Today, Mel tells her story – how she became the Mel Robbins – in a candid conversation about her life, family, parents, values, and what mad...

A few years ago, I was invited to speak at an event for the non-profit One Life Fully Lived . While I was there, I saw David Osborn speak for the first time, and I was captivated by his rare blend of authenticity, transparency, expertise, and contribution. He shared his story of transforming from a troubled youth into a self-made millionaire, showing us where every dollar came from as he amassed a fortune worth over $70 million. I'd met a few other millionaires, but none at that level - and few ...

From the moment I first heard Rob Actis' voice in an audition, I knew that he would be the voice of The Miracle Morning audiobook series.

Rob decided at the age of 4 that he wanted to speak to the world. 54 years later, he's a radio personality, commercial voice actor, and the leader of a new movement get...

In October of 2016, I woke up in the middle of the night, struggling to breathe. Days later, I was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia—a very rare and aggressive form of cancer—with a survival rate of 30%. I was told that I had a matter of days to start chemotherapy, or I would die. I took a somewhat unique approach to beating cancer that combined the best of Western medicine with holistic practices to detoxify my body as the chemo wreaked havoc upon it. Not only did I survive, but I exp...

After many years earning 22 times the national average income, Jayson Gaignard realized that he wasn't 22 times happier, so he decided to walk away. He felt stuck on the entrepreneurial hamster wheel, building a business he hated to buy things he didn't need, to impress people he didn't necessarily like. While he looked highly successful on the outside, he was completely bankrupt on the inside. Fast forward to today, and Jayson's life is virtually unrecognizable from what it was only a few short...
