Mel Robbins will be the first to tell you she's not a therapist,

but she has made it her mission to give people simple, practical tools to live better lives,

whether it's through the Mel Robbins podcast, one of the most popular podcasts in the world,

through viral online videos reaching more than 35 million followers, or best-selling books like

the Let Them Theory, a deceptively simple idea that's changing the way millions of people think

and live. I sat down with Mel Robbins for a Meet the Moment conversation about how she

turned her own darkest moment into a self-help movement.

All right, Mel Robbins, welcome to meet the press.

Well, thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here.

Thank you for being here. We're really honored and we're looking forward to this discussion.

You have really started in some ways a movement with your let them theory.

You have an entire book, which I've read.

I absolutely found so much inspiration from Mel.

Most people are familiar with the let them theory, but for the folks who aren't, how would you, in the most simple terms,

describe what the let them theory is? The let them theory is very simple. If you stop trying to

control and change other people suddenly, you have more time, energy, and power in your own life

to focus on yourself and improving

it.

That's it.

That releasing control gives you so much control and peace back.

It's not let it go because you follow let them with let me.

Why is that an important component?
