Stress Wisely

Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is on a mission to make life's toughest challenges not just manageable but meaningful. She blends cutting-edge research with real-life wisdom to teach resiliency, stress navigation, and optimal performance-all with a dash of humour and a whole lot of hope and heart.

An award-winning behavioural educator, Dr. Robyne's debut book, Calm Within the Storm, earned the 2022 Silver Nautilus Award for Psychology/Mental & Emotional Well-Being. Her second book, Stress Wisely, won the 2023 Silver Award in Self-Help from the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards, the 2023 Bronze Award for Self-Help (Adult Nonfiction) by the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards, and the Grand Prize in the Nonfiction Contest by the BookLife Prize.
