A Little Hello From The FOUNDER:
Thanks for being here!
I want to take a second to introduce myself & give you just a little bit of insight as to who I am, where I came from & why in the world, I’ve created robyntanner.com
First and foremost, I love Care Bears, Cardigans and Jesus Christ.
The beach is my peaceful happy refueling energizing safe creative space.
I adore wildlife, but squirrels, goats, rabbits & raccoons are my absolute stop-and-stare favorites.
I tell stories with pictures and have a house full of wall art life lessons & quotes, which my two amazing kickass kids think I have way too many of.
But they keep me Sane, Focused, Driven & Determined to Dream Bigger.
I hate crowds, coffee and complainers.
Love tea, pizza and have a serious can’t say no to chips and salsa and a good glass of red wine problem.
BUT Best of All, I'm Your Transformation Coach, Your Speaker, Your Voice of Truth in the middle of your mess, lowest of lows and highest of highs.

What the heck does that mean?
It means, you're actually living the life you Love
You're Authentic
You're Genuine
You Are Real
And you get up every day excited with passion and purpose and a plan.
Now, it doesn't mean that life doesn't happen and we get a free pass.

Armored With Faith & Fortitude
Sometimes that takes some tough love, some transparency and a whole lot of tenacity. But I’ll help you get there.
I've been coaching clients for 26 years and founded my business more than 7 years ago.
NOW, I’m reigniting my own life and career as I transition into motivational, inspirational, and empowering speaking on topics like adversity, resiliency, confidence and courage. I call it Facing Your Giants.
I’m also finally living my dream as a writer and becoming a published author this year!
But you know what???????
Sometimes, I'm just as scared or frustrated and as impatient as you may be. BUT it's my Faith in God and it's my Faith in my Future Self and it’s my Faith in my Fortitude that Keeps Me Going because I know where I've come from and how far away that place is now.
Thanks for being here!

MY MESSES HELP YOU MAKE LESS
Heartache despair grief death divorce health issues chronic pain eating disorders weight gain weight loss financial ruin homelessness eviction addictions rejection abandonment affairs lies betrayal - I pretty much can cover the whole nine yards.
Not to mention, I was in the FIGHT for MY LIFE 8 years ago and on my deathbed after I was struck with a rare infection that overtook my spine, my bones, my body & my legs. It sent me into emergency surgery. It took part of my spine and left me living me with daily chronic painful pain
I was really, really sick
Death had come for me and I shouldn't be here today, BUT by His Grace
I AM.
So, in a nutshell, I use my messes to help you make less.
I use my experiences, my adversities and my stories to help you THROUGH whatever yours is. I have held a ridiculous number of certifications and licenses in fitness, health, lifestyle management, PLUS a degree in Organizational Communication, but blah, blah, blah – nobody really cares about all that.

And one last thing,
Start listening to your inside self.
It’s got Something So Special in Store for your Future Self.
My story is too long for a 2-minute website read. So here is a sliver. I hope you might find some relatability.
I grew up middle class. Never had abundance. But always had just enough.
Lived in the shadows of a sibling's fires, which taught me to take care of my own independent little me. Taught me resilience. Taught me how to make it happen, keep going, never give up, you got this mindset - it is what my inside voice learned to chime in every time I felt alone or defeated.
I was creative. Into dance and journalism, writing my own stories and reading books. I still see the little me laying on the floor looking up at my bulletin board on the back of my bedroom door. I had cut out and pinned a magazine quote from William Arthur Ward, “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”
Today, my house is full of quotes and signs and boards still battling for better dreams.
I was blessed with 4 parents, but somehow I fell short of feeling filled up and always felt second best, back burner and in the shadows of everything else.
NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST
I fell in love with fitness at 15. And started teaching it at 19. Found out real fast, I was a badass at making up fitness routines and coaching others to challenge themselves physically.
But I fought eating disorders. Jellybeans and diet pills were not exactly nutritious for a personal trainer living healthily.
Went bankrupt in college after I realized all those damn credit cards they gave you added up and weren’t really free.
Full of wanderlust, I traveled freely meeting strangers and partying it up, pretending to be anybody, but me. Hitchhiked and learned how to scuba dive the same week I had knee surgery. I never let anything scare me or hold me back from adventuring.
Boxed in the ring. Blew out my shoulder but got right back up and kept fighting until the bell rang over me.
THE BIGGEST BATTLE IS YOU vs. YOU
I was fearless and scrappy and hungry for something more
Love
Desire
Significance
Some kind of importance
It was always a war within me
I got married, had two kids. Was a stay at home mom driving a fancy SUV. It was the epitome of living the American dream.
Then life happened one too many times. Started lying. Started hiding. Started living a double life. It weighed me down and started killing everything inside of me.
Then one day, I got really sick and found myself in the battle for my life at just the young age of 36.
I was struck with a rare infection that invaded way too much of me. I was misdiagnosed. I was ignored. I was shoved aside. I was left to die as the infection grew stronger inside of me.
Septic. ICU. Emergency surgery. And then God stepped in and saved me. All the while, I watched my stepmother die way too young from ovarian cancer. Taken from me. I was Pissed. Sad. And lonely.
HURT & HEALING SIMULTANEOUSLY
Survivors guilt. PTSD. Chronic pain from surgery. Nerve pain, dead leg. My body parts that look just fine but don’t work the way they fully should be.
My marriage got lost and died. A sad divorce that sometimes still pains me. Lots of regrets turned lessons because salvation saved me from beating myself up over all the do-overs you think about but never get to live out.
Now I believe all our choices bring us up to date and exactly where we should be. Even when it looks ugly.
Then I met a boy who changed everything about the old me. Brought me to life, YET also killed so many parts inside of me. Unhealthiest relationship I ever had, BUT grew me & rose me up from the dead.
Founded a business that grew from a dirt field. Finding out real fast how entrepreneurship is an unending rollercoaster with no harness or seatbelts protecting you as you free fall into your hopes and dreams while living a very uncertain reality.
FACING FAILURES FORWARD
There has been financial ruin multiples times. Abusive behaviors and more lies. Emotional emptiness. Mental tornadoes gripping most of the beginning trying to figure out life starting over. And over. And over.
There’s been death, divorce, and more surgeries. A broken nose, breast explant and the joy of finding a final Forever Love thagt is still growing every darn day.
There’s been rejection and abandonment issues alongside the rainbows and sunshine and unicorn days where overnight success seems to fall in place so simply.
I’m unconventional. Write like I speak and still say ain't and ya'll. I don’t care about misspellings or punctuation. It’s the content in my message, my heart, my passion and my mission for better that matters when I’m spilling my story and helping you walk a path to better.
I still curse. Drink some wine. And love peanut butter M&Ms.
I am way better than I was. But NOWHERE near being done. It’s just nice knowing God sticks with you through all the messy stuff.
I’m sure I missed something. But that’s enough for now. Once you get to know me. You’ll see I’m nobody different or better or more ahead of the game. I’m just listening to the force relentlessly pursuing that life living inside of me.
