In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Robyn McKay goes back to Psychotherapy 101 and dives into the true meaning of holding space. Specifically, what it takes to create a healing environment and how leaders can hold space without absorbing the energy around them.
This episode explores:
What holding space looks like in real time
The challenges of holding space as an empath
How to discern your own energy and emotions
The energetic discipline required to hold space well
How our internal state informs the client relationship
Why presence itself creates opportunities for transformation
Holding space isn’t a one-time skill. It’s an ongoing practice of awareness, regulation, and embodied presence.

Robyn McKay, PhD, is an award-winning therapist and psychospiritual advisor who teaches and leads at the intersection of psychology × spirituality × energetics. With deep roots in clinical psychology and a lifetime of living at the crossroads of intuition and credentials, she is a rare bridge between science and soul, credentials and codes, strategy and spirit.
Early in her career, Robyn served as a university psychologist before stepping into her broader calling as a guide for high performers, creatives, and seekers. She addresses a wide spectrum of human experience — healing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD in women; accessing spiritual gifts; and navigating existential crossroads.
Having sold $2.5M+ in retreats and private intensives, Robyn is now architecting an entirely new category of retreats: expert-led, trauma-informed, miracle-level. She helps credentialed, neurodivergent, and spiritually awake women leaders design transformational retreats that carry depth, meaning, and lasting impact.
