In this episode, Ali & Jen chat about their reactions, takeaways, and feelings after diving into the Let Them theory by Mel Robbins and, naturally, spiral into some hilarious (and humbling) childhood stories where Ali very confidently tested her mom’s patience.
What starts as a conversation about emotional control, expectations, and letting people be who they are quickly turns into a reflection on how deeply a child can test their parent’s will to “Let Them”. From stress and people-pleasing to boundaries, communication, and emotional maturity, this episode unpacks how much energy we waste trying to manage things that were never ours to control in the first place.
They explore what it actually looks like to “let them” in real life. If you’ve ever tried to control the room, your parents, your kids, or literally everyone around you… yeah, us too.
