What struck me the most is how comfortable Mel is with failure. THIS is life-changing to me: that someone that successful could have screwed up so many times, and still come out on top. Amazing. Thank you a million times.
She comfortable with it as she has now moved past it. When she was going through it, she never could have talked about it like this. One take off for me is that shit will happen, mistakes will be made and you have to accept that and learn from the hard times and mistakes and really persevere. The high five yourself is a new and interesting concept to me. To supplement what she says about why it works is the idea that success breeds success. So start with small success and celebrate them, applaud yourself. String together several small successes as part of a larger success and your subconscious will respond by changing it's patterns and steering you toward more success. One big benefit of meditation and visualization, is in order to get to the point of effective visualization is, you have to clear your mind of all the crap that typically runs through it. You start with the relaxation breathing and focus on the breathing as you let all those various thoughts slip away. It may take several tries, spending 20-30 minutes of relaxation breathing to be able to clear your mind, but it will get easier and you will get to that point quicker, the more you practice it. I first did the relaxation techniques in high school for athletic competition. The counting down that she discusses here I also used while racing as a way to get me ready to "make a gear change". My point being that when you learn and employ some of these simple techniques for a specific purpose, doing small modifications using the same techniques, you will be able to adapt the benefits to other venues. eg. I learned it (being my routine) to help me in racing, Mel was using similar techniques to help with career and it can be adapted to help with relationships. Deepak Chopra also gives a lot of same information contained here, but it gets delivered a little different. I really like the way Mel explains it. Several books also explain how meditation and positive self talk work. Think and Grow Rich was the book I read in high school that introduced me to the idea and techniques of retraining the brain to help you rather than give you doubts and fears that hold you back. Anyway, hope my missive helps..
I call that a step in the right direction. Applaud yourself for that first step and that will lead to the next. If a problem or task seems too big to accomplish, just break it all down into a series of steps. Take one step at a time. Each step taken makes the next step easier. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and get overwhelmed but by listening to this and knowing that there are some simple things you can do and as silly as it seems, actually work and work very well, you have really taken a big step towards being able succeed in anything you do. Now you know. Next time you get overwhelmed, stop, relax and go back to just taking one step at a time. Remember to clear the doubt out of your mind and just focus on each step as it comes. I would love to hear about something that you have done in the past 8 months in which you employed Mel's techniques and how well it worked for you. If you had a few stumbles, no worries, each time you use what you learned you will get better at it, so don't let a few bumps derail you. Just keep going.
initially, i wasn't drawn to this conversation. i started listening and thought that i wouldn't be able to relate to this woman. after watching the entire thing, i appreciate her honesty and admire her love for the simple things we can do to advocate for ourselves, to grow to love ourselves, and to work with the power of our minds. thank you!
Nice video and Thank you also for recommending your broker jessica Robert, her services are exceptional and I've been earning greatly from investing with her
I really needed to hear this today. I'm someone for whom the i-beams didn't always line up and I fell. It's a real challenge to remain focused on moving forward in the face of sustained, long-term panic and stress. I'm starting over as well in an effort to get myself out of poverty.
You look like you have time on your side, I believe in you! If you are listening to Rich Roll Podcast you are taking action to better your circumstances! I myself missed a few I beams, sometimes you have to let help come in. Sometimes you end up at the food Bank, sometimes you see a ladder you can step up into! 💪😉🔥

@@hollyhinman9818 Thanks Holly! The pic is about 10 years old now. I just graduated after going back to school to better my situation (in my 50s) and make a career change. It's tough out there looking for work and the times are strange. It's also very tiring. I have to put my energy out and have faith The Universe will do its part. Thanks for your encouraging words!
Thanks Rich for another great podcast. I "lost everything" after the housing crisis. I've experienced exactly what Mel described. I quit my job this summer and started digging through a lifetime of emotional garbage. This is perfect timing to add to my arsenal moving forward in a more fulfilled life.
