    Chasing Everything vs. Embracing Enough

    2026/08/26 | 31 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. Robyne explores the tension between everything and enough, and what happens when our drive to achieve, grow, and do more turns into a perpetual game of chase. Drawing on a journal entry she wrote a year ago, she reflects on the pressure to keep reaching for “the next thing,” the ways we can begin to tie our worth to achievement, and how the finish line can keep moving. She invites us to consider what it might look like to decide what is enough for this season of our lives, creating space for contentment, agency, and what truly matters.

    The Power of Fun with Dave Raymond

    2026/08/19 | 39 mins.
    In this episode, Dr. Robyne welcomes the original Phillie Phanatic, Hero of Happiness, keynote speaker, author, and brand consultant Dave Raymond for a conversation about finding lightness, connection, and joy, even when life feels its heaviest.

    As the man inside the giant green costume for 16 years, Dave shares how creating moments of joy for millions revealed the deeper power of fun and ultimately helped him find his way back to hope.

    Together, they explore what it means to make room for laughter and play when the world feels unwell, how joy and hard things can coexist, and why sometimes the next right thing is simply reaching for the tiniest “finger hold” to help us move forward.

    Sometimes one idea, one question, or one new way of seeing a situation can change everything.

Through relatable stories, psychology-backed insights, and practical perspective shifts, she shares how broadening the way we see ourselves, others, and the situations around us can help us manage expectations, reduce unnecessary suffering, and create more space for clarity, compassion, and possibility.

About Perspective Shift with Dr. Robyne
Perspective Shift with Dr. Robyne is a weekly podcast for curious people who want to think more clearly about the things that matter most. Each episode explores one idea, one conversation, or one perspective that helps us make better sense of work, relationships, leadership, parenting, stress, hope, and the beautifully messy business of being human. This isn't a podcast about quick fixes or easy answers. It's about slowing down long enough to see something differently. My hope is simple. That every episode leaves you with one just-in-time perspective. Because sometimes that's all it takes to change everything.
