Let Them by Mel Robbins. Break free from fear and self-doubt.

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. It’s not about giving up; it’s about gaining your freedom.🔹 Shift Your Focus, Reclaim Your Power (Clip: 4m09)In a deeply personal story, Mel reveals a turning point where she recognized the emotional toll of trying to manage others. She explains how she shifted her focus back to her own goals and values—highlighting how “letting them” also means letting yourself thrive.🔹 Wisdom from the Stoics with Ryan Holiday (Clip: 49s)Modern Stoic Ryan Holiday joins the conversation with a powerful connection between Mel’s theory and ancient philosophy. Echoing thinkers like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, Holiday reminds us that peace comes not from control, but from surrendering to what is outside our influence. The takeaway? Let it be.🔹 Letting Go Is an Act of Strength (Clip: 2m18)In her closing thoughts, Mel offers a grounded and realistic view: letting others go their own way doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re wise.
