Mel Robbins Revisited: From The High 5 Habit to The Let Them Theory

In this week's episode, we're revisiting a powerful conversation that aired back in 2021 — one that's just as relevant today as it was then. Mel Robbins has continued to inspire millions with her practical, science-backed approach to behavior change and personal growth. Since our last chat, she's released a brand-new bestseller, The Let Them Theory, which builds beautifully on the ideas we explored together in this earlier episode.

Whether you're new to Mel's work or a longtime fan, this replay captures timeless insights into managing anxiety, regulating your nervous system, and finding your creative flow — lessons that feel even more essential in today's fast-paced, always-on world.

Mel is a global thought leader, an international bestselling author of The High 5 Habit and The 5 Second Rule, and one of the most trusted voices in personal development. Her TEDx talk, "How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over", has reached over 30 million viewers worldwide.

In this conversation, we explore how anxiety and overwhelm affect creativity and productivity — and how small, consistent actions can help you reset your nervous system, quiet fear, and get back to meaningful work.
Some highlights we explore:

• Why understanding your nervous system is key to unlocking focus and creativity.
• Mel's practical tools for beating overwhelm and reigniting motivation when you're stuck.
• How The High 5 Habit laid the groundwork for her new philosophy in The Let Them Theory.
• Simple daily practices — from mindfulness to micro-goals — that build momentum and self-trust.
• Why now might be the best time ever to create, even when the world feels uncertain.

This episode is a reminder that growth doesn't come from control — it comes from courage, consistency, and letting go. If you've been navigating stress, self-doubt, or creative fatigue, Mel's wisdom will help you reset and reimagine what's possible.

Enjoy the revisit!
