From Broken to Brilliant: The "Mental MacGyver" Shares Her Story of Resilience

In the video, Dr. Robin Odegaard, the guest on the show "Doing Business with a Servant's Heart," shared her story of overcoming challenges and her advice for the audience.

Robin grew up in a strict Christian family and was married off at a young age to a man who turned out to be abusive and in debt. After eight years of marriage, she was kicked out and left to fend for herself. She later married again, but this marriage also ended in divorce. Despite these challenges, Robin persevered and went on to earn a doctorate.

Robin now helps people who are struggling in their personal or professional lives. She is known as the "Mental MacGyver" because she can help people solve complex problems. Robin advises the audience to "stop making decisions that make you prove you're resilient." In other words, feel free to ask for help when you need it.
