The Journey

There Is Another Way

the wheel of suffering

Hello, sweet friend. Love and hugs I send to you on this day. It’s a gift to have friends to share the heart space with, don’t you think? Thank you for being here. I’ve been thinking about the way we carry people who’ve upset us. We can feel disappointed, or let down, unseen, not supported. It can be a regular thing to think about the situation on a repeating loop and the effects of this on the body and general mood are quite difficult to bear. There is another way to see this though. It requires a strength I know… …Read More »

Broken, but Better

As a kid, I often felt helpless and unsafe around the people who were supposed to love me the most. I was at the mercy of their fluctuating moods and addictions. The experience of not being cherished or wanted was ongoing and relentless. My personal work today is sitting with how that wounding gets tweaked now as I meet people who resemble the cast of characters from childhood–the ones who seem unsafe, wildly fluctuating in their moods, addicted, and unable to cherish or respect me. On each of our paths, situations will arise where the patterns are repeated. Do not… …Read More »

Sometimes, Life Opens Us like a Flower

life opens us like a flower

Sometimes, life opens us like a flower. Usually, it’s in response to something we’ve been praying for. Something we’ve been working so hard to open up on the inside; something we’ve cried and cried about because we just cannot find the effing doorway. We can’t find it, and we can’t find it, and we can’t find it.   And then suddenly we are opened up. And when it happens, it is so wild, so radical, so moving… for a moment all you can do is stand there stunned. There are strange ripples in your body, flutters and pounding, excitement and… …Read More »

We’re Moving Through These Levels of Suckitude and It’s Not as Bad as We Thought It Would Be // Tea With Robin Episode 154

On a healing journey, we often find that there can be an intensity experienced when moving through old energies and releasing them. I call it suckitude. We are moving through the suckitude… and often it feels hard and challenging. But in the bigger picture, we are moving through. Maybe, hopefully, we are finding out as we make our way that it’s not as bad as we once feared it would be. This conversation today is about the personal journey we’re on — the emotional one, the codependent journey we’re healing from, and then also our experience of being in the… …Read More »

You Are Not a Problem // Tea with Robin Episode 144

You are a person on the journey who had experiences that left you changed. What if you didn’t see yourself as a problem? You are not a problem. Calling yourself a problem is to deny your needs. When we act like we don’t have needs around our wounding we are in denial. No wonder there is suffering. No wonder we struggle. Learn to love the one in you who was hurt and you’ll get yourself free. What I see is we keep getting into the same familiar situations that we went through as kids. Difficult scenarios. How many more times… …Read More »

If You’re Someone Who Cares Deeply // Tea with Robin Episode 143

If you are someone who cares deeply, you probably know what it’s like to be caught in the swirl of thinking and emotion when upsetting things are happening. You probably know what it’s like to not sleep well because a part of you feels upset, worried. You’re not like everyone else and that’s a good thing. Never forget, you’re in great company. Consider all the people you admire, the ones who’ve been role models to you. They’ve probably been called the same things, but you admire and appreciate them for exactly that trait. If people hint that you’re different, weird, challenging,… …Read More »