I can't tell you how perfectly timed this interview was. Thank ya'll so, so much. I am in the middle of a massive career change (vegan baker/chef for a decade to software developer) and have been having waves of fear and self-doubt. Already high-fiving myself and, honestly, feeling better and more motivated! I can't wait to see where this kooky journey will lead. So much appreciation from Nashville, TN
Okay this is the third interview I've watched with Mel, about her newest book. I can't stop watching!! Every interview blows my mind, every interview she tell different stories. I'm blown away but this lady and I can't wait to shake her hand one day! Also, I didn't realize how bad her anxiety was, the story about the AG and the speech.... that's me, or should I say that WAS me. I was afraid to talk on the phone or even deal with customer's at my previous place of employment. Now I'm doing network marketing literally something I never saw my self doing, and now I can't imagine doing anything else. I've broke out of my anxious, sad, limiting shell and I'm thriving, and I owe it all to self development and God. Now this high five habit is going to shoot me and my career into outer space!!!
I loved this interview and the fascinating back story about Mel Robbins’ career rise. I found the story of grit and resilience in her marriage to be really inspiring. Rich has such a gift for creating an environment for deep truth-telling. I’m amazed at how easy he makes it look, but to create a cone of safety for the guest and and to be that free and casual with all the studio tech going on is a clinic in documentary interviewing : ).
Mel is the bomb! Great ep. I started listening to her in 2018 and love her book The 5 Second Rule. It honestly helped me perform without the pre performance, performance anxiety that has plagued me for my entire life. She’s so funny, down to earth and completely honest. Well done 👏🏼 Please have her back ASAP Rich!
I really needed this podcast badly..thank you so much. I did the 5 second countdown about 15 times during the end of my first 50k. It was the only way I got through it because my body was hurting so much I couldn't respond. But counting down helped me start running again when I thought I couldn't. Thanks for this podcast rich!.
Mel Robbins doesn't know this but she's about to change my life. I relate to so much of her story, being riddled with anxiety, homesick as a kid to the point an emergency Dr was called in, diagnosed with GAD in my 40s, living in a constant state of anxiety, I used alcohol to mask my feelings. I could go on. Instead I'm going to embrace everything she says and do everything she does so that I can be the person I believe I'm meant to be. Thank you for your awesome and life changing podcast.
From one Michigander to another Mel's voice personally speaks to me - her uniquely honest view is so raw, direct and moving. I suspect portions of this video will go viral.
I disagree with (only) one thing that Mel Robbins says in min 53. I don't thing we need to be "ready" (will we ever be?). I believe we need to be WILLING. Willingness is the internal force that moves us into action.
Here I am watching this video on TH-cam through my TV set while having breakfast and explaining to my mother, who of course does not understand a word in English, and in addition has Alzheimer's, how this extraordinary woman achieved to overcome her huge anxiety problem. Mesmerizing to say the least. Thanks a lot, Mel and Rich.
As I listened to this interview I found myself wondering “If Mel was a Black woman would her story be the same? Would all of those failures eventually lead to this level of success?” BTW Great interview.
How beautiful! I had given up (for the rest of my life) 3 years ago, when I moved to live next to my mother for her health, on ever finding a little house with a garden in my favorite quiet neighborhood, and a few months ago, it just materialized. I love the story of the painting.
Rich dead set mate this is honestly one of the most impactful real impactful stories I have had the pleasure of hearing. The painting story did it for me. Thank you so very much x
Whoa. Kairos, my friends! I've been listening to the both of you recently, and find resonance in both of your stories. This, today, was medicine. I know, because I felt it. I'm 60, starting again from nothing...almost sold my Cervelo but not yet. Getting a new hip which initially I found insulting, but now I see it as "setting me up for something amazing." This episode was powerful, moving, and so meaningful for me, you know, like it was meant to happen(Kairos). Without going on, and on, I'm so grateful for this and look forward to my life opening up to financial stability and perhaps a relationship. Both of you have impacted me in bonkers positive ways. Onward! ...high five!
