Between The Lines – Episode: Let Them: Boundaries, Bold Claims & Being True to You
Ever wish you could care a little less about what others think? This week, Chelle and Leanne dive into Mel Robbins’ buzzy new book, “The Let Them Theory”—a guide that promises to free us from the weight of other people’s opinions (and maybe even our own inner critic).
But is it really that simple? Our hosts dig into the heart of the “Let Them” concept, exploring both its empowering message and the nuances that come with it—especially for women who are used to putting everyone else first.
In this episode:
  • What the “Let Them” theory is all about—and why it’s taking over Instagram
  • The good, the bold, and the controversial: from self-acceptance to plagiarism rumors
  • Cultural differences—does “letting them” look different in Australia vs. the US?
  • How to set boundaries without building walls (especially if you have a trauma history)
  • Real talk about self-help claims: can two words really change your life?
  • Chelle and Leanne’s personal stories of trying out the “Let Them” mindset in everyday life
  • Why the book might be extra helpful (or a little tricky) for women who carry the emotional load
A little food for thought:
Is “letting them” always the answer, or do some situations call for speaking up and staying connected? Chelle and Leanne don’t shy away from the tough questions—and they want to hear your take!
 
✨ Discussion prompt: When have you had to “let them”—and how did it feel? Share your story with us on Instagram!
