  • Make Yourself Recession-Proof: The New Rules of Work, Confidence, and Success in Uncertain Times

    Make Yourself Recession-Proof: The New Rules of Work, Confidence, and Success in Uncertain Times
    Jun 11 2026
    If work feels shaky right now: If you’re being overlooked for a promotion or raise, If you’re changing jobs or looking for a job, If you’ve been feeling uneasy about changes in tech and AI, If the feeling at work is “anything could happen…” This episode is for you. The world is moving fast, companies are shifting, and a lot of people are sitting back and hoping they don’t get hit. Carla Harris is here to make sure you’re not one of them. Carla is one of the most respected leaders on Wall Street. She’s spent 35 years in the rooms where decisions get made: who gets promoted, who gets picked, who gets overlooked, and why. The world is changing fast. The strategies that worked in 2025 will not work in 2026. When the world changes, you must change with it, or as our expert will caution you – you’ll “become a fossil.” She will tell you exactly which skills, what mindset, and what actions you need to take in 2026 to succeed at work so you can position yourself so you’re not waiting for someone else to “notice” your potential. In this conversation, you will learn: -The 2 things holding women back at any stage in their career and how to overcome them -How to stand out at work in the age of AI and nonstop change -How to take control of your career in midlife (It’s easier than you think) -The one relationship that gets you promoted (and it’s not always your boss) -What to do when you’re exhausted but still need to show up and perform -How to finally stop self-doubt (without any weird tricks or hacks) -How to evolve your career without starting from scratch -How to prepare for your annual review so you get what you want -Why you can be great at your job and still get overlooked (and what to do about it) -How to figure out what you want next using Carla’s “blank sheet” method -How to build a timeline to escape a toxic job without blowing up your life You’ll also hear Carla coach real listeners through layoffs, rebuilding confidence, and returning to work after years at home. Carla calls this next chapter Me 3.0. This is the phase where you stop living by someone else’s report card and start designing a career (and life) you want to wake up for. Today, she’s giving you the career coaching session of a lifetime – one that no amount of money could buy, because she doesn’t offer one on one sessions. She says, this is not the moment to sit back – it’s time to put your foot on the gas. And if you use what Carla teaches you in this episode, you won’t just feel more confident. You’ll be positioned to win.

    The Hidden Reason You Feel Exhausted & How to Feel Better Now
    Jun 8 2026
    If you’ve been feeling exhausted, tired, bloated, anxious, in pain, or just not like yourself, you need to hear today’s episode. Today, Mel sits down with one of the most respected medical researchers in the world, gastroenterologist Dr. Brennan Spiegel, to uncover the overlooked, invisible force that’s having a shocking impact on your energy, strength, gut health, mood, and every single cell in your body – even how fast your body ages. Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, back pain, swelling, digestion issues, or a heaviness in your body that you can’t shake, Dr. Spiegel says these are all signs you shouldn’t ignore. Dr. Spiegel is a gastroenterologist and the director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, one of the leading medical centers in the United States. He is also a professor of medicine and public health at UCLA. He trained at Cedars-Sinai and UCLA, and is a pioneering researcher in the areas of gut health, the usage of AI in medicine, and tools that help patients with pain, anxiety, and chronic illness. He’s the founding editor of the Journal of Medical Extended Reality and he served as Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Dr. Spiegel has published more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers, his research has been cited 30,000 times, and he is the author of Pull: How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health. What Dr. Spiegel reveals will challenge the way you think about your body and, more importantly, give you a completely new, practical way to start feeling better immediately. And it may give you the words and the insight you’ve been missing to help your aging parents and other loved ones finally start feeling better, too. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand: -Why a “bendy” pinky might be a clue to what’s going on in your gut -10 foods that boost serotonin production in your body -The most effective treatment for IBS - and it’s probably not what you’ve tried -A quick way to notice how the force of gravity is showing up in your body -How to make yourself taller in just a few minutes -Why standing on one leg is linked to a longer life -How a weighted vest can change your posture almost immediately -A surprising reason rollercoasters feel unbearable for some people -What “gravity management” looks like in real life -One small habit that can improve how your body handles gravity Dr. Spiegel says the powerful, invisible force shaping every moment of your life is one you can learn to work with – and he’ll show you how. This is one of those conversations that will change how you see your body, your health, and what it means to be fully alive.

