Recovered Target, Advocate, and Founder of The Kindness Revolution

“We should always aspire to inspire and be the leader we always wished we had.”
— Robin Barnette

A day Robin walked into her therapist’s office took her to her knees. She realized how far she’d fallen out of her power after the devastation of workplace abuse. It was an a-ha moment that catapulted her uphill climb, using faith to know her situation was only temporary, tools like meditation and essential oils (and dark chocolate!) to heal, and courage to use her voice and find her purpose. Now recovered, she spreads the message that we’re targets of workplace abuse because of our power. In this session, you’ll learn tools to help you heal from workplace abuse and know that recovery IS possible.
