The Liberated Life - Set Yourself Free in Business and Pleasure

This one's personal. I was the martyr for years — I inherited it from my mom, who was always the bigger person, always said yes, and whose quiet reward was bitterness. Here's the day I saw I was choosing the same role, and what I did about it. Most of us think we're being kind — until the flash of annoyance hits. You agreed to help. You said, "Of course, no problem." And then you're irritated, maybe resentful, replaying it in the car wondering why you always end up being the one who bends. In this episode, it's just you and me on the difference between a clean yes — chosen, and meant — and the yes-that-meant-no that quietly runs up a debt you'll be collecting on for weeks. We name the trap almost no one says out loud: the quiet martyr, the one who keeps saying yes, keeps absorbing the cost, and privately waits to be appreciated for a sacrifice nobody asked them to make. The catch? No one else can see the ledger you've been keeping. Here's the part that puts the power back in your hands: every yes you don't mean teaches two lessons at once — you teach yourself your "no" doesn't count, and you teach other people how to treat you. So we walk through a simple, repeatable process to change it: Notice — catch the moment your automatic yes arrives faster than your honest one Name — why "I don't know yet" is one of the most honest sentences you own Negotiate — the third door most people miss, and why disappointment is information, not an instruction You'll leave with a 24-hour practice, a sentence you can use the next time you need more time to answer, and permission to let your yes mean yes again. Companion essay on Substack: "The Yes That's Been Costing You." If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

We're taught that staying calm, letting it go, and being the bigger person is the mature, high-road move. But sometimes "keeping the peace" is just another way of abandoning yourself — and every time you swallow it, smooth it over, or let it slide, you're quietly teaching people what you'll tolerate. In this episode, Robin Quinn Keehn unpacks the difference between real calm — the kind rooted in self-trust and clear boundaries — and the performance of calm that slowly erodes your self-respect. You'll learn why the calmest person in the room actually holds the most authority, how to tell when "being gracious" has tipped into self-betrayal, and what it sounds like to say the last calm word in a way that keeps you honest instead of just keeping everyone else comfortable. If you've ever walked away from a conversation calm on the outside and hollow on the inside, this one's for you. In this episode: • Why "being the bigger person" can be self-betrayal in disguise • The difference between keeping the peace and keeping your integrity • How staying silent teaches people what you'll tolerate • What the calmest, most grounded response actually sounds like

There's a specific kind of heartbreak that doesn't happen the moment a promise is broken — it happens later, when you realize they were never who they said they were. And it doesn't just take your future; it rewrites your past. In this episode, Robin sits with the two kinds of broken promises — the ones others make to us, and the ones we quietly break to ourselves — and the one thing they both erode: self-trust. You'll hear: • Why the deepest wound isn't when they lied — it's the moment you knew and didn't listen • How to read the pattern: believe patterns, not promises • Why we override our own knowing (and what it costs us) • How to rebuild self-trust — starting with the smallest promises to yourself The takeaway: self-trust isn't the absence of people who let you down. It's the presence of a self you refuse to abandon. This week's invitation: make one small promise to yourself — and keep it.

I was walking on a beach when God said something I wasn't ready to hear. Not comfort. Not ease. Peace. "If you don't bring me peace, you don't get a place at my table." I thought I understood what that meant. I didn't. I thought protecting my peace meant cutting out anyone who challenged me. But challenge is not the enemy of peace — emotional hijacking is. Some people don't challenge you. They hijack you. You leave every interaction drained, defensive, replaying the conversation in the shower at 2am. That's not growth — it's an open loop quietly stealing your energy, and it won't close itself. If you're tired of draining relationships that never change, this episode gives you a way to discern who belongs at your table — and the courage to stop setting a place for those who don't. In this episode: • The difference between a holy challenge and emotional hijacking • The "aftermath test" — one question that reveals who stays at your table • 4 practical steps to protect your peace — no drama, no guilt • Why protecting your peace is stewardship, not selfishness This is the heart of Stop Stealing From Yourself — starting with the relationships you keep saying yes to.

