Episode notes

So many of us walk around with a loud inner critic and a quiet inner cheerleader. In this episode, I have an incredible conversation with the one and only Mel Robbins. She opens up about the darkest moments in her life — losing a dream job, getting dropped by her publisher, and starting over. She also shares why the 5 Second Rule changed her life, but didn’t heal her relationship with herself, and how one unexpected habit helped her shift her mindset completely. She shares the science behind “The High Five Habit,” how it retrains your brain and nervous system, why so many of us resist it at first, and why this practice can literally shift your energy, your relationships, and your life. This isn’t about toxic positivity — it’s about coming home to yourself.
