I gave up on myself and it’s been real hard to mentally get out there again. After listening to the intro, I automatically put my sneakers on and went out walking, listening and laughing. I feel so alive!!!! Can’t wait to do it again tomorrow. Thank you so much to the both of you. ❤❤

How lucky is Chris having a wonderful wife and a fantastic mother in his life❤

I love your mother in law. I just lost my beautiful mom. She was 99 and 5 months old. I miss her desperately. I love your mother in laws attitude. She's so fun and light-hearted. But when she said she's cut back eating meat because of the animals, that was it. What a wonderful soul. Thank you for sharing her. She's made me smile and brightened my day.🤗 Love & light.🙏

I am 41 and started to feel like I failed at my life. Feeling like I am now too old to do embark on a new career I am passionate about, too old to get my health back on track, too old for anything new. Watching and listening to Judith has changed my outlook completely.....I now feel revived and ambitious.....hopeful that I can still change my life. Thank you Judith for sharing your life and wonderful advice. Happy Early Birthday :) Can't wait to hear how you celebrated.

I am a 60 year old grandma and as a very young girl my dad raised Dobermans, he had me exercise the dogs by walking them everyday after school….it was about an hour each day…well that started my walking habit and 50 plus years later I still walk over 3 miles a day rain or shine…usually I am listening to Mel!! God Bless You Ladies!! Loved every moment of this episode!!

I'M SO GLAD to see JJ again! PLEASE have her on monthly! It's so inspiring to see someone older than me (I'm 64) with such zest for life, great style, humor and humility. This babe has it all. I adore your relationship. Wow. I'm wanting to forward this to every friend my age who is griping about the "inevitably" of declining health and increasing loneliness.

I just got done listening to the episode with your mother-in-law. I will soon be 79 years old. I thought I was the only one who thought the way that she thinks! I am incredibly grateful, so grateful for my life for my friends and for each and every day. I felt as if part of the time I was talking! She is a most delightful person, and how gracious of you to invite her to. Your podcast. That says so very much about you. I have been recommending your podcast to all of my friends and my family.

This is a great Video. This brings back painful memories which i have been enduring. My relationship of 5 years ended 3 months ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.

Same thing happened to me. I'm 74 in June. She inspired me to make it a daily habit to walk everyday.

“Get yourself, out of yourself”. Simple and best advice I’ve heard in so long. 🙏🏼♥️🙌🏼 Introverts can relate to how powerful that advice is!

This is my favorite podcast of Mel's. So inspiring to listen to someone who has really lived life well.

This made my day! I’m 75 and I want to be her friend!

Take yourself out of yourself”. I need to remember this.

As a 27 year old, JJ brings meaning and excitement to life. She is the walking embodiment of every self-help book’s, research study’s and clinician’s advice. If this is what aging can be, I look forward to it.

You are both amazing women ❤ I so loved listening to this podcast. I just turned 73 and I’m a breast cancer survivor and I am so grateful 🥹 that I am able to get up to greet the day and to talk to my family and friends ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you so much ☺️

Only 43 but already preparing to become someone like her when i double my age. Or actually, the best older version of myself of course. I already lead a quite healthy life, no smoking or alcohol, drinking lots of water and green tea, no sugar, no fast or processed food, healthy Eastern European home made diet, under average work related stress so think i have great chances. I love walking and hiking, but could still do much better on the sports side.😊😅

I wish I could speak to her and tell her she didn't waste her youth having fun. That's what it's for. Had she done it any other way we may not be hearing from the wisdom gem she is today. I just love, love ,love hearing from our 55 and better community. I just see myself in them knowing one day soon I will be that age, God willing. Seeing women like her makes me excited for that stage of life. Thank you for sharing her with us.

Oh yeah ! cause mine is driving me nut 😅

This was a brilliant episode Mel. At the age of 60, my life and body are changing faster than I realised and that gives a lot of food for thought. My mother is 81, she’s in London and each time I visit, I see her aging because of the lack of exercise. I went back to the UK in November 2021 to be with her because she had a skin cancer where she was going to lose her eye, they saved it. Then when I was ready to come back to the US, she broke her ankle, so I stayed another month. I got to see how important it is to keep up your strength and what happens to your body when you don’t. Your mother in law is lovely. Love watching your episodes, thank you for all the motivation😊🌸

I stopped what I was doing, switched to my phone with earbuds and listened to the rest of this podcast while I walked. Judy is an inspiration! I think this was a life-changing podcast for a lot of people. Thank you so so much!❤️