They share real, personal stories (including the time Robin was so triggered she literally fainted), the science of the amygdala without the jargon, and the practical tools that help you slow down and respond instead of react. In this episode: • What emotional hijacking actually is — and why the airplane metaphor fits • How AI-generated misinformation is hijacking millions of us daily • The physical signs you're being hijacked (heat, spinning, going blank) • Why identity threats hit harder than almost anything else • "Steady neutral" and calm authority — how the calmest person in the room holds the most power • The ONE genuine question that can change a heated conversation • Why silence is one of the most powerful tools you have — and the story of 5 minutes of silence that changed a man's life If you've ever lost yourself in a moment you wish you could take back, this conversation will change how you respond.

Tired of the constant mental chatter? Feeling drained by unresolved issues and endless to-do lists? You're a high-performer, always striving for excellence. But that drive often comes with a hidden cost: a mind full of "open loops" – those nagging thoughts, unfinished tasks, and unresolved conflicts that silently steal your energy. In this powerful discussion, we dive deep into the concept of neutrality – not as indifference, but as a strategic superpower for the exhausted high-achiever. Discover how embracing neutrality can help you: Stop the energy drain: Learn to identify and close those "open loops" that keep you mentally busy and emotionally depleted. Navigate conflict with calm: Instead of reacting and escalating, find your "defining moment" to manage situations with steady, anchored presence, even when things matter deeply. Reclaim your peace and sanity: Understand how to pause, gain clarity, and avoid the knee-jerk reactions that lead to bigger problems and deeper exhaustion. Transform relationships: Discover how a neutral stance can foster understanding, prevent damage, and create space for genuine repair, even in your most challenging interactions. Unlock more solutions: See how stepping back from immediate judgment and reaction opens up a world of possibilities and empowers you to find more effective outcomes. We'll explore practical strategies like: Noticing the "surge": Identifying what triggers your emotional reactions. Questioning your "story": Challenging your ingrained beliefs about situations and people. Asking for clarity: Slowing down conversations to truly understand, rather than assume. "Eating your popcorn": Observing situations without getting emotionally entangled. If you're ready to move beyond constant reaction and cultivate a powerful inner calm that fuels your performance without burning you out, this video is for you. Learn how to be present, hear clearly, and manage yourself so you don't "give up your sanity or your peace." Don't let open loops dictate your energy. Tap into the power of neutrality and reclaim your focus, peace, and effectiveness. If this resonated, there's probably an open loop of your own worth closing. My free Close the Loop tool walks you through it in about 15 minutes — a gentle place to start.

In this episode: • Why we really avoid hard conversations (it's rarely "keeping the peace") • The four hidden costs of avoidance — the 2am rehearsal, the resentment that "builds the bomb," the slow drift, and the erosion of your own self-trust • How to get clear on what you actually want before you speak • How to "open it soft" so the truth gets through instead of hitting a wall of defense • Why their pushback means the conversation is working — not failing • Emotional stamina: the skill of staying steady, and why it's a muscle you build with reps The conversation is the way forward. This week: name one loop, get clear on what you want, and take one real step toward having it.

Sometimes resentment does not begin with a dramatic betrayal. Sometimes it begins in the small moment when you said yes before you were clear.  In this episode of The Liberated Life, Robin Quinn Keehn explores the quiet cost of the resentful yes — the yes that looks generous on the outside but feels dishonest on the inside. She unpacks the difference between a clean yes and a yes given from fear, guilt, image management, habit, or avoidance.  Through personal stories and practical language, Robin shows how unclear commitments become Open Loops: unfinished truths that quietly drain time, energy, peace, and trust. This episode is not about becoming selfish, unavailable, or unwilling to sacrifice. It is about becoming honest. It is about learning to pause before agreeing, renegotiate when needed, and close the loop with clarity before resentment becomes distance.  If you have been the dependable one, the flexible one, the easy one, or the one who always makes it work, this conversation will help you listen to resentment without weaponizing it — and begin rebuilding self-trust one honest sentence at a time.  Free resource:  Download the free Close One Loop tool at closetheloopsnow.com/tool.  Coming June 29 Robin's 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge will help you identify the unfinished commitments, conversations, and quiet yeses that keep draining your time, energy, and peace.

