Robin’s Story

Robin, how long have you been doing what you do and how did you become the LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery Coach? To answer this question, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment that brought me to where I am today – mentoring people like you on exactly what to do to expand their horizons, increase their self knowledge and create fulfilling lives for themselves again. That defining moment in my life happened in 2000. Several months earlier, I was dating a guy that at first blush seemed sexy, charismatic and adventurous. I had been a single mom for 18 years, raising my daughter, who was now away at college. Always the breadwinner, I'd had a career I loved in magazine advertising, working with art galleries, hotels, and restaurants. The industry was changing from print advertising to digital media, and the stable business that I once had was now slipping away. Along the way, I found other ways to connect with people and began studying Reiki energy healing, breathwork and coaching. I loved the life I'd created with my daughter; our beautiful home and our close-knit relationship. Little did I know that this new guy in my life would try to blow up everything we had. The lease on his apartment was running out, and at the time we seemed to be getting along well, so I invited him to move in with me. But what seemed like overnight, everything changed. Suddenly, his awful destructive behavior had nowhere else to play out but right under my nose. He became controlling - wanting to know where I was every second. If I visited my daughter at school or we had our usual "girls getaways”, he would call all the time. His need to be the center of attention was overwhelming.

Then he started bad mouthing her, trying to tear us apart. He also had this horrible habit of waking up at 5 a.m. in a tirade - distraught, chaotic and abusive - which would start our days in an emotional tizzy. One morning, I said to myself, if he wakes up one more morning at 5 a.m. and goes into this rant - I'm asking him to leave and I'm done. Sure enough, 5 a.m. comes, and I'm jolted awake. He was raging again. All I kept saying to myself was: “How did my life end up like this?! How did I end up letting this man tear apart my amazing relationship with my daughter, being controlled and verbally abused in my own home? How will I get him out of my house and my life? What do I need to do to break free and get back to being the strong, independent woman I know myself to be?” I made a decision right then and there that I was going to figure out this whole "loving my life thing", going for what I really want No Matter What! That was the moment I made a commitment to immerse myself in absolutely everything that had to do with living my life by design and not default. I wanted a fabulous relationship with a partner AND with my daughter, I wanted a fulfilling career, and I was going to find a way to have a life I truly loved. 

I'd always been intrigued by the world of esoteric knowledge and alternative healing, so I studied several types of energy healing. After that destructive relationship, my energy sure needed healing, and I wanted to be able to help others too. I became a Reiki master and set up a practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After doing the deep inner work to heal myself, I was able to attract a lovely, handsome, creative and kind man who I eventually married. Some things were really getting on track. And although I thought I understood the principles of "you create your own reality", and I was doing something I loved, I still hadn't managed to create the income I wanted. I was still having to work a day job just to pay bills while I managed my practice more like a hobby. This was not what I had in mind when I first set out to be my own boss, so I meditated and prayed for guidance. That's when I was shown a chance to become a life coach. I signed up and completed a certification program, which deepened my understanding of how to align with higher Self/Universe and open the door to true self knowledge. The money was still only trickling in, but I trusted my purpose and stayed the course. 

My first clients were really awesome – men and women who were ideal for me and vice versa – so I was attracting the right fit for my business. The problem was, deep down I was still questioning whether I really could have a life I loved, and the money still just kept trickling in. I was doing a lot of free sessions and I felt very uncomfortable actually charging what my services were worth. I was having to work really hard just to pay a mortgage. WAY TOO HARD! I realized I had to break through my own limiting beliefs. Deep seated beliefs about scarcity and self-worth and take a large dose of my own medicine. You know, the good stuff I was giving away to my clients, practically for free! And it worked. I set my intentions, practiced aligning with Source/Universe, listened for higher guidance and took inspired action steps. That is when my practice began to fill with clients who were ideal for me, and could afford my services. So what are these inspired steps? Well, they'll be different for each person, but for me I had to clean up my thinking and be the person I want to see in this world right NOW. Loving Life. Living and creating as a heart-centered entrepreneur. Believing in myself 100% of the time. No exceptions. My income went from less than enough to pay the bills to just enough and then more than enough to live the life I truly desired. As I mentioned earlier, this will be different for everyone, but once we learn to trust life and let go of self-sabotaging beliefs, we will never look back. 

This is how the wind began to fill my sails. I love working with my clients - men and women who want more, know they are capable of creating more, but are struggling with getting out of their own way. I get to witness, support, guide and applaud them as they experience the expansion of opportunity and possibility in their lives, as their self-confidence grows, as clarity, deep wisdom and intuition emerges and the energy they have for creating audacious outcomes flows like never before. I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other small business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives and spiritual seekers, to break through their inner blocks, increase their happiness and havingness, and achieve the "more" they want in their lives. To enjoy the FREEDOM to make the most of every minute, and having FUN in the doing of that. I’ve worked with many private clients, run numerous workshops and launched a monthly women's empowerment and success gathering in the Twin Cities. I am enjoying amazing relationships with my husband, two daughters and sons-in-law, a son and two adorable grandchildren. I've traveled to Europe, Mexico and around the USA while earning an income with my online business. 

