I interviewed James Robbins today on my podcast, My Love of Life Energy. Author of The Call to Climb.

I hadn’t met James before today. Yet when I glanced through his Instagram, I felt a warmth in my chest, the kind that says: yes, this will be good.

And it was.

From the moment he began, his words pulled me in. He calls himself “not a great writer.” But as I scrolled through the first three chapters of his book, I found myself leaning forward, hungry for more, clicking purchase without hesitation.

I’ve spent most of my adult life seeking, trying to improve myself, trying to find “the truth.” I studied with masters like Fernando Flores, Toby Hecht, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Wendy Palmer, Pema Chödrön, Tony Robbins, Donny Epstein, and the late Sydney Banks. I explored somatic work, breathwork, and psychedelics. I was committed to my growth.
