Episode Summary

Coach Mo reconnects with longtime friend and consultant Robynne Rose-Haymer for a conversation that blends personal truth with practical strategy. Robynne shares how mindfulness, gratitude, and a strong support squad help her navigate life’s peaks and valleys while refusing to let fear or the inner critic dictate her path. From doctoral studies to nonprofit leadership, she brings a lived perspective on resilience, reflection, and continuous learning. Coach Mo then introduces his S.W.A.G.™ framework—Self-awareness, Why-power, Aligned Action, and Grit—as a proven structure leaders can use to take small daily steps that add up to lasting growth. Together, they outline a recipe for shifting from self-doubt into momentum, reminding us that fear is often “false evidence appearing real” and that true leadership begins with vision and self-awareness.

Key Takeaways 

• Mindfulness as a superpower: Daily breathing, gratitude, and self-reflection recalibrate energy in valleys.
• Reframe fear: Replace “Why me?” with “Why not me?” and treat fear as False Evidence Appearing Real.
• Continuous learning mindset: Curiosity and reflection open doors to growth when resources and answers aren’t obvious.
• S.W.A.G.™ framework (Coach Mo): Build Self-awareness, connect to Why-power, take Aligned Action, and cultivate Grit to stay on course.
• Detours ≠ derailment: Like MapQuest, knowing your starting and ending point helps you reroute with confidence when life shifts.