My most popular coaching program is called LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery, a series of transformational sessions to get you aligned for success, joy, and freedom, however that looks for you. This program is a must do for anyone who is ready to transform their relationship with life in order to thrive both personally AND professionally like never before. Each session will support you in once and for all getting UNSTUCK and out of your own way so you can and embrace a life filled with energy, freedom and fun. You CAN have a life you LOVE. 

Who are my clients? People who don't yet know how they can live the fulfilled and satisfying life they truly want. People who are feeling stuck and disheartened. Maybe it's their work, their health, their relationships or their self-value. I work with men and women who are growing or expanding a business and are ready to overcome the fear that is keeping them small and below their potential - people who are in transition, personally or professionally. Maybe it's a move, a divorce, a lost job, or a challenging health journey. My clients are people who are caught in a struggle with life and either don’t know or don’t trust their inner guidance to give them the answers they need. 

What makes me different from other Life Coaches? Although sometimes we'll be using tools and techniques that other coaches would (things like time management, defining goals and the like), you have me as an energy healer expert and transformational trailblazer. I work on the inner and outer principles for success and look at your particular goals and dreams from a pragmatic and a spiritual perspective. What that means is you get a wise-woman-sage-goddess meets power-planner-down-to-earth transformational coach. As I heard someone say recently, "feet on the ground and head in the cosmos." A match made in Heaven on Earth. I blend my spiritual and wholehearted perspective with a grounded approach to support you in getting things done right here on the earth plane. All the while celebrating your courage and commitment. It isn’t always easy, but there is nothing more worthwhile than a life well lived. I'm focused on your goals and intentions and just how to best support you in getting out of your own way. It's because of this that you may not always like what I tell you – but you can be sure I will always tell you the truth. The truth about what is standing in the way of your success and how to shift it so you can start getting results in record time, and I'll be throwing in a healthy dose of humor, because that always helps! 

What type of personality do you work best with and what is expected of me? The LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery program was created for people who are absolutely excited and single-minded about living a life they truly LOVE and getting off the hamster wheel of dead ends. It means letting go of limiting beliefs and old, obsolete stories that can run endlessly in the head and keep you cut off from joy, abundance, creativity, and freedom. It means never again saying "I don't have enough to offer", or "Who am I to....?" This program was created for you to develop and sustain new habits and skill-sets within a few months (sometimes weeks!) which will lead you to more confidence, authenticity, prosperity, self-love, and satisfaction. Your power to attract the people, experiences, and outcomes you want will be supercharged, and you will be able to use these skills over and over again. Being a person who has experienced and knows what it means to suffer from low self-worth and a scarcity mindset, I work best with others struggling with self-worth, self-trust and prosperity issues. I get you, and I understand what it takes to break the failure habit and commit to success no matter what. I'm committed to helping you get out of fear, uncertainty, and procrastination. To become super-ready to get going knowing exactly what steps to take to live a life you LOVE! This is a high-octane NO EXCUSES program that delivers everything you need to get unstuck and bring your passion into form. You will be expected to take serious and consistent action, and embrace a very different way of thinking, feeling and showing up. And I will fully support you every step of the way as you achieve this very exciting goal of unlimited possibilities and unending joy. 

For what type of people are my programs NOT going to work? Please know - I am very selective about with whom I choose to work. I do reserve the right to respectfully decline working with anyone I feel is not ready or suited for the rigors of the program at this time. A wrong fit in coaching will not lead to the outcomes you deserve. The LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery coaching program is NOT for those who have no money coming in, and are absolutely financially desperate. It has been my experience that people in financial crises do not trust the recommendations I give and do not do the work (probably because they are overwhelmed with worry about how to pay next month's rent or car payment). If you fall within this category, I get it. We've all been in times of financial crisis at one point or another. Here is the best thing you can do for yourself right now: Get some money coming in with a full or part time job. Then, when you've taken the edge off and provided yourself a little more peace of mind, you are welcome to call me. Mostly, you will have de-stressed your mind and heart enough to focus and commit to the Mindset Mastery coaching assignments and the BIG picture. I'll be there when you are ready, so when the time is right, call on me. Some other types I will not work with are: 

1. People who consistently don’t take responsibility for their actions and instead look for others to whom they can assign blame.

2. People who always have an excuse for why they didn't get their assignments done.

3. People who are adversarial and skeptical about everything in the program.

For those of you who see yourself in any of the above categories, I can tell you we will

not be a good fit. You will be much better served to find a different coach. I trust you

understand and I wish you all the success on your journey. 

What exactly is the LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery system and what does it include? 

The LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery system encompasses these 9 key principles:

● Get crystal clear about what you want

We will explore your big audacious dream, the outcome you want to create, from the inside - the how, what, when, who and why of it. What it feels like to live that dream full-blown, right NOW. Getting clarity about where you are now is pivotal to getting to where you want to be. Like using GPS, we will identify your best route forward.

● What's in your way?

Together, we will unearth the obstacles that are blocking your path to true happiness and making that dream real in your life. This is where the buried treasure gets hidden under limiting and obsolete thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

● Cultivating a right mindset

In a safe and supportive coach to client environment, we will work on opening those inner doors and windows that will allow flow to be present in your everyday life, and make it possible to align with and attract your audacious goal. You will learn how to notice when you are or are not in flow, and be able to choose your direction with intention. Mindset is more than half of the journey.

● Did I Say That?!?

It's amazing just how hard on ourselves we can often be. In this program you will learn how to clean up your “inner speech'' and develop more positive and successful language. Thoughts create feelings, which create beliefs, which create outcomes. If you want great outcomes, you must own your words.

● Creating Powerful Intentions that lead to inspired actions.

Life transformation is an inside job. Your answers are already in there. Getting out of the “I Don't Know” mind and confidently identifying what you intend is pivotal. Our work together will focus on finding the inner vault in which your intentions are locked away, and using the right key to access this treasure. Your intentions, in alignment with your goals, are the roadmap to your dreams.

● The “Toolbox”

You will learn and practice step-by-step methods, processes, and techniques to enhance and support you in sustaining your new and positive mindset. You'll develop a foolproof strategy to notice when you are in or out of alignment with your goal, and you'll have the tools to adjust in minutes. Life is a journey – so go prepared.

● Keep Yourself Accountable

Anyone can stay on a diet for a day. Some can even do it for a week, or two. Few can actually make it a lifestyle change without a reliable accountability partner. Once you have made this new mindset a habit, you will be able to sustain it on your own. However, while you lay the tracks for your new beliefs and behaviors to run upon, I will be there for you. Every step of the way, to see and celebrate you getting it right, to honor your journey, to offer help and guidance whenever you need it.

● Cultivating Resilience

What happens when life throws a curveball? Will you sink or swim? You will learn how to enhance your resiliency. At the end of this program, you will understand numerous ways to bounce back under pressure, to be flexible in the winds of change and appreciate where you are while moving ever closer to where you want to be. I’ve been there and back again, and so can you!

● Celebrate!

It is my sincere belief that the purpose of life, why we are here in the first place, is to grow, evolve and celebrate! Each day, we work our to-do lists completing one thing after another, often not even looking up to take a break and breathe, smile, or look at the beauty that is this day. When you start noticing what is going right and finding ways to celebrate, life will become so much sweeter. It's not just the monumental things, it’s all the good things. Life is a smorgasbord of joy. Let yourself delight in it, and more of the same will be dished up for you.

Does this really work? Yes! Our work together will shift your mindset bringing you the confidence and clarity you crave. You can read about the amazing transformations my clients have experienced by visiting the Testimonials page on my website

Can I contact some of your former clients to see what it's like to work with you? Feel free to go to the client testimonials page and read all of them. My coaching code of ethics includes a high degree of respect for the privacy of my clients, so I do not make their emails available to the public. However, should you want to speak to any of them, please let me know and I will see what I can do to put you in touch. 

How quickly can I expect results? That will depend on how quickly you can make those inner shifts. Some clients come to the work with a higher degree of readiness than others. That being said, I usually see preliminary results showing up in as little as 2-3 months, and many are experiencing sustainable change within 6 months. Like any habit, your current ways of thinking and believing have been practiced for a long time. It will take dedication and perseverance to root into these new habits and have them continuously bearing fruit. 

How can I guarantee myself that I will achieve my goals in record time? Show up on time and ready to go. Set your intentions to succeed. Do all of the homework. Understand that this is a process and the key to your success is in your hands. Own it! All of my clients who diligently applied the processes, tools and techniques in the LOVE Your Life Mindset Mastery program are now able to trust their intuition and inner guidance. They believe in themselves and trust that life is on their side. They now find it so much easier to enjoy the success, prosperity, joy and abundance that life offers, and they have the tools to stay out of their own way whenever one of their old patterns tries to creep in.

Based on everything I've read and heard so far, I feel ready to get started. So, what’s the next step? Congratulations! I am so excited to know you are ready to LOVE Your Life! The next step on this journey is for you and I to meet each other through a Discovery call. This is a 30 minute phone conversation where we have a chance to get to know one another and assess whether or not we seem a right fit for working together. We will talk about your situation and what is in the way of your living your best life. At the end of the call, you will have the chance to decide if you are ready to change your situation and are committed to success in this regard. If you choose YES, we will determine a convenient schedule for your personal program. Then, we will handle the financial investment and we will be ready to begin. It’s that simple. 

Here are some of the results you can expect:

● Expand into the unlimited Self-confidence and Self-esteem that is your birthright

● Learn proven techniques for releasing your internal resistance and self-sabotaging tendencies
