Mel your podcast is a breath of fresh air. Inspirational, inspiring and educational. I wish I had a friend like you. Your podcast makes me feel good. Thank you for being you.

I just started listening to Mel on YouTube. I in my 60’s and have never written to or about a celebrity but her words felt like were aimed just at me. I recently had some difficulties with a couple of friends who didn’t show up for me when I needed them most. I was devastated. Listening to Mel on why people treat you the way they do altered my whole perspective. I’m forever changed and grateful. It shows how you never to old to learn new ways of looking at things. I never had the urge to meet a famous person but wish I could thank her personally.

Such a good uplifting podcast. I gives me such a positive outlook on life. Keep up the great content especially for young women

Personally not a fan of people who steal other people’s ideas, play them off as their own and build their entire career off of that lie.

I so loved the episode with Jay Shetty on Finding Purpose (April 2025)! It truly resonated. Thank you.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, possibly since it launched, read all the books and I just love how authentic Mel is with her audience! I don’t know how listening to a podcast makes you feel valued as a person, but the Mel Robbins podcast does. It also gives you those tools to help you be a more authentic better you! Thanks Mel!

I love your podcast and your latest book! Your episodes are always so informative and inspiring. As a mom of two young men with autism living in Costa Rica, I would be so grateful if you could dedicate an episode to autism, or even interview someone with expertise in this area. Your perspective and the way you break things down would be so impactful for families like mine and so many others.

Thank you, Mel, for helping me to understand the let them theory . At first I related it to politics and thought, ‘oh that’s terrible. Let them do all these bad things to our country ‘ but now I’m understanding and I agree that this would be the more sane path.

Mel, if you didn’t try a little witch solution following your Mohs procedure, here’s one to try. 2 tablespoons white vinegar distilled and 2 cups hot water. Soak a cloth in it apply to the wound for 15 minutes. Do this twice a day once in the morning and once in the evening. And then of course always keep Vaseline or Aquaphor on the wound and until it’s heals. I had a patch of Squamish cell removed from under my eye. My surgeon prescribed this solution. Can’t even tell there’s a scar.

I love so many things about this podcast including subject matter, guests, methods for self betterment. I appreciate how open and honest Mel is about herself. However, Mel seems to think her listeners are too simple minded to understand what the guests are saying. It’s hard for her guests to even finish a thought. She constantly interrupts to sum up exactly what the guest just barely said. A good host provides great questions and prompts, but allows the professionals on the subject to do most of the talking.

Love this podcast, I have learned so much. This episode reminded me of why I started listening. Love just listening to Mel and not always an “expert “

Mel makes me feel seen. She is funny, relatable and always has fabulous content. I have been listening to her for years, read her books, and I feel bad I did not write a review years ago. All this content is free and I am so thankful to her and her team for producing it each week. Mel is my favorite podcast and the only one I have consistently listens to for year. Highly recommend.

Loved today episode I will attempt to try my first baking recipe this week 😊🙏🏽

This episode is absolutely right on! Thank you for bringing Dr Jay to us. So insightful and enlightening.

I loved listening to this podcast for years until a guest said some very untrue and hurtful things about my religion. I was so saddened by that & have tried to keep listening anyway but it’s just not the same anymore. Wish we could cultivate more peace & love in our country!

Mel is a perfect balance between passion and the latest nerdy science of whatever the focus is. Almost every podcast has an actionable invitation and many have helped me. Thank you, “my friend,” Mel!

I enjoy the topics and the guests, and I love the content of what they are sharing. I say this in kindness, but if Mel could stop interrupting the guest so frequently and not letting them speak or finish their thought, this podcast would be significantly better.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Every episode I listen to, I learn something new and how to help myself and the people I love. You are amazing!

Mel you have changed my life and I’ve made so many positive changes within myself just off your podcast alone. Thank you for using your voice to be a service to others !!

I love the guests you’ve shared with us & what they have to offer!

