Chronic pain and how to heal

from A Superwoman Handbook · host Gillian Utesch

Today’s episode is one you’ll want to sit with—and maybe even listen to twice. We’re joined by Olivia Caggiano, a radiant soul and walking testimony to the truth that healing is possible. At just 25, she’s already walked a road many don’t even imagine in a lifetime—from sudden, chronic pain that left her bedridden at 16, to a decade-long search for answers, diagnoses, and hope. Her story is raw, layered, and deeply moving. We talk about what it’s like to lose your independence, your identity, and your sense of safety in your own body—and how, through yoga, nervous system regulation, and deep self-work, she found her way back to herself. But this isn’t just about pain or illness—it’s about transformation. Olivia breaks open the connection between trauma and chronic illness, the failures of traditional medicine, and how embodiment work gave her life back. We talk about navigating relationships, shedding emotional armor, and the quiet power of having someone simply sit with you in your pain. This one’s for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misdiagnosed, or like their story didn’t matter. Olivia reminds us that we are not broken—and that healing isn’t only possible, it’s our birthright.
