Podcast appearances and mentions of Mel Robbins

The Beans are back, baby. After a soul-soothing summer break, Mory and Melissa return to the mic, recharged and ready to get real. They're kicking things off with a brand-new segment, Hot or Hype—where the self-help buzz gets the Beans' brutally honest stamp of approval (or not). First up: Mel Robbins' “Let Them” theory. Genius or just good marketing?Next, the gals take a cosmic dive into the Collective Consciousness. What is it, why does it matter, and can it help us meet our Higher Selves?Finally, they tackle a juicy listener question: What do you do when your job feels like a dead end, but fear's got you stuck in place? Spoiler: You're not alone.

We've all heard the advice: “Just go with the flow.” Sometimes it's wise—like when your flight is canceled or you're stuck in traffic. But other times, “going with the flow” can keep you stuck, small, and out of alignment.In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, Light unpacks the difference. You'll learn when surrender truly serves you, and when it becomes an excuse for stagnation. Using stories from finances, relationships, and health, plus a powerful log-jam analogy, Light shows how to recognize the signs that you need to stop flowing and start taking progressive, intuition-led action.If you've ever wondered whether your “flow” is actually keeping you from growth, this conversation will give you clarity—and permission—to make the right moves.Recommended Episodes:The Spiritual Perspective on PolyamoryThe Spiritual Perspective on Mel Robbins' Let Them TheoryFree Resource: For more practices to strengthen your inner work, visit lightwatkins.com/innerworkSend us a text message.

If you've been waiting for permission to start healing after a hard marriage or divorce… this is it. No one is coming to do it for you—and that's not bad news. It's the doorway to your freedom. Stick around to the end for a 7-day “No One Is Coming” challenge you can start today. Hey Joy Seekers—welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. I'm so glad you're here. Today, we're discussing a message that may feel a little jarring at first: No one is coming to save you. It's an idea popularized by Mel Robbins—basically, stop waiting for the perfect moment or for someone to rescue you, and start taking small, courageous steps yourself. She teaches that motivation rarely appears first; action does. When you act, motivation follows. Here's my faith-filled twist: No one is coming to live your life for you… And God is already here to help you take inspired action today! Scripture says, “For God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7) Power + love + a sound mind—that's your toolkit for today. If you're new here, I'm Jenn Zingmark, your LDS life and divorce coach, here to help you navigate the challenges of divorce with faith, grace, and resilience. •Get your The 7-Day Challenge: Stop Waiting: Take Back Your Life After Divorce” here: https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/take-back-your-life-after-divorce • Join my exclusive Life Coaching and Divorce Mentoring Program, Faith Filled Divorce, HERE: httpshttps:https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/program-details • Get your FREE Podcast Atlas at: https://www.findthejoywithjenn.com/joy-in-the-journey-podcast • Make sure you are part of the Find the Joy With Jenn Fam!

You're ready to leave old narratives behind—but what comes next? How do we truly break those deep-rooted cycles?In this empowering episode, Jessica sits down with author, podcaster, and spiritual thoughtleader Elise Loehnen, whose latest workbook, Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, guides us through that “what now?” space. They explore how envy and expansion are connected, why we're never truly alone when struggling with cultural programming, and how to truly release the stories that hold us back. Sharing their own experiences with external validation, fear of lack, and the need for control, they offer a roadmap to rewrite the scripts of perfection, scarcity, and performance, move from awareness to embodiment, reclaim your power, and trust your inner knowing. Overachievers, entrepreneurs, perfectionists, manifestors, and manifesting generators—this episode is sure to empower and inspire you.Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips (with exercises by Jessica Gill) Coming October 21st!Pre-Order NOW Join the Pathway MembershipUse code EXPANDED for 20% off your first month!Join our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge --Now Live!The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are at Join the Pathway now - to get full access to our 2025 Money Challenge and join the Pathway (use code EXPANDED for 20% off first month)New to TBM?

