The Messy Podcast
About this episode

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 7 of The Messy Podcast!

In this episode, we explore The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins and how to provide the right kind of support to those you care about. This theory emphasizes the importance of offering support with conditions rather than rescuing people from their problems. Enabling others can hinder their healing and prolong their suffering, but when we allow adults to face the consequences of their actions, we help foster their independence. Learn practical ways to create an environment that promotes healing and change while respecting boundaries.
