Ever hit those moments where life feels heavy, stuck, or just blah? I get it. We all do. But what if I told you there's a simple way to shift your mindset and turn those days around—without trying to change everything at once? In this episode I’m diving into a powerful tool I learned from my friend and client, Alice Hong. It's a question that, when used consistently, can transform any moment—big or small—by just 1%. And trust me, 1% is all it takes to start feeling more aligned, more in control, and more you in your life and business. Remember, friend! Everything we do here is about progress > perfection. In The Brand Is You, I’m always talking about making small, intentional shifts to create a bigger impact—and this question is exactly that. It’s a simple yet transformative tool that aligns perfectly with how I teach you to build a brand that speaks to who you truly are. Tune in to hear how this little question can make your day (and your brand) 1% better. You won’t want to miss it! Robyn

In this final part of our three-part series, we dive deep into the creative cycle that so many of us experience but rarely talk about—the ups, the downs, and the moments of clarity that emerge when we least expect them.  This episode is all about honoring each stage of the creative process and learning to let go, embrace the pauses, and trust that clarity will find its way back. Here’s what we explore together: The Season of Reclamation: How stepping away and reconnecting with myself rekindled my passion for business and brand building. The Power of Pause: The unexpected impact of letting go and allowing space for clarity to return—without hustle or grinding. Lessons from the Creative Cycle: Recognizing the stages of inspiration, challenge, and clarity in entrepreneurship, and learning how to flow with them instead of forcing progress. The Magic of Storytelling: How sharing my story authentically allowed me to reconnect with my audience and build my brand from a place of genuine power. A New Direction: Discover the exciting shift toward in-person connections, retreats, and events, born out of a desire for deeper, more impactful interactions. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your work or struggled to find inspiration, this episode is a reminder that breakthroughs often come when we least expect them—and that our biggest growth sometimes comes from simply letting go.

After a year that completely knocked me off my feet—miscarriage, family health scares, and some seriously rocky moments in my marriage—I had totally lost connection with myself. I needed to find my way back to ME. So I packed up my daughters and took them on the solo adventure of a lifetime, exploring the wild and oh-so-beautiful British Columbia. But here’s the twist: this wasn’t just a family trip—it was a complete reset. For the first time in over 10 years, I deleted the Instagram app and went completely offline. No scrolling, no work, no notifications, no alarms! Just me, my girls, and the open road. In this episode, I’m sharing how this trip reawakened parts of me that I hadn’t connected with in years. From navigating terrifying mountain passes without GPS (yes, really) to learning how to fish and setting up camp in torrential rain--this experience pushed me to let go of control, trust my instincts, and rediscover the strength and independence I’d lost along the way. And it wasn’t just a physical adventure—it was an emotional one too. I learned how my daughters see me in ways I never realized, and that I’m way more capable of leading my life and business with power and purpose than I ever gave myself credit for. In this episode, you’ll hear: What truly happened when I went completely offline for two weeks (and why it was both terrifying and freeing) The unexpected, messy moments I faced without my usual support systems—and the surprising breakthroughs they created How this solo trip sparked the inspiration and clarity I had been searching for (but didn’t expect to find) How stepping into my power on this adventure reignited my passion for my business and life in ways I never saw coming This episode is for anyone who feels lost, disconnected, or unsure of where to turn next. If you’ve been craving a reset or the chance to reconnect with yourself, this story will inspire you to take that first step—whether it’s hitting pause, unplugging, or stepping into something bold.

Welcome back to The Brand Is You podcast, where today, I’m taking you behind-the-scenes into my life--GULP! --and opening up about many personal stories from the past year that I haven't been ready to share until now. This episode is the first of a powerful three-part series filled with deep personal struggles, heartbreak, and a whole lot of growth. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered story of how I rebuilt my life and (eventually) my business, after hitting rock bottom, multiple times . From navigating the pain of miscarriage to facing marriage struggles that nearly ended in divorce, and dealing with my grandmother’s cancer diagnosis...let's just say that this year was one that tested me in every way imaginable  But thanks to hundreds of hours journaling, many therapies, friends, family, and a full surrender to the ugly unraveling-- I found resilience, healing, and a new way forward. If you’ve ever felt like the weight of life is too heavy to carry while running a business, or like the personal and professional sides of you are in constant conflict trying to "figure it all out", this episode is for you. I hope that this conversation reminds you that even in life's hardest moments, it *is* possible to keep returning to who YOU are. I know it can feel impossible. I was there, too.  What you’ll hear in this episode: How I navigated the emotional toll of miscarriage and what it taught me about surrender and trust. The truth behind my marriage struggles and the hard conversations that almost ended it all--and led to more love than I ever believed possible for my relationship.  My experience with family heartbreak, supporting my grandmother through cancer, and the surprising healing that followed. Why I had to completely pause and rebuild my business, despite having reached financial success.  The lessons I learned about showing up authentically in business while honoring the messy, human side of life. This is me, unfiltered—sharing the parts of my journey that didn’t make it to Instagram. I hope that you’ll see parts of yourself in these stories that remind you that you are not (ever) alone. Tune in now, and don’t forget to subscribe—this is just Part 1 of the series! In the next episode, I’ll dive into what I learned on a 10 day solo camping trip with my daughters, the experience of going offline as an online business owner, and what happened when I completely "let go" of my income goals!  This is the real deal. This is me! And I am here to invite you in.  Trigger Warning: This episode discusses miscarriage, cancer, and marriage struggles.
