Episode description as stored
In this episode What if you stopped waiting to feel motivated and simply started? In this episode of Real Chat with Kat, we dive into the powerful idea that meaningful change doesn’t have to begin with a giant leap—it can begin with just 30 seconds. We explore the 30-Second Method, building self-trust by keeping small promises to yourself, taking action before motivation arrives, and shifting from “I want to be” to “I am.” We also talk about comparison, community, identity, and what it really takes to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go according to plan. Meet my guest Robyn Godfrey is a TEDx speaker, keynote speaker, author, and creator of The 30-Second Shift™ methodology. After more than 20 years in corporate sales, Robyn decided to make a change. At 47, she started running with just 30 seconds on a treadmill—a tiny decision that eventually led her to complete all six World Marathon Majors and write her bestselling memoir, Running the World. Robyn’s journey is about so much more than running. Through hurricanes, a global pandemic, wildfires, an earthquake, and supporting her husband through Stage 4 throat cancer, she continued pursuing a goal that once seemed impossible. Her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to be naturally talented, perfectly prepared, or endlessly motivated to create extraordinary change. Sometimes, you just need to find your 30 seconds—and start. Quote/Piece of Advice: Find what your 30 seconds is. If you are wanting to accomplish a certain go or dream, you can totally do it.   Connect with Robyn: Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Youtube Robyn's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Running-Runners-Odyssey-Struggle-Marathon/dp/B0F8T82X9L TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1xUzBNJQgc&list=PLGGJ7mwdsniw To connect with your host Kat: @TheLotusEffect or @KatPolsinelli My Website: www.the-lotus-effect.com Subscribe to my Youtube Channel 👇 https://www.youtube.com/@the-lotus-effect
