She distinguishes between connection and commitment, explaining why a strong connection isn't enough for a healthy relationship. The episode covers recognizing one-sided dynamics, the futility of trying to persuade someone, and the importance of becoming a good partner oneself while communicating needs and paying attention to emotional cues.
Jillian Turecki and Mel Robbins discuss Mel's book, "The Let Them Theory."

The conversation explores why the urge to control others and feel out of control is exacerbated in today's stressed-out, technology-driven world. Mel shares how the theory has transformed her own relationships, marriage, and parenting by fostering acceptance, setting boundaries, and reclaiming personal power rather than seeking validation from others.
