The LET THEM theory ✨

Okay okay I’ve been a fan of Mel Robbins and I heard about this theory on her podcast and I was like okay whatever it makes sense, “ we can’t control other people” “let other people do what they’re gonna do” etc.

BUT. This book has been extremely healing and helpful for me.

Everyone can get something out of this whether you’re looking to transition into a new job, cut people off, adjusting to new family and relationship dynamics, etc

I HIGHLY recommend as your next self-healing and empowerment book❤️

Let me add this to my audiobook list! I listened a podcast with her describing the book and even that little takeaway was helpful.

📖 Currently Reading: The Let Them Theory 📖
One of the biggest lessons I’m learning lately is simple: Let them. If they want to leave… let them. If they don’t see your value… let them. If they misunderstand your intentions… let them. If they choose not to show up for you… let them. Not because it doesn’t hurt. Not because you do
