Summary

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. 0:00 | When Tech Trouble Mirrors Life Transitions 4:30 | Scams, Social Loss, and the Quiet Grief of Losing a Digital Self 9:00 | Leaving the Internet Behind to Find Yourself 14:30 | The Problem with Platforms That Reward Pain 22:00 | Relearning Food, Health, and Forgiveness 34:30 | Childhood Trauma, Emotional Wiring & Reclaiming Peace 44:30 | Joy as Resistance: Madison’s Bracelets and the Gift of Delight Find Jen: instagram.com/jenniferlaurenbaileyrobins legitbreadcompany.com Find Stacy: ⁠⁠⁠realeverything.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/realstacytoth⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠missionmakersart.com⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

0:22.1	I'm really excited that we were finally able to figure out a way to record together because our first call was so good and we lost it and it like crushed my spirit.
0:38.3	I know.
0:39.3	Like just significantly made me want to just like walk away from everything.
0:43.7	But I don't actually want to and I'm really excited that we get to talk.
0:48.6	Me too.
0:49.6	But I can't believe that that one was not memorialized because it was every topic and deviation,
0:58.5	albeit unintentional, were like perfection. And we're not just saying that. Like,
1:04.8	anyway. And then today, we tried to, dear listeners, record in the tried and true way, and my computer decided to die.
1:16.7	Evidently, like the input and output, the speaker system is dying, and everything sounded like a chipmunk.
1:24.2	And that was awful.
1:32.4	So here we are. Back on ye old. What is the lesson? Is the lesson stop trying to record or is the lesson perseverance? Perseverance and resilience and also go back
1:40.0	to the ye old tried and true methods of calling your friend on the phone.
1:46.0	Okay, fair.
1:47.3	I acknowledge this.
1:50.5	Nothing makes me feel older faster than trying to troubleshoot with tech.
1:56.6	And like, I would have felt the exact same thing in my 20s.
2:00.7	Like, I would have done the same thing and all the troubleshooting things that I did.
