We recently had the chance to connect with Steph Lynn Robinson and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Steph Lynn, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
I make a double espresso and then read the Bible for about an hour. It reminds me what is most important in life and helps set my mind with positive thoughts so I know I can handle whatever the day brings.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m a voice actor and the owner of Keep Dreaming Creative, where I focus on giving other voice actors the tools and support to succeed in this industry. Lately, I’ve been branching out, supporting small businesses in a variety of other fields as well.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Our egos are the worst. Once you realize how much they’re driven by vanity and the illusion of control, you can’t unsee it. Ego pushes us to move out of fear and self-preservation, to live in scarcity instead of generosity and love—and that’s when we unintentionally hurt people. It keeps the wrong people close while pushing away the ones sent to help us. Good people will hold up a mirror and show you where you need to grow, but most of us run from that because it’s uncomfortable and takes real work to change.
An unchecked ego can destroy even the strongest bonds in friendships, families, businesses, or romances. The only way to repair those bonds is with love and humility. And I love how 1 Corinthians describes love: patient and kind, free from envy or pride, not self-seeking or easily angered, rejoicing in truth, forgiving, and enduring with hope through every trial. It doesn’t demand its own way, and it doesn’t keep a running list of wrongs! Forgiveness, humility, and the death of ego are key.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Your lows reveal your faith, and your highs reveal your heart.
Suffering can be one of the greatest gifts for your growth. It strips everything bare and reveals what’s really inside you. It also builds deep empathy – you start to recognize how much people are hurting behind the scenes, even if they never show it. And when you understand that, you begin to meet people with compassion instead of rushing to judge or write them off.
One thing I’ve learned about suffering is that while everyone faces it, it’s not dealt out evenly. Some people walk through unimaginable trials, while others seem to skate by in this life. But if you allow it to, suffering can refine you and shape you into the best version of yourself.
And remember that sometimes the things you go through aren’t even about you. God can take your suffering and use it to bless or heal someone else – submit it to God and trust Him to bring good out of your pain! You may never fully see or understand how, but that doesn’t mean He isn’t working through it.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
So many of us are smart, but how many of us are truly wise? There is a huge difference. Information is easy to collect. Anyone can memorize statistics or repeat polished talking points. But wisdom is different. Do you have discernment? Can you see beyond what is being shown to you? Can you hear behind what is being said?
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
“Legacy” is such an interesting concept to me, at least the way people usually describe it. So many talk about building a legacy or a name for themselves, whether it’s through business, family, fame, or a following. Oftentimes that seems rooted in pride and vanity and an attempt to not be forgotten.
Even if you set your family up for success, most of your descendants won’t think about you often. How many of us even know our great-grandparents’ names? So if your legacy is being built on selfish motives, in an effort to be ‘remembered,’ I think that’s really sad.
The people who left behind true, lasting legacies weren’t thinking about themselves at all. Think about Harriet Tubman or Irena Sendler. They weren’t focused on themselves, they were truly and selflessly focused on helping others. And that’s why we remember them!
To me, the most beautiful legacy you can leave is how you love others. All the little ways you showed kindness, even when nobody else noticed—that’s what matters. That’s the kind of legacy I’d want to leave. I think it’d be amazing to get to heaven and see all the strangers you crossed paths with, and realize how even the smallest acts of kindness or generosity had ripple effects beyond what you could have imagined.
