Description

From being 12 years old Robyn knew she wanted to work in the events industry and through her determination and sheer hard work over the past 12 years, she has built three incredibly successful businesses.
Her stories are jaw dropping, including running multi-million pound parties, flying around the world on private jets and living a life which most of us can only dream about, but as Robyn tells us, this high pace lifestyle came at a cost. This conversation was open and honest and Robyn shared her experiences with stress, anxiety and burnout; anyone working in the festival and events will relate, so enjoy this real, raw and inspiring conversation.