If you could choose just one conversation for your kids to listen to, what wisdom would you want them to take away? In this powerful episode, Jake and Damian explore the timeless lessons that go beyond sport, success, or achievement, lessons designed to shape character, purpose, and resilience for the next generation.From Sam Tomkins' belief in the power of “1% actions,” to Hector Garcia's introduction of Ikigai and living with purpose, and Robin Van Persie's story about responsibility and ownership, the conversation uncovers practical guidance for building character, not just success.Listen in as Jake and Damian reflect on why psychological safety and unconditional support matter most, creating environments where young people feel safe to fail, grow, and thrive.Listen to the episodes mentioned:Sam Tomkins: https://pod.fo/e/14cdefHector Garcia: https://pod.fo/e/172552Robin Van Persie: https://pod.fo/e/18789Mel Robbins: https://pod.fo/e/ed46fVicky Pattison: https://pod.fo/e/105426Lewis Morgan: https://pod.fo/e/11b36eJonathan Haidt: https://pod.fo/e/2a4563Heights

Comparison gets a bad rap—but is it always a bad thing? In this short episode, I'm sharing how comparison can either be a tool for growth or a trap that keeps you stuck.Inspired by Mel Robbins' “Let Them” theory, we'll explore how to shift from self-judgment to self-inquiry when you catch yourself comparing your life to someone else's.You'll learn how to reframe comparison as a signpost toward what you want, rather than proof of what you're lacking.If you've ever felt discouraged after scrolling social media or watching someone else succeed, this episode will help you shift your mindset and use those moments as motivation—not shame.Check out Esther's website for more about her speaking, coaching, book, and more: http://estheravant.com/Buy Esther's Book: To Your Health: https://a.co/d/iDG68qUEsther's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/esther.avantEsther's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/estheravant/Learn more about 1:1 health & weight loss coaching: https://madebymecoaching.com/coaching

In this episode, she opens up about the support that carried her through, the passion that drove her from cosmetology school to business ownership, and the lessons she's learned along the way about confidence, resilience, and entrepreneurship. Alyssa also shares her perspective on redefining beauty, why it's okay to wear the wig if that's what makes you feel like yourself, and how committing to your passion can unlock endless opportunities. Her story is a powerful reminder that even your biggest hurdles can become the start of something extraordinary.

Today we unpack the "Let Them theory," a secular mantra rooted in Buddhism that glorifies self-love over Christ's transformative power. We expose its half-truths and contrast it with the gospel's call to surrender to God for true peace. Plus, we say goodbye to producer Bri as she transitions to a new career calling.

