I gave up on myself and it’s been real hard to mentally get out there again. After listening to the intro, I automatically put my sneakers on and went out walking, listening and laughing. I feel so alive!!!! Can’t wait to do it again tomorrow. Thank you so much to the both of you. ❤❤
I love this!!
Great great great!! Keep up with it!! ❤👌🏼👍🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love this! I have been down with a cold and chest is tender. I was listening to this and thought to myself, you need to get out for a walk to the ocean! The salt air always heals doesn't it? I am 60 and so grateful to be validated that I am on the right path. Hope to be skydiving in my 80's, too chicken right now! 😅
Read your post and looked at your pic and girl you’re seriously gorgeous #goals
U go girl! 😊
Am 63 and walk with my mother everyday - she’s 92 and in great shape
This is lovely! What a blessing ❤
I love this episode, though its my first to watch you with your mother in Law JJ, i can see she's such a wonderful lady. I been doing most of her daily routine which i believe im happy doing them for happiness is the most important to aged guys like us. Though its been my desire to reach out for my friends and classmate from elementary to college, its after im done watching your interview with her i realised, that Yes, reaching out and connecting are the most important gesture we can do. ❤ and i admire you more, Mel coz i feel your respect and love for her. You both are amazing ladies. By the way i turned 68 years old last May a widow for 6 years and i want to live till 85 😅 hence im doing self care which i share to all my friends thru my vlogs. Your fan from Mandaluyong City, Philippines❤
Awww that's so nice xx
@@selwa03❤❤❤❤11❤❤*ऐ1औ 66😂औ❤औ111?ऐ
That's great! I'm 64 and my mom is 89. She doesn't walk. I'm encouraging her to walk. She doesn't have this type of attitude.
Your mother in law is officially my favorite person
"The privilege to still be alive" wow...just wow. Very powerful words.
For real ❤️. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given anywhere from 3 months to 3 years. When you or someone you love is given a timeline, all of a sudden the perspective shifts to one of - it’s such privilege to still be here. Not everyone will get that privilege.
More power to you, so inspiring, entertaining, informative, keep on❤
This is my fav podcast/video ever. So positive! ❤❤❤ you two clearly love each other. I smiled so hard my face hurts. I am so motivated. This might be my “audio book” while walking. Thank you, ladies.
This was so incredible. Judy is a beautiful, intelligent, amazing, inspiring woman. Just like you Mel! You both are so very blessed to have one another!
I thank you both ❤
Don’t forget you are both very privileged.
Awesome, I am 78! "I have the privilege to still be alive!" Thank you Judy and Mel.
I love the chemistry between them. Both charming and lively women. Women have a big tendency to give up on themselves as they focus on kids so much. But looking at them is giving me hope .
❤❤❤
Guys let's vote for Mel Robbins in community post ❤
So true.
87 yr old and going strong. What abeautiful woman and interview. Mel, you are lucky to have her and she is lucky to have you. She definetly is an inspiration. Have a wonderful summer.
I'M SO GLAD to see JJ again! PLEASE have her on monthly! It's so inspiring to see someone older than me (I'm 64) with such zest for life, great style, humor and humility. This babe has it all. I adore your relationship. Wow. I'm wanting to forward this to every friend my age who is griping about the "inevitably" of declining health and increasing loneliness. Volunteering is very underrated. You GO, Judith!
Agreed!
Ditto on all you wrote...same here at 64!!!!
I think she should start her own podcast and interview her many friends!!!!!! I'm almost 53 and she has given me many new ideas that I am going to be implementing daily!! I love her!
Agree

I am a recent widow.. my husband passed April 1st unexpectedly from a heart attack.. As I navigate through this new way of life this came up on my feed for a reason... Thank you so much for this inspiring video ❤️ 😍 💖
Sorry for your loss,❤ a great podcast to remind us to Live Laugh and Enjoy life 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
My husband is in a coma after a long illness. I'm so glad I found this too.
Sorry for your loss. The pain is hard.
