"I feel much more able to choose differently now.
This class is like being given a handbook to the invisible rules of society and how much they’ve shaped my life. It helped me forgive myself for choices I made while not really wanting to, but believing I ‘should’ (like getting married & ending up in a patriarchal relationship and being unable to understand why it made me feel like I was dying inside). It helped me understand my relationship with my mum feeling entitled to me and to step more out of that to prioritize my own wellbeing. It helped me feel I have a right to draw boundaries at work. Mostly though, it allowed me to stop blaming myself for finding the construct of gender roles difficult to live in. It’s not an exaggeration to say I’ve found this class life changing."

"The skills I gained far surpassed my expectations.
I loved this class and looked forward to it each week. I learned to connect with myself and get clear on communicating my wants and needs, which positively effected both my professional and personal relationships. The structure and format was fantastic, the charts were clear, explanations easy to understand, the FB was outstanding, and Robin’s weekly emails with journaling prompts, videos, and resources were great. I would HIGHLY recommend, don't hesitate and sign up! I plan on repeating it when it’s offered next.

"There were so many jaw-dropping moments.
The biggest takeaway from this class was explaining how to set a boundary and defining the stages of the process. I loved her examples and stories because they painted real-life examples of how boundaries operate. Robin has a way of concisely stating things I’ve felt, but struggled to put into words. She's well-read and you can tell has spent a lot of time studying this content. I also felt incredibly validated throughout the course in terms of — I'm feeling my feelings for a good reason and it's my job as an adult woman to listen to what those feelings are telling me about my current situation so that I can better protect my energy. I can’t wait to take more of Robin’s classes!

"This was a necessary life-changing investment!
I gathered enough clarity and strength to leave an unhealthy situationship, opened my eyes to how much I neglected myself, my needs, and my own voice in relationships, and got amazing tools to get more in touch with my feelings and efficiently communicate them. The meetings were sometimes fun and sometimes challenging since it touched on some deep wounds that needed to come to surface. The little community we created became such a safe supportive space and I’m forever grateful for it."

This class is for growth-oriented women who want to learn how to have a healthier relationship with their anger & become fiercely loving self-advocates. Most women are taught to stuff their anger & center other people. This class will turn this bit of good girl training on its head & teach you how to trust your anger, center your well-being, & set empowered boundaries. If this sounds like the glow up you need, you'll love this class!
You’ll get the most out of the class, as well as the ability to ask questions & have 1-1 coaching with me if you attend. And it’s perfectly fine if you don't attend the live class as I’ll send you the recording & weekly reflections questions that will help you integrate what we’re working on.
Yes. If you email me within the 15 days of the class start date, I'll happily give you a full refund. If you let me know after that, I'll offer you a pro-rated refund.
This class will welcome you into a feminist convo on anger & load you up with practical boundary skills. But it's entirely up to you about when, how, & if you choose to use them in your life. My aim is to help you feel more resourced so that WHEN you want to assert yourself, you CAN. If this sounds empowering, sign up. If it sounds overly-confronting, skip it.
Only you know what's right for you. But if you'd like to "meet" me to see if our personalities click, I invite you to book a discovery session where we can chat about the class, I’ll happily answer your questions, & you can get a sense if this is the right thing for you. You can do that HERE.
“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves even when we risk disappointing others.”
Women struggle with boundaries because they fly in the face of the other-oriented, be who people are comfortable with you being way we were raised.
Additionally, we’re taught to suppress our anger, which is the internal signal we most need in order to know when our boundaries are being crossed!
Turning all of this deeply baked-in good girl training on its head by befriending our anger, prioritizing our needs, and setting boundaries — and holding our ground when folks are disappointed or angry with us — is no small task.
Yet there are few things that will make us feel more free or safe to be our authentic selves than cultivating a healthy relationship with our anger & developing the confidence to unapologetically stick up for ourselves.
If this is the glow up you want for yourself, please join me for Healthy Anger, Empowered Boundaries!

DETAILS:
I'm a feminist life coach for women & have worked with women individually and in groups for 20 years. I'm an advocate for women to get free from the codependent, good-girl conditioning that has us looking for security in others. And a guide supporting women to cultivate a solid sense of ground within.
My aim for Healthy Anger, Empowered Boundaries is to give you tools & support to help you reclaim what was taken from you — an in-tact relationship with your anger & the confidence to unapologetically stick up for yourself.
Tbh, it took me forever to figure out how to fully set boundaries, so I get how daunting it can feel. AND a lot of why women struggle with anger, boundaries, & self-advocacy is because everything we were taught is so disempowering & the exact opposite of what we need!
It doesn’t have to be like this though. So please allow me to share my hard-won wisdom with you so you can learn to trust your anger, take empowered action on your own behalf, & massively upgrade your boundary game!