In this deeply moving episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Mühlethaler welcomes Ashley Bernardi, an award-winning podcaster, author, media relations expert, and founder of Nardi Media. Ashley served as a network television news producer for nearly a decade, with credits including CBS News, energyNOW! on Bloomberg TV, and Washington Post Live. She has helped multiple authors launch their books and become New York Times Best Sellers, including Mel Robbins, Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson, and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, with client placements in top-tier outlets like The Washington Post, The New York Times, TODAY, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, NPR, Fortune, and hundreds more.Ashley's personal story begins with profound childhood trauma - losing her father to a sudden heart attack at age 11 - and traces her journey through decades of burying her emotions while excelling professionally as a journalist and PR expert.Ashley shares with Anne how she grew up in a creative military family, with her father serving as an Army colonel at the Pentagon and her mother running a successful dance studio in the DC area. The sudden loss of her beloved dad became a defining moment which brought her to suppress her grief and emotions for over two decades, channeling her energy into professional achievement while struggling with various coping mechanisms.The conversation takes a profound turn as Ashley describes how unprocessed trauma eventually manifested in her body through a severe case of Lyme disease following the birth of her third daughter. After being medically gaslit by numerous doctors, Ashley experienced what she refers to as her "dark night of the soul" –- a moment of complete surrender that finally opened the door to processing her long-buried grief for her father.Ashley details her healing journey, which involved developing daily practices of meditation, journaling, breathwork, therapy, coaching, and more. She explains how learning to "feel her feelings" in real-time became the foundation for both her physical healing and her relationship with her deceased father. The experience transformed her approach to life and work, impacting the work she does at Nardi Media, a PR agency specialising in health, wellness, spirituality, and mission-driven organisations.Throughout their conversation, Anne and Ashley explore the importance of storytelling as both a healing tool and a way to connect with others. Ashley shares practical advice for those wanting to share their own stories, emphasising the difference between written and spoken communication and the necessity of practicing your story out loud. She also discusses her work with renowned clients like Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and Dr. Emma Seppälä, and how her personal healing journey informed her professional mission.The interview concludes with Ashley's insights on the transformative power of authentic connection, the importance of honoring both masculine and feminine energies, and her belief that everyone has healing wisdom within them. She emphasises that feelings are meant to be felt and processed, not buried, and that our authentic power comes from getting quiet and listening to our inner wisdom.A raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful conversation about trauma, healing, and the courage it takes to live authentically.Connect with Ashley:Ashley Bernardi's website: ashleybernardi.comNardi Media: nardimedia.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nardi_media Visit our website Out of the Clouds : https://outoftheclouds.com/Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_outofthecloudsAnne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annvi/Anne on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/annvi.bsky.socialAnne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-v-muhlethaler/Please subscribe and leave us a review ✨ Hosted on Acast.

In this final episode of our Let Them Theory series, we dig into the last three chapters of Mel Robbins' book—and we don't hold back.We talk about why the honeymoon phase blinds us to red flags, how to tell if someone is truly compatible (hint: if you're confused, they're not), and why waiting for a partner to change is wasted time. We also break down the “commitment conversation” that keeps us on equal footing instead of begging for validation, plus the hard truths about breakups—no shortcuts, just growth.From recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns to using a breakup as fuel for self-improvement, this conversation is packed with practical tools for dating, commitment, and letting go.

Are you being tested? Life is full of those frustrating moments—an unexpected bill, a toxic job dynamic, or an unaligned romantic suitor. This episode is your pick-me-up on how to navigate tests and what they really mean in manifestation terms. Lacy and Jessica share that tests aren't here to punish us—they're here to show if we're truly ready for what we're calling in. Each test reflects our subconscious self-worth, asking us to notice old patterns and choose differently this time. Through live channelings, grounded insights, and real-time examples, they walk you through the TBM approach to moving through life's tests with clarity and power. Because your manifestations are already orbiting, and every test is the universe knocking to see if you're ready to receive it.Find the complete show notes here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast Resources: HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips (with exercises by Jessica Gill) Coming October 21st!Pre-Order NOW Join the Pathway MembershipUse code EXPANDED for 20% off your first month!Join our membership to access the TBM Money Challenge -- Now Live!The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.LEARN MORE HERE Get the latest from TBMJoin our Money Challenge - 3 weeks to your next level of abundanceTake our Free Money Quiz - find out what level of wealth consciousness you are at Join the Pathway now - to get full access to our 2025 Money Challenge and join the Pathway (use code EXPANDED for 20% off first month)New to TBM?

