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.
