In this heartfelt episode of The FEEL Podcast, Jenn Robb shares her journey navigating motherhood, mental health, and self-care while supporting her daughter through invisible mental health challenges. This powerful conversation sheds light on the emotional reality many mothers face, balancing caregiving with their own well-being, often leading to burnout and disconnection from self.

Jenn opens up about how pouring all her energy into parenting impacted her emotional wellness, and how she began reclaiming her identity through intentional self-care, mindfulness, and small daily habits that restored her energy and presence. Her story highlights the importance of supporting a child with mental health struggles while also prioritizing your own healing, growth, and mental health as a mother.

We also explore women’s hormonal health and how physical and emotional changes throughout life require adaptable wellness routines. Jenn shares practical insight on setting healthy boundaries, learning how to say no without guilt, and releasing people-pleasing patterns to protect your energy and prevent burnout in motherhood.

Through vulnerability and strength, this episode offers guidance for moms, caregivers, and women seeking emotional balance, stress relief, and a more sustainable approach to caregiving and self-care.

Inspired by her experience, Jenn’s book, Warrior Mom Rising, serves as a resource for mothers navigating similar challenges, offering tools for resilience, self-advocacy, and healing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation is a reminder that you can support others without losing yourself, you matter too.

Ways to Engage: Find space for yourself even in the smallest of moments. Whether you’re listening to your favorite music in the car, taking an extra five minutes in the shower, or doing some breathing exercises before bed, find ways to take care of and prioritize yourself.