Real estate agents are often the face of the industry, but they wouldn't get far without the brilliant minds working behind the scenes. These are the leaders who keep the entire operation running smoothly with their exceptional administrative and operational skills. Today, I'm joined by three incredible women who have mastered this crucial space: Sherrie Porter, Melissa Ryan, and Stephanie Wolf. They'll share their insights and expertise on what it takes to lead in the real estate industry, from the front office to the back end. Grab your cafecito and join us as we explore how a blend of operational excellence and strategic vision creates a foundation for success. Meet The Leaders Sherrie Porter, Chief Operating Officer,  Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, sherrie@ewm.com. Melissa Ryan, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel of Long & Foster Real Estate, MelissaRyan@hsoa.homeservices.com. Stephanie Wolf, General Manager, Pickford Escrow, swolf@pickfordescrow.com. Breaking the Mold: Three Different Journeys into Real Estate Sherry shares her 38-year journey from an entry-level role to COO, highlighting the relationship-driven nature of real estate and her experience in both residential and operational leadership. Melissa discusses her transition from real estate law to a multifaceted executive role, overseeing property management, legal, and operational functions for thousands of agents. Stephanie recounts her unique entry into escrow, emphasizing California's apprenticeship model and her path from entry-level to managing multiple branches. Defining Leadership Styles Each of the ladies describes their views on a people-centered approach: Stephanie focuses on pragmatism, advocacy, and making sure “people matter.” Sherry emphasizes servant leadership, strategic thinking, and leading by example. Melissa prioritizes a “people first” mindset, ensuring culture and operational efficiency go hand in hand. Building a Culture of Belonging and Support Melissa emphasizes the powerful impact of putting people where their passions and strengths align. Her strategy is less about implementing a single system and more about intentionally understanding what excites each team member. Stephanie underscores the importance of teamwork and an inclusive, collaborative culture across her organization. She credits much of their success to intentionally breaking down silos between departments and operational “core services” (such as escrow and sales). Sherry Porter focuses on maximizing each person's unique strengths and maintaining a mindset of continuous growth and adaptability. She uses insights from books like Marcus Buckingham's Now, Discover Your Strengths to intentionally place people in positions where they naturally excel. Supporting & Elevating Women Stephanie shares how in Southern California, that 87% of escrow branch leaders are women. Her company actively promotes and uplifts women as they grow in their careers by offering training classes, advisory committees, and brainstorming sessions.There's a culture of supporting women at all career stages, so they have opportunities to participate, learn, and advance. Sherry is intentional about seeking out and building a bench of future leaders, especially as her organization experiences changes among top leadership. She empowers women by challenging them, giving them opportunities, and offering her support—focusing on questions that get to the heart of what might help women move forward or get “unstuck.” Melissa believes women in leadership must take responsibility for building a bench of future women leaders. She directly supports women in her organization—though not through a formal mentorship program, she actively identifies talent and provides growth and learning opportunities so women can step into bigger roles. Recommended Resources & Inspiration Stephanie mentioned her admiration for Simon Sinek, quoting, "We have the luxury of looking after ourselves, but we have the honor of looking after each other," which reflects her value of team and collective success. She also follows Mel Robbins for motivation and recommended Mary Claire Haver, a Texas-based doctor who leads a revolution for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.  Melissa highlighted the book "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," emphasizing the importance of having a growth mindset, especially in times of industry change. Sherry Porter recommended the book "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham. She also talked about "The Power of Moments" by Chip and Dan Heath.

