Anne Ghesquière welcomes Mel Robbins, best-selling American author of the Let Them Theory, speaker, podcaster, and behavioral change specialist. Why do we constantly seek to fix, control, or satisfy others? How can we redirect our energy towards what really matters? How can we regain our confidence and joy in being fully ourselves? Mel Robbins shares her revolutionary method for freeing ourselves from judgment, stress, and the need for approval. It can be summed up in two words, “Let them,” which have transformed her life... and that of millions of people around the world. Her book, The Let Them Theory, is already an international phenomenon, selling over 7 million copies and ranking number 1 on the New York Times Bestsellers list. It is finally being published in France by Leduc. Episode #643