Awe. For so long I was so hesitant for a very long time to listen to her because I thought she was Tony Robinson wife. I'm glad I listen. Rich Roll you didn't let me down. Another amazing guest that speaks so loudly to my life... Thank you.
Always ready to bring diversity into my knowledge. Simple and science approved. 🙌🙌My morning routine needed a little " je ne sais quoi !" Will definitely practice this! ✋
Another reason to avoid consuming animal flesh and lactation. Life isn't about "pleasure" It isn't always about "us" Future pandemics (school) etc. until we learn to do what's right. Meanwhile, the "dog meat" trade lives on... :(
Mel Robbins . . I need this so much. I am scared to make a change but this is empowering and I will take a deeper dive. “This moment is preparing you for something amazing that hasn’t happened yet. Keep going.” I really need to believe in this . I will be telling myself this.
Wow! Just wow! I connect with both of you so deeply! I think we’ve traveled similar roads of childhood trauma, codependency, and conditional love. Oh, and if I had satisfying conversations like this everyday, I could rule the world! 😂
Thank you Rich for pointing out the problems with the self help industry. Some of it has absolutely “made me” to a shrinking flower. And thank you Mel for sharing your shitty moment in front of the mirror. I love your honesty
Thank you Rich, for reaching out to Mel to get this piece of content. I can't wait to one day make content and talk to people and learn what you get to learn through conversations.
Absolutely eye opening! I resonated with Mel from Anxiety to just always running away from life and myself to finally, at 52, getting to really know and accept who I am. I have fallen in Love with this pod cast and everyone's story. We are all in this crazy life together. So blessed to have found this outlet. Learning so much all the time. Looking forward to future guests and ordering Mel's book as soon as I finished typing. Take Care. Peace Out. :-)
Wonderful message that’s very important for many to hear at this time. Thank you for sharing your piece of the puzzle for humanity to move forward. ❤️🌷
This amazing conversation couldn't have been more perfect for my ears to hear today. Once again, thanks so much for a truly inspirational talk. Vermont forever!!!!
Thank you both, Mel and Rich. Huge respect to both for going through your own challenges and helping others... showing what is possible, and showing that it is not all smooth sailing... it it so hard to support myself after I default to old patterns... I just get harder on myself... This helps to move away from that... and accept it happening also... It is so amazing what you both are creating together in this show... showing authentic selves, being open, genuine and true in the talk... showing the messy part of yourselves inspires me to look into myself and my own situation differently and to believe in how "I beams" move in life... and learn to trust that good and beautiful things are coming as soon as I am ready for that...♥🙏
This interview hit me hard. OMG. I have such an association with your experiences. I am a F*** up too! Even with the education and experiences I have....such a loser. I am glad to see this interview. I cried. Touched me BIG time.
I really needed this message, thank you Rich and Mel. You are helping us so much, making our lives better in ways you can't imagine. Peace blessings and many thanks.
Thank you both for having this conversation and reminding me to give myself I high-five as I can totally relate with Mel. I felt so heard, seen, and validated. In a world where they all conditioned us to feel less than be accepted lieu of our achievements is so messed up that I'm happy to hear that we're all going through it together and help each other to reclaim our inherent power again. We are worthy for BEING ALIVE, damn it! I'm crying tears of joy feeling so supported by strangers online. We got this, y'all. We are love. We are.
This video really did change my life. I had hit a low point two years ago after a breakup. When I think back to the moment my life started going in an uphill trajectory, I think of this video. Writing that just gave me shivers. Thank you, thank you, thank you both!! Xoxoxo, Rebel Fitz
I’ve listened to so many of your podcasts - all great, but this one hit home right in my heart. I’m mid-40s & needing to put my needs first and find myself. But no idea how. Now with these tools - thanks Mel and Rich, I’m feeling like it’s all do-able. 👋🏼 to you both!
43:16 I swear people admitting their failures and when they hit rock bottom is refreshing. Weird way to put it but this year I made a major change and have faced really scary times financially. It was my favorite part of the podcast. We can’t highlight reel our reality to others all the time. Thanks for this Mel! We need more honesty like this. ✋🏼🤚🏼
Thanks, I needed this today. It's been a rough year and after finally getting a job I got hurt and can't work again. I've had very negative thoughts and I will try these techniques to move forward.
