Life is a chain of moments, with each choice we make guiding us on our unique journey.
But, we're not alone on our journey. We cross paths with others, and their decisions can change our life's course too. It's this beautifully complex dance that makes life exciting and unpredictable.
Along the way we'll all experience defining moments, inflection points that shift our lives into new directions. Some are exhilarating, some tough, and sometimes they're not what they appear to be. But one thing's for sure, they're catalysts for our growth and change.
This is what Inflection Time with Silken Laumann explores. In each episode, Silken chats with her guest to identify and unpack these life-changing moments. The conversations, driven by curiosity are at once heartfelt and humorous, deep and relatable. Seeking to understand the ripple effects and how these moments have moulded each guest into who they are today. This podcast is an intriguing exploration; so tune in to see how these inflection points have helped create some of the most interesting and successful people in the world.

Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe: You Can Do Hard Things — The Science of Resilience
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.

In this deeply moving conversation with Silken Laumann, she reflects on how writing became part of her own healing, ultimately leading to her book Give Sorrow Words. Together, they explore the questions that can follow suicide, the many forms grief takes, and how movement, storytelling and purpose helped Lynn move forward.
