Mel Robbins

You’re not “just being realistic” - you’re rehearsing a reality that might not ever be real. 

Worrying, ruminating, trying to plan for every worst-case scenario… that all FEELS safe and productive. But doing it too much will exhaust you and hold you back. 

So make a plan for if everything goes wrong, then put it away.

Then ask yourself, “what if it all works out?”

You can’t argue with that question. 

Because just like you have no proof that everything will work out, you have no proof that it won’t.

So while you’re rehearsing for futures where it all goes wrong, rehearse for the ones where it all goes right.

There’s something about your unique DNA, your inner compass, your soul, that pulls you towards your dream.

Your dream is personal. It’s not meant to make sense to anyone else.

So if other people’s opinions are currently holding you back from pursuing the thing you’ve always wanted to pursue, the most important thing you can do is Let Them.

Let Them judge you.
Let Them misunderstand you.
Let Them worry that it might not work out.

Then say to yourself:
“Let Me walk in the direction of things that call to me.”
“Let Me do what matters to me.”
“Let me live the kind of life I want to live.”

Their doubt is theirs. Your future is yours.

As the stuff on your end-of-year to-do list starts piling up, here’s a little reminder if you’re sitting there stressing about the week ahead:

Don’t waste your precious Sundays worrying about Mondays.

The end of the year has a way of turning into a sprint - getting ahead at work, travel, schedules, managing family dynamics, cooking for the holidays, and the pressure to be “on.”

It’s easy to slip into a spiral right now.

But while you can’t control what’s coming this week, you CAN control how you show up for it and how you spend this moment.

Maybe that means closing the laptop a little earlier tonight, getting outside for a walk, or just letting yourself enjoy your night without having your mind think about holiday chaos.

Or maybe it means making tomorrow morning easier by picking out your clothes, prepping your lunch, or taking 5 minutes to write a to-do list - so you’re starting Monday organized and grounded.

Monday - and the pressure cooker that is the holiday season - will come no matter what. And you can decide to arrive resentful that you spent your Sunday worrying about the week, or glad you spent it taking care of yourself in whatever way you needed to.

When Dr. Karl Pillemer interviewed thousands of people in their 80s, 90s, and 100s, he asked them what they regret most about their lives.

Their answer wasn’t the mistakes they made.

It was the chances they didn’t take.
The job they talked themselves out of.
The move they were too scared to make.
The idea they kept saying they’d get to “someday.”

And here’s the wild part:
These are people who lived through the Depression, scarcity, and real risk - yet they STILL say their biggest mistakes were the things they didn’t say yes to.

So if an opportunity is sitting in front of you right now, and your only hesitation is fear or uncertainty?

Their advice is simple:

Unless you have a really strong reason to say no… say yes.

Future-you will thank you for it.

This is the career advice 80, 90, and even 100-year-olds want you to know NOW:

It comes from thousands of people in their 80s, 90s, and 100s who were interviewed by Cornell University professor Dr. Karl Pillemer about the biggest lessons of their lives:

1. A job you love is worth more than any salary.

At the end of your life, you won’t say, “I wish I’d chased a bigger paycheck.”
Doing anything just for the money will cost you. You’ll regret the years you spent in jobs that made you miserable. 

Money matters, for sure. But once your basic needs are met, meaning and fulfillment matter way more.

2. Say yes to opportunities.

Your biggest regrets won’t be about what you did. 

They’ll be about what you didn’t do.

The chances you never took, the cool role you turned down, the move you were scared to make, the idea you never tried.  

Unless you have a strong reason to say no, say yes and just go for it.

And remember: this advice is coming from a generation that…

Lived through the Depression Era and understands financial hardship and scarcity…

Stayed in one job or at one company for most of their careers…

…and they STILL say no amount of money is worth toiling away at something you don’t enjoy.

So here’s your nudge from future-you:

You’re gonna spend so much of your life at work. 
You owe it to yourself to enjoy it.

I talked to Dr. Pillemer on The Mel Robbins Podcast about what people in the later years of their lives have learned about regret, happiness, and purpose. If you’re searching for more meaning in your life, start with our conversation - it’s linked in the comments.

If you weren’t spending your time in the job or career you’re in right now - how would you spend your time?

Would you finally explore that dream business?
Learn a new skill?
Try something creative?

This question isn’t about blowing up your life. It’s about seeing that you’ve always had more options than you realize.

Most of us don’t give ourselves permission to change until life forces it.

But what if you gave yourself that permission now?

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I’m sharing the 3 questions you need to ask yourself today, developed by professors at Stanford University, that will shake up how you think about your work, your relationships, your life purpose, and the direction you’re heading right this second. I’ll link it in the comments.

Hoda Kotb is a reminder that you’re allowed to outgrow that career you’ve built - whether you’ve been in it for years or decades.

