You know that feeling—the one where life’s throwing curveballs, and you start wondering, Is this really it? For Robin Brodsky, that moment came while sitting in a Harvard job she hated, fantasizing about popping a tire just to skip the workday. (Relatable, right?)
But Robin’s story isn’t just about leaving a soul-crushing job—it’s about the power of reinvention. After being laid off twice (including on 9/11, while working at Logan Airport), battling toxic workplaces, and navigating a nightmare condo purchase that nearly derailed her sanity, Robin made a choice: She wasn’t going to let life keep driving. She was grabbing the damn wheel.
Fast forward to today—Robin’s living in Spain’s stunning Basque Country, leading curated travel experiences for solo female adventurers through her company, All Set to Jet. It’s more than a trip; it’s a confidence boost, a safe space, and a reminder that traveling alone doesn’t mean you’re on your own.
In this episode, Robin spills all the tea—on bad bosses, real estate disasters, the joy of solo travel, and how she built a business around helping women feel comfortable and empowered while seeing the world.
