This is a message for every new graduate.

Whether you’re graduating from college or graduating from a chapter in your life, you need this message today. Your dreams matter, and what happens next is in your hands.

You have a flame inside you that represents the way you were meant to show up in this world.

Today I’m teaching you how to throw gasoline on that flame.

No matter what you're going through in life, your dreams are alive and well, and they are waiting for you to wake up and turn toward them.

If you’re not ready for some Mel Robbins inspirational firepower, bookmark this for another day. Because I’m not f’ing around today.

Whether you’re ready to make your mark on the world...

Or you’re tired of your excuses...

Or if you're like Barbara, who you'll meet in this episode, and you've given up on your dreams because they haven’t materialized yet…

This may be the most important 50 minutes of your life.

I’m going to show you
