Sometimes healing demands that we show up exactly as we are - messy, unfiltered, and courageously vulnerable. Fresh from finalizing my divorce and barely settled into my new apartment, I'm coming to you raw and unedited from the pool area of my complex, sporting a bikini at 53 because my ancestors and spirit guides pushed me to be seen, not just heard.

The past seven months have thrown my life into beautiful chaos. Between deciding to divorce, actually going through with it, and relocating just 20 days ago, my nervous system has been utterly "shot to hell." Yet within this upheaval, I've been called to double down on authenticity. So here I am, showing up with my extra weight, my insecurities, and absolutely zero fucks left to give - because that's what genuine transformation looks like.

This impromptu episode marks a turning point in how I'll share my journey. You'll see more of me, literally and figuratively, as I work through reopening old wounds that never properly healed. As we witness the final chapter of Boomer leadership, I invite you to ask yourself the questions I'm wrestling with: What do you want from your government? From your country? From yourself? And most critically - how can others truly know you if you're not showing up authentically? Join me in keeping it punk, keeping it real, and rocking the fuck out as we navigate this journey together. Your Auntie Robin is back, and she's not hiding anymore.

KEEP IT PUNK, My Younglings!

Speaker 1:

Yeah, hey, punks, it's me. Your Auntie Robin, how you doing? I thought I would introduce myself to you Down by the pool, just kind of relaxing, just trying to get back into my flow. But unfortunately, when you've only had a month from being divorced and about maybe 20 days of moving into your new apartment and trying to get settled Uh, this is where you're at. Um, I didn't get the podcast done this month, last month, june, I guess Um, basically, because, well, there's a lot of shit going on and I'm hoping that you can kind of forgive me for that. But and I also apologize if I seem a little distracted Because I'm in the courtyard, I'm in the pool and people are kind of coming in and out with after work taking their dogs on walks, so it's kind of the pup monster hour.

Speaker 1:

And when I get distracted by dogs, I I got a look, they're fuzzy, they're cute, come on. But my ancestors and my spirit guides kind of told me that I needed to get my ass out from behind the camera and out from behind the microphone and in front of it. So that's what I'm doing. I'm doubling down actually, with the universe because they want me to be seen, not just heard. And I understand that now, because you're supposed to see my progress. You're supposed to see how I develop, how I've changed, what happens when you do so. It's going to be kind of interesting and I hope that you'll follow me through all of this. So I'm going to be doing a few more videos Ooh, excuse me. A few more videos like this kind of short, a little bit more social media friendly, I guess. But this will actually be posted as my podcast episode-ish for this time, and I apologize for that. I really truly do. But I did not estimate that in the seven months between the time that I decided I was going to get a divorce up until the time that I did that, it would be holy hell in my life and that I would actually have to reheal, if you will, some old wounds that kind of came up, and I'm kind of grateful that they did, because then that way I can kind of take care of it a little bit more, get a little bit more detailed in my work, because I like to do that.

Speaker 1:

I'm a detailed-oriented kind of girl. I'm a detailed oriented kind of girl. But I am also kind of nervous and kind of scared because I've never put myself out there like this, and with my guides and ancestors kind of pushing me a little bit towards doing this, I thought I would double down today. And not only did I show up to film live, which I never have done, my ancestors and spirit guides wanted me to show you, so I decided I'm going to up them up the ante just a little bit more than what they thought. So I actually showed up down here in a bikini.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, your Auntie Robin, who is 53. Yeah, I'm overweight, but I don't care. I don't care. I have zero fucks to give, zero bucks to give you. So I hope that you understand that and hopefully we can come out of this together a little bit better, a little less bruised and a lot more relaxed, because, goddamn, my nervous system has been shut to hell. Okay, so this is me trying to rebalance and I'm hoping that you're here for this journey because I think that you'll actually, by seeing my progress and seeing how I've changed and how things work a little bit, hopefully you might want to join in.

Speaker 1:

Um, but I kind of feel like you guys need help figuring out who you are and what you want to do. Um, because the boomers time is kind of done their leadership. This is probably the last time that they will be in power or in office. So what is it that we want? Ask yourself that what is it that you want out of your government? What is it that you want out of your country? What is it that you want out of yourself? What is it that you want from other people? But if you want something from other people, then you need to make sure that you're showing up as your authentic self. And if you're not showing up as your authentic self, well, you kind of shit out of luck because you're not showing who you truly are. So how are people supposed to know who you truly are if you're not even showing up for yourself? Ask yourself that, all right.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'm going to sign off here, but I hope you guys will bear with me while I'm working through all this shit and I am basically posting these videos raw, unedited. Why Not for the cringe factor? Certainly not for that. It's just that I do not have any editing software at this moment and I'm hoping to get some here or discover some. If you have any recommendations, let me know. But I'm just kind of popping on here, hoping that you understand that this is gonna be my podcast episode for month, so I'm sorry, forgive me. Forgive me, but I hope you guys enjoy your day and please know your Auntie Robin wants you to keep it punk, keep it punk, keep it real and rock the fuck out. Peace.
