Robyn McLean was in college when she was violently raped by a man she was in a relationship with. Robyn was filled with pain, shame, and guilt following the rape and even more conflicted when she found out that she was pregnant- while still trapped in a relationship with a violent abuser.

When Robyn first looked at her son she states, “It was nothing like everything I had previously worried about. There was no shame in looking at him. New feelings and new memories emerged. This was not pain and agony. This was a child who was such a dear, so captivating”

Robyn is an Inspirational/ Motivational Speaker and Writer at Coffee With Robyn. To women going through what she went through, Robyn says, “For all the pain you’ve gone through and are going through, I want to encourage you. Your life is not over, you have future, and it could just be beginning. My son, AJ, was my beginning.”