OMG … no wonder why you love your mother in law!! She’s beautiful, fun and a hoot to boot!! Mrs Robbins you just inspired me to get off my ass and get back to walking and yoga. Thank you!! Like Mrs Robbins I too am the one standing in front of the fridge feeding my face. I’ve always been a graze!! It drove my mom nuts. She was a 3 square lady. Thank you for being so inspirational!! And thank you Mel for having your mother in law on!! LOVED IT!!!! 😍 Mel, you are the BEST!!!! I love you!! You have said and had people on that has pulled me out of some pretty rough times! Making me not only feel that TG I’m not the only one on this planet going through this shit but to make sense of things!! ❤️🥰💕💗❣️💓💐🥰❤️ TY TY TY!!

The two of you talking and laughing together is everything😍 What a blessing! You made my day🥰

I loved this episode! JJ has so many parallels with my grandma, who also moved to a city alone at 19 and became a widow when she was still quite young. She also knew how to make friends and walked every day way into her 90s. She lived to 97.

It was on one of my walks as I was listening to this podcast that I learned for the first time that ADHD can show up differently in women than men. That’s when for the first time ever things made sense and I seeked a doctor about this and got diagnosed right before I turned 40. And I owe you Mel so much for spreading an information that can be life changing foe people! Hearing about the “listen to something as you walk” part reminded me of this ☺️ ❤ love from Istanbul~

It’s not just about calling people…it’s also being the kind of person that other people look forward to connecting with. If JJ were calling me I’d totally be picking up the phone. She’s amazing!! ❤️

Thank you Judie and Mel! I watched the original interview some time ago and sent it to my mom. Judie, you are such a joy to listen to and learn from. I resonated with what you said about being focused on having a good time and not on studies in school. I’m more focus on growing and learning new things now. I think that’s the silver lining, maybe you didn’t focus during school days, but you are now a lifelong learner! I hope you come back for another interview soon!

Words of wisdom 💯 my grandmother who lived to be 86 told me that if she realized how long she'd live that she would have taken better care of her body... which is sad because that means that she had assumed she'd die sooner, and what's the point. 👉No matter how long you live, MAKE IT WORTH LIVING👈 is my mantra 🙌 #Basic2Badass #KuntKoalition #RiseAndGrind THANK YOU 🙏 @MelRobbins for sharing the gem that is your MIL with us 💜

Listening to this podcast reminded me of my Dad. He was the most social person I ever knew. He was the family communicator. Thank you for the beautiful memories you brought back for me. And thank you for the inspirational talk to help me with action. I have always told my family I will be dancing at my 100th birthday. I look forward to being healthy for the party.

I'm widowed and 75 and everything you both talked about is on point. Great show, Mel.

How wonderful is this? I’m 55 and I feel stronger and have more energy than ever, but to see JJ full of energy and enjoying life like she does really does make me hopeful I can age well. Thank you! So many valuable lessons here. I agree with the viewer here who’d like to see her on every month. I know I would. 😊❤ Love to you all.

Best and I really mean it, best podcast ever! My Mom would have been 86 as well. Lived with my family for the last 16 years of her life. Oh, I wish I had this wisdom when she first came to us after my Dad passed. I want to strive to be the best I can be at 86 too! Best each day, greatful.

She looks fabulous and its so good to see her taking such good care of herself and being vibrant. And OMG, the advice of reaching out and making plans- that makes so much sense. Time for me to reach out more.

Mel, OMG..... Your mother-in-law is amazing! I have never responded to one of your many videos I have seen but this one was above and beyond. I just lost my dad at 83 years old. My mother is 81 and not sure what to do with her life right now. I am sharing your video with her as we speak. You are amazing and keep doing what you do. Thanks for being a light in my life.

What a fabulous Lady. Now this is what I call motivation to move, to be thankful every single day, to enjoy smoothies, to connect with family/friends, to make new friends, to listen more and to have fun. We read and hear this all of the time and are aware of what we should be doing but Your Mother in Law is so full of great advice because she actually talks the talk and looks truly amazing and content with her life. Why wouldn’t we be motivated by this super lady. It’s certainly done the trick for me. 😊😊 Thank you so much to both of you.

87 yr old and going strong. What abeautiful woman and interview. Mel, you are lucky to have her and she is lucky to have you. She definetly is an inspiration. Have a wonderful summer.

