The Exact Words You Need to Hear Today If It Feels Like Nothing’s Working

The Mel Robbins Podcast

Thursday, 13 November 2025 - 1 hour 19 minutes

Some days, the world feels like too much. 

The news, the stress, the noise. 

You start to wonder if you’ll ever feel right again. 

Then, out of nowhere, something lands in your lap that reminds you of what really matters. 

That’s what today’s conversation delivers: the exact words you need to hear if you’re feeling stuck in that negative place. 

In this deeply personal and moving episode, Mel sits down with one of the most extraordinary thinkers and poets of our time: 

Mark Nepo, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awakening, which has changed millions of lives – including Mel’s and her husband Chris’. 

Mark’s words have a way of cutting straight to the heart, gently opening something inside you that’s been closed for too long. 

You’ll learn: 

-The two questions that instantly open the door to connection with others and yourself 

-What it really means to follow your heart and how to trust where it’s leading you 

-How to find purpose, peace, and meaning - right where you are 

-How having a daily ritual can ground you when life feels overwhelming 

This episode is not just an interview. It’s exactly the reset you need.
