Sophistic Nonsense

The title is the review. The end.
Novy78

Repetitive and Somewhat nonsensical

The same sound bytes were replayed throughout the episode. Also, the comment about when you post on your social media account, it’s for “your self expression” and who cares what people say in the comments - this makes zero sense. Social media is social. If you don’t want others to evaluate you, take a picture that’s just for you. Posting a picture is an invitation for judgement. Better advice would be, who cares what others think of you, close your social media accounts and live your life in peace.

Great information

Mel provides complex information in bite size ways to serve most. Thank you
MidtownATLGal

Use to enjoy but now it's all about menopause

Am sick to death of hearing about everyone's periods and PMS and period panties and being peri-menopausal, then full-blown menopausal, then post-menopausal. GAWD. Women complain about being judged by our bodies, yet all we freaking talk about is our bodies!!!! From now on, I'm only going to listen to business and self-help podcasts with male hosts. Used to really enjoy this podcast but now that Mel is "at that age", yep, it's menopause talk ALL THE TIME, with references to her menopause symptoms dropped into almost every conversation FOR NO REASON. TMI, Mel. If I want info about menopause, I'll talk to my doctor. Sadly, after being a listener from the beginning, this week I hit the unsubscribe button.
MoveB86

Reviewing. Again.

I submitted a review about Mel having Chrissy Teigen on her show. I’ll reword it carefully so it doesn’t get flagged. A simple research on Mrs. John Legend and bff with Mr. Epstein will have you questioning Mel’s integrity. I’m disappointed.

Obsessed

Mel, I am obsessed with your podcast. I learn some thing impactful from every single one that I listen to. I’m a recent fan but a very, very dedicated one. I still can’t get my hands on your book, but I’m trying! I will always be in your audience. You are an inspiration.
Nieztejziemi

Reason you are exhausted

It’s an important topic, the business we are swimming in. And nobody realizes how it’s consuming our lives. Well, there ate people who do realize it and nobody listens to them: it starts with unpopular kids at school who are usually introverted, more sensitive, attuned to their inner self which gets distorted by demands of the main stream of extraverted majority of noisy, busy crowd. Still when this crowd grows into adults they don’t realize why they need the minority of the quiet people. We have been showing you the way all the time.

Everything is life changing

Every time I listen to a new episode. It somehow seems better than the last. How is that humanly possible?!
Jillian Jasie

Best of the best

Consistently high quality show with great takeaways! Mel has a way of making so many topics easily accessible and breaks down information into practical steps and advice. When you know better, you do better and you listen to Mel Robbins.
Kelly_the Great!

Just life changing

Okay, let me get started on saying how life changing just popping in your earbuds and listening to the Mel Robinson’s Podcast can be! I mean the first time I heard the podcast was in the car with my mom, driving to dance class. It was a whole new perspective of how I see things. It was I suppose... I actually don’t know, BUT I know that it was about how you see yourself can affect your lifestyle. Sounds SUPER cheesy right? That’s how I was when I first heard that what it was about, but when I really, deeply thought about it, I decided my New Years resolution would be a kinder person to myself and others. So you now know that just listening to just ONE of her episodes can impact your life significantly. Just imagine if everyone everywhere would just hit the play button to one of her episodes! And that’s why I would advice you to listen to the Mel Robinson’s Podcast: a podcast worth checking out.
ooolaurenooo

Life changing. Thank you

Keep going please!
Sunshinehibiscus

Wonderful podcast

Waiting for the “Let Them Theory” book, it will arrive Tuesday. I cannot wait to read it.
Lol. Lol

Political

Sadly, even Mel caved to the election drama on her IG page. So disappointing. It wasn’t necessary. She does have some occasional good episodes. But if I wanted politics, I wouldn’t go to the self help section! I won’t be listening anymore. I can see that she has an agenda beyond her books etc. Too bad.
trigrnbay

Mind blown!