Very inspiring. Sometimes you feel like you are the only one struggling and kicking yourself for past mistakes. Then you realize you are not the only one and that you can persevere. We all have so many blessings and we forget that sometimes.
Regarding Mel's Painting Story, I have a somewhat similar story. When I was little, living in a suburb about 25 min from the local city's downtown area, my family would drive down one of the main highways and, off in the distance, I would see a tall building; the tallest building downtown at the time, at least from my perspective/direction. I was 7ish years old and always fascinated with that building. I recall thinking to myself that I'm going to be there someday; no specific reason in mind as to why, how, or what for. For years afterwards when I would go to bed and, before falling asleep, I would imagine that I lived there, worked there, everything was there. And it was connected to all other tall buildings downtown via cross-bridges. Growing into adulthood, the fantasy and thought escaped me, though I maintained an appreciation for the building when I would go, and eventually lived, downtown. I never knew what the building was actually for, or what the inhabiting residents were, or did. I slowly inched towards a degree in environmental science, catering to my love and respect for Earth and its inhabitants, achieving that oh-so-important piece of paper at age 27. I applied and received interview offers for 3-4 environmental scientist positions at various agencies and to my surprise, on position was based at that big tall building I remembered from childhood and always liked. Lo and behold, that was the interview that offered me a position and is where I currently work today, applying what I studied in my work as a freshwater scientist mitigating pollution discharge into California's freshwater systems. It always baffles me that my passion (well, one of many) that I studied landed me in the building I dreamt about as a child. So serendipitous. PS. Thank you, Rich, for facilitating the sharing of this incredible message. Love your podcast. Always listening, Joe
interesting study. Thank you. Anxiety, medication, ADHD, Drug addiction Zoloft, and bad behavior. I do not recall one time during that conversation the term mental illness was used? I find the absence fascinating.. Entrepreneurship........Stunning!
My heart breaks for this woman’s children. If it wasn’t hard enough to have a mom who whines about how hard it is not to yell at you or abuse alcohol, or who brags about spending money that should go to a crib for you on an object to boost her ego, you then have to deal with her legions of enablers that are so happy to buy her message of easy solutions for complicated problems. Notice how she tells her daughter, that she is the only one who can fix her problems, conveniently washing her hands of the problems she creates for her children. She even shows awareness that negative self talk come from caretakers who fall short, but who is such a caretaker, Mel?
S C - your heart is 'breaking' for yourself, IMO. Only you can figure out why... Clearly you have just projected some aspect of yourself onto Mel. Too bad...but I'm sure Mel - knowing what she knows about human psychology - realizes the projection, as well.
I would love to have Mel as a mom, she has this giant loving heart, smart, brave, real and just has her own way, her children are lucky with or without a crib
I believe we all have a story to tell. I can relate to some of Mel's story about failure and springing back from it. After a certain age we all can be teachers to help people along the way.
This high five principal is interesting yet for me I came to not like high five as at my last job, my boss would want to give me a high five for the good job I was doing, yet I was way under paid. The high did not pay the rent. He appeared to think this was my reward for a department where I raised the sales weekly from 24-49%. It did not work for me and I found it demeaning. I asked him to stop. Now supporting myself by high five myself is different. I left that job because they would not giving me a living wage and I man less than 14 an hour
Well... learning from that lousy job experience prepared you for something better, right? So glad you stood up for yourself. Hope you let then know WHY you were leaving...including exactly what you thought about all those phony high fives. Good for you!
Wow this is a very overwhelming pod cast Mel your are giving me things to look forward too. It got me emotional on the stories you had and thinking of it the simplest things in life we tent to forget. I saw that cartoon that was sleeping and go on and on funny. It looks like there is always purpose for everything and that's is one of my philosophy in my life any good and bad happens there is a learning in your life. Thank you and I will do the 54321 and the high five again thank you.
