About Robyn Gold

Not being present almost killed me. For most of my life, I felt misunderstood, easily overwhelmed, and disconnected from my body. Even though I was a trauma therapist for over a decade, I spent most of that time avoiding my own emotional discomfort.

After many years of compulsive binge eating to self-soothe, I was hospitalized and diagnosed with dangerously uncontrolled diabetes in 2018. As scary as it was, it was also the wake up call I needed to start living differently.

Being present saved my life. Regularly practicing mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork, along with many years of support from an incredibly gifted therapist, enabled me to make sustainable changes that not only reversed diabetes, but created space for profound emotional healing.

While this may seem like a nice, neat little ending, living mindfully isn’t a destination I’ve reached. It’s a moment to moment choice that’s not always easy, but always feels worthwhile. My ongoing practice continues to enrich my life, and has exponentially expanded my capacity to support others from a deeper place of understanding and lived experience.

I created Growing With Gold to share the tools, insights, and lessons I’ve learned (and continue to learn), both personally and professionally. I know how abstract practicing mindfulness can feel when you’ve spent your whole life trying to get anywhere other than this moment. The coaching and resources I offer make it practical to support you wherever you are in your journey.
