More from Inflection Time with Silken Laumann
At 16, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe's car crashed through the ice into freezing water, leaving her trapped inside a sinking vehicle. In the middle of the unimaginable, she remembered something her mother had always told her: You can do hard things. Today, Robyne is a resilience expert who studies how we navigate adversity and find our way forward. In this conversation with Silken Laumann, she shares what science and her own extraordinary life have taught her about resilience, anxiety, hope and the habits that help us through difficult moments. Together, they explore why resilience isn't about being fearless, how focusing on the "next right step" can move us through overwhelm, and why belonging, acceptance, self-care and hope are essential to our ability to recover and grow. A powerful conversation about what we're capable of when life doesn't go according to plan.

It is moving day for George Stroumboulopoulos. He steps outside and sits down with Silken like he has all the time in the world. That is George. One of Canada's most recognizable voices. He has spent decades in conversation with some of the most fascinating people on the planet, including Silken Laumann. George takes a moment to reflect with Silken, sharing the insights gained from a childhood marked by instability, the challenges of facing fear and what that taught him about letting go of control. He reflects on ego, craft, presence, and why he has never once connected who he is to what he does. With eight Gemini Awards and a career that has refused to stay in one lane, this is a conversation about investing in the moment, showing up fully, and the quiet power of just being real.
