71: "Let Them" Theory with Coach Polly

Come along with Coach Polly this week as she unpacks the popular Mel Robbins "Let Them" Theory! It is a reality check we all need to get- that the moment you stop trying to control other people, that is when you truly regain your personal power. This episode dives deep into Mel's latest book on the "Let Them Theory" - a revolutionary framework for releasing the exhausting grip of control and finding the peace in surrender.

As a self-described "recovering perfectionist with a 20-year long addiction" to control, Coach Polly shares how this concept has transformed her relationships, particularly with her mother. The "Let Them" Theory isn't about indifference - it's about respecting others' autonomy while reclaiming responsibility for our own happiness. When we try to micromanage others, we create friction, anxiety, and disappointment for everyone involved.

Through practical examples and powerful mindset shifts, you'll discover how to pair "let them" with "let me" - allowing others their journey while focusing your energy where it truly matters. Stop wasting precious energy on the uncontrollable, and instead channel it toward what you can influence. Learn to recognize when disappointment signals unmet expectations rather than actual problems.

This episode offers a masterclass in boundary-setting, authentic self-expression, and finding freedom from others' opinions. The surprising truth? When you stop trying to fix everyone else, you create space for genuine connection and personal growth. The wisdom of the Serenity Prayer comes alive in this practical approach to everyday relationships.

Ready to transform your relationship with control? Listen now to discover how surrender might be your most empowering move yet. Your feelings matter more than appearances, and today is your opportunity to find your awesome.
