Summary

You know that little voice in your head that says, “What will they think?” The one that’s held you back from hitting publish, setting a boundary, or even just being yourself? Yeah, we’re done with that. In this episode, I sit down with the iconic Mel Robbins to talk about how to finally stop caring what other people think—and start living for yourself. This isn’t your typical self-help chat. It’s real, unfiltered, and hands down one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve had on the show. We’re not just talking about why it’s time to let go of other people’s opinions—we’re unpacking how to do it, especially when it’s your parents, your boss, or your internet trolls. Mel shares how she navigates criticism, the emotional toll of success, and why it’s not your job to manage other people’s feelings. If you’ve ever felt held back by fear of judgment, or struggled to show up as your full self—this episode will change the way you see your life, your relationships, and your ambition.

1:04.0	the let them theory. And we're so excited to have her on the show to have a conversation that
1:08.7	truly she has not had anywhere else. Yes, we're going to talk
1:12.1	about the Let Them Theory. We're going to talk about her incredible work, but I threw away most
1:17.3	of my questions and you know that the interview is good when I didn't even get to my planned
1:22.4	questions until about 45 minutes into the conversation. Let's talk about Mel. Mel Robbins is an award-winning
1:28.8	podcast host, New York Times best-selling author, and one of the most followed and sought-after

2:01.4	I don't think it's left the top spot on Amazon sales. It is a number one New York Times bestseller, and it is one of
