  • How to Build a Better Future: 2 Simple Questions That Uplevel Your Life Immediately
    Jul 11 2026

    Two simple questions can change the way you make decisions, spend your time, and build your future.

    In today’s episode, Mel sits down with Seth Godin, one of the most influential thinkers of our time and one of Mel’s most trusted mentors.

    Seth has written more than 20 bestselling books, taught millions of people how to think differently, and shaped the way Mel thinks about success, confidence, purpose, business, and making an impact.

    Today, Seth is sharing the advice Mel wishes everyone could hear, particularly when it comes to business and success.

    His wisdom will make you rethink how you spend your time, what you say yes to, what you keep avoiding, what you need to quit, and what kind of future you are building.

    You can use this advice for anything:

    Your goals.

    Your career.

    Your business.

    Your creative ideas.

    Your next decision.

    The thing you keep talking yourself out of.

    The life you say you want, but have not started building yet.

    Seth will show you how to stop chasing the wrong things, stop measuring the wrong things, and stop trying to be everything to everyone.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    -The 2 questions that will help you make better decisions immediately

    -How to know what is worth your time and what is not (this works for everything!)

    -Why trying to please everyone keeps you stuck

    -How to stop hiding behind being busy, perfecting the plan, or waiting to feel ready

    -Why the right decision and the right outcome are not the same thing

    -How you know when to quit and when to keep going

    -Why criticism from the wrong people can pull you off track

    -Why doing work you’re proud of changes the way you feel about your life

    -How to build a future that feels more honest, meaningful, and aligned

    This is not just advice about business or career.

    It is a masterclass in how to think.

    By the end, you’ll know what habits to cut out, what to start doing, and where to focus your energy so you can build a better future.

  • 8 Simple Reminders You Need to Hear Right Now
    Jul 9 2026

    Today, you’re getting exactly what you need to take back your power and make life feel a little easier.

    In this solo episode, Mel shares 8 simple reminders that will help you feel stronger, calmer, and more confident.

    These are the words to come back to when you need courage, perspective, and a reminder of how much strength you already have.

    Through 8 powerful quotes and straight-to-the-point coaching, Mel will show you how to stop taking other people’s behavior personally, pause before you react, protect your peace, take responsibility for your own happiness, and make something good happen today.

    This episode will help you:

    -Stop taking other people’s behavior personally and let their mood be theirs

    -Stop treating every text, mood, comment, or request like an emergency

    -Pause before reacting and ask yourself, “Is this worth my energy?”

    -Quit waiting until you feel better, ready, healed, or confident to start living

    -Slow down and appreciate the life you’re living right now before this season passes you by

    -Take responsibility for your own happiness, choices, attitude, and next step

    -Stop wishing you could change the past and focus on what happens next

    -Create a good day by making one small good thing happen

    These reminders are more than words.

    They are tools you can reach for the moment your brain gets loud, your stress spikes, or someone else’s drama starts pulling you off center.

    If you’ve been giving your energy away to things that don’t deserve it, this episode will help you pause, take your power back, and choose your next move with more strength, courage, and confidence.

For too long I would see Mel Robbins and think it was the wife of the other motivational speaker Robbins. He’s great but they are not connected - she’s different, very different.
‘Start here’ are the simple clear directions I need sometimes to cut through the noise.
‘Here’s what to do next’.
Thank you Mel Robbins, Thank you.

Always brilliant Mel Robbins not Mrs Robbins the wife of the other guy, Robbins.

This is a great pod-cast, so good that I am writing my first ever review! Such great advice, the one in relation to starting college is the best advice I have heard on this topic and given that its many decades since I did start college I really did not expect to get anything from that one and only listened cause my niece started last yr! Every one is a gem - thank you Mel Robbins - just love what you are doing. Liz O'K
