  • 7 Things to Tell Yourself Every Day

    7 Things to Tell Yourself Every Day
    Jan 5 2026

    This episode is about taking your power back and giving yourself the credit you deserve.

    Everyone needs a friend who reminds you who you really are. Today, Mel is that friend.

    In this episode, Mel shares 7 powerful things to remind yourself every day. These carefully chosen sentences pull you back into your strength, your courage, and your confidence.

    They are the words you need to hear that activate the most capable version of you.

    This episode will help you:

    -Reclaim your power when you’ve been playing small or second-guessing yourself

    -Set boundaries that protect your energy without guilt

    -Stop letting other people’s moods, opinions, or expectations dictate your day

    -Get out of comparison and focus on your own progress

    -Let go of what’s draining you and refocus on what actually matters

    -Move forward with more clarity, confidence, and intention

    These powerful reminders are paired with the science behind why they work, so you’re not just inspired in the moment, but so you understand how to make changes that last.

    Mel reminds you what you need to hear most: you are not powerless.

    This episode is not about fixing what is wrong with you. You are not broken. It’s about remembering who you are and how capable you’ve always been.

    You’ll walk away feeling more grounded, more in control, and more like yourself.

    Hit play when you want to feel clear, steady, and back in charge.

  • 2026 Body Reset: How to Get Stronger, Lose Fat, & Take Control of Your Health

    2026 Body Reset: How to Get Stronger, Lose Fat, & Take Control of Your Health
    Jan 1 2026
    Today’s episode is a MUST listen. This is your 2026 Body Reset and it’s all about taking control of your health once and for all. If you want to get stronger, lose fat, move better, and feel good in your body again – without extreme workouts, punishing diets, or guessing what actually works – this episode will give you a clear, proven path forward. For too long, people have been told to ignore pain, push through exhaustion, and accept stiffness, weight gain, and chronic discomfort as “part of getting older.”That ends now. Today, Mel sits down with Dr. Betsy Grunch, one of the top neurosurgeons and spine surgeons in the world, known to millions online as Lady Spine Doc, where her advice on health has earned her over 185 million likes on TikTok alone. In this powerful, practical episode, Dr. Grunch breaks down how to eat, sleep, and move in a way that protects your body, builds strength, and keeps you out of pain. She shares her own transformation from caregiver to neurosurgeon to losing over 85 pounds and rebuilding her own health, and what that taught her about sustainable change. Then, she reveals the proven protocol she uses with patients every day to help them lose fat, regain strength, and take control of their health. She also explains why most people are unknowingly damaging their bodies through everyday habits, why pain is a warning sign you should never ignore, and how small changes compound into massive results over time. In this episode, you’ll learn: -The everyday habits that quietly damage your spine (and speed up aging) -The biggest posture and movement mistakes most people make -What tech neck is and how to reverse it-How to sleep for better spine health (including the best positions and pillow) -How to rebuild muscle and gain mobility with 2 simple exercises -How to get stronger and lose fat without wrecking your joints or back -Why sitting, sleeping, and lifting the wrong way accelerates aging -The simple strength principles that protect your body for life If you want 2026 to be the year you feel stronger, leaner, and more capable in your body, this episode is for you.

  • Change Your Life This Year: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

    Change Your Life This Year: How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be
    Dec 29 2025
    In today’s episode, you’re going to learn exactly how to achieve your goals, stay motivated, and create real, lasting change in your life. If you’ve struggled to create change that sticks… If you know exactly what you want to change, but can’t follow through… If you’re tired of blaming willpower… This conversation will give you clarity, relief, and a proven way forward. Joining Mel today is Dr. Katy Milkman, PhD, one of the world’s leading behavioral scientists, an endowed professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and co-founder of the Behavior Change for Good Initiative. In her lab at UPenn, Dr. Milkman consolidated the findings from 192 researchers and found that there are 7 hidden barriers that stop people from changing, even when they desperately want to. Today, she walks through each of the 7 barriers and explains why each barrier requires a different, evidence-backed strategy. Trying harder doesn’t work. Using the right tool does. Dr. Milkman will also share the secret weapon for creating real change in your life called the Fresh Start Effect. In this episode, you’ll learn: -The real reason change feels so hard – and why you’re not lazy, broken, or lacking discipline -The 7 hidden barriers that quietly stop you from following through -How to identify which barrier is blocking you -Why willpower keeps letting you down and what works when motivation disappears -Why procrastination, impulsivity, and forgetting are predictable and the simple tools that stop them -How to make hard habits feel easier and more rewarding, so they finally stick -The science-backed way to design your environment for success instead of relying on self-control In this conversation, Dr. Milkman gives you a practical framework to stop fighting yourself and start working with how your brain actually functions. If you’re ready for this year to be different, this episode is for you. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. And once you understand the science, change finally becomes possible.

Since Mel Robbins advised on the Launch program that she was releasing her own podcast, I have been waiting and waiting, which I am not very patient. I can't believe it's nearly here. Yay, go Mel.