Sorry for your loss ❤
I’m glad I watched this video too
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband
I am 41 and started to feel like I failed at my life. Feeling like I am now too old to do embark on a new career I am passionate about, too old to get my health back on track, too old for anything new. Watching and listening to Judith has changed my outlook completely.....I now feel revived and ambitious.....hopeful that I can still change my life. Thank you Judith for sharing your life and wonderful advice. Happy Early Birthday :) Can't wait to hear how you celebrated.
I’m 63 years old and I also walk 3+ miles everyday and work out with a personal trainer 2x weekly! I’ve lost 25 lbs in the last year and I’m about to apply to graduate school for a Masters Degree in a field I feel passionately about!!! 😊
You are NEVER too old!!!
Btw- I was married at 40…had my last child at 44! 🤣😂
Ephesians 2:10…you are alive today because God still has a Great purpose and calling for your life so start taking the first baby step forward into your new and wonderful future!!!
My life is beginning anew at 63!! I still feel fairly young! What would you like to accomplish in the next 20 years??? Before you’re my age?? I promise you, you CAN do it!!!! 🙏🏼😊❤️. Take that first step!! ❤️
You are very young, go get everything you want, you have a whole life ahead of you.
41 is young! You very likely have more ahead of you than behind. Wishing you all the best to reach for your dreams. The best is yet to come ❤
41 still super young!! Never too late to start working on your dreams. Good luck
What? You eat GINGER SNAPS?? WHAT? FOUR???? Sometimes MORE??? WHAT??? wtf🙄
I just had dinner outside with my dad hes 70 ..i decided to invite him over after listenin to this podcast this morning .... we sat outside and talked .it was beautiful thanks for the great podcast
I love your mother in law. I just lost my beautiful mom. She was 99 and 5 months old. I miss her desperately. I love your mother in laws attitude. She's so fun and light-hearted. But when she said she's cut back eating meat because of the animals, that was it.
What a wonderful soul. Thank you for sharing her. She's made me smile and brightened my day.🤗 Love & light.🙏
How lucky is Chris having a wonderful wife and a fantastic mother in his life❤
I just got done listening to the episode with your mother-in-law. I will soon be 79 years old. I thought I was the only one who thought the way that she thinks! I am incredibly grateful, so grateful for my life for my friends and for each and every day. I felt as if part of the time I was talking! She is a most delightful person, and how gracious of you to invite her to. Your podcast. That says so very much about you. I have been recommending your podcast to all of my friends and my family. Thank you so much for what you do.
I love how she laughs at herself. Her joy comes from within❤
LOVE her laugh! Judy should be a quarterly guest and drop her wisdom on us and greata energy!! Made my day!
This is a great Video. This brings back painful memories which i have been enduring. My relationship of 5 years ended 3 months ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
I am sorry about what you have been through. I have been through something similar and was almost depressed, till I contacted a spiritual counsellor who helped me get my ex back and hence my life back
Interesting. Who is this counsellor, and how do I meet the person?
Online, you'll find shelly renee white, revered for her expertise as a spiritual counsellor. She has the ability to reunite couples and promote holistic well-being.
Thanks a lot. I just did. Impressive.
Wow .. I just replied to you on another video .. I hear the pain that you are copying pasting the same message with the hopes of getting her back. But stop knocking the closed door.. you can do better because that’s what everything is for . Stop moping around and licking ur wounds. Nobody is coming . But u don’t need anything else..
She has jump started me…. YES! I’m only 71 …let’s get kickin!
Me too 😂
Anyone with a great mother inlaw are blessed. To have been so lucky.
Oh yeah ! cause mine is driving me nut 😅
My Uncle Hamish who lived till he was 95 used to say to me ‘I’m in danger of dying healthy hen’ he had a great attitude and a kind heart ❤️
Makeup artist here 🙋🏻♀️ the product she puts on her face is by It Cosmetics - CC Cream Foundation (or Better Than Foundation) and it’s wonderful 🩷🩷🩷
This woman is fabulous and I loved this episode ♥️
By IT Cosmetics, founded by Jaime Kern Lima, Mel's friend and sometimes podcast guest! They didn't see the connection, funny!!
