We all hold onto things—resentments, regrets, disappointments, expectations, old ideas, and even versions of ourselves that may no longer serve us. On this episode, I talk about why letting go can be so difficult, how holding on can consume more of our energy than we realize, and why releasing what we no longer need can create space for something new. I also share some simple ways we can loosen our grip, while still honoring what we've experienced and what matters most to us.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

We're constantly telling ourselves stories about what's happening in our lives, our relationships, our work, and the world around us. And while some of these stories may be true, many are based on fear, assumptions, and incomplete information. On this episode, I talk about why we tend to fill in the blanks in disempowering ways, especially during times of uncertainty, and how these stories can impact how we feel and how we show up. I also share some simple ways we can separate facts from the stories we're telling ourselves and consciously create narratives that are more accurate, compassionate, and empowering.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

It's easy for whatever is happening right in front of us, especially when it's stressful, frustrating, or scary, to feel bigger than it actually is. On this episode, I talk about the importance of keeping things in perspective and learning to "right-size" the situations we're dealing with. I also discuss how we can take the challenges in our lives seriously without allowing them to consume us, and share some simple ways to give the things we're facing the appropriate amount of attention, energy, and care.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

We're living through a time of significant change, uncertainty, and disruption, which makes it easy to feel overwhelmed or reactive. On this episode, I explore the importance of staying grounded and paying attention to what's actually happening, instead of simply defaulting to our usual patterns. I also discuss how asking, "What does this moment require from me?" or "What does this moment require from us?" can help us show up more effectively in our relationships, our work, our teams, and our lives.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Curiosity Shop Podcast with Brene Brown and Adam Grant

Wanting can inspire us, energize us, and help us create meaningful change, but it can also bring up fear, attachment, and the possibility of disappointment. On this episode, I explore my own complicated relationship with desire, why we sometimes limit our dreams to what seems achievable, and how wanting more can coexist with genuinely appreciating what we already have. I also discuss how we can become more honest about what we truly want, pursue our desires with intention, and remain open to receiving what comes without making our happiness dependent on a specific outcome.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live and work at an incredible pace, creating both excitement and uncertainty. On this episode, I explore why the AI revolution has so much in common with the mergers, reorganizations, and major changes I've spent years helping organizations navigate. I talk about the emotions people experience during times of disruption, why our humanity matters more than ever, and how we can lead ourselves and others with authenticity, resilience, and compassion as we embrace the opportunities and challenges of this new era.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins The Oprah Podcast with Shawn Achor

As AI continues to transform the way we live and work, information has never been more accessible. But in times of rapid change and disruption like these, wisdom becomes even more valuable. On this episode, I explore what wisdom really is, inspired by a definition from my friend Chip Conley, and why tapping into the real lessons we've learned through our lived experience can help us operate and lead with greater clarity, compassion, and authenticity in a world that needs more human wisdom than ever right now.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins The Midlife Chrysalis Podcast with Chip Conley Modern Elder Academy

From championship parades and graduation ceremonies to personal milestones and everyday wins, there are many reasons to celebrate. Yet so often, we wait for something big to happen before we give ourselves permission to pause and acknowledge our progress. On this episode, I talk about the importance of celebration, why many of us have a hard time slowing down long enough to appreciate how far we've come, and how making more room for joy, gratitude, and recognition can deepen our connection to ourselves and the people around us.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

With all the disruption, uncertainty, and rapid change happening in our world today, especially with the rise of AI and new technologies, it can be easy to overlook one of our most fundamental needs: human connection. On this episode, I talk about why connection matters more than ever right now, how it impacts our well-being, relationships, and performance, and what we can do to stay connected to ourselves and each other in a world that often pulls us apart.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Oprah podcast interview with Esther Perel

We often feel pressure to respond, react, fix, or take action quickly when challenges, conflicts, or uncertainties arise. On this episode, I talk about why sometimes the wisest and most effective choice is to pause, wait, and resist the urge to act immediately (if at all). I explore the difference between intentional non-action and avoidance, the role patience and trust play in decision-making, and how creating space can often lead to greater clarity, perspective, and better outcomes.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

Winning and losing are part of life, whether in sports, work, relationships, or our personal journey. On this episode, I talk about the role perspective plays in how we experience success and setbacks, why losses often teach us as much as wins, and how the meaning we make of our experiences can shape who we become.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Oprah interviews the co-founders of Anthropic (podcast)

As we launch my new website this week, I've been thinking a lot about updates, changes, and growth. On this episode, I share a powerful experience I had in meditation that gave me a visual of the "source code" of life and inspired me to think about the beliefs, stories, and patterns that shape us. I share ways we can identify and let go of limiting beliefs, update the internal code we're operating from, and intentionally create new ways of thinking, being, and showing up.   Resources: Mike Robbins Website (Newly Updated) Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins

With everything happening in our lives, businesses, and in the world right now, many of us are trying to protect our peace and manage the overwhelm, stress, and uncertainty. On this episode, I talk about the difference between creating healthy boundaries and emotionally checking out, why it's so important to stay grounded without becoming disconnected, and how we can care deeply about what matters while still protecting our energy, well-being, and humanity.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky
