#59: Have You Hit Rock Bottom? With Robin
LISTEN NOW
This week I am in conversation with Robin, a wife and mother to teens. Robin is a speaker and educator, as well as the founder of Embrace the PATH. Robin started her business, and to grow her business she began speaking all over the country. As her business grew, Robin admits her ego did too. Eventually, she found herself more in tune with work rather than her family at home. Things looked perfect from the outside, but on the inside things were falling apart in her marriage and her relationship with her children. Robin expresses to us what it felt like to hit rock bottom and have to work on yourself starting from the ground up. The journey to health was not always linear, and she faced more challenges along the way with a difficult diagnosis. However, with therapy and a lot of learned coping mechanisms for stress - Robin is finally at peace with herself and her life. If you feel like you are at rock bottom or feel like stress is consuming you - I hope this episode encourages you.