Your mother-in-law is so inspiring to all of us who are older! I am 76 and lost my husband 9 months ago and have been struggling and feeling sorry for myself. She gave some very valuable advice for people like me🥰
Same thing happened to me. I'm 74 in June. She inspired me to make it a daily habit to walk everyday.
Thankyou so much. The interview gave me a "kick up the rear"to get more involved in my world at 75
Me, too…at 60! (How did THAT happen?) 😊
I’m only 51 and even I found so much value in this podcast! I’m transitioning to the next chapter of life and man, it’s been harder than I expected, almost depressing. Thank you for sharing, I loved listening.
Same. 52 soon. And working on Act 2 of life. Listening as I write this. Yes depressing but we gotta keep waking,... Much love to you.
Thank you 😊
51 here, going back to school. It’s tough. I have so many doubts and yes, it’s depressing! I’m glad to be going forward with new changes but it’s challenging and I’m struggling with motivation.
Me too Stacey.
I’m 51 also, had so much major changes in my life over the last 3 years. One thing that keeps me inspired are my daily walks, some days I walk so slow but I don’t care it’s the habit that is most important and getting outside.
I also listen to a podcast whilst I walk, it helps set the tone for the day 💙
“Get yourself, out of yourself”. Simple and best advice I’ve heard in so long. 🙏🏼♥️🙌🏼 Introverts can relate to how powerful that advice is!
As a 27 year old, JJ brings meaning and excitement to life. She is the walking embodiment of every self-help book’s, research study’s and clinician’s advice. If this is what aging can be, I look forward to it.
This is my favorite podcast of Mel's. So inspiring to listen to someone who has really lived life well.
This woman is my inspiration! I am 62 and she gave me hope as I continue to grow in life! Thank you!!!! ❤🎉
It’s not just about calling people…it’s also being the kind of person that other people look forward to connecting with. If JJ were calling me I’d totally be picking up the phone. She’s amazing!! ❤️
Only 43 but already preparing to become someone like her when i double my age. Or actually, the best older version of myself of course. I already lead a quite healthy life, no smoking or alcohol, drinking lots of water and green tea, no sugar, no fast or processed food, healthy Eastern European home made diet, under average work related stress so think i have great chances. I love walking and hiking, but could still do much better on the sports side.😊😅
Thank you for this wonderful podcast.. I am 61 and alone and just today I was getting depressed. I will follow all your advice.
You are both amazing women ❤ I so loved listening to this podcast. I just turned 73 and I’m a breast cancer survivor and I am so grateful 🥹 that I am able to get up to greet the day and to talk to my family and friends ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much ☺️
This was a brilliant episode Mel. At the age of 60, my life and body are changing faster than I realised and that gives a lot of food for thought. My mother is 81, she’s in London and each time I visit, I see her aging because of the lack of exercise. I went back to the UK in November 2021 to be with her because she had a skin cancer where she was going to lose her eye, they saved it. Then when I was ready to come back to the US, she broke her ankle, so I stayed another month. I got to see how important it is to keep up your strength and what happens to your body when you don’t. Your mother in law is lovely. Love watching your episodes, thank you for all the motivation😊🌸
The two of you talking and laughing together is everything😍
What a blessing! You made my day🥰
Judie is amazing. She has a good health habit and truly understanding what is a suitable mental health she would love to do. She is a qualified 86 years wonderful woman and inspiring others. Sending love to her from Thailand 🇹🇭
OMG … no wonder why you love your mother in law!! She’s beautiful, fun and a hoot to boot!! Mrs Robbins you just inspired me to get off my ass and get back to walking and yoga. Thank you!! Like Mrs Robbins I too am the one standing in front of the fridge feeding my face. I’ve always been a graze!! It drove my mom nuts. She was a 3 square lady. Thank you for being so inspirational!! And thank you Mel for having your mother in law on!! LOVED IT!!!! 😍 Mel, you are the BEST!!!! I love you!! You have said and had people on that has pulled me out of some pretty rough times! Making me not only feel that TG I’m not the only one on this planet going through this shit but to make sense of things!! ❤️🥰💕💗❣️💓💐🥰❤️ TY TY TY!!
