About the Author

Robyn Conley Downs is the founder of mission-driven media-and-education brand Real Food Whole Life, and creator of the Feel Good Effect Mindset & Method. She holds a master’s degree in education with an emphasis in behavior change, has four years of public policy and health change at the doctoral level, and her work taps into cutting-edge science around mindset, strategies and habits, and how to create health, happiness, and sustainable wellness. She combines her professional research background with work as a certified yoga teacher—specializing in mindfulness and self-compassion—to share science-based, life-tested, radically simple solutions to help people feel good. When not writing or speaking, Robyn can be found behind the mic of the Feel Good Effect podcast, in the kitchen creating simple real-food recipes, hiking, reading, or practicing yoga in and around her home in Portland, Oregon, along with her husband, Andrew, and their daughter, Elle.
