Why do so many women live with chronic pain—and why is it so often misunderstood or dismissed?

In this episode, Madeleine Lowry explores the powerful connection between emotional and physical pain, and why women are particularly vulnerable to developing chronic pain patterns.

Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system physiology, and her experience as a neural retraining specialist, Madeleine explains how the same areas of the brain process emotional and physical pain—and how women’s larger limbic systems, combined with cultural expectations and caretaking roles, can place them at increased risk.

You’ll learn why women are often the emotional “shock absorbers” in families and society, how modern life asks women to both care and perform, and why patterns like perfectionism, over-responsibility, people-pleasing, and self-denial can keep the nervous system in a chronic stress response.

This episode offers a compassionate, validating perspective for women who have tried everything and are still in pain—and introduces how subconscious neural retraining can help update the patterns that keep the body stuck.

This is not about blaming women for their pain, but about understanding the deeper patterns that shape it and opening the door to healing.
