Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Dr. Robyne explores the science behind happiness—what it is, what it’s not, and how much of it we can actually influence. She shares how our brain’s neurochemistry responds to small, daily actions, why the “arrival fallacy” keeps us chasing fulfillment that never quite lands, and how grief and joy can coexist. Through honest reflections and everyday strategies, Dr. Robyne invites us to design rituals of meaning, savor life’s small joys, and align with what truly matters for a deeper sense of contentment today, not just someday.*** Next Stress Wisely Lab: July 8th, 2025 Join Dr. Robyne for a 90-minute, research-backed experience designed to help you navigate burnout and start showing up for your life in a healthier, more sustainable way. Together, we’ll explore practices that help refill our buckets—so we’re not just surviving summer, but truly soaking in its goodness. This isn’t about hustling harder; it’s about opening yourself up to the opportunity for recovery, rest, and renewal, and giving yourself permission to invest your time and energy in what truly matters. There’s a spot for you.  Visit drrobyne.ca to learn more and register today! Additional Resources: Shawn Achor Phil M.