Reading all these negative reviews are just sad. Everyone has an opinion and if you don’t like something move on to the next podcast. I have been listening to this podcast all this year or 2025 and it has helped me in so many ways. If you have nothing nice to say they don’t say anything. Internet thugs are the biggest problem with social media. Thank you Mel for all you do!!! You are very much appreciated.

Life is busy and dedicating over an hour to get through the episode is impossible. I have to stretch them out over a few days, even speeding up to 1.25-1.5. Shaving your episodes to 30 minutes (like many successful peer-podcasts) would be incredible and digestible — and entirely possible with less hyperbole, prelude, and repetition (we don’t need you to repeat multiple times what your thought leader-expert states) and oh boy, the interruptions. ……!

This podcast helped me through a hard time

I’m reading a lot of these reviews, and noticing a similarity to what I feel with this pod - “I love Mel, but…”. I like these podcasts. I download most of them. But sometimes Mel can be a bit polarizing and the experts she brings on definitely do not paint the entirety of the issues they discuss. In particular, a lot of the eating and body related ones are not for an audience other than Mel, or someone with a body similar to Mel and a body / food experience similar to Mel. It would be cool if she could try and feature a larger array of perspectives. That said, I like a lot of the mental health related ones. The other issue is her new obsession with telling us to “share the episode”. It feels super manipulative, since she literally knows shares have grown her show it feels like she’s doubling down on “forcing us to share”. Mel, I will share your episode if I want to and I know how. Please try to just tell us once. 3-4 times is getting weird and manipulative

Most of the interviews are all hype and fluff. I wish it were more condensed and to the point instead of so much marketing. I find myself constantly skipping waiting for actual info.

The Ads!!!!! Too many. Mel I believe has ADHD (from one of her podcast) and some people are very detail so I understand the length of the intro is and I am good with it. So to me, Mel seems to really care and wants to be sure she has the background on the subject. Mel has some good guests who have their own educational background in most cases. She brings a lot of good topics to the table. I appreciate Mel and I enjoy following her podcasts.

Really wanted to like this podcast but the host is too repetitive, she takes forever getting to the point and introducing the guest and even spoils what her guest speaker is going to say before introducing them. I think she treats her audience like they are dumb and has to rephrase everything the guest speaker says. Every episode is so dragged out even though it could have been a great shorter episode, I get the feeling this hosts likes to listen to themselves talk a lot

As a therapist, I hear Mel’s theories and statements in sessions. Mel’s advice and words are not trauma informed and often leave victims feeling more powerless and shameful. The Let Them plot is not only not her original idea, but it’s extremely harmful at times.

I mean, This is easily 5 stars but it is way too long for my screen time limit… 6 minutes and not even the conversation? Crazy. Also I like it but… She interrupts, She isn’t a therapist but she knows a lot! I am asking for a let them theroy podcast which reads the book and still be able to be free.

Had me til you had a cult leader on the podcast…. Have you not watched the doc on Hillsong?

I tried. Love the subjects and the guests but the constant interrupting makes my brain hurt. I try to focus on the guest and Mel suddenly interjects her opinion/experience mid-sentence of the speaker. Awful. Gave me anxiety. Bye paid subscription.

I really wanted to like this podcast and have tried listening off and on but Mel Robbins is truly insufferable. I’ve noticed on all the shows I’ve listened to, she’s always interrupting her guest speakers! Not only that, she’s incredibly dumb given how much of basics she doesn’t know. Like not knowing the mind controls all and she’s having this big girl moment of just NOW realizing when she “wiggles her toes, it’s actually her mind sending a signal.” Sheesh. I’m out. I can get the content and guest speaker elsewhere.

Love Mel and her teachings but intros and ads are too long! I’m at 6:45 minutes and the she’s still doing the intro…

Stole the idea for the Let Them Theory and refuses to admit it. A charlatan and grifter.

