EP12: Love Lost, Life Found With Robyn Baldwin: A story of a canceled wedding, leaving a toxic relationship, and ignoring red flags
I’m so excited to share with you my interview with Robyn Baldwin. Robyn is a self-described Alpha Female + Work/Life Harmony Strategist.
Her story, and her transformation afterward blew my mind. Four years ago, Robyn canceled her wedding after realizing the relationship she was in was a toxic + co-dependent. She stayed with a man that had his own shit to deal with. But her belief of unconditional love + that love conquers all made her stay, because she believed she could fix him + the relationship.
Even after calling off the wedding, Robyn still struggled with putting herself first + literally could not be alone in her apartment.
Even if you’ve never broken off an engagement or canceled your wedding, so much of her story is incredibly common. As you’re listening, consider these questions:
– In your current or a past relationship, did or do you believe that you are responsible for your partner’s happiness?
– Does unconditional love conquer all? At what point is for better or worse a bad idea?
– Are you operating under a timeline of when you think you ought to be married or having kids?
– Can you hang out by yourself? {And enjoy it?}
– Finally, what red flags have you ignored? When has going against your intuition worked for you? Has it ever?
