Start Wherever You’re At

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.
