Welcome back to I Clearly Have Nothing to Say, the podcast where irony reigns supreme because, let’s face it, we always have something to say! Today’s episode is an absolute gem, featuring a special guest who proves that saying “yes” can open doors to incredible opportunities—and some amazing stories.

My guest, Robyn Cohen, and I had never met before today. Yes, you read that right—complete strangers. But in the spirit of growth and connection, I reached out to her on social media, and she graciously said, “Yes!” This episode is a testament to the magic of saying yes, stepping into the unknown, and discovering the brilliance of someone new.

Robin shares her unforgettable Top 10 List, filled with jaw-dropping moments like:

1. Leaving high school to join a national Broadway tour of Cabaret.
2. Graduating from Juilliard without ever auditioning for a dance company.
3. Being a certified trapeze performer (how cool is that?).
4. Founding her own acting school.
5. Kate Blanchett serving her tea (yes, really!).
6. Rescuing ants—even from toilets.

And that’s just a taste of the vibrant life Robin has led!

But what makes this episode truly special is Robin’s heartfelt reflections on her journey. From her early days cartwheeling through life in Maryland, to performing on some of the most prestigious stages, to rediscovering her purpose and finding joy in the arts, Robin’s story is both inspiring and relatable.

We also dive deep into:

• The mindset of being “always ready, so you don’t have to get ready.”
• The shift from seeking approval to performing for the love of the craft.
• The importance of discipline, resilience, and self-worth in the arts.

Robin’s wisdom will resonate with performers, creatives, and anyone striving to live a life filled with passion and authenticity.