The latest episode with Dr. Li has really made me think about the choices I’ve made and what I need to change in my eating habits. Thank you so much! Definitely in my top 5 Mel episodes!
Fernando Rose

Dr. Li Question

(Question for Dr. Li) Hi Mel! Your episode with Dr. Li didn’t disappoint one bit! It was incredibly informative- and I enjoyed learning about how I can take better care of myself. If you happen to speak with Dr. Li again on the podcast about metabolism, what’s the chance you can please ask him the following question? Dr. Li, your notes on fasting really struck a chord. I do have one question though… can I have coffee before my morning workout? I know you mentioned you love coffee and that anything without calories is okay during the fasting period, but I ask because I was told that drinking coffee without something in my stomach will spike my glucose levels. As someone with PCOS, I have been warned to be careful about monitoring insulin resistance in order to lose weight. I hope to hear your thoughts, and thank you in advance!

Seriously?

Ok, I just listened to this show for the 1st time - it was the health episode with Dr. Li. Is Mel Robbins seriously this stupid? Or is she feigning ignorance to pander to an audience she assumes is this stupid? It has been widely known for the past 20+ years that deli meat and diet soda are basically poison. Mel missed the memo. This lady seriously said she thought deli meat came from a part of an animal shaped like the plastic tube! I refuse to believe that anyone this dumb would be given a platform. How is this a #1 podcast? Do people seriously take her seriously? 🤯

Dr. Li

Fantastic Episode with Dr. Li
SPWilds

I ❤️ Mel, but…Dr. William Li

Hmmm…I would love to believe what Dr. William Li has to say about food, diet, fat, etc., but why in the world does he sound like an infomercial evangelist?! Fishy
SWP5

I ❤️ Mel

I just listened to my first episode (Top Expert Advice of 2024) and it will certainly not be my last. It was so moving and inspirational and I look forward to a lot more time with Mel.
LilMissWordy

Too fluffy and salesy

I really want to give a higher rating but I can’t because Mel drags things out so much and is way too salesy — I can’t recommend this to friends. (I’d like to.) The content is good, but the delivery ruins it.
Dedado

Sponsors

I love you Mel and I love your podcast. I’m a faithful listener since the beginning and will continue to be. I’m concerned by 2 recent sponsors that have shown up on your podcasts, Rice a Roni and something peanut butter and jelly that I’ve forgotten the name of. Both highly processed foods. Usually your sponsors are high quality products and companies that are going to help me be better. You have done so many podcasts on health and wellness and I know the negative impact of these products to our bodies and minds is something you are aware of. I just wanted to add my opinion and ask you to continue to accept sponsorship from companies that will help us help ourselves be better and do better.
fkliyfjjf

Overrated

I don’t understand the appeal. Just a bunch of fluffy self-help jargon. Phony. Kinda culty. Tried 2 episodes. No thanks.

Best Christmas 🌲present

I’ve listened to the “One tool that will transform…” podcast twice and I am completely blown away. Plus convinced that this segment will be the first step to transform the relationship with my siblings. Thank you Sawyer and Mel. PS. I think this could be applied to corporate America and workplace relations (LinkedIn courses).
kmehawkeye

Wow

Listen to “Six words that will change your family”and I am shook. I actually listened to the episode 2 1/2 times so I could make notes and review some of what you were talking about. I have sent it to everyone I know and absolutely loved hearing the emotion that came out during the episode.
RileyA10101

The BEST podcast!!

I am so grateful I found this podcast. It is something I look forward to listening on my way to work every week. Great advice and amazing conversations. A wonderful self growth podcast with your friend Mel. Thanks Mel for all you do to bring this informations to all our ears!! Amazing!!!!!
gmann750

waste of time

first time listener. listened to the dating episode. takes forever to get to the point. lots of filler and "wait till you see this!" blah blah. nah
Ann030902

So happy I found this podcast

Mel has topics I wanna hear about and learn about, she inspires me to grow and better myself, and she also makes me feel seen! Love her personality and demeanor on the show.
Bluebonnet441

Genius

Always uplifting, lots of new perspectives to think about. I learned about Mel from her dropping off her son at college podcast. Genius ideas, all kids need to know about college, and life transitions.
VerifiedApple User

