    The Call to Climb Within with James Robbins

    Send a text What if the life you’ve been working so hard to build isn’t wrong… but incomplete? In this powerful conversation, host Dionne Malush sits down with leadership strategist, keynote speaker, and bestselling author James Robbins to explore the invisible mountains we all face and the quiet inner voice that calls us toward something more. From growing up on a cattle ranch in the Rockies to navigating a personal dark night of the soul, James shares how purpose isn’t something you chase, it’s something you remember. Together, they unpack why so many high-achievers feel stuck despite outward success, how adversity becomes an invitation rather than a punishment, and why the real climb is always an inside job. This episode is for anyone who feels the tug of a bigger life but isn’t sure what direction to move. You’ll hear a refreshing perspective on purpose versus worthy pursuits, why vulnerability is a leadership superpower, and how to stop waiting until you feel “ready” to step into what’s next. If you’ve been questioning your path, feeling called to pivot, or simply craving deeper alignment, this conversation will meet you right where you are and remind you of one essential truth: you don’t have to have it all figured out, you just have to be willing to climb.