Omg I do need to hear this. I am 47 and I feel my life is getting over and falling apart. Really appreciate this. Thank you ❣️
NO WAY!
It's never too late to start and you can feel your best with some small changes. Take care
Love this....but what if I think nobody likes me or wants to see me or talk to me with all my issues.
@@jillrose1786learn to love yourself first. It's sometimes difficult but once you can appreciate yourself then some positivity will eventually come from that.
So inspiring. I am 84 & just loved Judy. Please have her on again soon or better yet regularly.
She looks fabulous and its so good to see her taking such good care of herself and being vibrant. And OMG, the advice of reaching out and making plans- that makes so much sense. Time for me to reach out more.
This helped me a lot. I just turned 47 this month and am feeling very defeated in life. Where I am is nowhere near where I thought I'd be at this point. I'm hoping to take a massive leap of faith within the next couple of months and move to south TX from north central Arkansas to be near the ocean. Being there makes me so happy and peaceful. Moving 12+ hours from my son is a huge kicker on leaving.
I love your mother in law! I think it's the coolest one anyone could ask for.! ❤
Thank you to 2 amazing souls for this inspiring podcast and special thanks to JJ. I am 74 and walk every day, do yoga , lots of travel around the world, volunteering and working with children in Orphanages in India, reading a lot , watching inspiring documentaries, spending lots of time with family and few good friends, doing regular meditation is my favourite, having a coffee in cafe and watching people passing by, appreciating nature, and most of all feeling Gratitude to be alive every morning.
this brought me to tears. i lost my mom when i was super young and i just lost my grandma about 6 months ago. this was so beautiful and i pray everyday i can live to see my grandkids/great grandkids so i can love them and be a hot grandma like JJ
I love you too ❤
There are no accidents, I stumbled on this video today and didn't realize how much I needed to hear this. Thank you!!!
Me too!
I just listened to this podcast with your mother-in-law. I loved it. I'm not 86, but I'm over 60 now and I just made a move recently across country for no good reason. Except that now my new montray is, I'm not dead yet. I even got a personalized plate that says I'm not dead yethough. Other people don't understand you know, making the move. They questioned it but I never did and she validated me this morning. So glad you put the podcast out. There's still some things I can do to improve my life and make it happier but. I'm pretty darn, happy and happier than I've been my whole life. Just making decisions to stay in life and active and social. I must say, though I still carry a little resentment when people don't return my calls. And stuff like that. So I'm gonna try to work on that and let that go so anyway. Thanks so much to you and Judy for sharing this intimate story. I love it and i'm gonna keep listening
I wish I could speak to her and tell her she didn't waste her youth having fun. That's what it's for. Had she done it any other way we may not be hearing from the wisdom gem she is today. I just love, love ,love hearing from our 55 and better community. I just see myself in them knowing one day soon I will be that age, God willing. Seeing women like her makes me excited for that stage of life. Thank you for sharing her with us.
You are so right! I loved this episode. Older women have so much insight to share- it’s so inspiring 💫
She is so happy and fun. She is saying all the right things. Exercise , social and laughing can keep you young and allow you to eat cookies. ❤
This is one of the most interesting - and moving - podcasts I’ve ever heard. There’s nothing like listening to someone talking about life who has 87 years of life experience! I’m 63 and find myself in an empty-nester situation with grandkids who live far so I don’t get to see them very often. So the advice of reaching out to people and trying new things is invaluable because it is so true, especially as we get older. Thank you for this tremendously inspiring podcast!