Ordered 2 books and the journal today. I have needed something really positive and uplifting in my life for the past 4 years. I think, along with the "High Five", getting rid of the dead weight negative pseudo boyfriend of 4 years will lead me in the right direction. Thanks, Mel and Rich.
Wow! Talk about reframing the way I look at myself and my entire world! Thank you for this conversation. I’m going to start right away and allow the ❤️s to flow.
I started judging my physical appereance since I was a teenager so much that I discovered the wonderful technique of deciding not to watch myself in the mirror. I had realized that everytime I saw myself it would make me feel so bad that I decided not to do it anymore, so everyday I just looked at it the necessary time to comb my hair and then never again....this has stuck until now, and I am 27, trying this high 5 in the mirror is going to be something
What struck me the most is how comfortable Mel is with failure. THIS is life-changing to me: that someone that successful could have screwed up so many times, and still come out on top. Amazing. Thank you a million times.
I agree.
Me too agree to the fullest. 🙏
I agree❤️
She comfortable with it as she has now moved past it. When she was going through it, she never could have talked about it like this.

Just love her simple and doable suggestions. Have implemented some and changed my procastinating habits.
Mel is fantastic - I’ve followed her for years
This is the best single podcast episode, of any podcast, that I’ve listened to this year. Many thanks to both Rich and Mel.
Mel and Rich, it was two hours of pure gold. I know it's going to make a huge difference in how I take action and how I love myself. Thank you
Nice video and Thank you also for recommending your broker jessica Robert, her services are exceptional and I've been earning greatly from investing with her
Jessica Robert really is doing a lot of people a genuine favor with her daily signal! I've earned alot also
Wow i'm glad i did. I withdrew my first profit two days ago now I have another ongoing trade with her
The fruitfulness of your trading lies on the account manager or the expert
saw recommendation but I did not bother chating her up
I have been seeing so many recommendations about Jessica Robert on different platforms trending I think she must be good for people to talk about her
In Social Work the mantra is " meet the person where they're at..." What Mel seems to be saying is.."Meet yourself where you're at.. " Thanks Mel
No thanks hah I'd rather push for excellence / exceed my grasp. Comfort zones are where dreams die.
Totally missed the point. Zoom over the head.

"You'll know when you hit rock bottom because you finally hit something solid within yourself." 45:13
From one neurotic to another, I love you Mel!
I just need to keep taking notes of all this inspirational content here. Amazing podcast Rich.
I have heard only two of your podcasts and both have changed my life . This one and Andrew huberman’s . Thank you for doing this😀😀
Authentic woman in her integrity no matter the circumstances, that alone is inspiring…
Thank you Mel x and Rich for interview :)
From one Michigander to another Mel's voice personally speaks to me - her uniquely honest view is so raw, direct and moving. I suspect portions of this video will go viral.
I just wanted to say thank you for this podcast. I cried...I ordered both her books. Thank you.
Your humility is contagious
This is an empowering interview. Humane and motivating in a compassionate, honest way.

Here to spread some love and kindness to those reading this comment. Have the best day. You deserve it🧘🏻♀️
Rich looks better Today......& Mel is the BEST of the BEST --- Rich, Mel IS ACTUALLY right........
Everyone who watches this is immediately walking into their bathrooms, smiling wide as they give themselves a high five :) much love
I sure did.
For sure!! 🙋🏼♀️

@@jamesw.blatch1584 all the way from The Sunshine State Queensland 😘
Thanks Rich and Mel❤
I have a very similar story about a beloved work of art. Her story made me cry.
Whoa. Kairos, my friends! I've been listening to the both of you recently, and find resonance in both of your stories. This, today, was medicine. I know, because I felt it. I'm 60, starting again from nothing...almost sold my Cervelo but not yet. Getting a new hip which initially I found insulting, but now I see it as "setting me up for something amazing." This episode was powerful, moving, and so meaningful for me, you know, like it was meant to happen(Kairos). Without going on, and on, I'm so grateful for this and look forward to my life opening up to financial stability and perhaps a relationship. Both of you have impacted me in bonkers positive ways. Onward! ...high five!
