E292: Stop Fighting Your Body: The Power of Adaptation, Not Perfection with Dr. Nahal Delpassand

## In this episode: I talk with psychologist Dr. Nahal Delpassand about chronic illness, invisible conditions, and the pressure many high-achieving women feel to constantly push through discomfort. We discuss how to better listen to your body, separate your identity from your health challenges, and shift from always trying to “fix” yourself toward a more balanced and sustainable approach to wellness. Dr. Nahal Delpassand is a licensed psychologist based in Austin, Texas, with nearly a decade of experience in private practice. She has particular expertise in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, disability, and the psychological implications of infertility. Her philosophy is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and the belief that even in times of distress, people carry strengths that can be reactivated for growth and healing. She encourages clients to “pause, reflect, and understand themselves more fully,” creating a therapeutic space for sustainable change. ## Links mentioned during this episode: Dr. Delpassand's book: https://littletreestories.com/ Dr. Delpassand's website: https://www.drnahaldelpassand.com/ Free Initial Consultation with Dr. Megan: https://p.bttr.to/3a9lfYk Lyons' Share Instagram: [www.instagram.com/thelyonsshare](www.instagram.com/thelyonsshare) Join Megan's newsletter: [www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletter](www.thelyonsshare.org/newsletter)
