Today’s episode of The Secrets of Being is all about grit, growth, and what it really takes to rebuild your life from the ground up. I’m joined by the extraordinary Robert B. Foster, author and host of Shut Up and Grind—a podcast and book born from his own painful pivot after a serious knee injury nearly changed everything.
Robert walks me through that life-altering moment—one minute he was in peak physical shape, and the next, he was being told he might never run again. The physical pain was real, but so were the mental battles. He shares how the voice inside him refused to say "if"—and instead kept repeating, when I run again. That shift in mindset became his foundation. He chose to fight, not flee, and that choice transformed his recovery.
But Robert's story doesn’t stop there. Two years ago, he let go of his fitness business and found himself with no income, no direction, and in the deepest depression of his life. He opens up about the intrusive thoughts, the moment he asked his mom if he could come home, and how reconnecting with his purpose—starting with a visit to his high school—began to light the path forward.
We talk about what it means to hit rock bottom and still rise. How purpose can pull you out of the darkest places. How our mindset can literally help heal the body. Robert’s story is full of reminders that we are never as stuck as we think we are.
He also opens up about growing up with a stutter and how he trained himself to slow down and speak with intention. Now a powerful public speaker, Robert talks about the feedback that changed his life and why moving others with your words is more important than being perfect.
One of the most powerful parts of our conversation is when Robert shares about donating his kidney to his sister and what it meant to be there for her during that journey. He tells me about his father’s passing and how having no regrets gave him peace. Every moment of his story is a lesson in resilience, surrender, and personal power.
Robert believes that your story—no matter how messy—is what someone else needs to hear. He reminds us that doing hard things is how we build strength, and that our pivot points are sacred places of transformation. If you’ve been navigating pain, grief, or starting over, this episode is for you. It’s a soul reset and a wake-up call to grind through with purpose.
With love, Dawn
