In this call to courage, what happens when you commit to being even 20 percent braver? with Robyn O'Brien

About this episode

Robyn O'Brien discusses the importance of courage and vulnerability in driving change, particularly for women in the food industry and beyond.

We’re honored to introduce you to the beautiful, smart and deeply heart-centered Robyn O’Brien. Whether you know it or not, you’ve probably been impacted by her work transforming the food industry, after her life changed irrevocably when her daughter had a life-threatening reaction to food, that then turned into a movement, that then changed the entire food industry. Amazing. In our conversation Robyn’s wisdom after wisdom became like a handbook from a wise friend and advisor, as we talk about everything from: 💃🏻 How courage is her personal mantra and the extraordinary changes that happen when you commit to being even 20% braver. ✨ How if you are out there driving change, fear will be riding shotgun, but fear can be an extraordinary North Star. 🔥 How vulnerability is a strength. 🙌🏻 The need to flip the script on imposter syndrome; especially because as women we are pushing against a system that was not, and is not, built for us. 🧡 And the massive economic advantages of the history-making transfer of $30 trillion (more than the national U.S. GDP) in wealth to women, by 2030. There is so much more we cover from being a producer on the just released documentary, Common Ground…
