From Litigation to Love — with Daniel Robertson

Daniel's Story:

Daniel Robertson spent 14 years as a lawyer.

He excelled at analysis and argument, but the adversarial system clashed with his values.

At Pepperdine he studied world-class mediation and kept that seed alive for a decade.

Today he’s pivoting into relationship coaching, helping people heal and connect rather than fight and fracture.

His work blends spiritual inquiry (think A Course in Miracles and Richard Rohr’s “holy mystery”) with grounded tools for emotional processing.

He sees self-love and relational love as a both/and: we grow by validating ourselves and by receiving trustworthy love from others.

 

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • How to pivot from a head-led career to heart-aligned work without burning your bridges.

  • A clear way to process emotions (RAIN): recognize, allow, investigate, nurture—so you’re calm before you act.

  • How to use feelings as data: map fear, anger, sadness, joy, shame to the unmet needs they signal—and choose healthy strategies.

  • Attachment made practical: spot anxious/avoidant patterns in the moment and shift toward secure behavior.

  • A simple “pause protocol” for texts and tough talks: self-soothe first, then communicate with clarity.

  • And much more...
