What it's really like to launch a book during a pandemic...

The Feel Good Effect has been out for one month (yay!!!) and the question I’ve been getting most often in interviews—prior to actually recording—is: how’s the launch going? And I’m always like: Well... It’s just really.... Weird. Like most things in covid-world, right? Nothing like you’d planned or expected.

In truth, I was really looking forward to meeting you all, to celebrating this mission + message together, and to seeing the book in some of my favorite bookstores. Plus there’s the fact in that the last month our beautiful city been evacuated and blanketed in smoke and protests, and friends have lost homes, and I’m like: Wait, did I even write a book or was that just a dream?

So yeah, weird. But also. Perhaps the most needed and necessary time. Look, I have no confusion about how dark this time is. But I also know that this book provides some light. A reframing and reclaiming. A ditching of what doesn’t matter and centering on what’s good.

Sure, I should definitely fire myself as my own hype-person and social media manager (she who has posted about her own book exactly twice since it came out), but really, I’m not going anywhere. This book is here, and it’s here for you, and you know what? We’re only just getting started. Here’s to feeling good. xxoo #thefeelgoodeffect

<img src="https://realfoodwholelife.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="You Belong. ✨ I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing self-described nerdy black immigrant tomboy Buddhist weirdo @sebeneselassie for the most recent episode of the #feelgoodeffectpodcast about her new book, You Belong. In the interview we explore ideas about belonging, why she says belonging is an expression of life, belonging and social change, the difference between belonging and fitting in, spiritual bypassing, and our separateness. This is such a juicy, relevant, joyful conversation and I hope you tune in! Listen anywhere you get your podcasts, just search "Feel Good Effect" or read the show notes on realfoodwholelife.com link's in profile. Also, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this life-changing book now. I've already purchased 5 copies to give as gifts. Swipe right to save + share her quotes and let us know if you tune in!">

You may not know this but...

First up, I’m so glad you’re here! If you don’t already know, hi, I'm Robyn. I'm a 6-foot-tall mama of an almost-third-grader, Elle; married 18 years (as of last month) to the love of my life + research partner, Andrew. I spent many years researching and teaching in academics, 🤓 and I still feel supremely, awkwardly out of place here on Instagram. 👋

I can't wear white clothing because when I do, I spill on myself immediately. Who are people who can wear white? Are you one of them? Tell me your secrets. I'm 40, which is old by wellness industry standards, but young by my standards. I host a podcast, 🎙 where I love to ask the question: what does it really mean to be healthy?

Over the years I've had anxiety, multiple miscarriages, infertility, secondary infertility, an autoimmune disease, and endometriosis, which I had surgery for last year. Despite all of this, I am still a whole.

I wrote a book called The Feel Good Effect. 📚 It came out yesterday. I haven't seen it in a store yet because most of the bookstores near us are closed, 😭 but virtually seeing you get your copies makes my heart full ❤️. I believe that wellness is for everyone and that mental and emotional wellbeing are fundamental to health. My motto is “gentle is the new perfect” and I am so, so glad you're here.

Now, tell me something about YOU!

WE DON'T WANT YOUR ANTI-WELLNESS BOOK... Actual r

WE DON'T WANT YOUR ANTI-WELLNESS BOOK...

Actual rejection I received in the final stages of trying to get my book published. Okaaaay. Here's the thing—my book, The Feel Good Effect (OUT TUESDAY!)—is about shall shifts that create big change. It's about harnessing the power of mindset and habits to feel good in your life right now, about leaning out of of impossible standards + empowering yourself with mindset & habit strategies to create more calm, clarity and joy in your life right now. Now you tell me: what exactly about this is anti-wellness?

I think that rejection really meant that he didn't want a book that wasn’t a prescriptive plan, and that he’d rather publish a thinly-disguised diet book instead. This is feedback I've gotten frequently over the years. Feedback that people only really want a diet, that they don't want habits and mindset backed by research, that they’re really only looking for a quick fix. 🤷‍♀️

All along, though, I’ve believed that you are ready for so much more. That you actually want to feel good now *and* to find a more sustainable, joyful way to well. That you’re tired of exploitative marketing, and are hungry for something different. Tomorrow, September 1st, I will proudly share my oh-so-very-wellness book with the world, knowing that every single one of *your* orders is a vote. A vote for another way, a reclaiming of wellness, that's for us, and about us. And for that I cannot wait. Now, who's with me? Here's to feeling good. #thefeelgoodeffect
