I'm Robin Long, Pilates instructor and founder of the balanced life.

Here on the Balance Life podcast, you'll find honest conversations with inspiring women,

sharing the real story of how they make their life work, what they do,

and perhaps more importantly, what they don't do, what they prioritize and what they let go of.

From food and exercise to work and family, we'll cover it all and provide practical tips

to help you create your own sense of balance and become the healthiest version of yourself,

inside and out.

Hi, Robin.

Welcome to the podcast.

Robin, Robin.

This could get confusing.

I'm so happy to be here.

I was thinking the other day, I'm like, have Robin and I never hung out in real

life? I was convinced we had. I'm like, we're best friends. And now I'm like, we've never even

met in real life. But when this whole thing is over with the pandemic, we're coming down and

we're going to have like a date or I could do something with your team. We are kindred spirits and we share the same name. So it's pretty awesome.

It is. And I'm so happy to finally have you on the podcast. I also couldn't believe that we hadn't

yet. I think did we first meet by me being on your podcast somewhere a couple of years ago?

Yes. And it's funny because I think I told you this once that I discovered you first years ago because someone emailed me and was asking me all these questions about Pilates. And I've done Pilates in my life. And I was trying to answer them. But she really seemed like I'm dissatisfied with my answers. And I finally said, are you thinking that I am a Pilates

instructor? And she's like, you are. And I'm like, nope. So then I Googled Robin Pilates. And there you were.

And I thought, oh, of course she thinks that I'm you because we have so much in common. And then I became

obsessed and I became a sisterhood member.
