What is the main theme of confidence?

I think confidence is a side effect of hustle. I definitely had confidence growing up in certain areas. Oh, I see, I got an A on this test, so I must be good at X, Y, Z. There's the external validation points which only go so far. When I realized my ability to be my own inner advocate was through movement. That was when I realized that I am the director of this story.

How can movement enhance self-advocacy?

And that was really terrifying and exciting at the same time. And the confidence that now really like buttresses like most areas of my life. It's a side effect of the hustle.

Her powerful influence and undeniable swagger transcend the fitness space with major brands, partnerships, collaborations, and the intersection of wellness, lifestyle, and fashion, including GSTQ.

And today, right now, the cover girl of Women's Health Magazine, Robin, welcome to the show.
Thank you for having me. What an intro. I have to bring you everywhere to kind of be a hype woman. That was really great.
Heather Monahan 2:45
I'm totally your hype woman. Listen, for a long time in my career, my listeners know this. I did not have women that would hype me up. They would, for whatever their reasons were, they wanted me to dim my light. They didn't want to celebrate things for me. And I used to think that was just the norm until I got out of that corporate environment, which I'm interested to find out that's similar for you. But then once you get around people that are for you and cheering you on, it's such a great feeling. And it just lets everybody say, oh, wait, when I shine my light, I'm inspiring someone else to shine theirs. Thank you. And that's what you're doing for us today.
Oh, thank you.

But sure, it was a dream of mine. And it's really, it's kind of funny when you realize dreams that you kind of only wrote in your journal privately, you know, years and years later, I still have a

I think that's normal. I mean, anytime something big happens for me, I feel the same way. Like, am I getting punked? I always think Ashton Kutcher is going to jump out of somewhere and be like, no, you are getting punked. That was hilarious. But you definitely are not. All right, let's get into it because I love your backstory.