A lot of us are tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. We're doing the things — the work, the list, the showing up — and still, something is pulling at us. A low hum of unfinished. For years, Robin Quinn Keehn thought that hum was a personal failing: not disciplined enough, not organized enough. It wasn't any of that. It was Open Loops. This is the backbone episode of the show — the one to send anyone who's new. Robin defines an Open Loop plainly (a commitment, promise, or agreement that's unfinished, incomplete, or outdated, quietly draining your time, energy, and peace), then walks through the three kinds almost all of us carry: Relational Loops with other people, Self-Loops — the promises we break to ourselves — and Unspoken Brokens, the things that needed to be said and never were. You'll hear why loops stay open (it's avoidance, not discipline), what they actually cost — especially what broken self-promises do to your confidence — and the three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, or recommit to it, on purpose. This is also where Robin introduces the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge, starting June 29. In this episode: What an Open Loop actually is — and why it stays quiet The three kinds: Relational Loops, Self-Loops, and Unspoken Brokens Why broken promises to yourself quietly erode your confidence Why open loops are an avoidance problem, not a discipline problem The real cost: time, energy, peace — and belief in yourself The three ways to close any loop: end it, evolve it, recommit to it An invitation to the free 5-Day Detox Your To-Do List Challenge (starts June 29) If this episode resonated with you, you might enjoy our free People Skillz community — a structured space to practice steadier, more intentional communication.

When something feels off with someone we care about, most of us don't blow up. We go quiet. We change the subject. We say "it's fine." We tell ourselves we're being kind, being mature, keeping the peace. But silence is rarely neutral. When we go quiet, we think we're closing the subject — and instead we're leaving it wide open, handing the other person a blank space to fill with their own story. Usually a worse one than the truth. In this episode, Robin Keehn looks at the engine underneath resentment: going quiet. The many polite costumes it wears, the reasons we reach for it, and the real cost — trust that erodes in the unsaid, distance that grows one quiet day at a time. She offers an honest test for telling wise restraint apart from avoidance, and a small place to start: one sentence, beginning with "Here's what I've noticed." This episode builds on Episode 1 (How Resentment Quietly Builds) and pairs with Robin's piece The Apology No One Thinks to Give. In this episode: Why we go quiet instead of saying the hard thing The polite costumes silence wears — "it's fine," the dropped subject, the slow pull-back How to tell wise restraint apart from avoidance What silence actually does: the story the other person invents, the erosion of trust, the growing distance Why "keeping the peace" often means keeping the loop open How to start with one honest sentence — and what to do when the other person is already gone  Ready to Close Your Loops?

How Resentment Quietly Builds In this episode of The Liberated Life Podcast, Robin Keehn opens a new conversation about what happens underneath our relationships — especially when something needed to be said, but wasn't. Resentment does not usually arrive all at once. It accumulates. A tone. A look. A changed plan. A moment of being overlooked. A “yes” that should have been a “no.” None of these may seem dramatic on its own, but together they begin to form a story. Robin shares how resentment often grows in the space between what happened and what was never spoken. She introduces the idea of an Open Loop — something unfinished, incomplete, or outdated that continues draining your time, energy, and peace — and an Unspoken Broken, a relational loop that stays open because it was never named. You'll hear why resentment is not always proof that the other person is bad. Sometimes it is a signal that something remains unfinished. In this episode, Robin talks about:  How resentment quietly accumulates over time Why small moments can carry a surprising amount of weight The difference between truly releasing something and simply not bringing it up How “always” and “never” stories begin to form in relationships Why unspoken moments become Open Loops What an Unspoken Broken is and why it matters How to begin with “Here's what I've noticed” instead of an accusation The two questions to ask before having a hard conversation: Why am I sharing this?What do I actually want here? Why closing one loop can begin to restore your time, energy, and peace “Resentment is interest on a debt nobody named.” Where have you gone quiet — and what has that silence been costing you?

Make sure your talk is going to resonate by asking what brought them today, what they hope to learn, what their experience has been, etc. When speaking on Zoom, arrive early and engage with people there. Use the chat. Invite people to answer your questions in the chat so you can hear from more people.

Having others to support us in our goals is critical to our success. =================Need a fresh perspective on a situation or mindset?

