Podcast Summary

Jenn Robb, a warrior mom and nurse practitioner, shares her emotionally charged journey in navigating her daughter's mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, and self-harm, that disrupted their seemingly perfect family life. As someone who understands the pressure of maintaining appearances in Christian communities, Jenn speaks candidly about the stigma and isolation that comes with these challenges, particularly when sensitive topics like sexual assault are involved. Through her story, Jenn reveals how faith, prayer, and persistence became her guiding lights, and how she found healing and purpose amidst personal battles.

Together, we explore the painful yet hopeful aspects of motherhood, from the emotional burdens of discovering self-harm to the desperate measures taken after her daughter Chloe's unresponsive night due to alcohol consumption. Jenn brings to light the critical nature of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, emphasizing cognitive behavior therapies like EMDR that played a significant role in Chloe's recovery. She also reflects on her own healing journey, finding peace in the belief that trials can be transformative, presenting opportunities for growth and deeper understanding.

Jenn's commitment to fostering open communication within her family stands out as a powerful testament to the importance of emotional safety and trust. By sharing techniques such as using code words and encouraging free expression of feelings, Jenn has cultivated a supportive environment for her children. Her insights are further expanded in her book "Warrior Mom Rising," a vital resource for mothers facing similar struggles. Through this episode, we find encouragement and reassurance that God's timing, though sometimes delayed, is never absent.
