This week’s episode is really special. It’s with Mel Robbins.

It was such an honour to speak with her. She was in the UK for a few days speaking about her latest book and she made time to speak with me for the Motherkind podcast. When I shared on Instagram that I was speaking with her so many of you DMd me saying how much you love her work and asking how I got her on.

I have been following Mel for a long time. She has been really influential in helping me achieve some of the changes I’ve made in my life.

Mel is a former layer and one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in the world. Her TedX talk has had nearly 30 million views. And, she is the author of best-selling book the High Five Habit.

What I love about Mel is that a lot of her work, tools and ideas come from moments in her life when she was stuck and then found ways to overcome that. And then, what’s so wonderful, is that she finds a way to share, in simple practical ways, what helped her.

I first learned about Mel from her book the Five-second rule. She says if you have an instinct to act on a goal, you must physically move within 5 seconds or your brain will kill it. You just say 5-4-3-2-1 and then take the action. It is so simple and brilliant. I use it all the time.

Her new tool, which we focus on in this episode, is the High Five Habit. After using this tool for several weeks, her relationship with herself changed. It could help you to change your attitude, mindset and behaviour too.

We chat about:

The High Five Habit and how it can support your relationship with yourself

The most important relationship you will ever have

Her challenges and struggles and how she got out of them

I love her and find her incredibly inspiring and brilliant and I hope you love the episode too. Let me know what you think of the episode and if you are going to give the high five challenge a go. I have been doing it for 30 days now and find it really works.

As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
