solid ground coaching
Here to help you find a true source of SOLID GROUND
It’s time you belonged to yourself. If you’re ready to follow that deep-down desire to stop shrinking yourself to suit others and start living true to yourself — this is for you.
IT’S TIME TO FLIP THE SCRIPT—WITH LIFE COACHING THAT EMPOWERS YOU TO CREATE SOLID GROUND FROM WITHIN.
The approval of our family members. Our relationship status. How closely we measure up to society's "ideal." The validation that we’re doing a great job being a good girl who does nice things to make others happy (even if we’re miserable). We’re force-fed the falsehood that what matters about us isn’t our desires, interests, or needs — but who we are for other people. Talk about a bullsh*t bill of goods.
It’s no secret women are trained to find solid ground in external sources.
LET’S HOLD UP THE MIRROR
Recognize & break free from the patriarchal systems you’re unwittingly holding up
Our work together is a little bit like a Rubix cube (stay with me). As a whole, it’s one thing: breaking free from patriarchal gender conditioning. But within that, there are so many different sides to explore. From family dynamics and intergenerational patterns—to over-functioning and codependency—we’ll work together to define how the individual pieces of your past have created the template you’re currently living by…before coming up with a tailored plan for evolution.
STOP BEING WHO OTHERS WANT YOU TO BE. START BEING YOUR REAL SELF.

Let’s unearth what is—and isn’t—working for you
We'll take a deep and insightful look at the programming you inherited and explore how it has shaped your sense of self and informed your choices. Some of what you received may work well for you. But in places where it doesn’t, we’ll create new pathways you’ll begin practicing to cultivate a more resourced and empowered version of yourself.
SUBJECTS WE MIGHT EXPLORE INCLUDE:
Every woman’s background, challenges, and goals are unique—which is why my life coaching services are always tailored to your distinct needs. Rather than a pre-set program, we’ll pull from different topics to weave together exactly what you need to reach your goals.
DEEPLY INDIVIDUALIZED
- Gender socialization (aka. good girl)
- Understanding patriarchy and its impact on your life and relationships
- Secure, equitable relationship skills
- Healing codependence and people pleasing
- Owning, honoring, & expressing your needs
- Healthy communication skills
- Trusting your anger
- Being emotionally attuned to and responsible for yourself
- Empowered dating skills
- Setting and maintaining boundaries
- Being a higher priority in your life
- Creating a life based on your gifts, goals, and authentic needs
- Strengthening your connection to and trust in your body’s cues and intuition
- Navigating relationship completions that inevitably happen as you grow
- Cultivating your maturity and sense of sovereignty within a culture that wants you to remain an immature, dependent maiden
FOR WOMEN WHO FEEL:
SICK OF BEING A GOOD GIRL...
It’s a role you’ve been handed and have learned how to play for as long as you can remember—but you’re done living for the opinions and approval of others. You’re ready to write your own script.
A CALL TO FEEL WISER & clearer...
You've always known something is off. But now you want to keenly understand the systemic patterns that have shaped your life and how to get freer from them.
READY FOR A MORE AUTHENTIC LIFE...
You want to wake up each day feeling grounded, at-ease, and confident that the choices you’re making are aligned with your needs, not everyone else's.
• Single, in a stable relationship, or you've left a relationship.
• Resourced and ready to learn new things, try new skills, and make meaningful changes in your life as you learn to prioritize your true needs.
• Committed to your growth and you know that participating in feminist coaching—and receiving the education, skill building, support, and guidance that's available in this unique container—will make a huge difference in your ability to reach your goals.
• Currently in therapy or have done 2+ years of therapy so we can build an empowering layer of feminist understanding on top of the foundation work you've already done.
• Focused on becoming an amazing partner to yourself. You may want to be in a relationship or learn how to upgrade things in your current relationship, but your primary goal is to be a fantastic partner to yourself.
COACHING *IS* FOR YOU IF YOU ARE:
COACHING IS *NOT* FOR YOU IF YOU ARE:
• Unhappy in your relationship but can't decide if you should stay or go. There are attachment dynamics happening in this situation that are best supported with therapy.
• Destabilized from: trauma, a jarring event, an abusive relationship, a very difficult breakup, or you're struggling with an addiction or an acute mental health issue. The support you need in all of these cases is, again, best supported by therapy.
• Looking for a hack to expedite your growth. We all wish there was one, but there's no quick-fix, least of all the depth-oriented coaching work I do.
• Highly focused on finding a relationship and you hope that if you fix yourself, you'll find The One. There are coaches who do this kind of work but that's not the aim of my work.
"I now ask for what I want instead of working hard for little in return. I know how to stand up for myself and say no to other people. And I’ve learned to love myself, something I hadn’t done before. Choosing to work with Robin was one of the best decisions I’ve made." - A