So obviously she had to wait until Monday. And then of course, Monday wasn't good either. Because there were leftovers. That's how starting works, doesn't it? It always feels like it should happen later. But here's the thing. Waiting doesn't get us anywhere. Today we're talking about why fear of starting feels so powerful and how you can finally take that first step, even when it feels scary. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Doctor Leelo Bush. I'm a master coach, author, curriculum creator, and the number one authority on Spirit-led Christian coaching. I've trained tens of thousands worldwide since 2003. And if you are ready to uplevel your skills, find greater fulfillment, and employ the most powerful coaching available to mankind, let's go. Welcome to the Christian Coaching School podcast. I'm your host, Doctor Leelo Bush, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. Whether you're a long-time listener or if this is your first time joining us, you are in the right place. This is where we talk about Christian coaching, counseling, and life transformation from a biblical perspective, always with practical tools you can use right away. Today's episode is one I know will encourage you, because we're talking about overcoming the fear of starting, or what I call breaking the start barrier. Sometimes we can identify it as it's happening, and sometimes it happens unconsciously. But I believe any of us can fall victim to this. If you've ever had a God-given dream, an idea, or a goal you couldn't seem to begin, you're in the right place. This episode is going to help you move past fear, silence those voices that say you're not ready, and step forward in faith with courage. Starting anything new often feels like skydiving without a parachute. Our brains are wired to keep us safe, not to make us successful. That primitive part of our mind would rather you stay right where you are—comfortable, familiar, predictable. It's why your heart races and your inner voice starts shouting, “Danger!” the moment you think about beginning something new. I'll admit I've done the same thing. I delayed writing my first book for months because I told myself I didn't have the time to do it right. The truth? I had the time to do whatever was important to me, just like you do. I just hadn't made it a priority. And once it became a priority, I got it done. You might be familiar with my book, The Comprehensive Christian Coach Handbook. It's gotten great reviews, and now it's in its second edition. In case you'd like to read it, you can find it on Amazon and lots of other booksellers. You can either search the title or my name to find it, and I'll also put a link in the show notes for you. But here's the reality. Everybody feels constrained by something. In my case, it was lack of time. You might not feel ready for other reasons. Even those among us who look fearless on the outside have to battle that same dread. And let me be real with you—this message is for me as much as it is for you. You may know I've been in the online education industry for over 22 years now. Over that time, I've created programs, trained thousands, and built a strong institution. Since 2003, we have been early adopters in Christian coaching and creators of the Flow Spirit-led coaching model, and so much more. But here's something you probably don't know. There has been one particular piece of software I've had my eye on for nearly that entire time, and never fully mastered. Because of that, we haven't always grown to our full potential. Now, don't get me wrong—we are thriving and strong. But this one missing piece has been like a puzzle with only one corner done. Well, this past weekend I finally decided it was time. I immersed myself in learning it. Yes, I could have hired someone to do it, and I'm sure that would have been easier. But I believe at the core we need to understand the systems we rely on so that if something goes wrong, we can troubleshoot with confidence. And here's the good news. After nearly two decades of delay, it's finally complete. It's a major milestone that will make a huge difference in our reach. But I share these stories with you for a reason—because we all share the same challenges with starting. And sometimes, like me, we can put it off for months or years, even decades, when deep down we know it's important. My prayer for you is that your thing doesn't take 20 years to conquer like mine did. And this is where I love to lean on God's Word. Isaiah 41:10 says, “So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you.” Isn't that liberating? You don't have to start alone. God is right there with you at the starting line, ready to support you when you obediently step into your calling. And speaking of stepping into what God has called you to do, this is exactly why I am so passionate about equipping you to serve with confidence in your calling. Right now is enrollment season for our Christian