  • Your Summer Reset for More Energy, Fun, & Happiness (Backed by Science)

    Your Summer Reset for More Energy, Fun, & Happiness (Backed by Science)
    Jun 4 2026

    This episode will help you hit reset on the rest of your year and make your life feel like yours again.

    In today’s personal solo episode, Mel will help you pause, reconnect with yourself, and ask you two powerful questions that can change how you experience the rest of the year.

    Because somehow, the year is already almost halfway over. And if you’re like most people, you’ve been moving so fast that you haven’t stopped to recognize the hard things you’ve gotten through and the progress you’ve made.

    If you’ve felt like:

    …your life feels like one long to-do list

    …you’re tired, flat, or stuck in the same routine

    …you need something to look forward to, but don’t even know what that is anymore

    This episode is your mid-year reset.

    It’s also a hilarious and intimate catch-up with Mel after 56 days on tour. She answers these questions alongside you and shares never-before-heard, behind-the-scenes stories from the road.

    Then Mel walks you through two simple questions that will help you pause, take stock of your life, and reconnect with parts of yourself you may have forgotten:

    These questions force you to stop and give yourself credit for the hard things you got through and the ways you keep showing up even when nobody sees it.

    They also remind you that life is not just about work, bills, errands, caregiving, laundry, and getting through the day.

    Life is meant to be lived.

    In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

    - Stop measuring your life only by what you haven’t done

    - Give yourself credit for the progress you keep overlooking

    - Recognize the hard things you’ve already made it through

    - Break out of autopilot and the same old routine

    - Understand why having something to look forward to matters so much

    - Create more energy, novelty, anticipation, and joy

    - Put something on the calendar that gives your mind somewhere good to go

    This episode will help you stop, take a breath, give yourself credit, and create something to look forward to - because if you change nothing, nothing changes.

What more can we ask for? Someone who’s almost like a personal guide helping us through life. I’ve spent thousands of dollars (and invested a great deal of time) on my journey to self discovery - but - never has one person and the advice they give impacted MORE. Simple, practical advice that I can follow on a daily basis. Mel Robbins is truly a life changing find for me.

A MUST listen….a GUARANTEED support!

All of Mel Robbins material I have consumed has been exactly what I need when I’m ready to hear it or the kick into action with the exact right amount of intensity. Thankyou for sharing all the steps not just the ‘pretty’ ones it makes everything so much more accessible. As an Autistic/ ADHD women who struggles with all the bits of executive function, your step by step daily habits make progress, improvement and achievement possible. I’m so looking forward to the podcast each week I’m sure it will be a high point and Happy Birthday for next week.

What kindness, wisdom and generosity of spirit!

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.

Mel Robbins Podcast - finally it's here

Wow, blown away by this podcast! Mel interviews Dr Russell Kennedy, who says anxiety often originates from our relationship with our parents in childhood, due to underlying issues related to parent behaviour. This is ultimately tied to how we then go on to behave as adults. So anxiety is like an echo from our past. Some brilliant insight here.

Mel knows how to ask specific questions and break down somewhat complicated subjects into clear, understandable ideas for the listeners to digest. It would have been nice to hear a bit more from Dr Russell, as there were some points where he was about to make an interesting statement and he got interrupted due to Mel's excitement and interest. But Mel made sure that he would come back again, and there are some great takeaways from this chat.

I loved how both Mel and Russell agreed on so many things, and even overlapped concepts, like 5,4,3,2,1 - into my body! High fiving your heart, some positive self talk, etc.

Mel, if you're reading this, I think you would be SO good at helping people understand and cope with their own egos, you've already been unknowingly teaching a lot of helpful concepts - you know more about the ego than you realise!

Looking forward to Dr Russell Kennedy coming back to talk about Ego and other things, I enjoyed his insights so much that I've downloaded his audiobook, "Anxiety Rx", and it's really good :)

Great tips on focusing on your body instead of your thoughts
