Anxious, Broke, and Loving It
Welcome to Anxious, Broke & Loving It — the podcast for anyone who’s ever screamed at a panel, clutched their photo op like it’s gospel, cried in a hotel hallway at 2 a.m., or quietly held onto that dream, no matter how far away it feels.
I’m Robyn — chaos gremlin, professional overthinker, con line crier, and proud founder of Trash for J2.
This is your unofficial survival guide to navigating conventions, fandom friendships, celebrity encounters, emotional meltdowns, and everything in between — with way too much heart, not enough sleep, and definitely not enough money.
From the bunker to the con floor, we’re all family here.
So deep breath in, wristband on… and here we go.
