About this episode

Robyn Homer shares her journey of overcoming abuse and learning to love while maintaining her identity.

Robyn Homer joins Becca and Chelsea for a vulnerable conversation about growing up in a family of 12, losing her father at a young age, and learning to make peace with a childhood shaped by grief, emotional distance, and survival. Robyn opens up about entering an abusive relationship at 18, the manipulation that kept her trapped, and the unexpected moment that helped her recognize she was not crazy—and that she needed to leave. She also shares how the effects of that relationship followed her into marriage, intimacy, motherhood, and years of therapy. This episode explores the difficult truth that compassion and accountability can coexist. Robyn’s story is a powerful reminder that healing does not require excusing the people who hurt us, and that learning to offer grace does not mean abandoning our own needs, boundaries, or worth. Content note: This episode includes discussions of sexual coercion, emotional abuse, trauma, grief, and intimacy.
