Summary

Jillian sits down with Mel Robbins to unpack the Let Them Theory — a mindset shift that helps you stop trying to control others and start focusing on your own emotional wellbeing. They explore how the urge to control often stems from stress and fear, and how letting go can actually lead to deeper healing, stronger boundaries, and more self-trust. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in relationship patterns that drain you, this conversation offers a path back to clarity and inner strength.
