Today, we’re diving into Mel Robbins’ popular “Let Them” theory. While this concept has resonated with many, I share why it didn’t land the same way for me after reading her book. We’ll unpack both the wisdom and the potential pitfalls of this mindset.

Together, we’ll explore:

The heart of the “Let Them” theory and why people love it

The toxic side of “letting them” that can look like avoidance or disconnection

Spiritual perspectives from Jesus and Buddha on detachment and love in action

Neuroscience insights into boundaries, resilience, and emotional regulation

A practical life mastery tip to help you apply discernment with compassion

If you’ve ever felt torn between releasing control and standing in your truth, this episode will help you navigate the tension with both wisdom and heart.

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, we explore the paradox of time:

🧠 The science of time — how our brains and physics reveal its fluid, relative nature

🌌 The spiritual perspective — wisdom traditions that remind us only the present moment is real

⏳ The paradox — how time can feel like both a thief and a teacher

🌱 A simple presence practice to help you anchor yourself in the now

If you’ve ever felt like life is moving too fast, or caught yourself dwelling on the past or future, this episode is your reminder: the only place we truly live is here, now.

Are we tired because we’re actually tired or because our brains are overloaded? Today, I’m diving into decision fatigue, what’s happening in our brain when we feel mentally drained, and why simplifying life might be exactly what we need. I share how growing up with fewer options (hello, TGIF lineup and Nintendo 64 GoldenEye nights) felt simpler, and how life today, despite its convenience, leaves us more isolated and exhausted.

We’ll talk about practical ways to reduce decision fatigue (including a call back to Ep. 289 with Ryan Mitchell on tiny living) and why simplifying your wardrobe, meals, or even streaming habits can free up your energy for what really matters.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

What decision fatigue actually is and how it affects your brain

How our increasingly isolated, choice heavy culture impacts mental energy

Practical tips to simplify life and reclaim mental clarity

Have you ever heard a song and felt it in your bones?

In this soul-stirring episode, we dive into the unseen power of music — how it moves through the body, awakens memory, and serves as a spiritual tool for healing and reclamation. From the science of frisson (those full-body chills) to the sacred energy of collective singing, this conversation explores why music isn’t just background noise — it’s a frequency we become.

Lauren shares a deeply personal story of waking up with Fleetwood Mac’s “Silver Springs” echoing in her mind, leading her to a raw, emotional reckoning while watching Stevie Nicks’ legendary 1997 performance. What followed was a moment of reclamation — of voice, of power, and of truth.

Whether you’re in a season of grief, transition, or reconnection, this episode is a soft reminder:

Lauren shares a deeply personal season of life, navigating motherhood, ambition, and identity, while reflecting on how quickly we can become invisible to ourselves in the process. But this isn’t just about burnout. It’s about reconnection, choice, and what it takes to start meeting your own needs again.
