    219: Giving Pain Purpose — Living With Trauma, Chronic Pain, and Radical Gratitude with Lyndsay Soprano

    Pain has a way of demanding your attention, but it doesn't get to decide who you become. Lyndsay Soprano's life has been shaped by layers of trauma, abuse, chronic illness, and a diagnosis of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, one of the most painful conditions known. Yet instead of letting pain define her, Lyndsay made a conscious decision to give it purpose. This episode explores what it means to reclaim your power when your body hurts, your past weighs heavy, and healing feels overwhelming. Through honesty, humor, and radical gratitude, Lyndsay shares how facing trauma head-on, questioning broken systems, and choosing presence over despair changed everything. Her story is not about fixing pain,  it's about learning how to live fully in spite of it. Guest Bio Lyndsay Soprano is the founder and host of The Pain Game Podcast and a bold advocate in the chronic pain and trauma recovery space. Diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) in 2017, Lyndsay is also a survivor of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, infertility, depression, anxiety, and divorce. After years of misdiagnosis and failed treatments, she chose a trauma-informed, integrative approach to healing and turned her lived experience into a platform that helps others feel seen, understood, and less alone. Her guiding belief is simple but uncompromising: the only way out is through.   You'll hear About How early trauma quietly shaped Lyndsay's coping mechanisms Living with CRPS and navigating life in constant physical pain The moment she chose gratitude over despair Why Western medicine alone failed her — and what she did differently Turning pain into purpose through conversation, advocacy, and voice   Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:00 Lyndsay's Early Trauma and Childhood Coping 05:00 Uncovering Repressed Memories and Their Impact 08:00 Living With CRPS and Daily Pain Decisions 12:00 Gratitude as a Survival Skill 15:30 The Night Everything Had to Change 18:30 Reclaiming Power From Medication and Misdiagnosis 22:30 Functional and Integrative Healing Approaches 26:30 Advocacy, Self-Trust, and Taking Control of Care 30:00 Why Pain Does Not Get to Define Identity 33:30 Creating The Pain Game Podcast 37:30 Writing, Forgiveness, and Letting Go 41:00 Lyndsay's Message to Anyone Feeling Hopeless 45:00 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, notice where pain or frustration is trying to take your power.

    In this episode, Chuck Thuss welcomes former Team USA bobsledder William Person for a raw and deeply revealing conversation about life after elite sport, the hidden toll of repeated head trauma, and the unexpected therapy that helped pull him back from the brink. William spent nine seasons competing at the highest level, enduring extreme G-forces, repeated impacts, and the emotional strain that so many athletes carry in silence.
