On Episode 9 of Understanding Mobilize Recovery, Robyn Rohde shares how her approach to the work evolved. Watch the full episode: youtu.be/x5HaByEhhys She started out focused on outcomes, tasks, and organizing groups to get things done. But through Mobilize Recovery and grassroots organizing, she learned that change is fundamentally relational, and it has to start with people. Without shared values, alignment, and trust, you can’t sustain the hard work of advocacy. Robyn is a tenured professor at the College of Southern Nevada, where she serves as Interim Lead for AI Innovation and Stewardship, a Principal Partner at Thornbird Consulting, and owner of Integrative Wellness Clinic of Nevada – Henderson. Her guiding belief: lasting change happens when the people most affected by a problem have the relationships, resources, and power to help create the solutions.
