Customer Reviews
My favorite person ever
Mel Robbins is a gift to us all. She speaks truth and is so real that she really is like, all of our best friend. Her authenticity and dedication to be a light in the world continues to spark goodness everywhere. She is what we all needed and thank heaven she chose to step into her superpower. Her podcast and voice in the world are both unequivocally the best. 🖤
A lot of people are saying
I’m reading a lot of these reviews, and noticing a similarity to what I feel with this pod - “I love Mel, but…”. I like these podcasts. I download most of them. But sometimes Mel can be a bit polarizing and the experts she brings on definitely do not paint the entirety of the issues they discuss. In particular, a lot of the eating and body related ones are not for an audience other than Mel, or someone with a body similar to Mel and a body / food experience similar to Mel. It would be cool if she could try and feature a larger array of perspectives. That said, I like a lot of the mental health related ones.
Is it just me??
I absolutely love Mel and her podcasts. I have been listening/watching her for years now and I now have the podcasts to look forward to! The one thing I don’t like, however, are the podcasts with her family, especially her daughter Kendal. What a Brat!! She sounds like the most ungrateful, spoiled, entitled child, who is actually a grown woman. She’s very rude and just outright mean to Mel. It’s hard to hear Mel down talk herself to appease her family, like she’s the one person always in the wrong. Mel… you’re great and your family should be absolutely grateful for you and all of the amazing advice you do have and give. Keep rocking it!!
