What if the way you see the problem is actually the problem?

This week on The Robyn Ivy Podcast, I’m inviting you into a refreshingly honest solo episode about how we often waste our time and energy solving the wrong problems. From a splinter mistaken for a paper cut to showing up a full week early for a coffee meeting (yep, true story), I share real-life moments that cracked open bigger truths about presence, pattern-breaking, and clarity.

Together, we explore how our brain’s default settings—especially in seasons like the holidays—often lead us to act on surface-level fixes that don’t actually move the needle. I’ll walk you through tools for slowing down, witnessing your own patterns, and choosing responses that actually get to the root.

If you’ve been feeling scattered, overloaded, or like something’s “off” but you can’t quite name it, this episode is for you.

3 Key Takeaways from the Episode

• Solve the Right Problem: Before you throw energy at the first frustration, pause. Are you treating the symptom—or getting to the source?
• Presence Over Perfection: You don’t need to be “on” all the time. Showing up as your real self creates way more connection than pretending you’ve got it all figured out.
• Self-Awareness Is a Superpower: When you practice observing your thoughts instead of reacting to them, you reclaim agency and make better decisions—without the internal chaos.

If this episode resonates and you’re craving deeper support, I’ve got you. Let’s talk about coaching, mastermind opportunities, or intuitive guidance sessions that can help you make the shift you’ve been waiting for.
