In this interview, we speak with Robbyn Maiden. Robbyn, 41, is a single mum of two teenagers and one ‘beast’ (aka. The five-year-old), business owner, and part-time university student in Social Science. Having immigrated to this country 20 years ago from her native home, Canada, Robbyn has navigated – and continues to navigate – the issues surrounding identity and what it means to emerge fully present and connected with oneself.
Through a personal journey into movement, which includes running and weight training, Robbyn will discuss the power and benefits of choosing the ‘right kind of hard’ in order to pursue personal growth and emotional well-being during the difficult years of Covid. We speak on the power of perspective, body image and self-narrative, your relationship with failure, time management and expectations, the illusion of balance, reframing the sense of womanhood, the power of comparison – harnessing an alternative narrative, and finally, cognitive circuit breakers as a conduit of resetting mood and mindset.
Robbyn brings unique and salient reflections to internal self-dialogue and self-narrative. If you want to reach out to Robbyn or engage with her content, you can reach her here: https://www.facebook.com/robbyn.maiden or Sweetmaple_maire on IG.
