What if peace of mind could be found in just two words?In this eye-opening episode of the Moonshots Podcast, hosts Mike and Mark explore Mel Robbins's viral wisdom and groundbreaking mindset shift: the Let Them theory.Built on the idea that true growth comes from letting go, this episode is packed with stories, strategies, and Stoic inspiration to help you reclaim your focus and free your mind.🧠 What You’ll Learn🔹 Intro to the “Let Them” Theory (Clip: 2m45)Mel opens the episode by explaining where the Let Them theory came from—and why it resonated with millions. Whether it's your partner, your boss, or your critics on the internet, Robbins argues that we spend too much time reacting to other people’s behavior. Instead of fighting it, just... let them.
