  Aug 17, 202645 min

  Rebel Rootz Show Episode #75 with Robyn Godfrey. Robyn Godfrey is a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, keynote speaker, seven-time marathoner, and author of Running the World. After leaving a successful corporate career, Robyn built a new life around a powerful lesson she learned on a treadmill: you do not need more motivation, you need to take action. In this episode, Evonne Varady sits down with Robyn to talk about leaving corporate America, rebuilding identity, running marathons around the world, caregiving for a spouse with chronic pain, and learning how to move forward before you feel ready. Robyn shares how one 30-second treadmill run changed the direction of her life, why motivation can become a trap, and how small steps create real momentum. Evonne and Robyn also talk about the hidden emotional weight of caregiving, the power of community, and why success does not have to fit inside anyone else’s box. This conversation is for the woman entering a new chapter who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Sometimes the first step is not a full reinvention. Sometimes it is just 30 seconds.

  How To Stop Losing Yourself In Midlife w/ Lisa Brooks (EP #71)

  Jul 20, 202645 min

  Rebel Rootz Show Episode #71 with Lisa Brooks. Lisa Brooks is an LCSW, life coach, consultant, and founder of Wilmington Thrive Tribes. She helps women navigate life and career transitions with more self-trust, self-awareness, and courage. She is also a full-time Senior Lecturer in the School of Social Work at UNCW. In this episode, Evonne Varady sits down with Lisa to talk about midlife, burnout, self-abandonment, people pleasing, boundaries, identity shifts, and what it means for women to come back to themselves. Lisa shares how she first experienced an identity crash after leaving the dance and theater world in her early twenties, then faced another after marriage, motherhood, and 18 years working with children and families who had experienced trauma. This conversation is for the woman who has followed the rules, raised the family, built the career, said yes too many times, and still wonders why she does not feel better. Lisa talks about the kind of tired sleep does not fix, why self-care is not always another thing to add to your plate, and how boundaries, values, and small micro-movements can help women reconnect with themselves. Evonne and Lisa also discuss the “next chapter” after kids, the guilt women carry when they want more, the pressure to be good, and the powerful question: What do I want that is just for me? This episode is a reminder that losing yourself in midlife does not mean you are broken. It may mean you are waking up.
