In this special conversation, just the two of us, we dive into the buzziest book in the self-help world right now: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. We’re talking about what this viral concept really means, how it shows up in our own lives, and why it’s struck a chord with so many women craving less stress, less people-pleasing, and a whole lot more inner peace.
We open up about prom timelines, birthday party control spirals, and the emotional journey of being moms, business owners, and recovering overfunctioners. This episode is all about learning to let people be who they are—and learning how to give yourself the same permission.
Whether you’re in a season of setting boundaries, breaking old patterns, or simply trying to chill out—this one’s for you.
In This Episode:
What The Let Them Theory actually means—and why it’s resonating
How letting go of control creates more peace and freedom
Personal stories of letting go (even when it’s hard!)
Why the “let me” part is actually the harder—and most important—step
How to reclaim your joy, especially in transitional seasons of life
