The Silent (But Functional) Freeze Behind Type A Women
High-achieving, Type A women often look like they’re “holding it all together.” But beneath the Pilates classes, iced coffees, stacks of online shopping, school runs and packed Google Calendars, many of us are silently stuck in functional freeze. This isn’t depression in the way people usually talk about it. It’s the version where you’re still showing up - to work, to motherhood, to relationships - but inside you feel tired, numb, disconnected, exhausted, and unable to fully rest. You pushed too hard, but there’s no time to slow down. Today, with Integrative Health Researcher, Practitioner & biology-of-trauma expert Sarah Murphy, we explore what functional freeze actually is, why Type A women burn through minerals and B vitamins faster - and what that means for energy and resilience, the fine line between “still functioning” and being completely disconnected from yourself and practical ways to start being able to spin those plates with the body saying HELP.
If you’re tired of pushing, crashing, and calling it “normal,” this episode is for you. It will help you understand what is happening inside of your body.
