In this episode I sit down with Lindsey, whose story adds such an important layer to this work. Lindsey developed myopericarditis after a COVID infection and experienced very real, medically confirmed inflammation. But even after her scans were clear and the acute condition resolved, the chest pain did not go away. That lingering pain sent her on a journey that so many of you will recognize — the confusing space between “you’re fine” on paper and “I don’t feel fine” in your body. Chest pain is not something we’ve talked about much here before, and I’m so grateful she was willing to bring this conversation forward with honesty and nuance.
Through a mindbody approach and my work, Lindsey was able to understand why her nervous system was still sounding the alarm long after the original issue had resolved. As she began to address the fear, parenting stress, and the emotional underpinnings beneath the symptoms, the pain finally began to shift. Her experience moved her so deeply that she went on to earn her nurse coach certification and now works with others navigating chronic pain. This conversation is a powerful reminder that symptoms can be real and intense without being permanent or structural, and that healing often requires us to look beyond the scan and into the nervous system.
