Choose Hope Over Fear: The Science of Belonging & Resilience | Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe

Описание: What do you do when hope feels completely out of reach?

In this episode of The Mark Divine Show, Mark sits down with Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, award-winning resilience researcher, educator, and known globally as The Hope Scientist, to unpack what hope really is—and why it’s not just wishful thinking.

Dr. Robyne shares her remarkable story of dropping out of high school, navigating addiction, surviving a near-fatal car accident, and rebuilding her life from the ground up. Together, they explore why so many high performers feel burned out, disconnected, and stuck—even when they “have it all”—and how hope can be trained as a science-backed strategy for mental fitness, leadership, and long-term wellbeing.

You’ll learn:
Why traditional motivation fails when identity doesn’t change
The difference between optimism and real hope
How stress, burnout, and hyper-arousal shut down clarity
Why belonging is the missing link in performance and fulfillment
How to build daily systems that rewire the brain for resilience
What to do when life forces a complete reset

This conversation is for leaders, parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating uncertainty who wants to reclaim agency, purpose, and calm—without bypassing reality.

Hope isn’t passive. It’s a practice.
