Dr. Robyn Lynette, aka "Mental MacGyver." With a background that includes being a competitive beach volleyball player, escaping a cult, navigating cartel intervention, and earning a doctorate in business psychology, she thrives at the intersection of executive coaching, therapy, and trusted confidante. If you’re a high-achiever facing pressure, burnout, or life going sideways, she’s the one who can cut through the noise and help you move forward—fast.In this episode, Wendi and Dr. Robyn discuss:The powerful journey from a cult upbringing to becoming a top executive coachHow trauma often appears as hyper-independence and burnout in high achieversWhy traditional therapy or coaching may not work for top performers—and what doesUnderstanding the “3 AM spike” and how to quiet your emotional brain during the dayHer five-point paradigm for transforming chaos into clarity and competitive advantageKey Takeaways:Hyper-independence—often mistaken for strength—is actually a deeply rooted trauma response born from early-life mistrust and lack of support.Dr. Robyn challenges common perceptions by illustrating how impostor syndrome doesn't fade with success but intensifies as one's awareness and responsibility grow at the top.Emotional chaos tends to surface most at night, not because of timing, but due to an entire day spent suppressing the emotional brain while the logical mind dominates.Support systems are redefined—not merely as networks of people, but as a deliberate mix of habits, environments, and relationships that either nourish or quietly dismantle your potential.Instead of piling on productivity hacks, high-achievers often need someone who can hold space for the whole human, messy, brilliant, and capable, beyond titles and accomplishments.“Never feel shame about the person you had to be to become the person that you are, but become the person you're supposed to be. Don't get stuck in the person that you were.” - Dr. Robyn LynetteConnect with Dr. Robyn Lynette:Website: https://mentalmacgyver.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrRobyn TEDx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7HKJn7NDZs Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx12TTCoojg Connect with Wendi Swanson:Website: etymongroup.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/wendiswansonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557265653368 Email: [email protected] notes by Podcastologist: Angelo Paul TagamaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
