Are you exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy? Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory has gone viral for a reason—it’s simple, powerful, and life-changing. In this episode, Kylie shares her biggest takeaways from the book and why learning to say “let them” (and the equally powerful “let me”) could be the reset button parents desperately need.

Discover how this mindset can protect your peace, strengthen your relationships, and stop the endless cycle of people-pleasing—while still showing up as the parent your kids need.

KEY POINTS
The Let Them mindset: stop wasting energy on what you can’t control.
The crucial second step: Let Me—reclaim your power and choose your response.
Why detaching from other people’s moods and opinions is freeing, not selfish.
Stress hack: pause, breathe, and reset before reacting.
Setting boundaries without guilt—why trying to please everyone leaves no one happy.
How parents can balance “letting them” with still guiding and safeguarding kids.

ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS
The next time someone criticises or reacts negatively, pause and say to yourself: let them.
Add the second step: let me—choose a calm, intentional response.
Release the urge to manage other people’s emotions and focus on your own values and actions.
Set boundaries without apology—someone will always be disappointed, and that’s okay.
Model this mindset for your kids so they learn resilience, responsibility, and freedom from people-pleasing.
