About Me
Hey there! I’m Robyn Lynde
At age 25, I became a widow. I had a one year old son, no job, and a boatload of adulting to learn, fast.
And I did it. I learned how to perform up to the expectations the world had for me. From the outside, it even looked like I was thriving. I figured out business rules, dealt with taxes, lawyers, responsibilities as an estate executor, getting sued (yes really, but spoiler alert, it got thrown out), learned to code websites, rented property, sold property, made business partnerships, ran a nonprofit board of directors, and planned events, all while taking care of my toddler full time as a work from home mom.
But I wasn’t thriving. And a year later, the stress of it all caused me to lose vision in my right eye. The MRI showed a clear result: multiple sclerosis. A few months later, I went partially numb from the waist down. I was exhausted all the time. Things looked pretty bleak.
The life of your dreams is only a decision away
Honestly, for a while, I wallowed in that. I gained weight, I piled more stress on myself, basically worrying my life away.
Then, a miracle happened.
I changed my mind.
I decided that my life didn’t have to be this way anymore. I started reading positive books by authors who had changed their life around. I meditated daily, I changed how I ate, and began to workout for the first time in my life. I took walks with my son and reveled at the beauty of the world around me. I learned to find zen when things fall apart.
Now my life is completely changed. I live in a different city, with a loving husband and 3 beautiful kids. My husband adopted my oldest son, got his dream job, and is wildly successful. I get to stay home with my smalls. My MS is in remission, and I continue to feel healthier every day. The best part is, I finally feel connected to the Universe, and know that she always has my back.
I fully believe that a gorgeous life is possible, mind, body, and spirit. No matter what, you can choose to see things differently, to work to find your zen even when things look impossible. In fact, it’s the commitment to seeing things differently that will change your life for the better.
My version of manifestation is a little different that you might find elsewhere. I’m not about toxic positivity, victim blaming, or ignoring trauma. I’ve lived trauma and it for sure wasn’t my fault. I’ve put together techniques to honor real life, and prioritize progress over perfection. For me, that means finding every little bit of calm and zen I can. Because that’s what I do - I’m finding zen when things seem impossible. And I’d love for you to join me.