Many of these emotions are triggered by communication, including emails, app notifications, and text messages. These triggers invite us to pay attention to what's below the surface. If we feel anger, what is beneath the anger? Is it indignation or injustice, or disrespect? It's good for us to begin to notice what's bothering us or triggering us.

Get David's new book here: Mouseintheroom.comGet updates from Robin on her upcoming Purge for Peace:  robin@quittingculture.comShow Notes: There's a mouse in the room…because the elephant is not alone. The mouse represents our unspoken, unexpressed feelings, thoughts, and body sensations that have a real impact on our experiences and our relationships. They are unspoken because we spend so much time trying to get what we want and trying not to get in trouble at the same time. When we're willing to risk being more truthful in an artful way life gets better.The Mouse in the Room is more subtle.  The mouse may be a disappointment you experienced; something that happened that you still have a feeling about. It may be something you need to confess to from years ago. It could be something you desire but have not had the courage to express. Speaking the truth about these mice frees up energy for me.  We can not underestimate what it can do for the other person. The reason we don't name our mice: it can be awkward. It can be challenging. But we demonstrate our leadership when we are willing to.Find out more and join the 'Mouse Naming Movement' here.    

Find Elizabeth HEREGet her gift, The 5 Strategies of Dedicated Listening here. About ElizabethElizabeth is an award-winning school principal with over 35 years of teaching, administration, and coaching experience. Elizabeth's passion for transforming this broken, violent, and socially isolated environment of dysfunction into a space of courageous conversations is the catalyst for her work and her upcoming book. When she's not working with youth and parents, Elizabeth enjoys distance running, writing, travel adventures, fine food, wine, the ocean, and life! She lives in Calgary, Alberta Canada with her partner and their curly, cuddly dog.  Show NotesOne of the biggest challenges for parents today is being present and emotionally available. Distractions and sometimes relaxed or unclear boundaries with our children contribute to the difficulty in relationships. Social media tends to lead to less communication and fewer conversations between parents and their children.We can learn how to connect with our children no matter their age.  We need to make time to be fully available. It is very helpful to be curious, interested and engaged when we're talking/listening to our children. When we come from curiosity, it gives our children space to express their ideas and an acknowledgment of them. It tells them that they can have an opinion, too. Tips for Communication from Elizabeth (these are all skills that can be learned):When communicating with our children listen from a place of wanting to understand, not judge. Give kids time to find a flow in the conversation. Make yourself available to them for at least 20 minutes a day (with no distractions). ================Find Robin hereSchedule a complimentary call with Robin here.

And know that you have resources to share. Figure out where the gaps are so you can fill those in.

Find Erik: erikluhrs.comConnect with Erik for a complimentary 'One Question Power Session'. Find Robin: quittingculture.comTalk with Robin (Complimentary 15 minute call)Notes:If you want things to change, you have to become somebody new (to get different results).When you work from your higher self things flow.Quantum leaps in business come from quantum leaps in your beingness.We bring our ‘art' to the world. If we go into business with a purpose, mission, or passion, then we bring our heart into our business and that's when the magic happens. About compromise: As soon as you make one accommodation, you're willing to subvert your higher self and you'll do it again and again. Subverting your higher self won't bring you happiness.  We also need to look at innovation as a key component to standing out (breaking the mold of what's already being done in the marketplace). The more disruptive you are, the more unique and memorable you are. You even create your own niche by innovating and disrupting the status quo. The higher you go, the more slings and arrows come your way. Not because you're wrong, but because people become jealous when other people rise.  Keep going.

