Breaking Free from the Loop: James Robbins on Courage, Clarity, and the Call to Climb

What if the patterns you keep experiencing aren't just coincidences, but signs of a deeper loop you're stuck in? Leadership strategist James Robbins had this revelation when he discovered he was living what he calls a "copy-paste life" – experiencing the same challenges, emotions, and even physical ailments on the same dates year after year.

Our conversation explores how we get trapped in these loops and, more importantly, how to break free from them.

At the heart of this discussion is courage – the courage to speak your truth and the courage to be authentically yourself, even when it means facing anxiety or potential rejection. This brings us to what Robbins calls an "appointment with your soul"—a concept inspired by Jungian psychoanalyst Dr. James Hollis. Our soul summons us to conversation, but most people avoid this appointment because it's easier to stay distracted with the busyness of life.

Take time today to ask yourself: What conversation is your soul trying to have with you that you've been avoiding?
