Why Pain Lingers— And What to Do About It with Jen Schwartz Uschold

Sis, this one is for the woman who's been told to “just live with the pain.”

The one who’s tried everything—from stretches to scans to surgery—but still wakes up with that familiar ache, wondering if she’ll ever feel like herself again.

In this episode, we sit down with Jen Uschold, a physical therapist with over 30 years of experience, a Fellow of Pain Science, and the visionary behind the Pain2Gain movement. Jen is on a mission to change the narrative around chronic pain—and it starts by treating the person, not the symptom.

Through her signature integration of pain neuroscience, positive intelligence, and lifestyle medicine, Jen helps women understand that pain is not a permanent sentence—it’s an invitation into healing, agency, and empowerment.

 In this episode, we explore:

 What pain really is—and why it doesn’t always mean damage
 Why chronic pain often lingers even when nothing is “wrong”
 How Jen combines brain retraining, body awareness, and emotional resilience
 The connection between mental fitness and physical relief
 How to shift from “coping” to healing—with science and soul

Whether your pain is physical, emotional, or both—this episode will show you there is a way forward. You are not broken. And you are not alone.
