When my kids were young and I was first divorced, I used to feel so sad being alone! Then I learned how to take myself on "dates". I learned HOW to enjoy spending time with myself. And I really like spending time alone with myself now. ❤

Dear Mel, people who cut ties with family are struggling with lots of doubt, pain, guilt, loneliness and invalidation. Their position in family is such that family IS the most terrible waste of their life, time, love, effort and potential. I think it would be important to validate them more. 🙏 Family ties are powerful both in best and worse ways.

Totally agree. I spent 30 years trying to keep contact with my family, but they put me down every time. My only option to ”survive” myself was to end the contact with them totally. So family is sometimes the ones you should avoid. I only regret that I spent so many years trying, so many wasted years. all I ever wanted was to ”have that happy family, meanwhile, I was the one suffering to the point that I gave up my own life.

Switch "friendships" to "romantic relationships". If you wouldn't tolerate it from a significant other, don't tolerate it from friends. Nobody is that busy, nobody is so obtuse that they don't know how much they're putting in you, etc. If you love yourself enough, you won't accept nonsense.

I have ZERO desire to see more of my brother. That would simply mean hearing about how great he is. And then hearing about how great he is again. And then hearing more from him. And about how great his family are. And more of his opinions. My only permitted role in all that (unless I want to attract his sarcasm and silent contempt) would be ‘silent observer’ and ‘being supportive’. No room for the thoughts of a younger sister in his life. So no thanks.. much happier without that!

I need this video today! Definitely been thinking about how I’m wasting good time. I’m single, kids are 22 and 33 and since the pandemic, I don’t enjoy the things I use to.

My high school friends and I started to struggle with not seeing each other when we were getting married. From there we planned dinners out every 3rd Friday of the month. Everyone took a month and picked a restaurant. Whomever could make it did, some regularly and some sporadically but just planning the dinners even kept us in touch. This was back in the day when we had to pick up the phone and call. Fast forward 30 yrs later. We still have our monthly dinners. Back at 35 we started a girls trip every 5 yrs. We are 55 now and going strong all 16 of us, clicks within a click, some closer than others but we are all still here and still together.

If you're literally clinically depressed, see a psychiatrist, not Mel Robbins. Otherwise, her entire existing body of work is to get you out of a rut.

My husband and I are in our early seventies. We have always built our life around our families. He worked with his Dad (construction) in the family business and I worked with one of my brothers (CPAs in our own practice). We spent so much time with our parents and siblings. We never stopped by his parents home and said, "hey, would y'all like to go get something to eat?" that they didn't respond positively. They all passed in their nineties and we miss their presence so much. We have no regrets about spending so much time with all of them. We do the same with our dogs... as they are a part of our family as well. My two Aussies go to work with me every day and my clients love it. I will never regret spending every day with them either. Last July, one of them (Rusty) was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. He lived six weeks (he was only eight and had never been sick at all). It was devastating and trust me I cherish every moment spent with him and now with his "brother" Spencer. Thank you for bringing out how important planning to spend time with those we love is and how we won't regret it... ever! Love you Mel!

I'm 42 and my children are 14 and 8 years old. I'll be 52 when my youngest launches. I'm glad that my career path has allowed me to be more present in their lives these past 8 years. I cherish those moments even more because of these stats. Thank you for highlighting it.

I love you but what about people that don't have friends to make them laugh, or have hardly any family, like it's me and my dogs most time, but I'm not lonely or anything, I just want better my health and my life

Great reminder. Thanks for talking about this. We are all getting older too quickly. Took a break from work today, To focus more on my son, even though he's 16. Picked him up from school playing his favorite music on the radio. Made him his type of yummy lunch and had a great conversation. His smile to me said it all. 👍

We moved across country, 7-1/2 years ago to be closer to my daughter and grandchildren, my other daughter moved here a year later and now we all live within 30 minutes to an hour from each other. It is important to be a part of each other's lives. And I have a lot of friends that have done this as well.

I shared this way before she suggested I share it. This was so healthy for me to hear. I had kids late so my kids are just now the nest. And I can't imagine it. As for coworkers and friends, this helped me see I'm normal. I needed this today!!

In my 6th decade of life I’ve come to the realization that with “things” that we need/buy makes me think that they are probably the last 1 of them (i.e. a matress; car; new roof, etc) that we will be replacing!

Thank you so much for this conversation Mel! My daughter is 17 and a senior and I find myself breaking down crying at the drop of a hat the past year (in private of course). This is exactly what I needed to hear to get through this without looking like psycho mom to my daughter😂 we are inseparable and I know that’s not going to change but it will just be close in a different way❤❤❤ anyone else going through this as well?

Thank you for this. Up 7ntil retirement, i spent my life caring for others and putting them first. I am now finally at age 66, scheduling my priorities daily. Spirit (daily bible reading), body (exercise) and mind (reading, learning something new). I feel balanced doing this and weave in time with my husband, family, friends and volunteering at my church.

I sent this to 6 family members and we are planning a family trip!!! Thank you Mel💖

I'm just listening to this today after learning I need to make a major career change. It's just what I needed!!! This change would allow me more time/freedom to spend with my 85 year old mother, my new grandson and all the other people in my life I want to spend time with.

Saw some graphs the other day about these statistics and loved to hear about these in more detail. It is so true, time is precious and we should seize it more with the people we love. Not only that, but it is proven that cultivating meaningful relationships during the course of our life, allows us to live happier and even longer.