coaching, counseling, and specialty coaching training and certification programs. These are the very courses that give you the skills, tools, and credentials to help others create transformation while growing in your own walk and purpose. If you've been feeling that nudge from the Lord to step forward in your calling, this is the perfect time to say yes. You can find all the details and enroll today at pccca.org/courses. Let's get you trained, certified, and ready for God to promote you to make an even greater kingdom impact. Now let's talk about what fear of starting can look like in our everyday lives. Because it doesn't just make you hesitate. It whispers lies that sound almost believable. Fear tells you you're not ready, so you wait, thinking you'll start when you're smarter, richer, thinner, or more prepared. But here's the truth—readiness is not something that comes before the journey. It's something that develops along the way. Fear also says you need to know everything before you begin. But life doesn't work like a GPS that shows you the entire route. More often, God gives you just the next turn. You step out, and then the path ahead becomes clear. Action brings clarity. Waiting only brings more waiting and missing out on opportunities. And then there's the big one: “If you fail, it'll be a disaster.” Fear paints the worst-case scenario—people will laugh, you'll lose everything. But failure isn't final. It's actually a learning experience. Either we succeed or we learn something. It's sometimes even more valuable than succeeding right away. It builds character and demonstrates your obedience to God. I didn't understand this when I was young. Each time I would try and fail at something, I would suffer with failure shame, when it was actually part of my growth into the person I am today. Not a bad thing at all, but because I didn't know that then, I wasted a lot of time worrying about it. Thankfully, it didn't stop me from trying. The truth is, most of the time nobody is even paying attention as closely as you think, and when you stumble, it's feedback—not the end. Fear exaggerates. It invents stories that are bigger than reality. It's like a bad fortune teller that never gets it right, yet we keep listening. The good news is, we don't have to believe those lies anymore. So if fear is whispering lies, how do you break through and finally begin? The first step is to shrink the action down to something so small it's almost laughable. If you want to write a book, type a single sentence. If you want to run a marathon, put on your sneakers and walk to the mailbox. Small steps disarm fear because they're hard to argue with. The second key is to stop keeping it to yourself. Fear loves silence. It thrives in isolation. But the moment you speak your goal out loud—whether to a trusted friend, a mentor, or even in a small online group—you begin to create accountability. Suddenly, you're not just thinking about it. You're moving toward it. And third, remember momentum. Think of fear like a huge boulder sitting in the road. The hardest part is moving it that first inch. But once it starts rolling, you don't need nearly as much effort to keep it going. Your job isn't to move the boulder a mile today. It's just to nudge it forward an inch. One inch today, another tomorrow. And before long, fear is no longer in charge. One of my favorite tools is what author Mel Robbins calls the Five-Second Rule. You count down: five, four, three, two, one—and then you act. You don't debate. You don't overthink. You just move. And that tiny action, taken quickly, often opens the door for a bigger breakthrough. Breaking what I call the start barrier isn't about erasing fear. It's actually about refusing to let fear have the loudest voice in the room. You'll never feel completely ready. I don't, and you don't have to. Courage is not the absence of fear. It's choosing to move forward in spite of it. And once you begin, momentum takes over. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” Notice it doesn't say wait until you have the perfect plan or the perfect resources. It says commit. Start. Step out in faith. And as you do, God moves pieces into place that you could never have arranged on your own. So here's my challenge for you today: don't wait for the perfect Monday, or the perfect circumstances, or the perfect plan. Take one small step toward the thing God has been nudging you to do. Just one. Maybe it's sending that email, or opening a notebook, or making a phone call, or visiting our courses page. Whatever it is, don't overthink it. Just start. Because the sooner you begin, the sooner you'll see God multiply your efforts. And remember, I'm saying this to myself just as much as I'm saying it to you. This is a message I need too. But together we can stop waiting, stop delaying, and start walking forward into the calling God has for us. I'm Doctor Leelo Bush, and you've been listening to the Christian Coaching School podcast.