Coaching and therapy seem similar because they both aim to help people live more fulfilling lives. But they're actually quite different modalities of work and it's important that you know a bit about each of them so you can make an an informed choice about which path is best for you. I work as a coach and see amazing results in my clients. And, I very much value what therapy has to offer. Read on to learn more and decide which type of work is the best fit for you!
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
Coaching is a place to build skills, get educated, increase your sense of clarity and choice, and learn how to engage in your life in new ways. Therapy is a place to deep-dive into your inner world and address mental health issues, as well as to work through trauma.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
Coaching assumes that, overall, you feel mentally and emotionally well. Obviously everyone experiences worry and upset. But coaching assumes you mostly feel balanced, resourced, and ready to lean into doing things in a new way in your life. Therapy welcomes you with whatever level of distress, dysregulation, crisis, trauma, addiction, or mental health issues you may be experiencing.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
On a scale of supportive to challenging, coaching is more challenging as it encourages you to lean into trying new things in order to achieve your goals. Therapy, on the other hand, is more supportive as it holds space for you to explore and learn how to work with your inner world. Every practitioner has their own ways of working so this can vary a lot. But in general, coaching being more forward-leaning and challenging with therapy being more supportive is a safe bet.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
Professional boundaries are different with coaches and therapists. Coaching is more conversational and you'll likely get to know personal information about your coach though anecdotes, teaching stories, and chatting. Therapists have a much stronger boundary and are trained to show up authentically, but to leave themselves at the door. This gives you the experience of having a space that’s entirely for you, which can be very healing for doing deep work.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
Coaching asks you to set goals, show up to each session knowing what you want to discuss and work on, and (do your best) to follow through on the weekly actions, or homework, you commit to. Therapists vary in their approach, but generally hold you with more spaciousness, meeting you where you are without directing you to say, do, or make anything happen other than to be where you are.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
Coaching is not covered by insurance and is entirely out of pocket. Therapy can sometimes be covered by insurance. Choosing a practitioner where you can easily afford their services make a huge difference in being able to get the support you need.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
Overall, if you feel resourced and balanced, like a direct approach, want to build skills and get educated so you can practice showing up in new ways now, and are able to pay entirely out of pocket, coaching will be a great fit for you. Conversely, if you feel unstable, notably off-balance, are dealing with mental health, addiction, or issues stemming from unresolved trauma, desire a supportive approach, or want insurance to cover your fee, therapy will be a great fit for you.
What's the difference between coaching & therapy?
THE RIGHT PATH FOR YOU
I cannot imagine my life without Robin. I feel significantly changed. All of my relationships look very different. They’re much more reciprocal and fulfilling as I’ve learned to set boundaries and speak my needs.
"Robin has been the most impactful teacher of my life. She has held up a mirror when I haven’t been able to see myself.
O FOUND GROUNDING AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS
I now feel I'm operating out of a place of love and understanding for myself. I can't recommend Robin enough! She holds safe space and supports me more than I've experienced with any other therapist/coach.
"I've learned there are no quick fixes to these things, but it's so worth it to do the work.
K BROKE FREE FROM CHILDHOOD CONDITIONING
Robin is empathic, thoughtful, and always very engaged. She doesn't let you off the hook if you fall into old habits, but has compassion to let you know she's on your side and rooting for you.
"I had done years of therapy but am making more progress in key areas of my life with Robin as my coach than I ever had before.

This is a laser-focused coaching session where we'll unpack what's been making you feel stuck so you can feel clearer and more confident to take empowering action in your life. Things we can focus on are: relationship dynamics, owning your needs, is it time to lean in or leave a relationship?, boundaries, empowered dating skills, codependence, or picking my brain about feminism, coaching, or anything I've posted about on IG. If you need a boost of feminist-oriented clarity on one topic and aren't interested in ongoing coaching work, this is for you.
