It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you’re doing great work but not getting recognized, listen to this. Carla Harris is one of the most respected leaders on Wall Street, with 35 years in the rooms where promotions, compensation, and opportunities are decided. Carla explains that you’re often not in the room where the big decisions about your career are happening. That’s why working hard isn’t always enough. You need someone willing to speak up and advocate for you in the rooms that you aren’t in. And if you don’t know who that person is, that’s the missing piece you need if you want to succeed. Stop just focusing on performance. Start building the relationships that actually move your career forward. On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Carla Harris breaks down how to stop playing small, stop waiting to be noticed, and position yourself to win, even in the rooms you’re not in.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — There’s a kind of grief you’ve been carrying - that many women have been struggling with - that didn’t have a name until now. Kelly McDaniel is a renowned psychotherapist and bestselling author whose work helped millions understand something she calls Mother Hunger - a deep, unmet need for nurturance, safety, and guidance early in life. Kelly shares how she discovered Mother Hunger while working with women in recovery from love addiction. She noticed a pattern during withdrawal — when you’re trying to detach from a relationship you feel like you can’t live without — and the same words surfaced again and again: “I want my mom.” Not necessarily that specific mother, but the need to be mothered. The need for comfort, safety, and soothing when your nervous system feels like it’s in survival mode. Kelly McDaniel explains that this isn’t about blaming your mother. It’s about telling the truth: Whatever you had to become as a child to feel loved often becomes who you are. People‑pleasing, overgiving, hyper‑awareness of others’ emotions — these patterns can come from a need to secure connection when you were young. On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Kelly breaks down what Mother Hunger is, how it shapes your identity, and how to start healing by giving yourself what you didn’t receive.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — Are you sure you’re giving this part of your life a real chance? Because it’s hard to feel happy when you’re only halfway in. When part of you is still comparing, still holding onto something else, still looking for a way out, it changes the way you show up in your life. You start judging, pulling back, keeping one foot somewhere else instead of being fully here. And the truth is, it’s unfair to blame a situation for how you feel if you haven’t actually given it your full energy. On this deeply personal episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast I sit down with my 21-year-old son Oakley. Together, we talk about how to know if it’s you or the situation, what it actually means to be all in, and how to stop holding back so you can start building something that feels right.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — You cannot build a better life while staring at your old life. Here’s something to consider if you’ve been feeling stuck or unhappy lately. The more you compare your life now to what it used to be, the harder it is to enjoy what’s here. A past relationship, a past version of your life, a time that felt easier or better. But that comparison turns into judgment about what’s worse, what doesn’t measure up. And when you keep doing that, you miss what’s actually good in front of you. You end up holding onto the past while trying to build something new at the same time and that’s what keeps you stuck. On this deeply personal episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast I sit down with my 21-year-old son Oakley. We talk about comparing your current chapter to the past, how to figure out what’s actually keeping you unhappy, and how to redirect your energy so you can start creating a version of your life that feels better.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — The two things holding you back in your career aren’t what you think. Carla Harris is one of the most respected leaders on Wall Street, with 35 years of experience in the rooms where decisions like who gets promoted, who gets picked, and why. Carla explains that for most women, it comes down to two things: Fear and fatigue. Early on in your career, it’s fear. Not feeling ready. Not trusting your voice. Holding back your full power. Later, it’s fatigue. You’ve worked for years. You’ve fought your way up. And you’re tired. But here’s what most people don’t realize: What it takes to get to the next level is just a fraction of what you’ve already done. You don’t need to start over. You don’t need to prove everything again. You just need to take the next step. If you’re being overlooked for a promotion or raise, you’re changing jobs or looking for a job, or you’ve been feeling uneasy or uncertain at work, this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast is for you. Carla breaks down what’s really holding you back, and how to stop playing small so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — When you dream about someone you’ve lost, it’s not random… Dr. Rahul Jandial is a world-renowned neuroscientist and neurosurgeon who teaches you how your brain uses dreams to process grief. If you wake up from those dreams and wonder what it meant, or why it felt so real. It’s because tour brain isn’t just replaying memories, it’s working through the loss you’ve experienced. When you’re awake, you might push the feeling down, stay busy, avoid going there. But when you’re asleep, that part of your mind opens up. The emotion, the attachment, the relationship, it all comes forward in a way your waking mind doesn’t allow. On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Rahul Jandial, you’ll learn what your dreams are really telling you, how to understand the emotional patterns behind them, and how to use them to better understand yourself.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you want to remember your dreams, don’t do this when you wake up. Dr. Rahul Jandial is a world-renowned neuroscientist and neurosurgeon who teaches you how to train your brain to remember and even control your dreams. You wake up, grab your phone, move around, and your dream disappears almost instantly. That first moment matters more than you think. When you wake up, stay still, don’t reach for anything, give your brain a few minutes to hold onto the images and emotions while they’re still there. When you protect that moment, you don’t just remember more. You start to access ideas, insights, and perspectives you wouldn’t have otherwise. On this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Rahul Jandial, you’ll learn how to remember your dreams, how to influence what you dream about, and how to use that early morning window to think differently and solve problems.

Do you ever wake up from a dream and wonder: What did that mean? Or maybe you’ve had a nightmare and asked yourself: Why did I dream that? Could I stop it? Is my brain trying to tell me something? Maybe you keep having the same dream over and over again. Or maybe you’re the person who says, “I don’t dream.” According to today’s expert, you’re wrong. We all dream. And once you understand what your brain is doing while you’re dreaming, you’ll never think about sleep, your mind, or what’s possible in the same way again.

You’ll also learn how to tap into the power of your dreams to create deeper connections, solve problems, unlock more creativity, and better understand yourself. In this episode, Dr. Jandial will show you that dreaming is not random. It is not meaningless. And it is not something to ignore. In this episode, you’ll learn: - What your dreams are really trying to tell you - How to know which dreams are worth paying attention to - What recurring dreams and nightmares may reveal about your emotional life - Why nightmares can be an early warning sign that something deeper needs your attention - How dreams can help you solve problems, process stress, and unlock creativity - The simple way to train yourself to remember your dreams - How to use the first 10 minutes after waking up to access fresh ideas and insight - What lucid dreaming is and the exact steps to try it This conversation will change how you think about your life - both the one you’re living while you’re awake and the one you’re living while you’re dreaming.