She is a college graduate and is a Certified Educational Planner. Shellee has a son who graduated from Harvard in the spring of 2016 debt free! Her son is currently a third-year medical student at UC San Diego.Her daughter completed her freshman year at the University of Alabama and will complete her Nursing degree this year. Shellee has traveled around the world helping students plan for their “perfect match” college. She knows what it takes to compete in the Ivy schools as well as finding the best fit for all students. Shellee believes that no two students are the same and each student must have their own strategy and plan to be successful. Each student has a gift/talent and a passion that will set him or her apart from their competition. Getting to know your student one on one is the key to success. This can be done in person or via Zoom. College Ready has clients all over the world and each one is important. Her focus is to find the best academic, financial and social fit college for each student to thrive at and graduate debt free!Show NotesYou don't always need to go to the most expensive college.  There are three things to base your college decision on:The right academic fitThe right social fitThe right financial fitSometimes, It's not where you graduate from, it's how well you do in college.It's important to help your kids make their college choice. It is a huge decision with many implications.  You can begin the college conversation very early by planting the seed about going to college so you can have a bigger conversation with kids when they are in grade school.The process of preparing should really start when they graduate from eighth grade.  These questions will help you and your child determine where they should go and what they may want to study. What are you passionate about?What are your core values?What are you good at?If you start early, getting college-ready can be gentle and fun….When they're older, it ends up feeling more like firehouse preparation….Colleges are not looking at what you're doing to impress them. Instead, they are looking at your passion that leads to a purpose that allows you to demonstrate your leadership.Colleges want to know how you will stand out….They want to see and want students to see their uniqueness. They want to see:Early community serviceEarly demonstration of a passionEarly demonstration of leadershipCollege Ready works with students one-on-one and creates a 'Standout Strategy' for each student. They work together to create their college-ready resume based on that strategy. Their clients have someone on their side every step of the way.Two big questions that Shelle gets asked by parents every day:How do I know what my student is passionate about?How do I pick the right college?Shellee asks them those questions and records them for parents so they can hear their answers.Have someone ‘safe' do this with your child….it's different being asked by someone who is curious and from whom they feel no judgment.

She inspires families raising children on the autism spectrum to find hope, purpose, and clarity even amid the stress and chaos the atypical parenting journey brings. You can have the peace and calm you seek on the home front, the purposeful and intentional family relationship you desire, and claim back the life you thought is no longer yours. From living a life of reactive chaos at the homefront as a norm, it is time to get proactive and create the harmony and best possible life for our family by leveraging TODAY to support a better future for you and your family. Our transformation begins with our one purposeful step every day.Find Stephanie: https://beyond-special.com/Show Notes: Having a child who is on the Autism Spectrum can be completely overwhelming and all-consuming. It's very important to care for yourself so that you can have the energy to care for your family. If you're not feeling excited about life, if you dread the day knowing what is ahead, you can take small steps toward more happiness.The question Stephanie asks herself is: What can I do today to make tomorrow easier?Focus on just one thing. What is the ONE thing you can do today to make tomorrow easier? Those things compound. Those daily things add up over time and you'll see the progress. For Stephanie, it initially was waking up earlier. Having a quiet cup of tea. It eventually became spending 5 minutes each day teaching her daughter to get dressed. Our worries about our kids are valid but they do not help us move forward.Instead of worrying, ask the empowering question, what can I do today to make tomorrow easier. It gives us more hope, more courage, and encouragement to keep taking small steps forward toward thriving, not just surviving. ==============

Pacale is the Founder of Parent Lead CoachingFind Robin: quitproofkids.comShow Notes: To be in communication with our teens, we must be willing and able to adapt our parenting style. The basis of communication is listening. No matter how the world changes (technology, challenges, concerns) at the end of the day, our kids are humans and humans basically stay the same with the same needs for love and acceptance.  We have to be able to see the person in front of us and look at their heart and see the value in what they are bringing. Whatever your teenager reflects back to you, you can use it to adjust your parenting and be relevant to them.

Find Angelica  (aka Sita Sadhana Kaur):Radiant Relationships  www.angelicaisisazura.comAbout Angelica: I am a proud mother of two beautiful girls. 15 years ago, after a very bad conflict at work, I discovered personal development books for myself. I set on a journey to master the art of life, to understand who I was, to find my life purpose, and most of all to understand why my life was actually not the way I wanted it to be. I spent 15 years going through the dark sides of my soul. I was caught in the drama of an emotionally and physically abusive relationship for 10 years. After my marriage dissolved I had to face the consequences of the years of abuse and self-neglect. I was suffering from PTSD. The journey to healing was not an easy one, yet it had its profound gifts for me. I experienced true healing and found my passion to help women break free from the grip of toxic relationships. I use my own intuition, Inner child work, Akashic Records, and Kundalini Yoga technology to bring true transformation into women's lives.Find Robin  www.QuittingCulture.com
