time before we’re ready to move through it. And that’s okay.

shares her experience living with a spinal cord injury and navigating a medical system that wasn’t built with her in mind.

Most of us walk into healing like, “Here’s my laundry list — fix it all.”

But as Bonnie D’Arcangelo says, that’s not how it works. You can’t do fifty things at once. You start where it matters most — the gut.

If your digestive system’s a mess, nothing else in your body can truly heal. The gut is ground zero.

Clear out the junk. Strip it down. Start new.
It’s not easy work, but it’s the work that changes everything.

What happens when your body starts screaming louder than your schedule?

Lyndsay sat down with Bonnie D’Arcangelo, a clinical herbalist who walked away from corporate burnout and into a more grounded way of healing.

They talk about what happens when you stop reaching for quick fixes and start listening—to your body, your gut, even your water.

Bonnie () shares how herbal medicine and science can work together to support real, lasting change. From gut health to nervous system repair to why most supplements aren’t doing what you think they are—this episode is about coming back to basics, and coming back to yourself.

It’s not about ditching medicine. It’s about remembering that the earth has always had a seat at the table.

If you’re tired of being told “everything looks fine” when nothing feels fine—this one’s for you.

At some point, the walls you built to protect yourself
start to feel more like a cage.

You built them for safety—
to stop the hurt, to stay in control, to survive.
And for a while, they worked.

But now they keep out the good stuff too.
The love. The peace. The freedom you swore you wanted.

Leaving that prison doesn’t mean the fear disappears.
It just means you’re brave enough to stop calling it protection.

Your body doesn’t care where the stress comes from — lack of sleep, a hard workout, bad news, or emotional chaos. It all goes in the same bucket.

As Patty Durell explains, every time we push ourselves, we dig a little stress hole. Recovery isn’t optional — it’s how we fill it back up.

So ask yourself: how are you filling your bucket today?

High-achieving. Burned out. Still pretending it’s fine.

Lyndsay sat down with Patty Durell to talk about what real strength looks like—especially when you’ve been praised for doing it all, even as it’s slowly breaking you down.

Patty () brings a trauma-informed lens to fitness and reminds us that wellness shouldn’t come at the cost of our sanity. Together, they challenge hustle culture, redefine what it means to be strong, and talk about how 25 minutes twice a week can do more for your body than hours of punishment ever will.

They also get into stress as a full-body experience, the myth of balance, and why sometimes healing starts in water—whether that’s a bath, a swim, or just a moment of stillness.

This one’s for the women who are tired of proving themselves through exhaustion—and ready to start showing up for their health in a way that actually heals.

Jason Ott got real about what so many of us wonder: How did my emotional pain turn into physical pain?

He traced his colitis and autoimmune struggles back to stress, disconnection, and survival mode — drugs, alcohol, overtraining, anything to just get through the day. But once he connected the dots, it became clear:

Emotional wounds don’t disappear. They find a home in the body.

Healing starts when we stop separating emotional pain from physical illness.

When you live with chronic illness or pain, stress isn’t just a side effect. It is the day-to-day.

Lyndsay sat down with Jason Ott () to talk about what happens when your body won’t stop screaming—and the world keeps telling you to just “manage it.”

Jason shares his Being Triad framework, a mind-body-spirit approach to healing that challenges the idea that illness is purely physical. Together, they dig into how trauma, unprocessed stress, and lack of boundaries can feed disease—and how mapping your personal timeline can uncover what labs never will.

This episode isn’t about coping. It’s about taking your power back, learning to advocate for yourself, and getting curious about what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.

If you’re done treating your body like a problem to fix—this one’s for you.
