Are you a high-achieving professional woman or entrepreneur who feels like you are standing in your own way?. You might be telling yourself the story that you don’t need to heal because your past wasn’t “bad enough” to count as trauma.

But if you find yourself trapped in a cycle of perfectionism, control, and people-pleasing, your nervous system is revealing the truth.

In this motivational and relatable episode of The Story I’m Telling Myself, you will discover:

• The Science of "Nervous System on Fire": Learn why high achievers often live in a state of constant high alert, cycling through fight, flight, freeze, or "fawn" (people-pleasing).
• The Truth About "Discounted Trauma": Robyn explores the internal narrative of believing your experiences weren't "bad enough" compared to others and why acknowledging your hurt is the first step to true healing.
• Breaking the Generational Curse: Understand how maternal anxiety and a dysregulated nervous system can create a "vicious cycle" that impacts your children.
• Rewiring Your Brain for Calm: Discover how your mind can control your brain to grow new neural pathways and move you from "emotional chaos" to a thriving life and career.
• Practical Tools for Resilience: Robyn shares the neuroscience behind a gratitude practice, explaining how identifying three things daily activates the prefrontal cortex to enhance creativity and executive functioning.

Why Professional Women and Managers Need to Listen: Manager burnout is at an all-time high, often driven by the simultaneous pressure to please bosses, please teams, and maintain perfect control. Robyn identifies the "alarm bells" of dysregulation, such as overreacting to small requests, chronic physical pain, and the inability to sleep.

Whether you are navigating a career transition or struggling with self-doubt, this conversation offers the practical tips and inspiration needed to rewrite your narrative and create the life you truly desire.
