Healing Our Lives from the Inside Out with Kit Yoon (Replay)
Apr 1501:20:58Tap to summarizeSome conversations stay with you. This is one I've been thinking about since the day we recorded it. Kit Yoon has been one of my people since we were teenagers at a tiny boarding school outside of Boston. Now she's a Chinese medicine practitioner, hypnotherapist, and life coach who has spent over 20 years helping people get out of their own way. What we get into in this episode: why the beliefs you formed before age 12 are still quietly making your decisions. Why effort is often the thing that blocks healing — not the thing that creates it. And why the answer to most of what's keeping you stuck isn't more information. It's already inside you. If you've ever known exactly what you should do — and still couldn't do it — this one is for you. 3 Things You'll Take Away Your beliefs are running the show. The box you built before age 12 is still making decisions for you. Seeing it clearly is how you start to change it. You can't effort your way to healing. Real change isn't about pushing harder. It's about learning to receive what's already in you. You have everything you need right now. Not a platitude — a practice. This conversation shows you what it actually looks like. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Introducing Kit — and how we met (10:00) Kit's background: from boarding school to Chinese medicine (20:00) The mind-body-intuition intersection (24:00) How childhood beliefs become the box we live in (30:00) Why women are exhausted — and why self-care isn't the answer (31:00) The "hallelujah holy hell" moment — waking up to what you're thinking (33:00) Your mind is a 2-year-old with a Sharpie (35:00) "I have everything I need right now" — and what that unlocks (43:00) What it means to manage your mind on purpose (53:00) How to stop outsourcing your worth to the outside world (58:00) Ancient wisdom meets modern tools About Kit Yoon Kit Yoon is an acupuncturist, certified life coach, clinical hypnotist, and intuitive eating counselor with over 20 years of experience helping people get out of their own way. Originally from Thailand, Kit was sent to boarding school in America at age 12 — and has spent her life learning what it means to feel at home in herself, no matter where she is. That journey is at the heart of everything she does. She holds a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University and is currently completing her Doctorate. Her practice weaves together ancient wisdom and modern evidence-based tools to help midlife women feel healthy, confident, and at ease in their own skin. She calls it your Second Spring.

Unlocking Your Natural Intuitive Gifts
Apr 801:02:45Tap to summarizeYou were born with intuition. The question isn't whether you have it. It's whether you've learned to hear it — and whether you trust it when you do. This week I'm going deep on one of my favorite topics. What intuition actually is, how it shows up differently for different people, and how to start working with yours in a real and practical way. I also talk about where people get it wrong — including some things I wish more women knew before they go opening themselves up to just... anything. There's a difference between trusting your inner knowing and doing things you're not trained for. We talk about both. This is the kind of work we go deep on inside Your Next Chapter. But this episode is a good place to start. 3 Things You’ll Take Away: How you personally receive intuition. Do you hear it, see it, feel it, or just know it? Understanding your own channel changes everything.Where intuition is safe and where to be careful. Your inner knowing is always safe to trust. Opening yourself up to everything else is a different conversation.How to practice it. When you're most receptive, what conditions help, and why effort is the one thing that will shut it down. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Intuition, self-trust, and why this matters right now (02:00) Your Next Chapter — starting April 14th (06:00) Growing up intuitive — Robyn's earliest memories (08:00) Where faith and intuition intersect (and why it gets tricky) (11:00) The divine dialogue — prayer, contemplation, and the unseen (15:00) Intuition as a natural sense — not a scary thing (23:00) Clairaudience, clairvoyance, and the many ways we receive (27:00) How to find your channel — where and when you're most receptive (30:00) Why some places shut your intuition down (32:00) When to be careful — and what "just opening up" actually means (39:00) The protective side of intuitive work (43:00) Where we start inside Your Next Chapter — low stakes, high trust (46:00) You can't effort your way to intuition (54:00) Why this skill matters especially right now (56:00) Ask Me and My Intuition Anything — monthly live event 🔗 Connect with Robyn Ivy 🌿 Instagram – @robynivy 🧠 Website – www.robynivy.com 🎧 Listen on Apple – https://podcasts.apple.com 🎧 Listen on Spotify – https://open.spotify.com 💌 Email – robyn@robynivy.com Join Your Next Chapter at robynivy.com/next MORE ABOUT ROBYN IVY: Robyn Ivy sees people for a living.

