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.

So many of us are still living by rules we didn’t choose—beliefs we picked up in childhood that quietly shape how we show up, dream, and make decisions. 

In this post, I’m exploring the messages we’ve outgrown and how to rewrite them so we can live more freely, creatively, and on purpose.As a coach, I often hear women echo childhood messages that still shape their lives today. Phrases like:

👉 “If you can’t do it perfectly, don’t do it at all.”
👉 “I want doesn’t get.”
👉 “Be seen and not heard.”
👉 “You can’t pay the bills with art.”

These inherited beliefs may have come from well-meaning adults or cultural norms—but when we hold them up to the light of the lives we want to lead—creative, purpose-driven, and free—they can quietly hold us back.

In this episode, we're talking about the rules we’ve outgrown, and asking the powerful question:

What rules need breaking so we can finally move forward?

Watch or listen below and come tell me what childhood beliefs you've left behind to step into your God given identity and calling?

I'm working on some exciting market research for my business, and looking for women who are passionate about personal growth, sharing a message, using their gifts, and stepping into their next chapter.

I'm looking to interview women who tick all the boxes below. 
 
This is a market research call to help me better understand my market, my potential clients and how best to support them. 
 
This is NOT a secret sales call, purely research for me so don't worry about being caught out!
 
I am conducting these over the next 2 weeks.
 
I am looking for women who:
 
🟧 Align with being led by God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in their lives and also want the same for their potential business or ministry.
🟧 Women who feel a strong conviction there is a message they are supposed to share with the world, a God-given message
🟧 Women who are heart led and empathetic
🟧 Women who are more on the introverted side or quiet
🟧 Women who have experienced feeling like an outsider or different
🟧 Feel called to share a message in some way - business/ ministry/ platform/movement/ voluntarily but are being held back by fear, worries, doubts etc
🟧 Feel things from their past are holding them back and feel like they play small in their lives

If this is you, please DM and tell me a bit about yourself and I'll give you the Zoom booking link.
 
In exchange I'm offering EITHER a free coaching call or free access to Design Your Dreams course.

Your Purpose is Already Inside You 🔥✨

Inner healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about removing what was never meant to be there.

When you let God heal the wounds, lies, and fear holding you back...
You hear His voice clearer.
You trust yourself again.
You step into purpose with boldness.

Healing makes space for the woman you were always created to be.

It's time to unlock what's already within you.
