Hey Y’all, I’m Robbin


I remember the weekend like it was yesterday. Since it was a couple of weeks before Christmas, my husband and I decided to get our picture made in front of a giant Christmas tree in the area. If we didn’t like the way it looked, we thought we’d return the following weekend and try again. But, we never got the chance.
My husband was struggling with some issues, but I never thought he’d actually take his own life. Even now, as I write about it, it seems surreal.
Although I’m no stranger to grief, this hit me hard. I know that life can turn on a dime, but I wasn’t ready to lose my husband.
I wanted him here.

I remember the weekend like it was yesterday. Since it was a couple of weeks before Christmas, my husband and I decided to get our picture made in front of a giant Christmas tree in the area. If we didn’t like the way it looked, we thought we’d return the following weekend and try again. But, we never got the chance.
My husband was struggling with some issues, but I never thought he’d actually take his own life. Even now, as I write about it, it seems surreal.
Although I’m no stranger to grief, this hit me hard. I know that life can turn on a dime, but I wasn’t ready to lose my husband.
I wanted him here.

Our lives weren’t perfect, but our life was ours. And I wasn’t ready to do life without him.
I felt lost, and on top of it all, Covid-19 hit three months after his death.
Even though I was in no state of mind to take care of these things, I had equipment to sell, an estate to settle, a company to dissolve, bills to pay, and a life to figure out.
Taking control of the money and creating a life I love were, by far, the most daunting tasks on my list.
As much as I wanted to climb under a rock and hang out there for a long time…maybe forever, I knew I couldn’t. People were counting on me to do the things that needed to be done.
So, I put one foot in front of the other and moved forward.
I learned to take control of our money, pay the bills, read as much as possible about being a good steward of the money, set myself and our family up for financial success, and work on creating a life I love.
What I’ve learned is that merely surviving isn’t enough. Even amid hardships and challenging times, it’s not healthy to stay in survival mode too long.
How many of you who are recently widowed feel like you are barely surviving? Are you hardly keeping your head above water, and feeling overwhelmed with life most days?
You may want to climb under a rock too. You tell yourself that it’s too much, you’re exhausted and not sure what to do next.
I’m here to help you.
My training as an educator and money mindset coach, coupled with my experience as a recently widowed woman, positions me as the one to guide you on this venture.

We can be examples of what’s possible.
As resilient women, we can come out of this stronger than we were before, take control of our money and our lives, and thrive.
Learning to thrive is a process, and that’s how I created The Thrive Formula. The Thrive Formula is a compilation of all that I’ve learned from my experiences combined with my education and training as a Life and Money Mindset coach.
The Thrive Formula is a proven six-part process that addresses six critical areas that will change the way you think about your life and your money, help you learn to manage your mind and find your power again—for example, being intentional with your money, choosing to live from a place of abundance, placing a high value on your relationships with money and people, gaining insight and inner peace, visualizing your own level 10 success and last but not least, embracing your power and the courage to create a life you love.
Traveling down this road of transformation will help you see that everything in life really is “figureoutable”, working on your own life is the secret to healing, and embracing your power is the best thing you’ll ever do to put your mind at ease and create a balanced, calm and serene life.
I want to leave you with this quote from Maya Angelo.
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
