This week on Resiliency Redefined, Dr. Robyne sits down with acclaimed performance coach, speaker, and author Alan Stein Jr. for a deeply energizing conversation that’s equal parts practical and inspiring. 

Drawing on decades of experience helping athletes and professionals unlock their potential on the court, in the boardroom, and at home, Alan shares how the same habits that drive world-class performance can also lead to deeper fulfillment, joy, and inner peace. His approachable wisdom and self-reflection as a human, a coach, and a parent shine through as he speaks candidly about his own growth journey and what it means to live in alignment. 

Together, they explore the value of emotional regulation, why discipline is the true engine behind lasting change, the importance of aligning your daily choices with the person you aspire to become, and what it looks like to model ownership, consistency, and compassion for your children. 

Whether you’re focused on meaningful improvement, raising resilient kids, or simply in need of a motivation boost, this episode will empower you to show up with clarity, kindness, and discipline—and keep moving in the right direction.
