The Story Behind the Story
Robin has devoted her career to a question that sounds simple but touches nearly every part of our lives:
What makes a relationship truly work?
Through decades of working with individuals, couples, families, leaders, and organizations, Robin has seen how deeply our relationships shape who we are and how we experience our lives. She has also seen how easily people can become caught in expectations about what relationships are supposed to look like, waiting for someone else to change, trying harder at something that is not working, or believing that the right relationship should somehow come naturally.
Those experiences became the foundation for
The Fairytale Fallacy:
Stop Chasing Fairytales. Build the Relationships You Deserve.
The book brings together Robin’s clinical experience, leadership work, and the lessons she has learned from thousands of conversations over the course of her career. At its heart is a belief that has guided her work for decades: extraordinary relationships are not something we simply find. They are something we learn how to build, and that work begins with the relationship we have with ourselves.
Throughout her career, Robin has helped people recognize the patterns that keep them stuck, gain clarity about what they need and value, and turn insight into meaningful change. Her approach is practical, strength based, and action oriented, grounded in the belief that the relationship you have with yourself is the foundation for every other relationship you build.
For Robin, The Fairytale Fallacy is more than a book. It is the culmination of her life’s work and the beginning of a larger conversation about what becomes possible when we stop waiting for our relationships to become the fairytale and start learning how to build relationships worthy of us.
