The Self-Regulated Woman: Resetting Your Body, Mind, and Business

Are you a high-achieving woman who is "too strong for your own good"? In this powerful episode of Powerful Women Today's 1 Million Woman Challenge, host Dr. Carolina M. Billings welcomes Cheri Petroni, an integrative medicine practitioner and the founder of Oasis to Zen Spa. Together, they dive into what it truly means to be a self-regulated woman and why moving from "coping" to "choosing" is the ultimate act of leadership. Cheri breaks down the science of the nervous system, exploring how childhood patterns and the pressure of "doing one more thing" can lead to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and burnout. This isn't just about discipline—it's about learning the "body language" of regulation to reclaim your emotional and financial independence.
