Releasing the Drama Patterns You’ve Experienced // Tea with Robin Episode 141

When we tell the broken stories, we remind ourselves that we’re broken. The trouble with keeping that awareness going is that it continues to align us with the powerlessness we felt. These energies need to clear if we want to proceed in our truth. Releasing the drama patterns you’ve experienced is what will get you free. In this episode, I talk about how we got here and how we can get out. I share some of my own stories and experiences working with this too. Are you willing to be honest and truthful about where you are and what you… …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 »

Our Dads Were on a Journey Too

our dads were on a journey too

I was baking cookies when my aunt called to say that my dad had died. She had to repeat herself twice. And the shock of it all was so much that I burned my arm on the oven rack, forgetting to use the oven mitts. I still have the scar along the inside of my forearm. It was Christmas time, and our household was in the midst of Gingerbread House Party preparations. People were coming and this wasn’t supposed to be happening now. I had been calling my dad for over a week, becoming more and more pissed at him… …Read More »

You Are Worthy of Having Time for Yourself // Tea with Robin Episode 137

Be Your Very Own Mama

I am told I give amazing hugs and yet I still cannot comfortably imagine hugging my own mother. The limitations of our relationship were greater than great and eventually there came a time in my journey when I hit a wall which seemed to say, Robin, this is as far as you can go as long as you need your mother to stay “mother” to you. If you continue to need her to be “mother” then forever this is the “daughter” you will remain and the possibilities for your ease and freedom will be very very limited. Staying there at… …Read More »

Let Yourself off the Hook. Do Whatever You Want. Let Go.

Let Yourself off the Hook. Do Whatever You Want. Let Go. How to not lose it when things go wrong.

Or, what to do when you’re in a funk and you can’t make yourself do anything “productive” and you just wanna hang it all up and head for the coast but you’re scared that this will mean the end. I’m drinking coffee and reading Stephen King. The windows are open, I’m listening to crickets and the smell of smell of fresh cut grass fills the kitchen. The yumminess of this takes me back to a time when I had no responsibilities and life felt pretty easy. I take a beat and breathe it in. This doesn’t magically erase my heavy… …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.

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 »