The Lady Who Stole My Dessert & Other Stories of What Not To Do
Mar 3101:09:55Tap to summarizeWe all have a version of this story. Something happens. We get caught. We get embarrassed. And instead of owning it — we make it worse. This week I'm recording from Miami with a true story that illustrates exactly that. It's funny. It's human. And it's a perfect example of what our saboteurs look like in real life — and what it costs us when we let them run the show. I also get honest about my own version of this. A moment from the last few months where I let my saboteurs take the wheel — and what the real work of repair actually looked like after. This is the kind of thing we go deep on inside Your Next Chapter. But today you get the real-life version, live from Miami, with all the mess included. 3 Things You’ll Take Away: What your saboteurs actually look like in action. Not in theory, in a real story, with real consequences. You'll recognize yourself in this one.What repair really requires. It's more than an apology. It's a practice. And it's something you can learn.Why doing this work matters beyond you. When our saboteurs run unchecked, other people pay the price.

What’s Emerging- Let Spring Show You
Mar 1700:49:51Tap to summarizeThere’s something about this time of year that just feels more like the start of the New Year than January. In this episode, I talk about the shift when winter starts to let go and spring sneaks in before you notice it. Never all at once. Just little things. Crocuses coming up one day to the next. More light. A different kind of energy. And how that same thing happens in us. We talk about change and the inklings of what’s next that call to us louder in the Spring. Whispers and ideas that start as a thought, or a feeling, or just a sense that something is ready to move… even if you can’t quite say what yet. I share what I’ve been noticing in my own life, with my clients, and why this season can feel like a wiser time of year to begin again… or to at least emerge. If you’ve been feeling a pull toward something, at a crossroads or feeling excited for more to be revealed, you’ll love this episode. 3 Things You’ll Take Away: Where something is already shifting for youNot what you should change. What’s actually changing.How to stop overcomplicating the next stepYou don’t need a full plan. You need to tell the truth about what you want and what you don’t.A different way to start againNothing too dramatic. Definitely no perfect moves.

Commitment, Consistency, and the Real Work of Change
Mar 1100:46:02Tap to summarize🎙️ Episode 179: Commitment, Consistency, & the Real Work of Change It’s easy to make a resolution. Staying with it is the real work. This week I’m sharing a real example from my own life: What I am learning about change through recommitting to my fitness routine and realizing what it actually takes to follow through on change. This is a real reflection on how it’s going, what gets in the way and keeps me moving towards my goal. I know you’ll relate. We talk about what helps change stick: making clear agreements with yourself, reducing decision fatigue, leaning on community, and tracking what’s actually happening instead of relying on motivation. And what to do when you look at your planner and realize your “pretty consistent” habits aren’t as consistent as you thought. Hear about my new Clarity Sessions and the upcoming Your Next Chapter immersion, and why learning how you personally move through change might be one of the most valuable skills you can develop. If you’ve been trying to change something in your life but keep starting over, this episode will help you get honest, practical, and moving again. 3 Things You’ll Take Away: Clarity about what you’re actually committing to Vague intentions rarely create change. Clear agreements with yourself do.What actually helps you follow through Accountability, structure, and removing extra decisions make habits much easier to keep.Progress without beating yourself up Track what’s real, experiment a little, and adjust when life inevitably interrupts your plans. ⏰ Timestamps (00:00) Clarity, Change & Intuitive Growth (04:29) Mastering Change Through Sisterhood (07:59) Overcoming Decision Fatigue at the Gym (11:45) Accountability and Personal Change (13:16) Finding a Workout Routine (19:26) Strength for Life’s Challenges (22:12) Embracing Growth and Commitment (24:04) Growth Through Support and Reflection (27:50) Finding Your Right Fit (32:43) Balance in Community Spaces (36:56) Slow Down and Recenter (39:58) Progress, Reality, and Adaptation (41:42) Commit, Progress, Achieve Goals 🔗 Connect with Robyn Ivy 🌿 Instagram – @robynivy 🧠 Website – www.robynivy.com 🎧 The Robyn Ivy Podcast – Listen on Apple | Spotify 💌 Email – robyn@robynivy.com MORE ABOUT ROBYN IVY: Robyn Ivy sees people for a living.

Love Art Not War, with Mihai Bancila (Replay)
Mar 301:26:50Tap to summarizeRomanian Artist, designer and musician Mihai (Mike) Bancila never expected to put down his paintbrush for a few weeks to help neighboring Ukrainian refugees find shelter, anywhere they could, in his hometown but that’s exactly what happened. In this week‘s episode, he shares his frustration with the war, his love of art and how punk rock is giving his life some context. We talk about the choice to be an artist and what it means to follow faithfully wherever that path takes you. How closing our studios and losing everything in 2020 taught us about creative courage and who we really are. How necessary is courage for creativity to live at the forefront of our lives? Can we overcome our collective hesitancy, as a result of the pandemic, through creative practice? We get into the importance of presence and why enjoying the process matters. He says “Art is the process of me being with me, enjoying what I am doing without thinking of the outcome”. Mihai is high energy, inspiring and a part of a weekly artist’s collective I facilitate, and today we deconstruct the most recent creative challenge he led our group in and share an inside look at our own creative process, emotional upsets and tools for problem solving that work. What we further explore in this conversation - How creative courage teaches us to correct our mistakes because we can’t control- alt- delete them but instead must create solutions.- Why showing up consistently as an artist and to the work is critical.- How art teaches you the value of being present. - Why our art is our personal message to the world. Enjoy this episode. I hope it makes you go out and make art!