Awe. For so long I was so hesitant for a very long time to listen to her because I thought she was Tony Robinson wife.
I'm glad I listen. Rich Roll you didn't let me down. Another amazing guest that speaks so loudly to my life...
Thank you.
Always ready to bring diversity into my knowledge. Simple and science approved. 🙌🙌My morning routine needed a little " je ne sais quoi !" Will definitely practice this! ✋
"Life is school. It's not meant to be enjoyed." Deep.
Another reason to avoid consuming animal flesh and lactation. Life isn't about "pleasure" It isn't always about "us"
Future pandemics (school) etc. until we learn to do what's right. Meanwhile, the "dog meat" trade lives on... :(
I thought he was being sarcastic…do you guys really find that quote deep?
@@JB5D and what does any of this have to do with being a vegan
@@jamesw.blatch1584 Meditate on it. Pretty self-explanatory. Choose compassion. Live vegan.
@@jamesw.blatch1584 I’m trying find out what this has to do with vegan as well lol
Mel Robbins . . I need this so much. I am scared to make a change but this is empowering and I will take a deeper dive. “This moment is preparing you for something amazing that hasn’t happened yet. Keep going.” I really need to believe in this
. I will be telling myself this.
Wow! Just wow! I connect with both of you so deeply! I think we’ve traveled similar roads of childhood trauma, codependency, and conditional love. Oh, and if I had satisfying conversations like this everyday, I could rule the world! 😂
Listening to this podcast made me accept them my failures and let go of them… this was really helpful! Thank you!
What a cool, funny and inspiring lady!
This podcast was so moving! Practical and easily digestible advice. Much love!
Thank you Rich for pointing out the problems with the self help industry. Some of it has absolutely “made me” to a shrinking flower. And thank you Mel for sharing your shitty moment in front of the mirror. I love your honesty
Thank you Rich, for reaching out to Mel to get this piece of content. I can't wait to one day make content and talk to people and learn what you get to learn through conversations.
Absolutely eye opening! I resonated with Mel from Anxiety to just always running away from life and myself to finally, at 52, getting to really know and accept who I am. I have fallen in Love with this pod cast and everyone's story. We are all in this crazy life together. So blessed to have found this outlet. Learning so much all the time. Looking forward to future guests and ordering Mel's book as soon as I finished typing. Take Care. Peace Out. :-)
Wonderful message that’s very important for many to hear at this time. Thank you for sharing your piece of the puzzle for humanity to move forward. ❤️🌷
That talk is so empowering. Thank you for your words Mel!
This amazing conversation couldn't have been more perfect for my ears to hear today. Once again, thanks so much for a truly inspirational talk. Vermont forever!!!!
So excited to listen to two of my favourite mentors! Thanks to you both, Rich & Mel! Always amazing!
Resilience.... Mel and the host thank you I needed this
Loved this heartfelt truly relatable podcast! Namaste
This was such a great interview and storytelling I had to listen twice. Thanks Rich and Mel.
Thank you both, Mel and Rich. Huge respect to both for going through your own challenges and helping others... showing what is possible, and showing that it is not all smooth sailing... it it so hard to support myself after I default to old patterns... I just get harder on myself... This helps to move away from that... and accept it happening also... It is so amazing what you both are creating together in this show... showing authentic selves, being open, genuine and true in the talk... showing the messy part of yourselves inspires me to look into myself and my own situation differently and to believe in how "I beams" move in life... and learn to trust that good and beautiful things are coming as soon as I am ready for that...♥🙏
This interview hit me hard. OMG. I have such an association with your experiences. I am a F*** up too! Even with the education and experiences I have....such a loser. I am glad to see this interview. I cried. Touched me BIG time.
This was one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to! I listened to it but by bit whilst working out and it was totally worth it
I really needed this message, thank you Rich and Mel. You are helping us so much, making our lives better in ways you can't imagine. Peace blessings and many thanks.
