Stop Stealing From Yourself: Closing the Open Loops That Drain Your Energy with Robin Quinn Keehn

What if the unfinished conversations, unspoken boundaries, broken promises, and unresolved resentment in your life are quietly stealing your time, energy, and peace? In this episode of Start Somewhere Podcast, we’re joined by Robin Quinn Keehn, Human Dynamics Specialist, Certified Mediator, and author of Stop Stealing From Yourself. Robin introduces us to the idea of “Open Loops” — the situations we leave unresolved because we avoid a difficult conversation, fail to set a boundary, or keep putting our own needs aside. Robin shares lessons from her own journey of being the “strong one,” the peacemaker, and the over-giver, and explains how constantly prioritizing others can cause us to abandon ourselves. Together, we explore: - What “Open Loops” are and how they affect personal growth- Why we avoid difficult conversations- How boundaries can transform our relationships- The connection between calmness, confidence, and personal authority- How to stop over-giving and start honoring your own needs- Practical steps for finally addressing the things that have been draining your energy If you’ve been feeling perpetually behind, overwhelmed, or stuck in a situation you know you need to address, this conversation offers practical tools to help you move forward.
