Your Well Life by Misha Vayner
Your Well Life is where modern motherhood meets holistic health, healing, and real conversation.
Hosted by Misha Vayner—mom of three, trauma-informed holistic health and life mentor, and former NYC fashion exec—this podcast brings you empowering, perspective-shifting episodes to help you feel more energized in your body, more confident and clear in your mind, grounded in your spirit, and genuinely fulfilled in your life.
After hitting rock bottom in her own health, identity, and sense of self, Misha discovered a radically different way of healing—one rooted in trauma-informed, whole-person wellness that changed everything. Since then, she’s helped countless women reclaim their energy, alignment, and joy through nervous system healing, deep self-return, and lifestyle shifts that actually change the game.
Now, she’s sharing those powerful insights and lived tools to support you in creating a life that feels aligned, nourishing, and fully your own—because wellness shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job.
Each week, you’ll hear:
- Relatable solo episodes that feel like a heart-to-heart with your smartest, sassiest mama bestie
- Honest and insightful Conversations with experts on holistic health, motherhood, hormones, trauma, relationships, identity, purpose, and self-expression
- Practical tools, takeaways and perspective shifts to support your whole health and help you feel more lit up in your daily life
It’s the wellness conversation you actually want to have: honest, useful, a little edgy, and always rooted in real life. (Think Sex and the City meets nervous system healing—with a few Bravo references, obviously.)

#21: Healing from Chronic Illness to Self-Love & Thriving with Nitika Chopra
Healing Chronic Illness, Self-Abandonment & Coming Home to Yourself
The moment I stumbled across Nitika Chopra’s Truth Talks column on Substack, I was instantly pulled in. Her courageous vulnerability stood out in a space that often feels filtered and performative. I was immediately curious: what’s the root of this kind of strength, clarity, and embodied self-love?
I discovered that Nitika had spent years navigating life with multiple chronic illnesses — including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and myasthenia gravis — all while trying to find answers inside a broken medical system.
Her healing journey wasn’t linear or shiny — it was layered, painful, and, as she says, a pilgrimage. One that led her back home to herself.
Since then, Nitika has built a life and career grounded in radical self-trust, authenticity, and purpose. She’s:
- The founder of Chronicon, a movement and event series centering people with chronic illness
- The creator of The Chronicon Foundation, which expands access and equity in healthcare and wellness
- A powerful writer and storyteller, sharing deeply on her Substack Truth Talks
- A mentor and guide to others navigating healing through her Life Mastery Incubator
In this powerful conversation, we explore:
- The emotional and spiritual toll of living with chronic illness
- How grief, shame, and emotional abandonment shaped Nitika’s early identity
- Her journey through codependency, misalignment, and self-abandonment
- The practices that helped her reclaim her body, voice, and boundaries
- Why ancestral healing, nervous system work, and self-belonging were keys to her recovery
- The difference between authentic sharing and overexposing yourself online