Mel Robbins is not a therapist nor has a PhD, but she interjects her opinion or stories entirely too much to the point that she interrupts her EXPERT guest incessantly! I listen to podcasts either for the host’s expertise, if they are an expert in their field (Mel is a lawyer, so she’s not an expert in self help) or for the guests. However, I can never fully understand Mel’s guests due to her interruptions and rephrasing. She turns expert information sharing into pseudoscience. Additionally, the number of times she tells her audience to share with someone we know is maddening. I can’t listen anymore. I’ll find these experts elsewhere.

helped me through a hard time. great podcast

Thank you, Mel, for an outstanding podcast and book. I often times find your podcast more helpful than my therapist so please keep the topics coming.

She interrupts her guests too much - talking about herself. I wanted to like her but there are better podcasts.

Great

Please let your guest speakers finish their sentences before you cut them off. It’s rude and interrupting.

Love Mel, but it’s getting difficult to continue to listen. She cuts off her guests so much! She talks over them almost every other sentence. I was really trying to listen to Dr. Leaf but goodness the poor lady couldn’t finish a thought! Mel interrupted her constantly, I had to turn it off.

I like this podcast but Mel interrupts every guest when they’re in the middle of a really interesting sentence to talk about her life experience. I’m listening to the Dr Leaf episode and she’s trying to explain things and keeps getting interrupted. I get it’s a podcast but sometimes you have to learn to let people talk.

Love the topics and experts in this podcast. I have great respect for Mel. I do wish Mel would not interrupt the speakers so often when they are in the midst of explaining the topic.

I was excited to listen to this new episode 218. The information was good but I had to stop listening because Mel kept interrupting and “dumbing down” what Dr. Suzuki was saying. Not all of us need that and would like to hear it straight from the source. If you go to chat for and ask to summarize the book, it will break down the 5 steps without listening to this episode.

Mel, while I love your podcasts and the guests you have on, I have a hard time with frequent interruptions when the guests are speaking. I know you like to rephrase for those of us who may have a difficult time understanding or wondering if it applies to us. However, I believe most of your listeners are intelligent. When I’m listening to the guest speak, I would like to hear more of what they have to say without interruptions. An occasional rephrasing would be fine and often necessary, but I think it’s a bit too much at times That being said, I bought your book and love it! Thank you for what you do

I’ve listened to the Mel Robbin’s podcast for 2 years. Use to love it. Never missed an episode. The last idk 6 months with this new format… idk it feels too polished. It feels less like listening and being involved with friends having a conversation. Now it feels like a overly curated interview. It doesn’t feel friendly anymore. But stuffy. And then Mel is now referrancing to a book page and crying (emotion is fine) but like every podcast? It feels not the same and I miss the old friendly less uptight format.

Love your show! This last episode 306 was tough to listen to as the guest was interrupted so much. You knew too much about the content and jumped in a lot. No need to prove your knowledge as hearing another’s ideas is so helpful to us.

I enjoy most of the topics, they are life changing. The host just keeps interrupting the speakers, and talks about herself. It would be nice to have more active listening.

I really enjoy the topics and insights Mel shares on the podcast. However, one thing that consistently turns me off is how often she interrupts her guests. For example, I was listening to the episode with Dr. Caroline Leaf, and while I appreciate Mel’s effort to make the content relatable by breaking things down, I felt like Dr. Leaf was never given enough space to fully explain her thoughts before being cut off. I was especially interested in the practical steps Dr. Leaf was trying to share about how our brains work and how we can take control of our thinking. But Mel’s constant interruptions made it difficult to follow the conversation, and honestly, it became so frustrating that I decided to stop listening to the podcast altogether and search for Dr. Leaf on YouTube instead. I’m not sure if this review will ever reach Mel, but if it does, I’d encourage her to go back and re-listen to the episode—this time from the perspective of a listener. Sit in our seat and hear how it feels to want deep insight but get sidetracked by repeated interruptions. I say this with love because many of us tune in each week looking for real wisdom and practical tools from the guests she features. All the best.

i really really LOVE this show but mel really needs to work on not interrupting and cutting off her guests. it’s extremely frustrating when someone is in the middle of a thought and she derails it.
