Mel Robbins

I am so excited to meet you.

I loved your book so much.

I've given it to so many people.

And I was absolutely honored when you said yes and said that you would come on and talk about purpose and feeling lost and about...

your work and the themes in your work.

So thank you for being here.

Well, let's talk about that.

Let's talk about what is at the heart of what you're trying to do.

And if I really listen and take in everything that you will teach me today, how could my life change?

And what I love about that is that you're inviting us to consider that wherever it is that you are, even if you envision some possibility beyond where you may be, that there is a way to feel dignity.

There's a way to feel proud of who you are and what you're doing.

That there's beauty in the life that you're living right now, even though you may not

have a hope in your heart that things might change or move in a different direction, that learning how to reclaim that sense of self is really at the heart of your work.

What did growing up and feeling that shame that you feel when you're poor, when you're an outsider in a new country,

What did that teach you about how to live in a world that is constantly sending messages that we don't support you, we're against you, there's something wrong with you?

What did that teach you about life?

You're very clear.

Okay, thank you.

And I've had the experience, but only I'm the mother, with the kids standing next to me.

And I had the line rehearsed for when the credit card would not go through.