From Survival to Belonging: Life Lessons from a Stray Cat, with Robyn Ivy
Feb 2601:03:16Tap to summarizeWe were buried under three feet of snow here in Rhode Island, and while I was sitting inside with a sinus infection and nowhere to go, I kept thinking about Charlie. Charlie was a stray. Skittish. Half-wild. She started showing up in my backyard years ago. I fed her. Gave her shelter. Eventually set up a heated bed outside. She hovered at the threshold for a long time, close enough to see the warmth, unwilling to step into it. Until something happened. In this episode, I tell the full story-how survival instincts protect us, how resistance can keep us circling the very thing we want, and how sometimes it takes a “life quake” to finally let ourselves come inside. A few episodes back we talked about preparing for storms. This one is about what happens when you’re already in one. We talk about ego. Self-protection. Accepting help. The slow build of trust. And the shift from surviving alone to belonging somewhere. Because surviving keeps you alive. Belonging changes your nervous system. 3 Takeaways for you: Notice where you’re hovering outside what you say you want.Where are you close to warmth but still holding back?Survival mode can look like strength.Hyper-independence and control may be old protection, not present power.Receiving care is a practice.Belonging asks you to soften and let yourself be supported.

Why Now Is the Time to Use and Share Your God-Given Gifts, with Robyn Ivy
Feb 1801:07:41Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I’m talking about gifts: the ones you were born with (like them or not) and the ones you’ve cultivated over time. I share more of my own story here: growing up as a Christian with legit intuitive prowess, apprenticing spiritual teachers across many traditions, learning the real work of mediumship, and learning how to carry spiritual abilities in a practical, grounded way. We talk about my gifts and yours. How intuition is both a gift and a skill, protecting your gifts, and why using what you’ve been given is both an honor and a responsibility. I also reflect on indigenous stewardship, bridging more universal spiritual ideas with Christian faith and language, and what it means to contribute in uncertain times. Your gift may not look mystical. It may be patience, the best sloppy joe’s this side of Detroit or public speaking, crocheting, listening or leadership. Whatever it is, it’s not accidental. And it’s not meant to sit unused. This episode can help. 3 Takeaways for you: If a strength has been consistent in your life, it’s not a coincidence.It’s yours to use, share and offer up. Stop treating it like it’s optional.Intuition can be strengthened.You trust yourself by listening, acting, and setting boundaries not by waiting to feel certain.Your gifts create impact when you use them. Keeping them small keeps your influence small. Using them changes things.

From Chaos to Calm, Tools & Stories for Deepening Peace, with Robyn Ivy
Feb 1100:45:46Tap to summarizeThis week I’m talking about peace. Inspired by a group of Buddhist monks walking 1,800 miles across the country for peace, and by candid conversations inside my Flow fellowship, I explore what peace actually requires of us day to day. We talk about pace, presence, acceptance, boundaries, and the skills that make peace sustainable over time. I share personal stories, reflections on mindfulness, boundaries, and the value of having a sanctuary of your own. Plus learn practical ways to steady yourself when your body is activated or your mind won’t slow down. This episode is an invitation to slow down just enough to ask a useful question: What supports my peace and what erodes it? 3 Takeaways for You: Peace is built through intentional choices about pace, boundaries, and response moment by moment. Your pace is not neutral. If you’re moving faster than you can stay present, peace will feel unreachable. Slowing down isn’t a mindset shift — it’s a practical way to stay regulated and less reactive. Peace is built through small, repeatable choices. Creating sanctuary, saying no when needed, choosing regulation over override — these aren’t dramatic moves. They’re quiet decisions that add up to a steadier life. Timestamps: 00:00 Opening + why peace feels hard to access 04:18 The monks’ 1,800-mile walk and what it reveals 09:42 Peace as acceptance vs. peace as action 15:06 Pace, presence, and nervous system regulation 20:11 Creating sanctuary in everyday life 26:03 Boundaries, saying no, and protecting peace 32:40 Peace thieves: what disrupts your calm 38:12 Skills that support peace over time 44:05 Flow conversations and shared wisdom 49:30 Choosing peace intentionally Connect with Me: 🌐 robynivy.com 📸 Instagram 💌 Email: robyn@robynivy.com 🎙️ The Robyn Ivy Podcast — available on Apple, Spotify, & more MORE ABOUT ROBYN IVY: Robyn Ivy sees people for a living.