Words of wisdom 💯 my grandmother who lived to be 86 told me that if she realized how long she'd live that she would have taken better care of her body... which is sad because that means that she had assumed she'd die sooner, and what's the point. 👉No matter how long you live, MAKE IT WORTH LIVING👈 is my mantra 🙌 #Basic2Badass #KuntKoalition #RiseAndGrind THANK YOU 🙏 @MelRobbins for sharing the gem that is your MIL with us 💜
This made my day! I’m 75 and I want to be her friend!
I'm widowed and 75 and everything you both talked about is on point. Great show, Mel.
Since retiring during the pandemic my husband and I retired. Its been 3 years and we've completed projects together but listening to this podcast I want to do more
Get connected, keep mobile and allow myself to keep learning. Judy is so inspiring❤
This is the most delightful and calming podcast that I’ve heard in a while.
My new fav person is your Mother in law- she is literally the best.
And she has the most wonderful laugh- it’s from the heart.
Made me smile every time she laughed
I stopped what I was doing, switched to my phone with earbuds and listened to the rest of this podcast while I walked. Judy is an inspiration! I think this was a life-changing podcast for a lot of people. Thank you so so much!❤️
I've walked every day since I wrote this. I add 1/10 of a mile each week. Because of problems with my feet(I have orthotics now, game changer!) I've need to slowly increase. I'm now at 2.2 miles every day. Thanks again, Mel!
This is the most beautiful episode I've ever seen. Thank you so much Mel for bringing us your mother in law. Simple, and full of wisdom.
Wow... you are amazing, JJ. I am 63, and my Mom is 86. My Mom can barely walk, and uses a walker. You have inspired me to start walker.
Take yourself out of yourself”. I need to remember this.
Thank you Mel. Your mom in law is a gift to all of us. I need this at the moment feeling demoralized as the workforce in SA are not keen on employing people over 50. I believe I fell into a slump of anxiety and depression as I had vested so much of my sense of self in my work. I became reclusive and embarrassed. Keep making these videos, they inspire us.
My petite 4'10" grandmother also was a "grazer" - she could pick on the same piece of chicken all day, and drink that one small pot of the most tasty coffee for hours - and she always had some cake with her coffee. She lived to be 100! She also would be outside shoveling snow or raking leaves, or walking to the next town over to catch the bus to Atlantic City.
That was incredible . I'm just turning 60 and this was life changing for me ! Thanks you both!
Best and I really mean it, best podcast ever! My Mom would have been 86 as well. Lived with my family for the last 16 years of her life. Oh, I wish I had this wisdom when she first came to us after my Dad passed. I want to strive to be the best I can be at 86 too! Best each day, greatful.
Judy reminds me so much of my mother, Barbara, who passed in 2019 in her mid 90’s.
She never stopped after my father died in his 60’s. She exercised, she traveled, she had her coffee in the morning and her scotch in the afternoon. Like Judy, she always looked much younger than her true age.
She kept friends and made dates. She enjoyed 6 children, 5 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren before she passed.
I sent this podcast to all of them because Judy and Barbara are inspiring all of us to be our best selves. Thank you, Judy ❤❤❤
My favorite episode ever! So inspiring to me as a 62 year old widow.
Wow! Wake up every day saying thank you God for another day! Gratefulness is the 🗝️. Thank you Mel👍
I loved this episode! JJ has so many parallels with my grandma, who also moved to a city alone at 19 and became a widow when she was still quite young. She also knew how to make friends and walked every day way into her 90s. She lived to 97.
I just turned 60! Thank you JJ & Mel for this episode!!!
Listening to this podcast reminded me of my Dad. He was the most social person I ever knew. He was the family communicator. Thank you for the beautiful memories you brought back for me. And thank you for the inspirational talk to help me with action. I have always told my family I will be dancing at my 100th birthday. I look forward to being healthy for the party.
OMG I love Judy!.!.. I'm gonna be 65, and she has inspired me tremendously.!!.. She's simply amazing!!
