| Robyn Humphrys - The Stop Suffering Club - Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional | 24 Jul 2026 | 01:35:41 | |
Episode Notes
This episode features Robyn, an industrial engineer turned mental health educator, who breaks down the ways fear and shame quietly run our lives. She draws on meditation, attachment theory, and cognitive science to help people move through fear instead of avoiding it, often pointing back to the insight that shifted her own life almost overnight. Robyn runs a growing platform and community focused on attachment styles, ego, and self honesty, supporting people who feel stuck in cycles of avoidance, people pleasing, or chasing external validation. In this conversation, we explore the difference between love and attachment, why shame attaches itself to pain, and how building internal values instead of external ones can create a more secure, grounded sense of self.
