Despite achieving massive success with her latest book “Let Them, today Mel Robbins shares how she spent decades battling self-hatred and constant anxiety until she finally addressed her nervous system’s fight-or-flight response rooted in childhood trauma. Mel also reveals how her groundbreaking “Let Them Theory” emerged from a transformative moment at her son’s prom, where her daughter’s blunt advice changed everything. Her powerful perspective on building self-belief through consistent action rather than external validation offers a blueprint for anyone feeling stuck—success isn’t about perfect habits or natural talent but simply showing up when you don’t feel like it and refusing to let discouragement win.
