Summary

MEL ROBBINS HAS ENTERED THE BUILDING! I had an out of body experience interviewing Mel. She is everything I wanted her to be and more. Mel and I discuss her own relationship - how it started and how she makes it work, how to apply Let Them and the 5 second rule to modern dating, relationship lessons she’s learned the hard way, her favorite age of her kids, why she hates dating rules, and so much more.

1:22.2	just so excited for you to listen to this episode. I know she's been on a few podcasts before, but I really wanted to make it a
1:29.1	different experience for you guys. So I really hope that you walk away feeling like you know
