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 »

The Seven Major Chakras

the seven major chakras

The first time I was told that I have energy centers in my body called Chakras, I laughed out loud. Then I wondered when they were going to pass the Kool-Aid. And if someone had told me someday I’d be writing a post about the seven major chakras, I’d have called them a kookoo bird. It all seemed like a bunch of woo woo mumbo jumbo to me. But, HA! Here I am writing about them. Even though it took me a while to figure out that chakras are real, I eventually began to love working with them in my… …Read More »

How to be Yourself. You Are Not Just a Good Little Sheepie.

How to Be Yourself. The Story of the Rainbow Colored Unicorn Sheepie.

On how to be yourself and confidently love who you are and break free from of the herd of everyone else. May this go to just the right hearts today. All your life you tried to be the good little sheepie. From the time you were a baby ewe, you tried to fit in with the flock, dutifully doing the things that the other sheepies did. You ate grass. You stayed close to the herd. You perfected your “bah.” You wanted to be good. But sometimes, from the somewhere deep inside (in a place you liked to call Nowhere Land),… …Read More »

Love with a Backbone

Robin Hallett Poetry Collection

I have no interest in adding any more darkness in the world. I will not contribute to the anger, the meanness. I’m not interested in dissonance. Don’t talk to me about all the a*holes who are making things worse for the world. Instead, tell me what YOU are doing to be a force for good. Tell me what you’re doing to contribute something helpful. Love is my dharma and I will practice this wherever I go. In times like these I ask myself the following: Can I keep abreast of what’s happening without participating in the madness? Can I stay… …Read More »

The Fifth Chakra – Everything You Wanted to Know It’s also known as the Throat or Vishuddha chakra Have you ever had a tight throat as you tried to speak your truth?

Bumpy Landings: How to Handle the Transition Times // Tea with Robin Podcast Episode 56

I often wonder if more of us don’t choose to risk doing what we’d love because the fear of the unknown is just too great. I wonder sometimes if this is why I was always too broke or too busy to take the time or make the time… I see that pattern in my friends too. There’s always a really good sounding reason why we can’t. But we owe it to ourselves to ponder, are we really protecting our fear? As I’ve learned to risk my significance and honor the things I want to try, I find there is a… …Read More »

The Stupid Things People Say and How to Be Free of Their Opinions

your way is the right way

Learning to walk away from the stupid things people say and not need their good opinions of me has been a huge challenge on my journey. There are times when I get caught up in feeling hurt and upset, but I disentangle myself again. My recovery time is quicker these days because I remember my practice and I get free. I am learning not to NEED anyone to love me or applaud me or give me their blessing for me to feel permitted to shine and sing my song. But the need is still there. I am learning to recognize… …Read More »

On Thriving and Why It’s so Important to Receive Support // Tea with Robin Podcast Episode 43

I sit for guidance for every person I see in the healing room that day and today’s messages are all about the way we need to allow ourselves to receive help. We need to learn how to let ourselves be supported and to know that it’s okay to admit we need help instead of always having to be the strong one holding it all together. There’s no shame in needing help. There’s no shame in wanting to be supported. In having our needs met, and being helped. We don’t always need to be the strong one. In this episode of… …Read More »

It’s Okay to Have a Bad Day // Tea with Robin Podcast Episode 40

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

There’s nothing wrong with you if you have a bad day. If you feel sad or off sometimes, it’s okay. What the big deal is what we choose to do about it. We are so much more than the stories we tell. We are joy. We are light. We are infinite possibility. And we always have the freedom to go down the tubes with the klinky thinking. Or not. In this episode of Tea with Robin, we’re talking about the ups and downs of everyday life and how to take good care of us. Listen here or wherever you enjoy… …Read More »
