What if the key to peace of mind was simply letting people be who they are?

In this episode, I share my take on The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins – a book that’s been blowing up on TikTok and Instagram. I’m not usually much of a reader, but I picked it up on holiday, finished it in a single weekend, and found it genuinely life-changing.

The core idea is simple: stop trying to control what others do, and instead focus on how you choose to respond. The book dives into everything from overthinking and people-pleasing to managing frustration and letting go of what’s out of your control.
I share real-life examples – like plane journeys, gym nerves, friendship FOMO, and workplace stress and show how the “let them” mindset can turn anxious spirals into real strength.

What You’ll Learn

– Mindset Shift: Why you can’t control others but you can control your thoughts and responses.
– Overcoming Overthinking: How to apply “let them” in everyday scenarios, from flaked plans to workplace stress.
– Practical Applications: Ways to use the principle in relationships, business, parenting, and even sales.

This episode is a reminder that letting others be themselves doesn’t make you passive – it makes you powerful, freeing up energy to focus on what really matters.
