Behind The Fold
Motherhood, Mentorship & the Magic of Starting Again with Tess Robinson
This week on Behind The Fold, I’m joined by the brilliant Tess Robinson—creative entrepreneur, founder of Smack Bang, and co-founder of the soon-to-launch wellness brand, Land Lab. Tess has long been someone I deeply admire, and our conversation is everything I hoped it would be: honest, layered, and incredibly energizing. We dig into the radical shift that happens when you decide to realign your work with your values, especially as a mother. Tess shares her journey of stepping away from the traditional agency model she built over 14+ years to reclaim her creativity, redefine success, and build something deeply rooted in integrity and passion. This is a must-listen for anyone feeling called to finally ask: “What do I want?”
Tune in to hear more about:
- 04:42 – Tess’ early definition of success—leading a bustling 18-person agency—and how that changed post-motherhood.
- 08:24 – The intense identity shift Tess experienced with her first child and why returning to the same work structure no longer felt sustainable.
- 13:33 – How a personal loss sparked a moment of deep reflection that led Tess to redefine what success and fulfillment truly meant to her.
- 18:24 – Tess’ most powerful tools for reconnecting with herself and channeling her creativity—especially while raising two young children.
- 31:52 –A behind-the-scenes look at Land Lab, Tess’ newest values-driven brand blending wellness, integrity, and impact.
- 38:21 – The importance of alignment for sustainable creativity and why founders need replenishment, not just drive, to thrive.
