Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast.

You are in for one heck of a conversation today. So let me just start right at the top.

If you've ever wondered why you feel stuck or if deep down, you feel like you're acting like someone you're not,

let me tell you something. This is the truth you need to hear today. I'm talking real talk,

because we're going to go there today. If fear, shame, regret, or resentment are holding you back

and you feel like you can't break free, if you've got big goals but you're the one who keeps

putting them off, if some part of you believes it is just too late to change, this episode is going to be

your wake-up call. Because today, you're going to meet one of the most inspiring human beings I've

ever met. His name is Wallace Peoples, but you may know him as

Wallo. Wallow spent 25 years in prison, but this is not a prison story. This is a freedom story.

See, when Wallow walked out of prison, he had $1,000, a used iPhone, and a promise to make his life

count. Today, he's a media powerhouse with millions

of views across every social media platform every single week. He's a truth teller, a man who's

built an empire from a blueprint he wrote when he was behind bars. And he says something,

I'll never forget, and neither will you.

There's more people incarcerated mentally in the free world than there are in prison.

And after you hear what he has to say, you're going to realize he's right.

If you've ever wondered why you feel stuck and how to finally get moving, this conversation is going to shift you.

This is real talk about how to eliminate self-doubt, stop waiting, and start becoming the person

you know you're meant to be. And by the way, I got to tell you something. I don't want your kids

in the car if you're listening in the car. I don't want you turning this up in the kitchen because this conversation is going to get passionate. And I've already warned my team. When Wallow starts going, you better keep your hand on the recording dial because, holy cow, it's like part sermon, part half time coach. Your team is down. The coach is mad. He's yelling at you and he's telling you the truth. and this is the truth you need to hear. Because the fact is, you're the one in your own way. And so I don't want to be hearing from you. I don't like any case because this is a conversation for adults. And sometimes adults need to hear words that are a little harsh because that's what it's going to take for you to wake up. All right, I've warned you.

And here's another warning.
