The Journey

When you’re worried, or upset, or unable to focus, or triggered…

Hello, sweet friend, I am listening to James Taylor tell me he is the Handy Man and sipping a cuppa yum yum. I can hear birdies and a lawnmower and the bubbling of my little fountain outside. This moment right here and now is perfect. Here is the main thing that I wanna say… to myself today. And also to you because, friends on the journey. STAY IN YOUR CENTER. I guess that needs to be shouty sometimes, you know? We make ourselves crazy with worry and anxiety when we don’t. JUST BECAUSE IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE, IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU GET… …Read More »

Sometimes, your good intentions are going to go wrong. Either someone you care about will feel misunderstood by what you said or did, or you’ll do something completely stupid outright (if you’re like me, you will only realize that in hindsight). Hurt feelings. Upset stomachs. You are going to screw it up from time to time. It’s okay. You are still a good person. Here’s what you can do to recover from the situation. Consider the other person Put yourself in their shoes and consider how it might feel. This will humanize your whole experience rather than leave you acting… …Read More »

What to Do When You’re Upset

People Who Treat You Badly and What to Do About It

Wow, are there ever times when life brings us some crap! I don’t really know anyone who greets the upset that comes our way with glee, most of us run the other way. It can sure feel challenging to manage the vibes when they come. When you get upset, do you make space for what is happening? Are you able to allow life to happen as it does, even when you had other plans? Or are you someone who pushes on with getting stuff done… even when you’re feeling anxious and you might not be sleeping well? So many of… …Read More »

Honoring what is (vs. pushing the plan)

honoring what is

I woke up this morning with my goals in mind Meditate, do my practices, eat yummy breakfast, take a walk, work a little in the garden and then write this week’s post (I was going to tell you about the wildest miracle manifesting story I have ever experienced firsthand), then see some awesome clients in the afternoon, and then dinner with my husband. Fun day, full day, packed day, busy day. No time for deviations – just stick to the plan day. And then I got the email. A very special and dear-to-me mentor is dying. She made the decision… …Read More »

It’s Ok If It Wasn’t Good, You Can Stop Pretending

It’s OK If It Wasn’t Good. It’s OK to Stop Pretending.

originally published June, 2017 My mother’s funeral. The thing I remember most was my near-constant desire to lunge at the microphone WWF style and shout something very un-eulogy like. All of the people there, these “close, special friends,” most of whom I did not know at all inside this massive church, telling me how my mother was THEEEE MOST wonderful woman in the world. And then they’d gush about how she’d light up whenever she spoke about me. How proud she was! Loved me so much! Light of her world! I wanted to punch them in the face. Right there… …Read More »

Rescuer, Caretaker, People Pleaser (Healing Insights)

Most of us have an inner super-hero, lurking in the shadows just waiting to save the day. It’s a job we do well–one that began with us trying to fit into our family system as kids. We learned that in order to be of value to those around us, we needed to provide a service or give assistance of some kind. Solving the problems of other people often kept the peace. If we could help make it better somehow, life at home went more smoothly. For some of us, it was about behaving a certain way in order to stay… …Read More »

What Does Healthy Mirroring Look Like? Receiving Help for Yourself and Why That’s Okay // Tea with Robin Episode 107

It blows my mind sometimes how distorted our thinking is around receiving help. Many of us grew up blaming ourselves for the lack/failure/brokenness around us and carry shame to this day about admitting to our own needs. In this episode, I share some love on what it’s like to receive from a clear or healthy mirror. I talk about my own journey being the client in the healing room and share some insider stories I’ve lived. Plus, I share some beautiful books that have helped me on the journey and even have some from #1husband. Our letter comes from a… …Read More »

On Healing Our Religious-Icky

Healing the Religious Icky

Many of us left childhood with some seriously warped understandings about God. It’s hard when the early teachings of our little selves bump up against the infinite and timeless beings we actually are. A spiritual practice is going to bring these bumps along for healing on your journey to wholeness and it’s important you allow yourself to heal the “religious-icky” (that’s what I call it) you may be carrying. We often find a curiosity at first about how this spirituality thing goes together with the limitations of our early religious upbringing. We worry yes, but we’re also curious, spurred by… …Read More »

Dealing with Difficult People // Tea with Robin Podcast Episode 60

In the years I’ve been offering healing sessions, I can’t think of a single person who hasn’t come to me at some point in our work together to talk about the difficult person in their life. Dealing with difficult people can be challenging but it is not impossible. One of the first things we need to do is admit to our feelings. And that might seem simple, but really I find people don’t like to admit to their feelings because they’re afraid. They’re afraid of the person and afraid of the situation. Something unreasonable is happening on the outside and… …Read More »
