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.

Could an acting class supercharge your business? In this episode, I share why every entrepreneur should try improv or acting, drawing from my own path - from drama school to founding Nautilus, my digital marketing agency. Improv sharpened my ability to think on my feet, adapt to curveballs, and bring authenticity to client calls, pitches, and even keynote stages. It’s about swapping rigid scripts for genuine connection.

Improv helps to build unshakable confidence and a playful resilience that’s invaluable for founders. Imagine playing a quirky role, like a malfunctioning toaster, in a scene. It’s odd, sure, but it unlocks a bolder, more human way to lead, pitch, and close deals.