What a fabulous Lady. Now this is what I call motivation to move, to be thankful every single day, to enjoy smoothies, to connect with family/friends, to make new friends, to listen more and to have fun. We read and hear this all of the time and are aware of what we should be doing but Your Mother in Law is so full of great advice because she actually talks the talk and looks truly amazing and content with her life. Why wouldn’t we be motivated by this super lady. It’s certainly done the trick for me. 😊😊 Thank you so much to both of you.
Your mother in law is such a great human being and inspiration to many of us.❤❤
Thank you Mel for this beautiful interview with Judie! I'm 66 years old and have found such inspiration from her on how to live life to the fullest.
The Best podcast!!! She’s a role model! Mel you are such an amazing interviewer & just love the way you are! I share your podcasts to my friends, nephews & nieces. Am 74, retired RN, single and very happy. Being grateful everyday! Connecting with people and volunteering. So important to stay connected with others . God is good! Love you Mel🥰🙏♥️🦋🌈
Thank you Judie and Mel! I watched the original interview some time ago and sent it to my mom. Judie, you are such a joy to listen to and learn from. I resonated with what you said about being focused on having a good time and not on studies in school. I’m more focus on growing and learning new things now. I think that’s the silver lining, maybe you didn’t focus during school days, but you are now a lifelong learner! I hope you come back for another interview soon!
I've felt sad that my kids don't want authentic me. They want me available and saying what they want to hear. Even mothers day, birthday They don't try to see me. I don't tell them the authentic feeling. I'm trying to create my own life. Hearing you Judy I realized it's that they don't want to do anything with me. I do all by myself
Every time I listen to this show I learn so much. Thank you for making the world a better place Mel. I love you and I believe in you! 😘
Mel, what an amazing woman! Not only is she amazing, she is warm, funny, entertaining and wise. You are so lucky to have her in your life. ❤
I am 58 and have a hard time finding friends to walk now. Solo hiking is my thing now.
I'm 72. I can't find anyone to hike with me, or even walk with me. I love hearing JuJu went on bike trips. I'm looking into that cause I don't feel comfortable going myself
I am 40...And really confused and feeling lost because of family situations...but what I want is I just want to live my life like you MIL...if I live that long..lots of love to both of you and your bond... touchwood.
Loved “Take yourself, out of your self”. Due to health problems I have isolated my self. This program made me aware of this. Thanks!
Great advice and words of wisdom. I don’t want to take people or my life for granted anymore. Thank you ❤
From Srilanka, 55 Yr old after a bypass surgery. Hv been neglecting my daily walks. After listening to this podcast halfway through went for a walk and listened to the rest. Very inspiring. Encouraged me to live the rest of my life to the fullest. Thank u n God bless you.
I LOVE this episode! As I'm in my mid-fifties, one of my own crusades is letting people (especially women) know that age is a number and the "aging experience" is OUR choice. I have a number of friends who are older in age than me, and yet have the same exact philosophy and joie de vivre! Judy reminds me of one of my FAVORITE people in the whole world; she just turned 84 and travels everywhere, has purpose, and nothing gets her down. She's one of my favorite people to travel with; 5 years ago, we went to Sedona, AZ together and hiked in the canyons together. Her latest birthday party had a dragon theme, we did temporary dragon tattoos, and she had a fire dancer perform, too... I laugh to say I'd probably rather go to her birthday party than the birthday party of people much, much younger... so much fun! She's another incredible person in her 80's, and I can't even list all the things she does or has done... just since she was ini her 50's! If you want someone else as a guest like this, I can definitely provide her info!
"I've always been pushing myself into something that's a little scary.... just a little push." I agree, 100%, regardless of age!
Hi Mel,
Your mother is such an inspiration. I’m going to be 69 in October and feel much better now than in my 30’s and 40’s!
I take care of myself physically and mentally. Most people thought I am in my early 50’s. I’m a widow for 24 years now and I’m working part-time, 4 months out of the year as a tax professional. I greatly enjoy my independence, traveling, and close friendships with my new and old friends. I walk at the beach with friends every week. We had lunch and happy hours together often. I thank God every day for being healthy and happy. I try to stay away from negative and gossipy people. Thanks so much for your videos and interviews. You’re doing great ❤
Lovely woman. Se understand that you got to live every day that you're alive, and try to enjoy it. I loved this episode.
