I bet most of us can relate to having negative thoughts on repeat, whether we’ve actually stopped to think about it or not. Our minds have been conditioned and can get stuck on auto-pilot, making us feel helpless, unhappy, and lost.

Today I’m excited to share a conversation with Mel Robbins, all about breaking free from negative thought patterns and incorporating tools to create self-love.

A New York Times bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel’s work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and the #1 ranking The Mel Robbins Podcast. Her female-led media company produces provocative, life-changing content, with millions of books sold, billions of video views, six #1 audiobooks, and one of the most viewed TEDx talks in the world. Her work has been translated into 41 languages and has changed the lives of millions of people worldwide. And despite all this, Mel is one of the most down-to-earth and caring people you’ll ever meet—because it was out of necessity that she discovered the tools and research that transformed her life and got her to where she is today. Mel lives in New England with her husband of 26 years and their three kids, but she is and will always be a Midwesterner at heart.
