  • The Life Experiment Theory: One Rule That Changes How You Do Everything
    Dec 11 2025

    This episode is a MUST listen.

    If you feel stuck right now - whether it’s with your health, your job, your habits, your relationships - this conversation is for you.

    Today, you’re getting a new framework that helps you create an instant shift, and it comes from one of Mel’s favorite thinkers on the planet: Mark Rober.

    Mark is a NASA engineer who turned his love of science and education into the #1 science education platform in the world, with 72 million YouTube subscribers.

    And here’s here to teach you a completely different way to approach goals, confidence, and happiness:

    Treat your entire life like an experiment.

    Mark has spent his life turning failure into data, setbacks into experiments, and high-pressure work into play.

    He has synthesized every single thing he has learned into a few simple tools and strategies that he is teaching you today.

    His personal framework, rooted in engineering, will help you achieve your goals, improve your habits, be happier, make better decisions, have more fun, and become more confident.

    This is about thinking like an engineer, not to build rockets, but to build a better life.

    You’ll learn:

    -How to make your goals more fun so you stick with them

    -What the Super Mario Effect is and how it will change how you think about “failure” forever

    -A stress-free way to choose your next step when the future feels blurry

    You’ll also learn the lessons behind some of his wildest experiments, his simple method for beating overwhelm and uncertainty, and a specific message for teachers.

    If you’re tired of overthinking, afraid to make a move, or bored with your own excuses, this episode is a masterclass in engineering your way forward and turning failure into fuel.

  • The Reset You Need: How to Transform Your Life at Any Moment
    Dec 8 2025

    If you’ve been feeling the itch for something more in life: a new chapter, a new dream, a new version of yourself – this episode is your green light.

    It is a guide to how you can transform your life at any moment.

    Today, Mel sits down with her friend Hoda Kotb. Hoda, more than anyone else, will prove to you that reinvention is something you CAN do.

    In her twenties and thirties, she climbed the ranks in newsrooms across the country and refused to quit until she landed one of the most coveted jobs in the world, a co-anchor of the Today Show.

    In her forties she became a breast cancer survivor, in her fifties she adopted her daughters and became a mother for the first time, and at sixty, she walked away from the peak of her career to launch a brand-new business with no prior experience.

    Every single time life whispered, “It’s too late for you,” Hoda said, “No, it’s not. Watch me.”

    The wisdom she is sharing, directly with you, will prove that it's not too late – you can reinvent your life.

    She is going to walk you step by step through how she did it, over and over again.

    She will teach you how to:

    -“Stop the train” of your life, zoom out, and honestly ask, “Is this actually enough for me?”

    -Find the courage to give voice to the quiet dream you’ve buried because you’re afraid it won’t happen

    -Keep going when other people say you're not good enough

    -Reframe fear, rejection, and “no” using Hoda’s wild early-career story (27 rejections and ONE person who changed everything)

    -Truly start to believe that you do deserve more

    If you feel stuck in your job, your relationship, your routine, or just in a version of yourself you’ve outgrown, this episode is your permission slip and your playbook.

    This is your sign. This is your moment.

    Let Hoda show you what’s possible.

  • If This Episode Doesn’t Motivate You, Nothing Will
    Dec 4 2025

    This is one of the most motivating episodes of all time on The Mel Robbins Podcast.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or like it’s too late to reach your potential, you need to hear this conversation.

    Today’s episode is a wake-up call.

    You can break free of regret, shame, and fear.

    You can become the person you know you’re meant to be.

    It’s not too late to change.

    And this conversation will show you how.

    Today, you’re going to meet one of the most inspiring and motivational human beings on the planet, viral powerhouse Wallace Peeples, also known as Wallo.

    Wallo spent 20 years in prison and came out with nothing but $1,000, a used iPhone, and a mission to change his life.

    Now, he reaches millions every week with a message that reminds you that you are capable of so much more.

    Whether you’re rebuilding after a setback, struggling to believe change is possible, or finally ready to stop making excuses and start moving, this conversation will light a fire under you.

    And fair warning: this episode is more intense than the average episode. More cursing. But also more truth and even more fuel. Because sometimes that’s what breakthrough sounds like.
