If you're successful on paper but running on adrenaline behind the scenes, this episode will land. In this Legacy Series conversation, I sit down with Robina Abramson Walling, board-certified health and life coach and doctoral candidate in natural medicine, to talk about what's actually happening in the bodies of high-achieving women. We break down why so many ambitious women lose their edge, struggle with energy, focus, hormones, and confidence, and why pushing harder is often the worst possible response. This episode bridges science, energy, and leadership in a grounded way, without fear-based hormone narratives or surface-level mindset advice. In this episode, we cover: What chronic stress actually does to the nervous system and hormones Why burnout often shows up as high-functioning depression How energy dysregulation impacts leadership capacity Why perimenopause is misunderstood and over-pathologized How the Regulated CEO leads without sacrificing herself This is for the woman who knows her next level won't be built on pressure, hustle, or adrenaline.

Send us a textUnderstanding Israel Palestine: Beyond the Walls – The Oligarchs, The Spies, and The Grand Bargain that Sold Out the Palestinians and the United States Host: Jeremy Rothe-Kushel Guests: Seth Abramson (Proof), Richard Silverstein (Tikun Olam)Episode Summary: For this episode, I feature segments of 2 interviews from the last half of 2020 with public interest writers & analysts Seth Abramson and Richard Silverstein, both quite prescient in their insights into the current geopolitical crisis surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, most glaring in the international relational faultlines constructed amongst the United States & the Middle East, especially the Israeli security state and its Emirati and Saudi state partners, directly tied to the geopolitical collusion to attack American elections while selling out the Palestinians, and the role of Russian sphere Kremlin-associated oligarchs, some publicly defended from sanctions by Israeli officials, in sponsoring the escalation of Israeli settler politics bent on ethnically cleansing the Palestinian people.Government officials and the media largely told us that the 2016 election interference was just about Russian "troll farms." They lied by omission. In this explosive episode of Understanding Israel Palestine: Beyond the Walls, we tear down the firewall between "Russiagate" and the Middle East to reveal the true geopolitical architecture of the Trump era.We go deep with Seth Abramson, author of the Proof trilogy, to decode the Senate Intelligence Committee's massive Volume 5 report. Abramson exposes what the Mueller Report ignored: the "Grand Bargain" between the Trump campaign, Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. We track the fingerprints of Israeli cyber-intelligence mercenaries like Psy-Group and Joel Zamel, the shadowy role of George Nader, and the August 2016 Trump Tower meeting that cemented an alliance of autocrats against democracy and Palestinian rights.Then, we pivot to the money trail with security journalist Richard Silverstein. Breaking down the FinCEN files, Silverstein reveals how Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich funneled over $100 million into Elad, the settler organization aggressively "Judaizing" East Jerusalem. We discuss how dirty money from the post-Soviet sphere is being laundered into the ethnic cleansing of Silwan, turning the biblical "City of David" into a weapon of displacement.This is the deep politics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict—where intelligence operations, oligarchic wealth, and settler ideology collide to sell out the Palestinian people and compromise the American republic.Featured Guests:Seth Abramson [PROOF]: https://www.sethabramson.net Richard Silverstein [TIKUN OLAM]: https://www.richardsilverstein.comHost/Producer: Jeremy Rothe-Kushel [BEYOND THE WALLS]: https://beyondthewalls.substack.com