Since small I have grown up in abusive parents since small,until age 21 I realize how toxic they are ( they talk so badly about me Infront of other family members,humiliate me, beat me for no reason,I have to beg for them to buy even basic things) now I amm 21 still staying with them waiting for another two years to get out from house but they told me I have to be they servant for the rest of lives because they gave birth to me just because they born me up ,my mom always travel and leave me I used to live with my cousins such a narcissist parents, because of them I used to get bully at school because of my appearance then I have like almost zero friends at high school too,I have a lot of unheal trauma thatt I am trying to heal...I now happier and stronger thatt I have gone through all this ,and in near future I will embrace more people

Great podcast. Great topic. First time I've listened to you and you gained a new subscriber. As for work, that hit home. I strongly dislike and do not respect my 2nd line supervisor and don't trust my 1st line. I've caught them in lies. They turned some of my team against me. It's toxic and not worth mee damaging my mental health. I've applied for two new jobs. Fingers crossed things work out. I prefer not spending my time in an environment with folks I don't care for. Friends- as time went on I got injured and had surgery. One close friend totally was not there for me. I've moved on. When I can be there for friends and when I need them and they are not there, they're not truly friends and I don't need them in my life.

Hearing about the timeline thing did help but it is so unique to the individual I got married when I was 21 and moved away from my family and friends to be with my husband and I'm now been divorced and living on my own. The value of connections with those we love is immeasurable, And I have known this for years.❤

Thankyou Mel I really needed to hear this!! My kids, my mom and dad are gone. I spend most days home alone but I never feel alone. I feel content with myself. My kids get in touch now and then. It's ok they were a gift. I raised then independents. They don't have time for me and I am good with their gone. I do volunteer work. My kids don't complete me and it's good. I too apologize all the time with my know it all kids. I am a writer and cherish alone time.

I happily left the career to raise my kids. They have all launched. I was not seen, safe nor supported in my childhood. Hard as I tried to be the generation that changed that through what I thought was doing, safety support and mentoring my Ds walked away and never looked back once their college was paid for by us. Son is building his life and has chosen an exciting but challenging road. We are not a priority. Estrangement is so hard. Please do an episode on the parents who have been estranged and how we move forward. You did one on estrangement and why but I didn’t feel there were tools for the estranged. It is an epidemic and largely we are not monsters. The happy take away is “going to the college dorm for old people”. I’m 66 and my life has been challenging Thank you for what you do, Mel. I love growing with you.

This is one of my favorites Mel, because it's important self reflection as I'm over the 50 hump. I need to reevaluate what's important and who I want in my life. I think the pandemic made it hard for everyone, and it changed soo many dynamics, especially the way we communicate. It's hard, and it's definitely a process I need to be reminded of, and I'll definitely use the 2 Ps. Thanks, Mel. You always give such good food for thought. ❤

After my husband died is when I stop seeing friends and family. When I needed them most. I wouldn’t get invited to parties, bbqs, even holiday gatherings. Sad but I accepted it and removed all of them from life trust circle.

Hello Mel. Thank you for your amazing videos! You help me a lot! I don’t know if you can honor my request but I always have the desire to write and publish two books but I don’t know where to start. I’m am about to turn 56 years young but broke, before listening to your podcast I felt hopeless, your story resonates with me almost entirely. If it’s possible to guide us on how to write and publish a book that it will be a great help probably for a ton of hopeless people! Thank you and many blessings to you and your family. I love you sister❤❤

Thank you Mel. I agree. Family has ALWAYS been the most important thing to me. I know this. I am grateful for everything in my life, friends, especially. It’s important to prioritize and make them be a part of our lives to the degree in which we can; after all, they are 50% of the equation.

Such a moving episode. I think about these things alot, and I have been even more intentional about creating more time with people I love and less time and energy with things and people I have less affinity for.

This is great to reflect on these good words. My siblings minus one don't want me in their lives. I feel somewhat sad that I can't be close to remaining aunts & uncles & siblings. But I just cannot tolerate dysfunction, disrespect & all kinds of toxicity from these people even I do care about them. Had too much of a large dose of these things to last me a lifetime.

OMG! You're the best! Thank you so much, Mel. This is changing my life right now! God bless you for being a such blessing to all of us! ❤

Thank you for this Mel, needed to hear the message. Will henceforth make the effort to leave the office by 6.

I come at this from such a unique angle- I lost my youngest child in a car wreck when she was a senior in college, age 22. Happened in '22. So much of my grief stems from the things I'll miss out on. This was a good eye opener to see things differently. I hadn't quite gotten the grip on parenting adult children and I was struggling with my baby being the last to leave the nest but also cause she hadn't quite found me as a friend just yet. She was starting too and then it happened. My husband and our 2 other kids are crushed beyond belief. I found you because I am not the same person I was before - I never will be again - and I need guidance. Thank u.

They have children , and this will be an eye opener. Also for the time they don’t spend with each other.

Everytime I'm thinking about something you come on here with the answers...wow

Mel, your podcast is so valuable to me. This one inspired me to try get my siblings together for my Mom’s 5th birthday in Heaven. Our relationship suffered during my mothers long illness, we hardly see each other now and their children. Thankyou for inspiring me to make some changes within my relationships ❤

Thank you this is really helpful and eyes open

Mel !!!!!!!!!!!! Exceptional video! Beautiful!

I love you Mel and this Podcast

I just said Goodbye to my Mum a few days ago. There are feelings of not being with her enough but the overwhelming feeling was of grief, but also the realisation how much my mum loved me and how much in all she did was to protect "me". I feel that and now I understand as I look through my many memories of her and why she did the things she did. That's the takeaway - look deeply into what your mum or your dad, do. See in that the absolute love for "you". Spend quality time with them. They go and you are left and so are your memories. Make the memories matter ❤

Thank you, Mel.