Insufferable

Every single podcast is Mel literally running over her guests so she can give her two cents. The latest dating episode she spoke over the guest and took over. Shes married and has not “dated” in decades yet she speaks as if she is the queen of the dating apps. She does this on every single topic. Especially on her heath episodes and she looks unhealthy. So over her.
Jordan762

Impeccable timing as always Mel

I'm grateful
BarbaraC123

Great Episode with your daughter Sawyer

This is one of the best podcast episodes about going through a breakup. I am 60 years old, getting divorced, and learned so much from your articulate, honest and ADORABLE daughter Sawyer. I loved hearing that a lot of us want to spy, follow and know what our ex is doing, and how funny and ridiculous that is. And the 30-day no contact rule is a must. Though I have not done it yet! I still live in our marital home and now I think I also need to move to a new home/environment. Love to you and your family. More Sawyer please!!!
Trish LC

Episodes with your kids

I listen to your podcasts every week. My favorites have been the ones with your own children. They are so helpful and inspiring to me as I navigate life with my own three young adult children. Thank you Robbins family for sharing your experiences with us!

Life-Changing Non-Negotiable Weekly Listen

Mel Robbins podcast has absolutely changed my life. It is very much a part of my weekly content consumption. I’ve shared multiple episodes with my best friends and family members, old and young. This podcast is truly for everyone. Especially, folks looking for guidance during major life transitions. Some of my favorite topics and takeaways include Mel’s authentic reflections on depression, brain science, the positive affects of morning sunlight and so much more. I am constantly inspired by this show and eagerly anticipate new episodes on a regular basis! THANK YOU!

Need references when discussing science

Please have references to the science you and your guests discuss. And I don’t mean to their books. Too often they say things are proven with no references. For instance the recent episode with Gabor Mate. A few minutes into the show and he’s constantly saying things are proven.
Desert Rat 🖤

Bring back Gabor Maté!

So fascinating and a big fan of his work… would love a deeper dive
Not Dr. Becky

Book plug

I love listening to Mel’s podcasts. However, recently, I keep hearing her plug her book and it’s driving me crazy. It’s mentioned so much that at this point, the podcast feels like it’s a promotional ploy for a sale. I wish she wouldn’t mention it in every episode. Oy.
croofener

Ep 235 Dr. Gabor Mate

I have been reading Dr. Mare since early in our foster care journey. However the level of impact and self knowledge brought to this episode is so empowering! Thank you is not nearly enough, but thank you!
Jane ATX

Dr. Gabor Mate

I think this is the best podcast episode I’ve ever heard - definitely most important and revelant for me. Thank you Mel 😆
Carol Ann Lloyd

Thank you

Thank you for helping me feel seen, understood, and appreciated!! You are the best, Mel!❤️
kfents

Good but long.

Great content in her podcasts but she spends too much time repeating herself. What she can say in 3 minutes takes 15 minutes. Like how many times she reiterated how big her plane was to and from Indonesia. But like her- just need to be patient. 😊
ypsimamabaer

So much wisdom in each episode!

I routinely find myself forwarding individual episodes to four different people because each episode has different kernels of wisdom that are directly on point for someone I know and care about. This podcast has given me lots of ideas for activities and approaches to take as a leader at work and as a leader in my household.

Love it!

Found this podcast right when I needed it, thanks for always providing the most insightful advice and discussions Mel :)

Good content, lots of rambling

Love the content, love the discussions, but I feel like she says way too much to get to the point. She repeats herself over and over again, and it just feels like too much. What could probably be said in one paragraph is said in five pages.
Evie Webster

Good stuff

Love the inspo from Mel’s podcast!

Extremely Relatable & Authentic Content

I just started listening to the episode about how to manifest anything you want - I cannot thank you enough for creating this episode! Thank you both for being so vulnerable, emotionally open, and for sharing your personal story. This episode made me feel so seen and understood 🫶🏾
marty_m

I have been waiting for this episode!

I absolutely love Alua Arthur and have been shipping this interview for a while. Both of you have inspired me to take a look at becoming both a life coach and a death doula. I’m 58 and struggling to move into a chapter of my life where I feel like I belong. Thank you thank you thank you!
