About this episode

Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

Despite achieving massive success with her latest book “Let Them", today Mel Robbins shares how she spent decades battling self-hatred and constant anxiety until she finally addressed her nervous system's fight-or-flight response rooted in childhood trauma. Mel also reveals how her groundbreaking "Let Them Theory" emerged from a transformative moment at her son's prom, where her daughter's blunt advice changed everything. Her powerful perspective on building self-belief through consistent action rather than external validation offers a blueprint for anyone feeling stuck—success isn't about perfect habits or natural talent but simply showing up when you don't feel like it and refusing to let discouragement win.

Mel’s books:

The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About

The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage

The High 5 Habit: Take Control of Your Life with One Simple Habit

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why success is ultimately about not quitting, even when everything feels impossible
  • How to develop faith in yourself
  • The two biggest obstacles to achievement
  • Why external success never repairs internal self-worth, without addressing your relationship with yourself
  • How to recognize and reset your nervous system when it's stuck in chronic fight-or-flight mode
