Raditude

What happens when a lifelong caretaker walks 500 miles in search of herself? In this episode, transformational coach Margitt Royce shares the surprising truth she uncovered on the Camino—and how letting go of being “Mom” changed everything.

In this episode, I’m joined by Margitt Royce, a transformational guide, somatic coach, and speaker who helps women reclaim their inner voice, embody their truth, and live with radiant authenticity. With over two decades of experience in somatic work, Margitt specializes in guiding clients through life transitions, deep emotional healing, and nervous system regulation using embodiment practices rooted in the body’s wisdom. As the founder of Root to Rise, she supports women ready to release old identities and step into their next chapter with clarity and courage. Her work is grounded in lived experience—particularly her journeys along the Camino de Santiago, where personal transformation meets spiritual practice.

Throughout this episode, Margitt shares how walking the Camino twice—first with her daughter, then alone—became a catalyst for profound inner change. She opens up about the emotional, physical, and spiritual layers of the pilgrimage, including how it helped her move beyond a lifelong role as caretaker and reconnect with her sense of self. From practical advice on planning and pacing to intimate reflections on surrender, self-trust, and rediscovering joy, Margitt brings honesty and heart to every moment. Her stories offer a vivid look at what it means to walk through transition—literally and metaphorically—and invite listeners to consider their own version of the path. It’s a conversation full of insight, presence, and quiet encouragement for anyone longing to come home to themselves.

Get inspired by Margitt Royce’s powerful journey along the Camino de Santiago, as she shares how walking through challenge, self-discovery, and spiritual renewal can guide you toward greater trust, transformation, and inner freedom.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in patterns you can’t explain—overreacting, shutting down, or constantly trying to prove yourself—this episode will reveal the hidden emotional wounds behind those behaviors and how to finally break free.

In today's solo episode, Robert shares a deeply personal exploration of emotional healing, inspired by the book Heal Your Wounds and Find Your True Self by Lise Bourbeau. He discusses the five core emotional wounds—rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal, and injustice—and the behavioral "masks" people unconsciously adopt to protect themselves from these wounds. Drawing from his own life and recent experiences in spiritual workshops and retreats, Robert reflects on how these wounds have shaped his personality, behaviors, and relationships.

He explains that each wound typically originates in early childhood, often in connection with the parent of the same or opposite sex, and leads to specific defense mechanisms such as withdrawal, dependency, control, or rigidity. Through stories and examples from his own journey—including moments of humor and vulnerability—Robert brings to life the ways these patterns can show up in everyday situations, such as perfectionism, fear of abandonment, and difficulty expressing one’s true needs.

Central to his message is the idea that healing begins with awareness. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing our wounds, acknowledging the masks we wear, and approaching ourselves with compassion. Rather than viewing emotional triggers as problems, Robert encourages listeners to see them as gifts—opportunities to heal and grow. He highlights the spiritual perspective that our souls intentionally choose life circumstances to confront and resolve these wounds, and that true healing involves not only forgiveness, but gratitude for the lessons they bring.

Tune in to episode 55 of RADitude and discover how understanding your core emotional wounds can lead to powerful healing, deeper self-compassion, and a more authentic, love-filled life.

In today's solo episode, Robert explores self-improvement and the intricacies of relationships through the transformative framework of the Gene Keys. Drawing from personal growth experiences, he explores how understanding one’s shadows and gifts can foster deeper relationships and a more fulfilling life.

Robert introduces the Gene Keys, a system rooted in the I Ching, which encourages contemplation of personal traits through shadows (challenges), gifts (strengths), and siddhis (spiritual realizations).

Focusing on the Venus Sequence, he reflects on his journey to improve relationships, guided by resources like Tony Robbins and Abraham Hicks.

In today's solo episode, Robert introduces his Four Quadrants model for personal growth: mindset, health set, heart set, and soul set. By addressing all four areas, he believes individuals can create a meaningful and fulfilling life. 

Mindset focuses on self-awareness and addressing past traumas, with therapy and coaching as key tools for growth.

Drawing on personal experiences, Robert shares how these practices have enriched his life and emphasizes the importance of staying open to opportunities for growth.

In today's solo episode, we dive into the powerful and often unseen impact of family challenges on individual health and discover the concept of the Family Disease Cycle.
