Listen "Burned Out, Gassed Up (Lit?), and Still Going Strong"
Episode Synopsis
Author, entrepreneur, mom, previous guest, and good friend Jennifer Robins built a wellness brand while her health was quietly wrecking her life. And no, just trying harder didn’t fix it.
In this episode, Jen gets real about what it’s like to share publicly while barely holding it together behind the scenes. We talk about chronic illness, medical gaslighting, the pressure to “stay on brand” when your body is screaming for help, and the full-body burnout that finally made her say: “I’m done.” And how she’s doing now, after it all.
It’s about deciding you’re not going to pretend anymore—online or off. If you’re tired of wellness content that feels like performance art, this one’s for you.
