Self Lovin with Aunty Robin

Send us Fan Mail Your belief system is running the show, even when you don’t realize it. So grab your pen-and-paper to find the beliefs that propel you forward and the ones that quietly hold you back. Think of this as a guided belief audit for self-love, self-awareness, and real change, not vague “positive thinking.” We build a simple map with five categories: family, school, work, religion, and s...

Send us Fan Mail Trauma doesn’t just sit in your memories, it shows up in your body, your relationships, and the way you try to stay safe.  I talk plainly about physical abuse and sexual assault and why healing has to be paced. If you’re not ready right now, that’s okay. My goal is to leave you tools you can come back to when you are ready. We start with a set of questions to create clarity withou...

Send us Fan Mail You can be responsible and still be playful, and if you feel burned out, scattered, or stuck in your head, play might be the missing tool. I’m making a simple argument: adults need fun on the calendar, not just work and obligations. When we never schedule joy, we lose a key source of creativity, stress relief, and emotional resilience. I walk through how play disappears as we move...

Send us Fan Mail We’re standing in a cemetery, sirens in the background, and talking about the thing most people whisper about: how to connect with ancestors and spirit guides without losing your grip on reality. The surprising start is a blunt reframe of heaven, hell, and the afterlife. If “hell on earth” is the thought loop that plays in your mind all day, then the path to spiritual connection b...

Send us Fan Mail I grew up with church pews, Sunday rules, and a quiet sense that the adults who preached certainty didn’t always live it. That gap turned me toward a different lens: religion as storytelling and ritual. Stories move us, settle us, and offer scripts for hard days, and rituals give our hands something to do when our hearts are heavy. From Jonah to Noah, the parables are less about f...

What if the system that promised men power quietly cut them off from connection? We head to a windy Scottish loch and get brutally honest about male loneliness, the illusion of control, and the narrow te...

Send us Fan Mail We mark New Year’s Eve with tea in Edinburgh, raw feelings, and a clear line between survival mode and the slow build toward joy. From Scotland’s water to the Tower card, we trace a healing arc, claim boundaries, and ask for community support to start a new life. • contrasts between Scotland and the US on water, food, and systems • small human moments with strangers and what care...

Send us Fan Mail We talk through a month that changes everything: selling nearly all we own, ending a 23-year massage career, and booking a one-way ticket to Edinburgh guided by intuition, ancestry, and an owl that wouldn’t quit. We also take the gloves off on politics, corporate power, church influence, AI fear, and what community care looks like when big systems fail. • Divination, spirit animal...

Send us Fan Mail The headlines felt relentless, the feed louder than my own thoughts—so I grabbed a paintbrush, hit record, and chose a different kind of response. What followed was part art session, part reckoning: we talk about gun violence and responsibility, the way doomscrolling hijacks our nervous systems, and why joy might be the most subversive habit we can practice right now. I share how...

Saying goodbye to Kicked Can Generations Podcast, she's embracing a fresh path focused on fierce self-love and challenging beliefs that no longer serve us. Drawing inspiration from her great aunt who "gave zero shits" about others' op...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes healing demands that we show up exactly as we are - messy, unfiltered, and courageously vulnerable. Fresh from finalizing my divorce and barely settled into my new apartment, I'm coming to you raw and unedited from the pool area of my complex, sporting a bikini at 53 because my ancestors and spirit guides pushed me to be seen, not just heard. The past seven months h...
