Living Unapologetically with Patty Durell

High-achieving women are often praised for doing it all, but at what cost? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Patty Durell to unpack what strength really looks like when you're burning out behind the scenes. From fitness to failure to finally asking for help, this conversation dives into the pressure to keep pushing and the permission to start pausing.Patty shares her insights as a fitness expert who takes a trauma-informed approach to health, reminding us that wellness isn’t about punishing your body—it’s about understanding it. Together, she and Lyndsay challenge the hustle mentality, explore what it means to redefine strength, and offer a science-backed take on how efficient workouts (just 25 minutes, twice a week!) can actually be more effective than the grind.They discuss stress as a full-body experience, the myth of balance, and the healing power of water—both physically and metaphorically. This episode is about rewriting the rules, giving yourself grace, and embracing the version of strength that doesn't require burnout as a badge of honor.Tune in if you’re ready to stop proving your worth through exhaustion and start honoring it through self-care.Find Patty Durell Online Here:Website: www.rocksolidfitnessfl.comInstagram: @rocksolidfitnessflFacebook: Rock Solid Fitness FLLinkedIn: Rock Solid Fitness FLFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:08) Redefining Strength and Self-Care(03:27) The Role of Struggle in Building Strength(07:34) Trauma-Informed Approaches to Healthcare(09:20) Efficient Strength Training Techniques(12:13) Understanding Exercise vs. Activity(15:52) The Mindset Shift: Embracing Failure(21:23) The Importance of Asking for Help(26:52) Managing Stress and Recovery(32:28) The Journey of Healing and GrowthSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | COMING SOON: The Pain Hub - A Women's Healing Community.