In this episode, Will reconnects with his friend Chris Robbins, founder of Soul Degree men's retreats and husband of bestselling author Mel Robbins. Chris shares his journey from corporate burnout to creating outdoor retreats where men come together to heal, connect, and reset. Having attended two Soul Degree retreats himself, Will describes the impact of hiking, fire pits, and time in nature—experiences that inspired him to launch his own retreats for men at White Mountain Adventure Institute. The conversation also explores the global success of The Let Them Theory, written by Mel Robbins with their daughter Sawyer, and how its message overlaps with Chris's work.

Have you ever found yourself replaying someone's words or actions in your head — stewing over what they did, what they said, or what they didn't do? Maybe it was the friend who didn't invite you out, the coworker who claimed credit for your idea, or the family member who just can't see your side of things. Here's the truth: the fastest path to inner peace might be just two words. Let them. In this week's episode of Monday Morning Mojo, I dive into Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory—a concept that's taking the self-help world by storm. Born from a viral social post, this simple idea has exploded into a movement, helping millions of people release unnecessary stress and reclaim their peace. Listen Now to learn: Why “let them” is so powerful (and why it gives you back your control) The second half of the equation—“let me”—and how it empowers intentional choices How to reduce overwhelm, anxiety, and frustration in your daily life with the Let Them Theory A simple challenge you can start practicing this week to protect your energy and peace If you've been feeling overwhelmed by noise, negativity, or the pressure to control what's outside of your hands, this episode is the reminder you've been waiting for. Resources Mentioned in the Show: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins (book) Episode 34 - What I Learned from Tony Robbins Quotes to Remember: Stop trying to control how other people act. Let them be exactly who they are showing you they are. The less time I spend trying to control other people, the more energy I have for what matters to me. Peace, focus, and joy are waiting on the other side of what you can't control. Journal Prompts: What are some steps I can take to be less reactive to situations? What are some ways I can focus more on what I CAN control? Why do I spend so much time worrying about other people's reactions or opinions?

In this episode of Mindfully Masculine, Charles and Dan dive into Chapters 16 and 17 of Mel Robbins' The Let Them Theory: The More You Rescue, The More They Sink and How to Provide Support the Right Way.They explore why stepping in to “rescue” often backfires, how shame and denial complicate real support, and why presence and patience are more powerful than quick fixes. Along the way, they share stories about hidden struggles, money boundaries, and what it means to be a calm, nonjudgmental presence in a crisis.Listeners will also hear a candid discussion of “harmful help” versus healthy support, the psychology of ignoring warnings until consequences hit, and how frameworks from Gretchen Rubin and BJ Fogg can shape motivation and lasting change.If you've ever felt torn between helping someone you love and protecting your own peace, this conversation will help you navigate the difference between rescuing and truly supporting.Support the show

For our last August hiatus episode, we're looking back at a conversation we ran back in February of this year — exploring the work of attorney turned self-help guru Mel Robbins.Did Mel steal the concept of “let them?” Is she just Andrew Huberman for the “We Can Do Hard Things” crowd? Is high-fiving yourself in the mirror every morning a diet? As you'll hear, Corinne and I didn't totally agree… until we did.

We called it “Leadership Day,” and the results were more powerful than I ever imagined. If your team has been running on fumes, this might be the pause that propels you forward.

Quote of the Day: "I was 41, unemployed, we'd lost $800,000. When my husband said he wanted to start a business instead of getting a job, I said 'Listen buddy, inspiration is for strangers - you get your butt back to that job and pay the mortgage.'

About the Show:“Why did nobody tell me about this?”– Dr. Kristin MarkellIn this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, host Randy Wilburn sits down with Dr. Kristin Markell, an integrative medicine specialist helping women navigate the often-overlooked journey of perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Markell combines her experience as a traditional OB/GYN with holistic, whole-person strategies to provide personalized care for women in Northwest Arkansas and beyond.Together, Randy and Dr. Markell break down the basics of perimenopause and menopause—including what these terms really mean, when symptoms can start, and why every woman's experience is unique. Dr. Markell shares her personal and professional journey, the frustration women feel about the lack of education on these topics, and how integrative medicine can help women feel their best through this stage of life.The episode also explores how families, employers, and the wider community can better support women during this transition, as well as the emerging innovations and digital tools empowering women to take charge of their health.If you're a woman, love a woman, work with women, or are simply curious, this is an important conversation for you.Key Takeaways:Menopause is natural but often misunderstood: Most women aren't taught about perimenopause and menopause early enough. Symptoms can start as early as a woman's 30s—not just in the 50s or 60s—and everyone's experience is different.Definitions matter: Menopause is officially when a woman hasn't had a period for one year; perimenopause is the 7-10 years leading up to that.Symptoms are more than hot flashes: Every area of the body can be affected, from brain fog and anxiety to fatigue, aches, and sexual health changes.You don't have to “just deal with it”: Dr. Markell urges women not to “white knuckle” through symptoms—there are treatments and support, including both hormonal and non-hormonal options.Integrative medicine offers personalized care: Dr. Markell's approach looks at the whole person, from nutrition to stress to long-term wellness, not just the symptoms.Support is a team effort: Family, partners, co-workers, and employers all play a role in helping women thrive during this time.Resources are growing: New digital tools, wearables, and dedicated clinics (including right here in NWA!) are giving women greater access to care and information.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show* Dr. Kristin Markell's Website: https://kristinmarkellmd.comThe Menopause Society: https://www.menopause.orgDr. Markell on Instagram: @kristenmarkellmdDr. Markell on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristinmarkellmd/Contact Dr. Markell's Office: 479-222-0966You can listen to the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast weekly on KUAF 91.3 FM's Ozarks at Large(Other resources and episodes mentioned: Mel Robbins, “The Diary of a CEO” with Steven Bartlett, Dr. Peter Attia & Dr. Rachel Rubin Podcast, Midi Health, Electra Health)FindItNWA.com NWA's Hyperlocal Business DirectoryThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"