She started out as a journalist, and worked her way up to one of the most coveted roles in news: co-anchor of the Today Show. 

She loved her job. She excelled at it. But after almost 20 years of doing it, something shifted.

It was during her 60th birthday party that the Today Show threw for her in Rockefeller Plaza. People flew in from all over the country to celebrate with her. Two of her favorite bands performed. 

It was a beautiful celebration. And in that moment, she felt an inner knowing that  this was the best it was ever going to get. 

As she told me on The Mel Robbins Podcast, she realized she had climbed to the top of that tree - and it was time to find a different one.

So, at the peak of her career, she quit. 

Since then, she launched a tech company. She’s never worked in tech. She’s never run a company. But at the age of 60, this was a new tree she was called to climb.

And in September, she released her second #1 New York Times bestseller, Jump and Find Joy.

Hoda is proof that it’s never too late to…

Reassess your current path…
Try something new…
Be a beginner again…
Reinvent yourself…
And find immense success doing it.

So if your gut’s been telling you it’s time for a new chapter, listen to it. This conversation with Hoda on The Mel Robbins Podcast will give you the courage to take the next step. I’ll link it in the comments.

5 Lessons on Career Reinvention from Hoda Kotb

There’s something you need to hear: venting doesn't work. 

According to a study from The Ohio State University, when you vent and replay the drama over and over, you’re not releasing the anger - you’re reinforcing it.

Venting to your coworker when someone’s bothering you at work feels good in the moment…but it’s actually wiring your brain to stay angry. 

That’s why it feels like nothing ever changes.

You’re just reliving the same emotional loop.

So here’s your challenge:

The next time someone’s behavior triggers you, don’t vent - pause.

Use The Let Them Theory as your tool:

Let Them act how they’re going to act.
Let Me remember why I’m here.

You’re not there to fix them. You’re there to do your job. 

Focus on your “why” - maybe it’s to grow in your role, or to push the work forward.. Maybe it’s just to do work you’re proud of.

When you ground yourself in that, you take your power back instantly. Because when you don’t let yourself get dragged into other people’s drama, you free up time and energy to focus on what’s important.

In a recent episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I shared 5 powerful rules for dealing with difficult people - so you can stop reacting, start responding, and take your peace back.

🎧 “The Let Them Theory: How to Take Back Your Peace & Power” - linked in the comments.

Here’s why your habits don’t stick:

It’s not because you’re lazy.
It’s not because you “lack discipline.”

It's because you’re missing one bit of information that will change everything.

In today’s episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I’m joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg, who is breaking down the three small habits that change your life with the least amount of effort.

This is the reset you need to finish the year with energy and focus.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to step outside your comfort zone - this is it.

And who better to share her journey than Shonda Rhimes, who came to the hard realization that she was hiding behind her fears and her characters, denying herself the chance to create the life she wanted?

In this recent episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I sit down with the legendary Shonda Rhimes - the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, and Executive Producer of Bridgerton and How to Get Away with Murder - to talk about the life-changing lessons behind her book, Year of Yes.

She’s sharing 5 rules that will help you stop hiding behind fear and start living the life you actually want.

This conversation is your wake-up call to take action, even when it’s scary.

🎧 “The Secret to Stopping Fear & Creating the Future You Want with Shonda Rhimes” - linked in the comments.

The people who earn REAL status at work are not the people with fancy titles or a million years of tenure.

They’re the ones who’ve mastered communication. 

According to Harvard Business School’s Dr. Alison Wood Brooks, there are four communication skills you should master in order to boost your status.

And it’s extra important to get good at these skills if:

- You don’t have a lot of formal authority - but want to get ahead;
- You have projects you need to push forward;
- You want better opportunities at work;
- You lead a team and need people to listen when you speak.

Because the way you communicate shapes how people see you, and whether or not they take you seriously.

Here are the four skills, and how you can practice each one:

How much status do you think you have at work? Not power. Not popularity. Status. Here’s how Harvard Business School associate professor and communica

You Don't Need a Better Title to Increase Your Status at Work

If you’re constantly shrinking, people-pleasing, or walking on eggshells at work… stop. You’re not getting ahead - you’re burning out.

That’s why you need The Let Them Theory. It’s the most powerful mindset shift you can make in your career.

Let Them underestimate you. Let Them think what they want. And say to yourself, “Let Me stay focused.”

Huge thanks to LinkedIn News and the incredible Mary Wilson for this conversation!

Ready to take back control of your career from others?

“You need to start saying ‘Let them'," says Mel Robbins, author and creator of “The Let Them Theory.” "Let them judge what I'm gonna say at work in a meeting.”

Passion for your work can sometimes make you overly concerned about what people think. 

“ Stop focusing on everybody else. Let them. And let me focus on the actions and the attitude that I can have that actually advances your career… and you will.”