The best interview/ podcast EVER! Judy is such an inspiration to all of us, of all ages!
And she truly listens to the questions and ponders… and she seems to be enjoying that!
Sometimes we can see the spontaneous joy in her eyes when she shares simple things such as her habits. And you can also see the depth in her thoughts when she pondera about some past moments… such a genuine person.
Thank you, Mel!
I so admire all of this for sure. I stopped working suddenly when Dr. closed practice not prepared for sure, married no children however but my dogs are very comforting to me., surprised a pet was never a option mentioned. Foster a pet can also help feel connected if not as social as Mel's Mother in law. I like being around like minded people that is the challenge to find after stop working. Would love more segments to help others with no children and family not close by. Also staying healthy is a crucial aspect for sure . Pets help me be present and feel purpose for sure. So much displaced animals out there.
Oh Dear God Mel ! I was meant to tune in tonight to hear this podcast with you UNBELIEVABLE ‘Mother in Law ‘ !!! How wonderful is she ! I’m 75 and needed to hear this tonight to kick my Ass into action . I had so much in common with her and she made so much sense of relevant issues . I’m so grateful for getting her on . Can’t wait till next time ! And more of her humour and WISDOM ! You’re so lucky to have her as ‘role model’ oh yes . Margaret B 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Mel and Judy, thank you for this inspiring podcast, you tube. I feel I understand being grateful and we all continue work on being the best version of ourselves, most of the time, it’s okay to feel flat, unmotivated, I feel more motivated just listening to you both. Kind regards from an Australian lady in her sixties. So the world does listen ❤
How wonderful is this? I’m 55 and I feel stronger and have more energy than ever, but to see JJ full of energy and enjoying life like she does really does make me hopeful I can age well. Thank you!
So many valuable lessons here. I agree with the viewer here who’d like to see her on every month. I know I would. 😊❤ Love to you all.
Hermosa♥️ means lovely in English. Love your podcast. She is as smart as you are. Thanks Mel for inviting JJ, I have to find the first interview you have with her👍
Judy you are such an inspiration for living a full, happy life. I definitely needed to hear this today, not only to improve my life but to pass on your ideas to my 96 year old mom.
My mom just moved from her home of 55 years to an adult family home. Needless to say, she is having a very difficult time and does not want to leave her bedroom. I shared with her today your wonderful podcast with Mel. I told her you said the most important thing to live a happy life is to be social, reach out and connect with other people.
After a little encouragement and hearing this is message, she has decided to step out of her comfort zone and join the other 5 residents to eat her dinner. Hopefully after tonight, she will feel more at ease with new friends.
Thank you!
This wonderful lady reminded me of Dominique Sache mother's that passes away almost a year ago.
Judy's comment about reaching out for what you need reminded me of the movie, "Our Souls At Night" --- Such a great movie and so true about reaching out for what you need, regardless of what anyone thinks of you. If you need something - ask for it
Oh she’s wonderful! I am feeling Alone your Podcast is helpful. Thanks Mel Robbins.❤
Beautiful message ❣️
Thank you Judy from a "sister young at heart " 79 yrs & counting! 😅

This beautiful and vibrant lady is awe inspiring!
It makes me feel better to hear that I’m not alone in not getting responses to my posts in our family group chat and I would get bothered by it. Thanks
Beautiful, amazing words of wisdom ❤
My dad has macular degeneration and can’t see much. He is 82 and uses a walker but he was very active before. We took him fishing. I would cast after asking where he wanted it, then hand it off to him. I showed him where the bobber is and he would feel the line. He had a great day. That night he was calling his friends to tell them he caught a fish. It’s all about investing your time to make things happen.
So cool I’m 4’11”. I had to learn to have a voice to be heard. Her active life is inspirational!
