I reached out to Robyn about a comment I had seen her post on fb in a group we are in. I didn't even know what a life coach was. I decided I wanted to start this coaching thing, but I didn't really know how it would go. I know it sounds cliche to say, but the best gift I've given myself in a very long time was to start this journey. For 20 some yrs I have endured a lot of health problems and generational habits/thoughts that I didn't even know I had. For example: the role of the "fixer" or the one everybody calls when they need something. I didn't even think it was an option to not always try to be available. To say "No," and assert any type of personal boundary was considered a sin in my family and even part of the culture I was raised in.
As time continued on, I had become overwhelmed by taking on too much and became very ill. I know now that my body was making me take the rest I wasn't making a choice myself to take. I can remember times of being in the icu and my phone ringing and instead of the "I'm sorry your sick, get some rest!" I got the "I know your sick, but can you call so and so for me? That's something you can do for me, right?" I used to joke that I couldn't even die in peace, because somebody would still be calling me.
Life had become so upsetting and difficult to live and I thought I had no way of changing that. This was how I thought, and peoples actions really felt heavy AGAINST me. Intuitively I knew people were taking advantage of me... but I didn't know if I could think it wasn't right. After several months of life coaching I now see that life has it's trials, and I still have illnesses, but all along, I had choices and the ultimate control of my life.
Little by little with Robyn's help I started learning about healthy boundaries, creating positive thought patterns and realizing that I truly could do things and feel peace I never thought I would be able to. With these small changes, in small steps at a time, I now have felt a huge victory.

My life is so very different now. The pressure I constantly felt to have to fix everything, and being constantly available or even being mistreated by family members has stopped. I now can be in control of what I allow to happen. I don't have to feel guilty if I say "no". I don't have to feel obligated to save and help everyone. I know that the actions to make these changes have been through myself, but I know that if I didn't have Robyn coaching me through every step of the way I would still be so lost and would have given up on changing. I wouldn't have any hope or peace in sight. I am so grateful that she shares my values and beliefs and she teaches me one step at a time so I can be the very best person I have set out to be and reach the goals I want to achieve in my life. I honestly am 100 percent grateful to be able to have this guidance.

One of the major things I have really appreciated for my personality, is not having someone be overbearing or getting after me in a condescending way. It has been all uplifting, gentle correction and empowering ideas, the whole way through. I am very excited for my future and I now know that I'm not alone in my journey and that I can achieve great goals and have a wonderful quality of life. More...
