We fall in love and then with time we realize that they are not nearly as perfect as we thought. A common theme, but in truth why is that?       We all carry many conditioned ideas of what love should look like. It is the purpose of our relationships to bring to light that which is buried inside of us keeping us stuck and scared.      Unless we are willing and aware enough to look at those unhealed places in ourselves and those outdated stories that prevent the kind of intimacy we really want, we are destined to go through our relationships with pain and heartache.   We need Courage to Love and courage to go beyond our limitations and “wake up” to our authentic self that is wanting to be expressed and free.       In this episode of Awaken Radio, Robin and her guest, Ken D. Foster, (author of “The Courage to Change Everything,” and radio show host in over 100 countries) will help you to free the love within yourself so you can experience the kind of transformation only your intimate relationships can provide.     Learn more about Awaken Radio

Is it possible to have intense, passionate, and over-the-top (some would say crazy) kind of love in our lives? How do we drop the pretense of the beliefs about love and life that we have adopted and have been living our entire life?  

Can we make “mistakes” and forgive ourselves… knowing that we sometimes need to learn lessons that we cannot learn any other way?

Robin doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. BUT, what she has come to unmistakably know is that we are all on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Life moves on, whether we want it to or not, and in order to be in sync with our hearts and souls, it is important to allow love to flow through our lives and transform those parts of ourselves that are conditioned and not who we are authentically.

If you want to be truly happy and free, it is imperative that you know your needs and values, and act from that place in integrity. It is not easy if you allow fear from your past heartbreaks and wounds to lead the way.

This episode will inspire you to reach for all the love that you are, and share it so that you can be liberated and able to experience all the love that is here for you.

When we realize that the life we are living does not belong to the calling of our heart and soul, we make a choice to transform our lives.  Sometimes we are even unaware that our higher self has already set into motion the changes we need to make in our lives to be free and to be authentically who we are. It is a difficult journey. It is necessary to accept ourselves just as we are during these times of intense change. When we judge and blame ourselves or others, it will cause unnecessary pain as we metamorphous into our new self. Our courage will come and go and we may find ourselves stuck as we cling to the known and familiar. How do we begin to accept ourselves and love ourselves and make the deep transformation that is calling?  Robin Jillian will explain to you what the journey looks like and how to navigate your fears and make the changes you so deeply desire.   Learn more about Awaken Radio

We all want to be “in love.” Why? It feels amazing, validates who we are, and allows us a level of growth and joy that we cannot experience on our own.    Your relationships serve as mirrors. What does that mean? You have places inside of you where you have shamed, judged, or blamed yourself, and those parts of your character get locked away inside of you especially after a breakup.    You become shut down and fearful as a result. How do you open your heart again after a heartbreak? The key is to be aware of your own values and needs.   When you take responsibility and are willing to awaken to what is going on inside of you… only then can you be empowered to show who you really are… embracing your values and needs within an authentic relationship. From a soul perspective, you chose those partners that will help you to unlock those closed doors, thus the reason for the attraction in the first place.   Those closest to you know where to push your buttons so you can ultimately heal, and although painful… if you can stay open and vulnerable to what life is teaching you, not only will you heal, but you will know a love like never before.      Learn more about Awaken Radio

When we are ready to awaken, living our lives from a place of expanded awareness to experience greater satisfaction and joy in our lives, it is necessary to develop spiritual muscles.     Do you have a desire to go beyond where you are now in your life?  Would you like to free yourself from the limiting beliefs and conditioning that is holding you back? Robin explains that it is necessary to develop spiritual muscles in order to make the necessary changes and experience the kind of growth we want in our lives. Like all muscles, the more you use them the stronger they become.   Together we will explore just what spiritual muscles are available to us to develop a greater sense of love for ourselves and ultimately the freedom to be who we are.      Learn more about Awaken Radio

We all have struggles in life. That being said, there are times in your life when many things seem to fall apart at once. These are very painful times and we fight the winds of evolution because it makes us so uncomfortable and insecure. Growing is not easy or fun much of the time. What I have come to observe is that it is not possible during these times to “will” your way to fulfilling your needs and desires, and seemingly the harder you try, the more life resists and you find great disappointment. Life is showing you what needs to change. Are you resisting the messages in your life and causing more pain? What if you could embrace the change and accept what is being revealed to you? There are things in your life that are ending or need to end, and will you allow life to lead you to your next destination through the art of surrender? Robin speaks about Faith and Gratitude as the fuel to Surrendering to a more enlightened way of being. This will allow you to be at peace even through the struggles. Through your surrender to the “what is,” you can co-create your life with God, source, spirit, universal flow, nature (whatever words resonate with you) to manifest a purposeful and meaningful life that will bring you acceptance and love.   Learn more about Awaken Radio

Leaving a relationship is one of life’s most painful decisions. Robin speaks that the most important thing is to know your own values and needs, not what we have been told and adopted as truth. Life is no dress rehearsal, you deserve to be happy and loved. Sometimes, it is necessary to leave a relationship in order to grow and expand beyond your current limitations. There is also another way to look at our relationships. Our relationships point us to our own soul wounds and mirror back to us what we “need” to look at in order to grow. A relationship built on trust and deep love can also be the most powerful means we have to creatively actualize our life. Robin shares both perspectives and encourages you to have the courage to know what is right for you, knowing that you are loved and supported.   Learn more about Awaken Radio

When you are on a spiritual path, there are many pitfalls and traps. We desire to act and be as spiritual beings in the world, but one of the biggest traps is to use what I refer to as “Spiritual Bypassing” as a way to negate and hide our true feelings and buried emotions.      We all have wounds and traumas in our life that need our attention and love. When it becomes too difficult and painful to look at ourselves, we can easily bypass the honest and authentic “work” of facing our deepest fears. It is an understatement to say it is challenging as we are asked to be deeply vulnerable, accepting, and forgiving. Together, we can become aware of how spiritual bypassing has allowed us to cover up our ability to heal and love in a deeper way… only then can we recognize true spirituality as we become more authentically aligned with who we are.   Learn more about Awaken Radio

Do you have dreams that you would like to see manifest? You doubt and you are afraid that you cannot manifest your dreams, that is common, but untrue. Are you telling yourself stories all the time of why you cannot live the life you truly want, being who you truly are? Do you even know the authentic you?    Why is it that some people can create a life of their dreams, and how are they different from you?  They are not different, they just have skills in using their hearts and mind to create their life. Perhaps you are selling yourself short and acting out your life under other people’s expectations and evaluation of who you are.   Robin suggests we explore our innermost self and learn that “all of our dreams are just a heartbeat away.”    Learn more about Awaken Radio