Thank you to 2 amazing souls for this inspiring podcast and special thanks to JJ. I am 74 and walk every day, do yoga , lots of travel around the world, volunteering and working with children in Orphanages in India, reading a lot , watching inspiring documentaries, spending lots of time with family and few good friends, doing regular meditation is my favourite, having a coffee in cafe and watching people passing by, appreciating nature, and most of all feeling Gratitude to be alive every morning.

Your Mother-in-law is such a beautiful soul I love her❤ I understand her in many ways and at age 79 I just left the US and moved to the Dominican Republic. It a whole new learning experience for me and my little dog. It’s only been 2 mos but we are getting envolved and loving it!! The weather is UNBELIEVABLE so clean and fresh 😊

Judy you are such an inspiration for living a full, happy life. I definitely needed to hear this today, not only to improve my life but to pass on your ideas to my 96 year old mom. My mom just moved from her home of 55 years to an adult family home. Needless to say, she is having a very difficult time and does not want to leave her bedroom. I shared with her today your wonderful podcast with Mel. I told her you said the most important thing to live a happy life is to be social, reach out and connect with other people. After a little encouragement and hearing this is message, she has decided to step out of her comfort zone and join the other 5 residents to eat her dinner. Hopefully after tonight, she will feel more at ease with new friends. Thank you!

The best interview/ podcast EVER! Judy is such an inspiration to all of us, of all ages! And she truly listens to the questions and ponders… and she seems to be enjoying that! Sometimes we can see the spontaneous joy in her eyes when she shares simple things such as her habits. And you can also see the depth in her thoughts when she pondera about some past moments… such a genuine person. Thank you, Mel!

I am 40...And really confused and feeling lost because of family situations...but what I want is I just want to live my life like you MIL...if I live that long..lots of love to both of you and your bond... touchwood.

Beautiful message ❣️ Thank you Judy from a "sister young at heart " 79 yrs & counting! 😅 Still working as a Community Outreach nurse helping seniors, low income & homeless connect to resources in our city's community. Active in my faith community serving the grieving infividuals who have lost loved ones. Life is beautiful while being able to speak Hope into someone's life while providing tangibles such a gift & privilege I've been given. 🙌✝️ Extra Special podcast today. Thanks ,Mel 💕

I just listened to this podcast with your mother-in-law. I loved it. I'm not 86, but I'm over 60 now and I just made a move recently across country for no good reason. Except that now my new montray is, I'm not dead yet. I even got a personalized plate that says I'm not dead yethough. Other people don't understand you know, making the move. They questioned it but I never did and she validated me this morning. So glad you put the podcast out. There's still some things I can do to improve my life and make it happier but. I'm pretty darn, happy and happier than I've been my whole life. Just making decisions to stay in life and active and social. I must say, though I still carry a little resentment when people don't return my calls. And stuff like that. So I'm gonna try to work on that and let that go so anyway. Thanks so much to you and Judy for sharing this intimate story. I love it and i'm gonna keep listening

Wow... you are amazing, JJ. I am 63, and my Mom is 86. My Mom can barely walk, and uses a walker. You have inspired me to start walker.

Oh Dear God Mel ! I was meant to tune in tonight to hear this podcast with you UNBELIEVABLE ‘Mother in Law ‘ !!! How wonderful is she ! I’m 75 and needed to hear this tonight to kick my Ass into action . I had so much in common with her and she made so much sense of relevant issues . I’m so grateful for getting her on . Can’t wait till next time ! And more of her humour and WISDOM ! You’re so lucky to have her as ‘role model’ oh yes . Margaret B 🥰🥰🥰

Loved “Take yourself, out of your self”. Due to health problems I have isolated my self. This program made me aware of this. Thanks!

This is great! I’m 65 and share so many of her daily habits and her attitude and gratitude for life. One thing I would add is that if you have an elderly parent get them to journal about their life. I got my Dad to write his life story before he died. I then made it into a photo book and gifted one to my sister and all the grandchildren. It’s a precious keepsake. I wish I’d asked my Mum to do the same.

Thank you Mel. Your mom in law is a gift to all of us. I need this at the moment feeling demoralized as the workforce in SA are not keen on employing people over 50. I believe I fell into a slump of anxiety and depression as I had vested so much of my sense of self in my work. I became reclusive and embarrassed. Keep making these videos, they inspire us.

Thank you Mel. Thank you Judy. I’ plan to listen to this over and over. Judy is the epitome of who I always wanted to be when I got older. And here I am. And I’m not! I’m lonely and depressed and have everything I need at my fingertips to overcome. I’ve lost my desire. Judy makes me want to get it back. Such good guidance in this session. God bless you both.

I just turned 60! Thank you JJ & Mel for this episode!!!

Your mother in law is such a great human being and inspiration to many of us.❤❤

This is the most delightful and calming podcast that I’ve heard in a while. My new fav person is your Mother in law- she is literally the best. And she has the most wonderful laugh- it’s from the heart. Made me smile every time she laughed

This is your best episode ever! ❤ I’m 57 with a chronic illness and your beautiful MIL Judy has inspired me to make some decisions about my life. Thank you 🙏

Just great; what a wonderful inspiring woman! I am 67, also have a protein shake everyday, average 4 miles a day for the last 2 years. But wow; I am going to follow her advice and cultivate more activities that could lead to new friendships.I needed to hear that loneliness doesnt have to the only thing for older people -yeah hope!! Having no living older relatives; this was kind of like having a chat with my mom about what was up next for me. Sending a hug to you both.

I do love this podcast. I listened to this on Audible and then watched on KZread. This has got to be one of my favorites. Thank You Judie! Thank you for sharing and helping us live a richer life. This will definitely have a major impact on my future self. Julie Olmstead (56 yrs young).

Your accent reminds me of a group of people who hurt me a lot back in Dec. 2020. Fighting my feelings, I am thankful to your podcasts Mel which help me to survive the social desert I live in. Bless you and Thanks.

Judy I love your positive attitude and sense of humor about yourself and life. That is the foundation and motivation of your healthy lifestyle, in my opinion, plus the guilt you have if you don't stick to your exercise routine. I love listening to you both! Thank you Mel for bringing Judy on again!

This rejuvenated my mind! I’m your age Mel, a wife and mom and your mother in law really made me think about what is important and to live my life to the fullest each day! Thank you for all your podcasts..favorites are “Let Them”, the “Five Second Rule” and this especially. Thank you for all you do ❤️.

Great advice and words of wisdom. I don’t want to take people or my life for granted anymore. Thank you ❤

This has been my FAVORITE episode yet, and I have listened and followed Mel for years. I have sent this to my own mom, and I am not sure that she will listen, but I hope she will. This episode inspires me so much to live my best life, and I LOVE JUDY! I think she is my spirit animal. lol I couldn't love this episode more. Thank you, Mel and Judy!!

I grabbed my daughter who’s home from college and we went for an amazing walk! Thank You, Mel and JJ!!

This is the most beautiful episode I've ever seen. Thank you so much Mel for bringing us your mother in law. Simple, and full of wisdom.

Walking creates more energy, …she is absolutely right. Somehow I seem to have forgotten about aspects of exercising, lately I’ve been thinking it will drain me…as she said. And lately I’ve been thinking that relaxing at home is better than exercising, (living a good life) but it’s not, it’s more depressing because you are not being active, not in the exercise sense, but more in the participating in a productive activity, it gives your life a sense of meaning/goodness/value mentally.

I LOVE this episode! As I'm in my mid-fifties, one of my own crusades is letting people (especially women) know that age is a number and the "aging experience" is OUR choice. I have a number of friends who are older in age than me, and yet have the same exact philosophy and joie de vivre! Judy reminds me of one of my FAVORITE people in the whole world; she just turned 84 and travels everywhere, has purpose, and nothing gets her down. She's one of my favorite people to travel with; 5 years ago, we went to Sedona, AZ together and hiked in the canyons together. Her latest birthday party had a dragon theme, we did temporary dragon tattoos, and she had a fire dancer perform, too... I laugh to say I'd probably rather go to her birthday party than the birthday party of people much, much younger... so much fun! She's another incredible person in her 80's, and I can't even list all the things she does or has done... just since she was ini her 50's! If you want someone else as a guest like this, I can definitely provide her info! "I've always been pushing myself into something that's a little scary.... just a little push." I agree, 100%, regardless of age!

I so admire all of this for sure. I stopped working suddenly when Dr. closed practice not prepared for sure, married no children however but my dogs are very comforting to me., surprised a pet was never a option mentioned. Foster a pet can also help feel connected if not as social as Mel's Mother in law. I like being around like minded people that is the challenge to find after stop working. Would love more segments to help others with no children and family not close by. Also staying healthy is a crucial aspect for sure . Pets help me be present and feel purpose for sure. So much displaced animals out there.

I am 57 and this message is so inspiring for me. Thank you.🙏

I loved Judy❤ She reminded me of my dear Mother who passed at 91. She loved life, had dear friends, did meaningful volunteering work, loved a good time🎉and a glass of wine🍷 Cheers from Australia.
