In this episode, we’re diving into Mel Robbins’ “Let Them” Theory and how it can transform your nursing practice, especially if you’re a new grad or navigating the pressures of the job.

The “Let Them” Theory is simple yet powerful:

  • Let Them: Release the need to control other people—their actions, emotions, or opinions.
  • Let Me: Give yourself permission to focus on what you can control—your goals, growth, and well-being.

We will walk through real-life nursing scenarios - from being pressured to pick up extra shifts, to handling frustrated patients, to setting boundaries with family and show you how this mindset shift helps protect your mental health, reduce burnout, and boost your confidence at work.

Whether you’re a nursing student, new graduate nurse, or experienced RN, this episode will give you practical tools to manage stress, build resilience, and thrive in your career.
