In this deeply powerful episode of Everything’s Messy Podcast I sit down with Jen Robb — nurse practitioner, coach, farmer, wife, mom, and author of A Warrior Mom Rising: A Mom’s Battle Plan to Advocate, Overcome, and Thrive.

Jen bravely shares the messy and heartbreaking journey of walking alongside her daughter through years of severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ultimately the reveal of a traumatic event that changed everything.

What begins as a mother’s attempt to “hold it all together” turns into a raw, transformative story about faith, surrender, self-care, advocating fiercely, and rediscovering your identity when motherhood takes you into the darkest places.

This episode is a rollercoaster of truth, grief, growth, resilience, and hope — and a reminder that healing is possible, community matters, and moms are not meant to carry everything alone.

This conversation is filled with vulnerability, hard truths, and deep encouragement for any mom walking through a crisis — or afraid she might someday.


💬 Final Thoughts
This is an emotional and important episode.. Jen’s courage and honesty are a gift to so many women who feel like they’re drowning in silence. If this episode resonates with you, please share it with another mom who may need to hear these words today.

And please — take care of your heart.

You matter, too. ❤️
