About this listen
In this episode of Mindfully Masculine, Charles dives into Chapters 1 and 2 of The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins—and let’s just say, it gets heated early.
From micromanaging her son’s prom to being left off a girls’ trip, Mel lays out the moments that inspired her viral advice: “Let them.” But is it personal growth… or just a new way to dodge accountability?
Charles pulls no punches, questioning whether Mel’s stories reflect real insight or just strategic rebranding. Along the way, he explores control, shame spirals, friendship dynamics, and why some of us might not get invited to the party (and maybe shouldn’t).
You’ll hear:
– Why that prom corsage story is driving Charles up a wall
– The missing middle ground between shame and detachment
– How “let them” might become emotional bypassing without the right reflection
– Dan’s personal connection to the control struggle—and what he wishes he’d heard sooner
– A brutally honest take on whether The Let Them Theory is a breakthrough or just good marketing
Whether you’re a control freak in recovery or just wondering why you didn’t get that group text, this one’s for you.
Next up: Chapters 3 and 4—where stress, control, and identity collide.
