EP 205 - The Strategy of Love: Dr. Robin’s Unique Approach to Lasting Relationships

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In this episode I sit down with the unstoppable Dr. Robin—a powerhouse executive coach, international speaker, and clinical psychologist who is boldly launching her new book, Marriage, Incorporated: The Boardroom Blueprint for a Lasting Love. Dr. Robin shares her unapologetic, go-for-it attitude and dives deep into the passion behind her work, helping leaders and couples create opportunities for success in every area of their lives.

Together, Dr. Robin and I explore the importance of reclaiming words used to label assertive women, dissect the difference between coaching and therapy, and discuss why relationships benefit from having an actual strategy just like thriving businesses do. You’ll hear Dr. Robin’s take on the courage it takes to defy expectations, the transformational power of learning, and how her viral TEDx talk on empowering young women sparked important conversations worldwide. Plus, she shares practical insights for anyone ready to take charge of their personal growth, relationships, and ambition—without apology.

Mark your calendars—Dr. Robin’s book launches September 18th! In the meantime, get ready for an empowering conversation that will have you rethinking what’s possible when you let go of perfection, tune out external judgments, and own your unique version of “bossy.”

Key Takeaways:

• Rejecting "no" and finding ways around barriers
• Importance of self-inquiry and learning versus simply winning or losing
• Shifting marriage/relationship narratives from "hard work" to "dedication and decision"
