Iām Robyn Straley, a coach, geographer, and the founder of 30kft Coaching. My work brings together a lifelong love of maps with a deep respect for how humans make meaning and find their way.
I have always loved maps. The real ones taught me about landscapes, rivers, and how the world is shaped over time. But it was the imaginary ones, tucked into the front pages of books, that stopped me in my tracks.
Someone had made a map of a place that did not exist. That felt like magic. It still does.
Over time, that fascination with mapmaking became a language for navigating the human experience.
Maps are never only about places. They are about people, patterns, and the journeys we make together. When people work with me, they find a guide who listens differently. Together, we set aside the maps that no longer serve and begin to chart new ones. Clients learn to ask themselves better questions, to tell better stories, and to see the waypoints that lead them forward.
I believe in presence and companionship, in walking together rather than going alone.
I believe in joy as a compass, and in practice as the way we deepen whatever we are called to do.
Above all, I believe in holding space that allows people to be deeply seen, deeply heard, and deeply encouraged.
These beliefs are expressed in the way I coach. I help creative types, visual learners, and neurodiverse thinkers map the landscapes of their inner worlds and discover paths that lead them home to themselves. My clients include weary travelers who need boundaries, compass seekers who crave values, fogbound explorers looking for waypoints, and edge-dwellers standing at the precipice. Each finds clarity not by being told what to do, but by becoming their own mapmaker.
