    To everyone reading this Keep going. No matter how stuck you feel, no matter how bad things are right now, no matter how hopeless & depressed you feel, no matter how many days you have spent wishing things were different. I promise you won't feel this way forever. Keep going.
  • "One of the greatest gift's of being adult is separating is separating from your parents and deciding how you wanna talk to yourself" This hits home.

    As a psychologist myself, I can say that every single point of wisdom Mel robbins makes is SO accurate. In my counselling sessions with clients, i teach them almost the same principles. Keep spreading the wisdom Mel and Jay, you guys are truly doing God's work!!!
  • A therapist of mine said the same thing about "fake it until you make it." She said reframe that to be "believe it until you become it."
  • @jalanstudios
    "Your dreams actually can't leave you, they're meant for you." Powerful words Mel. Thank you both for this inspiring podcast!
  • I love Mel’s honesty and ability to share her own imperfections to help others learn about themselves.

    God must be the center of our lives. The more we make him our focus, the more things will come together for us.
  • Mel Robbins is one of my greatest inspirations! I started to help people because of her. Thank you for this amazing interview Jay!

    Psilocybin mushrooms healed me . I can't explain it but my experience has been spiritual and eye opening . I also started micro dosing . It really helped me get rid of depression and anxiety .
  • To anyone reading this, I hope that whatever is bothering you or that you are constantly worried about gets better. May all negative thoughts, overthinking, and doubt leave your mind right now. May clarity triumph over obscurity. May your life be filled with peace and calm.
  • I love this “you ever get that feeling in church that you feel like the pastor is talking directly to you” that how I feel rn like this lady knows me and is speaking directly to me.
  • I'm a strong believer, that we see things when we are ready. I watch your podcasts all the time, but I can across this one today even though it was posted 7 months ago and God only knows how much I needed this. Its almost as if, Mel and you spoke about everything I've been asking the universe for a few weeks now. I quit my job 4,5 years ago, followed my purpose, but sometimes because we don't see the results in the physical world, we feel like its not there. You both gave me hope, and I feel fueled by faith again. I also believe that everything happens FOR you, not TO you. This happened for me, and I claim it.❤
  • I have recently learned that the key to be happy is to find the balance.

    Wow! I just needed this morning. I am in the worst time of my life right now and listening to Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty talking on how to get out on the stand, making me realize I need to do that. Getting out of misery campaign is such a great terminology. I am only half thru this podcast video and I needed to just say Thank you to both of you to share this.
  • Mel has a really great skill in taking intangible concepts, often brought up in mental health, and making them more understandable and attainable. I've always struggled to understand what exactly confidence was supposed to be. It always sounded like having belief in oneself despite not knowing whether you had an ability to do something or whether the outcome would be successful. Defining confidence as a 'willingness to try and the belief in what you are doing' makes so much more sense. There's no innate skill requirement or need to be anything but who you already are. Confidence is a mindset that's available to everyone. Definitely going to subscribe to Mel's podcast and looking forward to more gems of wisdom like this!

    This has been one of the most insightful videos I have EVER come across. I have just started reading think like a monk to start my journey to find myself and inspiration too. It’s been a difficult month but this makes me feel I’m not alone. To anyone reading this.. let’s think of our next step and work towards that. ❤
  • @Fatima_316
    I literally LOVE listening to Mel Robbins, she's keeps it so real and there's no pretence or sugar coating in her words, and that's something that's SO important to create REAL progress in life. Thank you for having her on again, this was a truly informative talk
  • This is the best wake up call, I've been living in the campaign of misery. This interview challenged me. Thank you

    " avoiding the thing that is inside you, doesn't make the dream go away it just creates more pain." wow ! a word !
