    Finding Strength Over Pain With Gigi Robinson

    Gigi Robinson's life changed in ways she never could have expected at the age of 11 when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness.  It altered not only her childhood but also her dreams for the future. Now just 23, this New York City-based content creator has already experienced living with chronic pain, disordered eating, and pushing herself to the point of burnout in college. Not to mention graduating from college during a global pandemic while also realizing you're never too young to feel all of those dating and societal pressures placed on women. Now she creates content that reaches and supports a global Gen Z audience, focusing on mental health, chronic illness, body image and self advocacy. Gigi knows her story is just beginning, but already she has plenty of twists and turns to share.    Links:  Instagram: @laurabbehnke  @thelifeactuallypodcast  Website: laurabehnke.com    Guest Links:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsgigirobinson/  Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itsgigirobinson?lang=en  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigirobinson  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/GigiRobinson/featured  Twitter: https://twitter.com/itsgigirobinson?lang=en  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/itsgigirobinson/_created/  Website: https://www.gigirobinson.com  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/52gJoINiT5B86t1CdwMb6F?si=frTtgIZ0T7KOAuJx9eUmyw&dl_branch=1  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsgigirobinson  FB podcast page: https://www.facebook.com/everythingyouneediswithin   Get full access to The Life Actually at thelifeactually.substack.com/subscribe

  2. An Unexpected Life With Jody Day

    An Unexpected Life With Jody Day

    There are so many topics and life experiences for women that have been silenced by society, including being childless not by choice. Which is something Jody Day is on a mission to change. As the founder of Gateway Women, a global friendship and support network for childless women, she is a voice for so many who are facing a reality they never expected in life. Jody's own life has followed an unexpected path as well. From ending a pregnancy when she was 20, to struggling to conceive years later, to watching her marriage end, to eventually coming to the realization at 44 that she would never be a mother, none of it went according to plan. And all the while she came to this childless acceptance she faced another unexpected part of life--grief. Known as the "voice of the childless generation" and the author of Living The Life Unexpected: How to Find Hope, Meaning and a Fulfilling Future Without Children, Jody works with women every day to help them accept and process their grief in order to keep going in their own unexpected lives.  Links:  IG: @laurabbehnke  @thelifeactuallypodcast  Website: laurabehnke.com  FREE Guide and Workbook: Dating, Actually: The Anti-Dating-Guide Dating Guide  Guest Links:  IG: @gatewaywomen  Facebook: @gatewaywomenuk  Twitter: @gatewaywomen  Website: gateway-women.com  Book: Living the Life Unexpected: How to Find Hope, Meaning and a Fulfilling Future Without Children Get full access to The Life Actually at thelifeactually.substack.com/subscribe
