About
Hi there! I’m Robyn- Canadian mom, avid reader, and founder of the Grow Mama Podcast
Enneagram 2, INFJ... I live for cozy evenings at home with a good book, hot black coffee, and a cuddle pile of animals
ONCE UPON A TIME
I left my career as a Registered Nurse to stay home full-time with my babies. It felt like a dream. Until it... wasn't.
It was a gradual awakening - covertly reading “unapproved” and "secular" books on a secret folder on my phone, searching for answers. Actually thinking through the things I had accepted without question as the way life ought to be. Wrestling though the gaslighting by pouring out my confusion in a journal I kept hidden. A pivotal moment of action that changed the trajectory of my life. Deconstructing the toxic faith that kept me submissive and silent. Reading books literally saved my life.
I created the Grow Mama Podcast to help moms break free from the pressure to be everything for everyone—and rediscover who they truly are
Designed for the mom who’s ready to stop surviving and start living again, this podcast is your invitation to freedom, authenticity, and joy in the everyday.
Being a mom doesn’t necessarily mean putting your personal growth on pause.
My goal with the Grow Mama Podcast is to bring you inspiring lessons and life-changing ideas from bestselling self-help books - so you can grow, reflect, and breathe a little easier, even on your busiest days. It’s like your book club for the soul—no reading required.
