In this episode of Why Not Now?, we revisit Amy Jo’s interview with bestselling author, speaker, and global thought leader Mel Robbins - and the conversation is as raw, real, and revelatory as ever.
Mel opens up about her incredible journey from burned-out attorney to one of the most booked female speakers in the world. At the heart of her transformation? A single moment at an Oprah Winfrey event that sparked a visceral reaction and led to a cascade of courageous decisions. Mel shares how she built her powerhouse platform by learning to trust her inner wisdom - and by inventing one of the simplest, most powerful tools for action: The 5 Second Rule.
You’ll learn how to spot your own “Why Not Now?” moments, how to use your energy gauge to make better decisions, and why starting before you're ready might just be the secret to real progress.
From facing bankruptcy to building a seven-figure business, Mel’s story is a masterclass in resilience, clarity, and courage. Whether you're feeling stuck, seeking purpose, or just need a push to get out of your head and into motion - this episode delivers.
