Becoming Whole: Healing, Growth, and Soulful Living with Robyn Ivy

Hey friend, welcome back.

In this week’s solo episode, I’m sharing a bit more of my backstory and what shaped me into who I was and became.

You’ll hear some of the triumphs and defeats in my own life that taught me how to think, feel, and heal. 

With my kids away for a bit, I’ve had space to reflect and reset, and I wanted to bring you into that moment with me.

This isn’t just a personal update. It’s a deeper dive into how I became the woman, coach, and creative catalyst I am today. I talk about growing up in a religious household, navigating trauma and depression, and how chronic suicidal ideation has shaped my perspective in both quiet and powerful ways. But this is not a heavy episode. It’s real. It’s hopeful. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about reclaiming yourself through it.

🎧 Content note: I share my lived experience with chronic suicidal ideation — not in a graphic or dark way, but in service of honesty, education, and healing. Please trust your own timing and capacity before listening.

3 Takeaways from this episode:

  1. Healing happens when you stop hiding the hard parts. From growing up with trauma to coming back from the edge of life for over a half a century- I share why acknowledging your story is the first step toward wholeness—not weakness.
  2. The life you want doesn’t come from pushing harder. Rest, creativity, and real community aren’t luxuries—they’re lifelines. And the moment you give yourself permission to pause, everything starts to shift.
  3. You don’t need to “fix yourself” to move forward. Clarity, confidence, and soulful living come when you stop waiting to be ready and start responding to what your life is really asking of you.

If you’re ready to reconnect with your own clarity, reset your nervous system, and remember what it’s like to enjoy your life again — I’d love to support you. My private coaching and upcoming group programs are designed exactly for this season of transition.
