Episode Synopsis

Want to chat? Send me a message xxThis week, I dive into the viral Mel Robbins “Let Them” theory — the mindset hack that’s been shared across social media as the ultimate solution for handling other people’s behavior.In short, Mel’s theory suggests that when someone does something that bothers you — flaking, criticizing, pulling away — you simply say, “Let them.” It’s about radical acceptance and freeing yourself from the emotional labor of control.But here’s the thing: something about it didn’t sit right with me. I get the appeal, and I see why so many people swear by it… but I wasn’t blown away. In fact, I think it misses something crucial — especially for women who’ve spent their whole lives people-pleasing, over-giving, or absorbing blame that was never theirs.So in this episode, I offer an alternative. A new lens. One that still protects your peace — but also empowers your voice, your boundaries, and your self-worth.👀 Curious? Trust me, you’ll want to hear this.🎧 Listen now — and let me know on Instagram: are you Team Let Them… or Team Something Deeper?👉 If this episode hits home, share it with your bestie or tag me on stories.
