A FEW GOLDEN NUGGETS:

1. When looking for answers, don't forget to look within. Robert shared how years of global wisdom-seeking led him to realize the most important voice is his own. External insights can be helpful—but true clarity comes when you tune into what your inner voice is already telling you.
2. The more secure we are in ourselves, the greater our capacity to show up for others. When you're grounded in your own identity, you're not walking into relationships or conversations needing something—you're able to be present, connected, and truly supportive.
3. The questions we ask ourselves frequently shape the way we see things. Our thoughts are filtered by the questions we ask. One of Robert's favorites is, "Am I in love or in fear right now?" That one question can shift your mindset in powerful ways.
4. Curiosity is a more empowering lens than doubt. Doubt keeps us stuck. Curiosity opens that door to discovery. Reframing your internal dialogue from "What might I learn?" can make all the difference.
5. Self-discovery is a dance, not a destination. You don't need to have everything figu
