It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to get motivated, even when you don’t feel like it. If you feel unmotivated, scatter brained, or exhausted… If you keep reaching for your phone, wine, or the remote even when you want to stop… If you’re frustrated with yourself for lacking discipline…. This conversation will help you stop wasting time and finally understand why it’s so hard to do the things you know you should do. Joining Mel today is Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, who is the world’s leading expert on dopamine and compulsive behavior. Dr. Lembke is a professor of psychiatry and addiction medicine at Stanford University, chief of Stanford’s Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. But even with all of her knowledge, she will share with you: she also falls into the same traps you do! In this episode, Dr. Lembke explains the truth most people don’t understand: Modern life has trained your brain to chase constant dopamine hits, and that’s why motivation, focus, and joy feel harder than ever. But here’s the good news: you can reset your brain. Dr. Lembke walks you through the science of dopamine, pain, pleasure, and motivation, and shares a practical protocol for rebuilding focus, energy, and self-control in a world designed to hijack your attention. In this episode, you’ll learn: -The “pleasure–pain seesaw” that explains why you keep reaching for the thing you swear you’re done with -How dopamine really works (and why chasing pleasure backfires) -The hidden reason scrolling, snacking, and multitasking make you feel worse, not better -The simple but powerful way to rebalance pleasure and pain -What to do when you feel stuck in compulsive habits you “can’t quit” This is not a conversation about shame, addiction labels, or self-control. It’s about taking your brain back. If you want more energy, clarity, and motivation, and if you’re ready to stop fighting yourself and start working with your brain, this episode is for you.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you’re over 40 and your current workout routine leaves you feeling exhausted, yet wired, and not sleeping well, Dr. Stacy Sims, world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, says this might be why you’re not seeing results. According to @DrStacySims, the worst thing many women do in perimenopause and menopause: moderate-intensity workouts. She explains that your body actually needs shorter, high-intensity, focused efforts followed by full rest, to allow your hormones, your muscles, and nervous system to adapt and rebuild. In this conversation on The Mel Robbins Podcast, I brought back one of your favorite guests, Dr. Sims, for a brand new episode, to give you the exact plan on how to train your body to adapt to the changes - and you can start this week.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you’re feeling confused, discouraged, or unsure about what you’re “supposed” to do with money, especially if you’re in your twenties or thirties, you’re not alone. In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I sat down with David Bach, one of the most trusted personal finance experts in the world and a 10-time New York Times bestselling author. David talks about a message a lot of people hear early on: “You’re young, so you should take big risks.” And why, for many people, that advice creates more stress, setbacks, and self-doubt than confidence. If you don’t know where to start… If the thought of investing feels overwhelming… Or if you’ve watched money go up and down and thought, maybe this just isn’t meant for me… David explains another way to think about investing that doesn’t require taking big risks or having everything figured out. This episode isn’t about doing more or being perfect. It’s about understanding your options, lowering the stress around money, and learning approaches that are designed to work over time - especially when life already feels full.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you find yourself blowing up over small things in your relationship and you can’t figure out why, you need to hear this. This insight comes from Terry Real, one of the most respected and sought-after couples therapists in the world. Terry breaks down what actually happens when emotions take over in a relationship. Something small happens - like walking into a messy kitchen - and suddenly it doesn’t feel small at all. You feel unappreciated. Unseen. Like you don’t matter. According to Terry, the solution isn’t getting your partner to finally “get it” or pushing harder to be understood. The real change happens when you pause, calm yourself, and come back to the conversation steadily - instead of reacting on impulse. This episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast with Terry Real will completely change how you understand conflict, emotional triggers, and intimacy - and what truly creates connection. If you’re tired of repeating the same arguments, feeling unseen, or wondering whether things can actually change, this conversation shows you how to break the cycle and build a healthier, more connected relationship.

On the days you’re busy, overwhelmed, or exhausted, shrink the habit to 15 minutes. 15 minutes to move your body. 15 minutes to start the thing. 15 minutes to show up. Consistency isn’t about doing more.

In this eye-opening episode, Mel brought back her most popular guest of all time: Dr. Stacy Sims, PhD, to give you the exact plan on how to train your body to adapt to the changes, instead of just “dealing with it.” Dr. Sims is a professor at Stanford and Auckland University of Technology, a world-renowned exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, and a leading researcher on female-specific health and nutrition. She breaks down why menopause is not the end of you. It’s just a transition, and with the right tools, your body can thrive for the next 40 years. Today’s episode has solutions, including new information that goes beyond what has ever been shared on this podcast before. In this episode, you’ll learn: -Why belly fat shows up in menopause (and why it’s not the same kind of fat as before) -The specific diet and nutrition that help with mood and sleep -What happens to your brain, mood, sleep, and body fat when estrogen drops -Why menopause is basically reverse puberty -The #1 thing that changes everything in midlife: heavy strength training (and how to start in 10 minutes) -The new cardio that works with menopause (short sprint intervals) and why “moderate hard” workouts always backfire Bookmark this episode and share it with every single woman in your life.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you keep fighting with your partner - and it feels like the same argument over and over - you need to hear this. Most relationship fights aren’t really about what just happened. They’re about what didn’t happen years ago, according to renowned therapist Terry Real. One of the most respected couples therapists in the world, Terry explains why arguments spiral so fast - and why trying harder, pushing more, or demanding reassurance almost always makes things worse. When you feel hurt, scared, or ignored, your instinct is to fight for what you need… or shut down completely. And that reaction keeps the same cycle going.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — One of the biggest lies you’ve been telling yourself is that being harder on yourself will make you better. It won’t. According to Terry Real - one of the most sought-after couples therapists in the world - harshness has zero value in your relationship with yourself or anyone else. Not toward your partner. Not toward the people you love. And especially not toward yourself. In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Terry shares the kind of relationship advice nobody teaches you - the kind that quietly transforms how you show up in love, conflict, and intimacy. Whether you’re in a relationship, healing from one, or hoping to build a healthy one, you need to listen to this episode.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — If you’ve been exhausted, overwhelmed, and beating yourself up for not “doing more”… please listen to this. One of the most important reminders you need to hear right now? You’re not lazy. The problem is that little voice in your head is critical. It tells you you’re behind, not enough, disappointing people, falling short. And it’s lying to you. If your energy is 40% today- and you give all 40% - you gave everything you had. This reminder is from this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast - where I give you the reminders you need. This episode is not about fixing what is wrong with you. You are not broken. It’s about remembering who you are and how capable you’ve always been. You’ll walk away feeling more grounded, more in control, and more like yourself.

It all begins with two simple words. Let Them. — I’ve seen your comments and DMs - and you’re saying the same things… You know you want change - you just can’t get clear on what you actually want. According to James Clear, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits, many people think they lack motivation, when what they really lack is clarity. You see, when everything feels important, your energy gets scattered. When you’re chasing seven goals at once, nothing sticks. So instead of trying the same thing over and over again, James Clear says to experiment. Try different approaches. Find what fits your life. Stick with what feels sustainable. In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I’m joined by James Clear as he breaks down the proven frameworks behind lasting change, the best business advice he has received, and explains how tiny, consistent improvements compound into extraordinary results over time. If you want this year to actually lead to real progress, this episode will completely change how you approach goals, habits, and growth.
