    Send us Fan Mail Content note: This episode includes vulnerable personal experiences and conversations around trauma and trauma responses that some listeners may find activating. In this deeply personal episode, Robina opens up about a traumatic experience she went through just three days ago. She shares what it can look like to navigate the early stages of trauma and a freeze response, and how she is caring for herself while beginning to process and release the physical impact of stored trauma. Robina unpacks why the freeze response is not simply procrastination or laziness, but a protective mechanism the body uses when stress or overwhelm becomes too much to process. This conversation explores how nervous system dysregulation can keep women feeling stuck, and how healing begins with safety, understanding, and gentleness rather than pressure or self-criticism. In this episode, she discusses: • What freeze mode actually is and why it happens • How freeze can show up as procrastination, exhaustion, or feeling stuck • Her personal experience navigating freeze and nervous system overwhelm • Why pushing harder often leads to more shutdown • What it looks like to gently build safety and begin moving forward again Connect with Robina: • Website: https://routeofhealing.com • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/routeofhealing/ • Personalized Hormone Balance Reset Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/698b478d8ecf7e3441a4c914

    Send us Fan Mail Doing more is often seen as the path to success, but for many high achieving women, it is the very thing leading to burnout.

    1. The Day My Body Said Enough

    Send us Fan Mail High performance can hide dysregulation, but your body always knows. In this debut episode, Robina Abramson-Walling shares the personal story behind The Regulated CEO. She opens up about going from a high achieving nurse, business owner, and mom of four to waking up one day unable to get out of bed. It was the unravelling that changed everything. At first, it seemed like hormones were to blame, but her lab results came back “normal,” so she kept pushing through. In reality, years of nervous system strain had finally caught up to her. She discusses how that breaking point led her to choose regulation over relentless hustle. In this episode, she shares: • Why high achieving women often burn out after long term dysregulation • The subtle signs your body gives when it is asking you to slow down • Her personal experience with depression and reclaiming hope • How emotional trauma can present as physical symptoms • What it looks like to build a business from safety instead of fear If you are successful on paper but exhausted underneath it, this conversation will feel like an exhale.
