The ‘Let Them Theory’ Will Change Your Relationships feat. Mel Robbins
We are honored to be joined by Mel Robbins, author of the bestselling, life-changing book The Let Them Theory. We talk to her about the theory and how you can apply it to relationships, daily stress, career goals, and family conflicts to live a more free and authentic life. We discuss dating in depth – confusing behavior from someone early on, what’s a true dealbreaker and when to break up, how to know if you’re an energy match, what you can and can’t change about someone, how to have the DTR talk and stay in your power, and more. Mel coaches us on not letting small stressors (like inconsiderate people in the airport) take our energy, and we also talk about managing our mental health and using our voices in the current political climate. Before she joins us, we’re celebrating our 7-year anniversary of the podcast, Ashley gives an update on her roommate, and Rayna reveals why we lose socks in the dryer. Enjoy!
