Robyn Polk: Crisis to Triumph – 70lb Weight Loss

From Crisis to Triumph: Robyn Polk's 70lb Weight Loss Journey

How Robyn lost 70 lbs and the emotional baggage to transform her life and health

WATCH OR LISTEN BELOW

Recently you may have noticed I’ve been talking around the theme of crisis.

Now it doesn’t sound fun but the reality is each one of us will likely go through a life challenge at some point.

What I want is to help us glean the gold from our life challenges so it becomes the reason why we take an even more aligned and meaningful life path!

Introducing Robyn Polk

In this episode I’m excited to chat with Robyn Polk.

Robyn Polk’s journey from facing a health crisis to completely turning her life around is truly inspiring. It shows how challenges can become opportunities for growth and transformation if we approach them with the right mindset.

Robyn decided to tackle her health crisis head-on, shedding an impressive 70 pounds and managing to keep the weight off for over six years. This remarkable achievement reflects her determination to take back control of her health and wellbeing.

What makes Robyn’s story special is that she realised her health crisis wasn’t just about losing weight. She understood that there were emotional issues tied to it too. So, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of her situation.

Change the way you think

Through this journey, Robyn discovered that true transformation involves more than just changing your outward appearance. It’s about changing how you think and live your life. By adopting a holistic approach to wellness, she not only achieved her weight loss goals but also gained a sense of empowerment and purpose.

Robyn’s story teaches us that crises, while challenging, can lead to positive changes if we view them as opportunities for growth. By seeing challenges as chances to learn and improve ourselves, we can use them to create a happier and more fulfilling life.

Life today

Today, Robyn is thriving in her own journey and is dedicated to helping other women over 50 achieve long-term weight loss success. Through her podcast, “Sweet Freedom over 50,” she shares valuable advice and support, proving that age is no barrier to achieving health and happiness.

Regardless of your age or circumstances, Robyn’s story shows that with resilience and the right mindset, you can overcome challenges and create the life you want. It’s a powerful reminder that we have the power to shape our own destinies and rewrite our stories for the better.

In this episode, I’m sharing reflections about identity, worth, dreams and why Christ is the only secure place to build from and be rooted in.

This episode came out of a voice note convo I had with one of my divine led cheerleaders. We were talking about identity work often found in coaching and self development and why it had been helpful but lacking.

I reflect on the impact of right roots in identity, goal setting and following your purpose.

🎧 Tune in now wherever you listen to podcasts.

And ask yourself: What has/have my identity/purpose and dreams been rooted in?

Being a Christian Isn't Just a Label — It's a New Identity.

In this post, I share a powerful shift God is stirring in this season: moving from surface-level Christianity to deeply living as sons and daughters of God. This identity shift changes everything—how we live, ask, expect, and show up. Ready to live from your full identity?"

I talk more about this powerful shift in identity in module 1 of Brand New Era. And why it’s key when you want to share your God given message through a business, ministry or gift.

⁠Brand New Era⁠ the self study course is currently open until Thursday 10th July.

The dove, the rushing wind and the tongues of fire are ways the Holy Spirit has been described or experienced. 

Today is Pentecost when the spirit of God lit the church and we believers got to receive God's Spirit alive and living within us for personal transformation and to build his kingdom.

Be blessed 🕊️

I'm spending my Saturday in silence — not scrolling, not talking, just being still before God.

It’s uncomfortable. Vulnerable. Revealing.

But it’s in the silence that we hear Him most clearly.
✨ Be still and know. ✨

I've prescheduled this post while I'm a silent prayer retreat being hosted by the spiritual director who has helped me greatly on my faith journey.

This ancient contemplative practise has been just one for the many things I've been exploring this last 18 months and been part of my faith based inner healing and walking ever more closely in my God given identity.

Brand New Era was birthed through this journey. 

It's about uncovering, healing, becoming and using our gifts, stories and voices to share God's message of love, grace, eternal life and healing.

If you're interested in the joining the self study course visit bit.ly/bneselfstudy

Any final questions DM and I'll answer on my return. Doors close tomorrow.
