Episode Details

Robin lived with dizziness, brain zaps, visual disturbances, panic attacks, and crushing fear for many years — hitting hardest at 46 during menopause. In this powerful success story interview, she shares her full journey from feeling like she was having a stroke, spending tens of thousands on tests at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, to finally finding relief through understanding neural circuit symptoms. She opens up about her most frightening symptoms — feeling drunk without drinking, swaying sensations, brain zaps, light sensitivity, doom, and the terrifying "this is my life forever" thoughts — and exactly what finally made the difference. Key moments in her recovery:

• Learning to accept sensations in the moment without fighting them
• Continuing to move and live life even when dizzy ("do it dizzy")
• Changing her relationship with symptoms from fear to curiosity
• Working with coach Joella using somatic tracking and deeper stress bucket work
• Navigating ups and downs, symptom drift (neck pain), and menopause triggers
• The power of success stories, community, and not isolating

Robin's message is clear: Recovery is possible no matter how long you've had symptoms — even decades. You are not alone, and it does not have to be this way forever. If you're struggling with PPPD, vestibular migraine, chronic dizziness, visual snow, hyperacusis, post-concussion symptoms, or menopause-related symptoms, this story offers real hope and practical insight.