I'm starting a project exploring the history of self-help; where the ideas came from, how they've changed over time, and what they mean for us today. This episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast is my chance to set some intentions, explain why I feel drawn to do this, and share how you can get involved if you want to join me for the ride. I'm not starting this project with the end in mind. Sorry, Stephen Covey, but I'm rebelling against the second habit of highly effective people. I honestly don't know how this will look or where it will take me. I'm just intrigued to dig into the backstory of personal development and positive thinking, and explore how it became an industry worth an estimated around $40 billion in 2024, projected to more than double by 2033. Self-help shapes how millions of us think about ourselves, our relationships, our struggles, and our potential. I want to look at where it came from, how it works, and what it's doing to us now. https://youtu.be/GMowyoc4TeA This isn't about belittling self-help I want to approach this with a curious and critical open mind, not a cynical one. I've personally gained insight, tools, and practices from authors in the personal development space. So, I have experienced the value of resources and authors under the broad self-help umbrella. But I do have some questions. One in particular that has long been on my mind...with the ideas in self-help are as widely adopted as they are, why haven't they “worked” in the big-picture sense? Why now feels like a good moment to examine the rise of self-help We're living in a strange mix of economic precarity, post-pandemic disorientation, the maturing of influencer culture, and now AI churning out self-help style advice at industrial speed. If self-help reflects and responds to the anxieties of its time, then this moment feels like a perfect point to ask whether it might be contributing to those same anxieties it claims to ease. The quote that caught my attention About 12 years ago, I read The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman. One idea in it has stuck with me ever since: “Perhaps you don't need telling that self-help books… rarely much help. This is why some self-help publishers refer to the ‘eighteen-month rule', which states that the person most likely to purchase any given self-help book is someone who, within the previous eighteen months, purchased a self-help book—one that evidently didn't solve all their problems.” I was a big reader of personal development books at the time, especially those that spoke to building online businesses around creativity. They gave me a sense of forward momentum and excitement about future possibilities, but I could also feel myself on a treadmill. Old dissatisfaction was replaced with new. That quote made me wonder if the self-help industry insists on not solving our problems. Which makes sense when you think about it...why would a market secure its own demise? It needs to keep inventing new problems to solve. Otherwise it collapses. The 18-month rule and endless repackaging Some people enjoy the sense of growth that comes from reading a new book, and there's nothing wrong with that. But from my experience, a lot of them say the same thing in different clothing. Different anecdotes. Different metaphors. Same structure. So why do we keep reading? And why does the market keep producing more? The Mel Robbins example Earlier this year, I looked into whether Mel Robbins had plagiarised a poem by Cassie Phillips and made up the story that inspired her book The Let Them Theory. I bought and read the book as part of my research. It's not my usual reading choice, and I hadn't read a new personal development book in years. Two things struck me: The writing felt more like marketing copy than the work of a writer. The ideas weren't new; just repackaged versions of stoicism,