Thank you both for having this conversation and reminding me to give myself I high-five as I can totally relate with Mel. I felt so heard, seen, and validated. In a world where they all conditioned us to feel less than be accepted lieu of our achievements is so messed up that I'm happy to hear that we're all going through it together and help each other to reclaim our inherent power again. We are worthy for BEING ALIVE, damn it!
I'm crying tears of joy feeling so supported by strangers online. We got this, y'all. We are love. We are.
This video really did change my life. I had hit a low point two years ago after a breakup. When I think back to the moment my life started going in an uphill trajectory, I think of this video.
Writing that just gave me shivers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you both!!
Xoxoxo,
Rebel Fitz
Love this woman . Best interview ever ! Will send it to everyone I know.
Thank you Mel and Rich, this conversation helped me a lot !
I’ve listened to so many of your podcasts - all great, but this one hit home right in my heart. I’m mid-40s & needing to put my needs first and find myself. But no idea how. Now with these tools - thanks Mel and Rich, I’m feeling like it’s all do-able. 👋🏼 to you both!
43:16 I swear people admitting their failures and when they hit rock bottom is refreshing. Weird way to put it but this year I made a major change and have faced really scary times financially. It was my favorite part of the podcast. We can’t highlight reel our reality to others all the time. Thanks for this Mel! We need more honesty like this. ✋🏼🤚🏼
One of the best life coaching video and really truly inspiring. Thanks rich for bringing this on.
The best podcast ever !! Thank you ❤️
Thanks, I needed this today. It's been a rough year and after finally getting a job I got hurt and can't work again. I've had very negative thoughts and I will try these techniques to move forward.
Mel thank you for your profound truth. Rich love the way you're not intimidated ny the powerful woman figure.
Thinking of how Louise Hay stepped into the aids epidemic. Louise & Mel have very different styles but both have the brush stroke of Mother Teresa.
So GOOD!! Thank you, Rich and Mel!!!
Very inspiring. Sometimes you feel like you are the only one struggling and kicking yourself for past mistakes. Then you realize you are not the only one and that you can persevere. We all have so many blessings and we forget that sometimes.
What a deep, honest and funny conversation with you both. Love it!
Reminds me of the “20 seconds of courage” in the movie We Bought a Zoo. Great episode!
Regarding Mel's Painting Story, I have a somewhat similar story. When I was little, living in a suburb about 25 min from the local city's downtown area, my family would drive down one of the main highways and, off in the distance, I would see a tall building; the tallest building downtown at the time, at least from my perspective/direction. I was 7ish years old and always fascinated with that building. I recall thinking to myself that I'm going to be there someday; no specific reason in mind as to why, how, or what for. For years afterwards when I would go to bed and, before falling asleep, I would imagine that I lived there, worked there, everything was there. And it was connected to all other tall buildings downtown via cross-bridges.
Growing into adulthood, the fantasy and thought escaped me, though I maintained an appreciation for the building when I would go, and eventually lived, downtown. I never knew what the building was actually for, or what the inhabiting residents were, or did. I slowly inched towards a degree in environmental science, catering to my love and respect for Earth and its inhabitants, achieving that oh-so-important piece of paper at age 27. I applied and received interview offers for 3-4 environmental scientist positions at various agencies and to my surprise, on position was based at that big tall building I remembered from childhood and always liked. Lo and behold, that was the interview that offered me a position and is where I currently work today, applying what I studied in my work as a freshwater scientist mitigating pollution discharge into California's freshwater systems. It always baffles me that my passion (well, one of many) that I studied landed me in the building I dreamt about as a child. So serendipitous.
PS. Thank you, Rich, for facilitating the sharing of this incredible message. Love your podcast.
Always listening,
Joe
Amazing, it's always a pleasure to hear Mel.
Love Mel! Great podcast Rich!
interesting study. Thank you. Anxiety, medication, ADHD, Drug addiction Zoloft, and bad behavior. I do not recall one time during that conversation the term mental illness was used? I find the absence fascinating.. Entrepreneurship........Stunning!
