E265｜Why Mel Robbins Thinks Social Media is STILL the Most Important Thing For Your Business in 2025
“People will have negative opinions about you and every single thing you do. Let them.”
– Mel Robbins
Everyone is talking about Mel Robbins’ latest book, The Let Them Theory. And trust us when we say you’ll be nodding along to what she has to say.
In it, Mel shares her own struggle with promoting herself on social media when she first started as a motivational speaker.
Despite having a vision for her business, she hesitated, worried about what her friends and family would think.
😨 She wrote post after post and left them sitting in drafts.
😨 She overthought every caption.
😨 She feared looking arrogant.
😨 She feared people questioning her credibility.
It took her two years – TWO YEARS – to finally turn down the volume on her fears and start posting consistently. And this is Mel Robbins we’re talking about!
If she felt that way, no wonder so many of us do too.
Here’s why you should listen in
