About Me
Are you a thoughtful, successful professional who has plenty to be grateful for?
And yet privately, you feel unfulfilled, and stuck?
Do you feel:
Burned out?
Emotionally numb?
Underappreciated or insecure?
Unsure why things just aren’t quite right?
Do you keep circling around questions such as:
Why do I feel stuck when nothing is obviously wrong?
Why do I know myself so well but still struggle to change?
Why do I keep postponing the life I actually want?
Perhaps you've read the books, listened to the podcasts, done the retreats, and yet nothing ever really changes for long.
This is because you can't read the label from inside the bottle.
I get it. I was a tenured professor who could have easily coasted until retirement. But I was burned out, disillusioned, and unfulfilled. After witnessing some colleagues unexpectedly die while still unhappily grinding away at work and deferring their dreams, it finally hit me in a visceral way that life is short, and none of us can ever know when our time will be up.
So I left academia without a plan, got the right help, and rebuilt from scratch.
It hasn't always been easy, but the only thing I've ever regretted is that I didn't do this sooner.
Now I get great satisfaction paying it forward by helping others figure out why they keep making the same choices, repeating the same patterns, deferring their dreams, and staying stuck.
I like to begin by holding up a brutally honest mirror that reflects truths that you can’t see on your own. One of the first things we often find is that your surface problems are real, but they are not the whole story.
Then we turn insight into action, co‑creating a feasible, powerful action plan that enables you to make different choices, break the cycle, and actually live the life you want.

Robert has been exceptional. My personal growth is a true reflection of the work weve done together from building self-esteem and navigating parenting and partner challenges to rediscovering my sense of self-worth. In just a few short months, weve accomplished so much. Im genuinely excited to continue this journey toward becoming my best self living with peace, clarity, and contentment.

Working with Bob Cabin has been a deeply clarifying and grounding experience during a time when I found myself at a career crossroads. As a former academic turned life coach, Bob brings a unique combination of wisdom, empathy, and directness that helped me untangle long-standing patterns that were creating unnecessary stress in both my personal and professional life. Our work together helped me reconnect with my core values and gain clarity about the kind of work I want to be doingwork that aligns with both my skills and my sense of purpose. That shift in perspective reignited my energy and motivation, and Ive since taken tangible steps forward, including submitting a new proposal and reengaging with projects I care deeply about. If you're a professionalespecially one working in climate, science, public health, or nonprofit leadershipwho is feeling exhausted, stuck, or unsure of your next steps, I cant recommend Bob enough. He doesnt just help you set goalshe helps you return to yourself, your strengths, and your vision.

If you're looking to gain clarity in your professional or personal life, elevate your leadership, find better work-life balance, or simply become the best (and authentic) version of yourself, I highly recommend Robert (Bob) Cabin and N of 1 Life Coaching. Working with Bob was truly transformative. I appreciated, and benefited from his wisdom, care, openness, encouragement, positivity, ability to ask powerful questions, and outstanding listening skills. Bob has helped me build habits that support both my well-being and performance. He has taught me how to be more present in my personal and professional relationships and how to cultivate everyday joy. If you're considering working with a coach, do yourself a favor and connect with Bob. I promise you wont regret it!

I first met Bob in the winter of 2024 during a mindfulness and nature workshop he led at a retreat I attended. I appreciated listening to someone who was so passionate about his work and life experiences. In our very first one-on-one conversation, Bob listened attentively as I expressed my thoughts and dreams. He connected with me in ways I hadn't expected, using his own life stories to relate to my scattered ideas, which made me feel excited about my passions. At our next meeting, he provided me with an outline of goals and values that he believed I was striving to articulate. For the first time, my chaotic thoughts were transformed into a clear framework, empowering me to build on them and communicate with confidence. Over the past year and a half, I have embarked on a journey of significant life changes. Just a few weeks ago, we revisited that original outline. It was encouraging to see that despite the whirlwind of changes, I had remained true to my core goals and values and achieved many of them. I feel grateful for Bob's support and guidance. Having someone who listens with intention and offers genuine, constructive feedback has been a cornerstone of my progress on the path I'm on.

I cant overstate how transformative working with Bob has been for me. I started working with him during a major life transitionone of those seasons where everything feels uncertain, and the path forward is anything but clear. With compassion, clarity, and just the right balance of challenge and support, Bob helped me navigate that period with intention and confidence. He didnt just help me get through itHe helped me grow through it. I came out the other side with more clarity, alignment, and energy than Ive had in years. His coaching gave me practical tools, but more importantly, it helped me reconnect with who I am and what I want from my life. If youre facing a big transition or just feeling stuck, I cant recommend Bob highly enough. His no nonsense, deeply intellectual approach is just the right blend. Working with him was one of the best investments Ive made in myself.

Robert worked with me for over a year as I transitioned from an unsatisfactory career to one that is aligned with my values. I reached out to Robert on a whim, as I respect his academic research. I'm so glad that I did, as I found a wise and caring companion to accompany me on my career changes. His coaching style fit my needs perfectly--he is relaxed, interested, and has remarkable experience, including his own career journey that allows him to support his clients with insights that are rare and real. I cannot recommend Robert enough as a soul-filled and supportive coach.
