Are you Done
with the pressure of perfection?
You’re an ambitious, high-achieving woman who is proud of your drive, but exhausted by the pressure that comes with it.
You’re stuck in habits that don’t feel aligned, caught in all-or-nothing thinking, or feeling disconnected from the confident version of yourself that you used to know.
I help you clear the noise, shift your perspective, and build simple, powerful practices that bring you back to clarity, self-trust, and a life that actually feels good on the inside, not just polished on the outside.
Believe you can and you're halfway there.
Start believing, and I'll guide you the rest of the way
Hi, I'm Robin McIntire
Certified Life & Empowerment Coach
CPC, ELI-MP, CTDS
I’ve spent a lot of my life looking like I had it all together- on the outside. But inside, I was often carrying the quiet pressure to be perfect, to figure it out alone, and to never let the cracks show. I know what it’s like to feel stuck in habits that don’t reflect who you want to be, to lose momentum, or to wonder why you can’t seem to “just snap out of it.” The truth is, I’ve lived through my own unraveling more than once. And every time, it’s shaped me into the coach I am today.
Being stuck in bulimia during high school taught me how damaging self-loathing behaviors can lead to darkness, secrecy, and an emotional black hole. It also taught me that not getting professional help prolonged my suffering.
A significant bump in our marriage years ago taught me that my unhealthy perfection and co-dependency were part of our problem. (And I thought it was all his fault!) Thankfully, we invested in therapy and will be celebrating our 42nd anniversary in 2024!
More Silver Linings
Being an unsure Entrepreneur taught me that guilt and not feeling successful enough was creating more indecision and questions about my worthiness. I still wonder today where I’d be if I hadn’t hired a coach (that, by the way, I couldn’t afford)!
My relationship with alcohol taught me how easy it is to get into a rut and lose trust in my self-promises and that “fun” choices can turn into unwanted habits that are harder than we think to break. In 2021, I honored my vision of becoming a women who doesn’t drink. I can’t put a price on the freedom I feel from that decision.
My challenges led me to therapy, and coaching, and along the way, I fell in love with Personal Development. Without the clarity I got from coaching, I believe I’d still be a personal trainer wishing I could help women on a deeper level.
What Becomes Possible When You Release the Pressure
- Living without the need to know and do it all perfectly.
- Getting honest about what’s not working. Without shame.
- Accepting the parts of ourselves we used to avoid.
- Taking action, even when we’re not 100% ready.
- Building habits that feel aligned, not guilt-driven.
- Trusting ourselves and learning from missteps, not beating ourselves up.
- Staying ahead of the habits that no longer serve us.
- Remembering that happiness doesn’t come from performance. It starts within.
- Meeting uncertainty with self-trust instead of fear.
- Practicing self-compassion like it’s a skill (because it is).
- Choosing growth. Even when it’s scary.
- Knowing that asking for help is brave, not weak.
- Choosing grace over judgment. And feeling more confident, clear, and free because of it.
- Having less self-judgment and experiencing more Confidence, Peace, and JOY!
Professional Credentials
I’ve been championing women in different ways for 42 years. I believe it’s all led to what I’m doing now as a Certified Life and Transitions coach, and I couldn’t be happier or feel more grateful.
When I found IPEC, I was looking for an accredited, globally-recognized coach training school, so I could gain strong credibility as a professional coach. With 20+ years as an ICF-accredited program, iPEC stands out in the world of coach training with accreditations and partnerships.
This chapter of supporting and guiding women to get more connected to themselves (self-awareness and a higher consciousness) is the most rewarding work I’ve ever done.
