Robyn shares so openly and vulnerably that I’m moved to tears even typing these words.

Scaling, Messaging and Being Misunderstood (Session 3 with Robyn)
In Session 3 with Robyn, we discuss all things scaling and messaging. The truth is, in order to scale a program you need specific messaging that helps you stand out, and we’re getting clear on what that means for Robyn. Some of it is mindset and energetic and some of it is smart strategy, and you’ll get to see how it all fits together. We also dive into some of the shadow sides of sharing in this way- like the fact that people will misunderstand you no matter what. It’s a great episode that blends a bit of everything and will absolutely have some nuggets for you no matter where you’re at in your own journey. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why we often undervalue the things that come easiest to us What to do if social media feels like a high school cafeteria How to cultivate a willingness to deal with the challenges that come with growth (like being misunderstood) An important Q to ask yourself to determine your best strategy The thing that matters most for scaling (that you don’t have to worry about for 1:1) An obvious but important messaging hack that just might blow your mind Episode Links Join my Facebook group Learn more about Robyn on her website

In this episode, you’ll hear: The things that actually communicate who your program is for (outside of just what you’re saying about it) The good/bad that comes with hearing “This is so much more valuable than I thought!” What truly makes someone compelling The problem with the “I’ll just go show them” mentality we can get stuck in (and that I often find myself stuck in too!) A look at the systems that influence how we engage with life and our businesses The importance of “centering” yourself and how Robyn is entering a new era around this concept Episode Links Join my Facebook group Learn more about Robyn on her website