My heart breaks for this woman’s children.
If it wasn’t hard enough to have a mom who whines about how hard it is not to yell at you or abuse alcohol, or who brags about spending money that should go to a crib for you on an object to boost her ego, you then have to deal with her legions of enablers that are so happy to buy her message of easy solutions for complicated problems.
Notice how she tells her daughter, that she is the only one who can fix her problems, conveniently washing her hands of the problems she creates for her children. She even shows awareness that negative self talk come from caretakers who fall short, but who is such a caretaker, Mel?
S C - your heart is 'breaking' for yourself, IMO.
Only you can figure out why...
Clearly you have just projected some aspect of yourself onto Mel.
Too bad...but I'm sure Mel - knowing what she knows about human psychology - realizes the projection, as well.
I would love to have Mel as a mom, she has this giant loving heart, smart, brave, real and just has her own way, her children are lucky with or without a crib
@@בצלוענייניםוטימטום 😄😁👍
Nice reply!
Great comment ❤️ agreed 100% I saw straight through this grifter
I woke up from a nap with this on in the background. The timing is perfect. Thank you.
I believe we all have a story to tell. I can relate to some of Mel's story about failure and springing back from it. After a certain age we all can be teachers to help people along the way.
going to start the HIGH FIVE in the morning while brushing my teeth. Thanks Mel and Rich
Just an AMAZING podcast/conversation! I love you both! You are so inspiring!! 😍🤩🙏🏽💪🏽 thank you!!
This has been one of my favorite conversations.
This podcast is really educational Thank you in connection to the fact that toxic anxiety needs to be addressed truthfully Thank you again.
Love Mel. Rich too. I’ve been high fiving since I listened to her a few weeks ago.
Wonderful.. thank you, love nash
I really LOVED this podcast. Thank you Rich! Mel is so good at spreading this positive energy - really contagious! It was a real treat.
Absolutely loved this episode, thanks a lot Mel 🖐🏼
This high five principal is interesting yet for me I came to not like high five as at my last job, my boss would want to give me a high five for the good job I was doing, yet I was way under paid. The high did not pay the rent. He appeared to think this was my reward for a department where I raised the sales weekly from 24-49%. It did not work for me and I found it demeaning. I asked him to stop. Now supporting myself by high five myself is different. I left that job because they would not giving me a living wage and I man less than 14 an hour
Well... learning from that lousy job experience prepared you for something better, right?
So glad you stood up for yourself. Hope you let then know WHY you were leaving...including exactly what you thought about all those phony high fives. Good for you!
Wow this is a very overwhelming pod cast Mel your are giving me things to look forward too. It got me emotional on the stories you had and thinking of it the simplest things in life we tent to forget. I saw that cartoon that was sleeping and go on and on funny. It looks like there is always purpose for everything and that's is one of my philosophy in my life any good and bad happens there is a learning in your life. Thank you and I will do the 54321 and the high five again thank you.
Ordered 2 books and the journal today. I have needed something really positive and uplifting in my life for the past 4 years. I think, along with the "High Five", getting rid of the dead weight negative pseudo boyfriend of 4 years will lead me in the right direction. Thanks, Mel and Rich.
She is speaking my language
Wow! Talk about reframing the way I look at myself and my entire world! Thank you for this conversation. I’m going to start right away and allow the ❤️s to flow.
Mel is a legend!
She's my friend. But I never met or spoke to her. Wonderful woman
Thank you for bringing lofty ideas down to reality for all of us who are human.
Thank you Rich for what you do, truly! I love this episode.
I did Landmark Education. Some people get sucked in but if you understand it's a company meant to make money you can learn what you need and move on.
I started judging my physical appereance since I was a teenager so much that I discovered the wonderful technique of deciding not to watch myself in the mirror. I had realized that everytime I saw myself it would make me feel so bad that I decided not to do it anymore, so everyday I just looked at it the necessary time to comb my hair and then never again....this has stuck until now, and I am 27, trying this high 5 in the mirror is going to be something
