How to Learn From Your Mistakes: Let Go ...

Mel Robbins
About this episode

If you’ve ever failed, made a major mistake, or wish you could take something back, this episode will teach you how to let go of regret and move forward.

Today, Mel is sharing her breast implant story and how everything went horribly wrong. Even though she can now laugh at some of the things that happened, she also faces the truth: how this one decision left her with regret and shame for years. 

This episode is a masterclass in turning your pain and past failures into straight-up rocket fuel. 

Mel gives life-changing insights that will turn your regret into wisdom that will help you get out of any situation where you feel stuck. 

It’s time to reclaim who you are meant to be and take back control of your life.
