I titled this the painted lady Butterfly because  it is the butterfly that is capable of traveling the longest distances in the world , Robin has been around the world and back in true Marine fashion of any clime or place. In this episode, I  have invited retired Sergeant Major Robin C. Fortner.  We talk about her journey now in her post Marine Corps -retirement life and that she’s fully walking into who she is as Robin, while the donning and clearing of the uniform is a physical act. The mental separation of self and service come at a later time. We talk about Robin's road back to self and what she is learning along the way. Robin shares the three letters, CPR, which have been the foundation of her success.Confidence Purpose  Resiliency What does Robin wish she has done better? It's so hard for us to even talk about ourselves. But we got to grow and be comfortable to do that more as women, just to be able to give ourselves those types of accolades for And not always looking at it from other people.Robin remembers taking off her uniform as an active-duty marine reflecting and feeling how much mentally she needed to decompress. She realized the mental exhaustion until afterward and how much that really does take a toll on who she is and had defined her for 30 years.She learned to take this time to reinvent herself to really be focused on who she is and reinvigorate everything that she loves to do back then that she stopped doing for so long while focusing solely on her career.Now, she’s having fun redefining, and doing a lot more reading.
