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.

You're telling me your story and my mind has created a brand for you 😂 True story last week I was coaching someone who I've coached for over a year. 

As she's telling me something God spoke to her on and the lessons she's learned in her wilderness season my mind made up a brand name, a logo and where she could start sharing her lessons. 

For my own fun I mocked up the logo, made her a banner for substack and told her exactly how she could easily start sharing her message - in essence how to start a business. It took me less than an hour.

It can be that simple to come up with a name, create a logo and a banner and start posting on substack or Instagram.

She has a story that will impact others. You do too. 

It needs to be heard.

If you want support in pulling it together I have 3 spots for July for a beta coaching experience. 12 weeks, 1:1 coaching, self study videos and workbooks to get it out of your head and into paper so you know what your message is, who it's for, the transformation you can facilitate and how you do it uniquely.

CALLED is now open for enrollment! I've got a value packed offer to take 3 women on this month for a 12 week journey to turn their story and experience into a service or product to create impact and income, 

We'll have 8 coaching calls that will run alongside weekly self study videos to go deep into your lived experience, pull out the gold that your ideal client needs right now.

You'll start with getting rooted in your identity in Christ, because that is the foundation for everything. When we know that, we don't need to push and strive because we know who he has made us, that he is with us and that in our weakness he is made strong.

We'll then look at the MILESTONES in your life, pulling out the shareable lessons. 

Along with your MASTERY, the gifts God blessed you with alongside the skills you've learnt in the highs and lows - combining these to offer something unique, that only YOU can offer.

You'll get clear on who your ideal client is and what makes you the answer to her prayer.

Module 3 focuses on the MESSAGE God has put in you, the motto of your life that you need your ideal women to know.

You'll also get the practical steps of how to share your message easily and remove the stress and overwhelm from content creation.

Module 4 wraps up with mindset and inner healing. I'll guide you as we partner with the great physician to uncover the wounds, lies and beliefs that keep us stuck from sharing our voice and being the women God has called us to be. 

I look forward to speaking with you, send me a DM or book a call bit.ly/DCCalled

Have you found yourself waiting even though you believe God gave you a message to share?
 
Maybe he's even given you the plan but you still haven't launched?
 
Perhaps if you're like me in the past you've been watching webinars and downloading freebies but you're still not taking action.
 
It's quite common and I see it with women I've worked with.
 
So many women stay stuck in preparation mode because they believe they need more confidence, more clarity, more qualifications, or more time before they begin.
 
But that's not true. I believe you already have a seed to plant right now that can grow into something amazing.
 
It's already in you, because it's your life story.
 
In this week’s post, I’m sharing why the answer isn’t another course or another strategy, but learning to turn your Milestones, Mastery, and Message into your Mission.
 
If you’re tired of preparing and ready to finally take the next step, this one is for you.

What does learning a new language have to do with starting a business?

More than you might think.

Today I'm sharing a personal story about moving from Zambia to the UK as a child, losing my mother tongue, and what my colleagues taught me about courage, resilience, and being willing to sound like a beginner.

Because nobody becomes fluent by staying silent.

And the same is true when you're building a business, sharing your story, or stepping into a new season of life.
