What is the premise of 'Let Them Off'?
This is a Global Player original podcast.
Welcome to My Therapist Ghosted Me with me, Joanne McNally, and... Me, Vogue Williams. Vogue Williams. And Jo Attiwell. Can I talk about Mel Robbins for a second? Yes.
Mel Robbins, which one's that now? Because I know that other fellow. What's his name? You know him. I always try and bring him up when you bring up Mel Robbins and I never know what his name is. Robert Greene. No. And he goes, oh, she's an author.
Who is Mel Robbins and what is her theory?
Mel Robbins, podcast host, former lawyer. She is known for her TED talk, How to Stop Screwing Yourself Over and her book, The Let Them Theory. Okay. So she's kind of like a, I would say self-help-y territory. Mm-hmm. But she's having a real moment at the moment. And I think she's great. I really like her podcast and stuff. But she has this, what she's calling a theory, right? And it's called the let them theory. And it's kind of doing the rounds at the moment. And everyone's kind of engaging this Mel Robbins theory called let them. So if someone wants to break up with you, let them. If someone wants to not invite you to a party, let them. If someone wants to fuck you over, let them. Yeah, exactly. And thank them. Send a thank you card for not interfering with your life.
Let them. It's basically fuck them.
It's fuck them.
I know it's fuck them. But it's also like it's one of the hardest things to do as well. Like if someone breaks up with you and you're like, OK, fine.
fuck Spencer breaks up with me tomorrow okay fine I'll let you I'll let you and I'll do nothing about it yeah right I'll be ringing you non-stop you just have to kind of suck some shit up but like we were growing up we all had this saying that we used to say to each other going let them off so let them off let them off let them off like if someone if you brought a complaint to one of your friends this person screwed me over and they've said this mean thing or they've done this mean thing we'd be like do you know what let them off
What does 'Let Them Off' mean in relationships?
And it kind of releases it from you. I just thought it was very strange the way people are kind of acting like Mel Robbins has coined this let them off thing.
Why don't you bring back, what was that? Sorry, you just said it now. Let them off. Let them off. She can have let them. Joanne McNally's new book, Let Them Off. Let Them Off. Fuck them.
That's my book. It'd be like if Josie left you for another man, right? And you were obviously, I assume you'd be perturbed. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Perturbed. Would you be perturbed?
Yeah, you'd be a bit perturbed. Some perturbment. Bit of anguish, yeah.
There'd be a sprinkling of perturbment, for sure. And so if I was just like, do you know what? Let her off. Because also I feel the harder, the more you try to hold on to something, you know that saying, let go or be dragged? Yeah. So you can be... It's the let go. It's the let it go theory, basically. And it does work. It really does work if you kind of engage your core. And you're like, do you know what? Let them. Because do you know why? The more you let them, the chances are they'll come back around, which is ultimately what we want. It's revenge.
I know, but whoever, come on. It's like, I love the sound of let them and it sounds amazing. And I'd love to be a part of the let them gang. But like, I think when you're on the other side of the let them, if you're not, if you're not the let them person and you're the one that has to be like, oh, I have to let them. Then you're like, oh no, this is really hard.
You mean if you're not the person doing the thing that they need to let? Yes.
Yeah, if I'm not being let, if I have to be the let them, I'd rather be the let. Yeah, it's a lens.
It's a way of thinking that you have to kind of practice because, yeah, but it's all, I mean, I know I'm getting real woo-woo now, but it's all, a lot of it's just ego based. So if you can kind of park your ego and say, a lot of it's rejection or... A lot of the time when people reject you, they kind of trigger a belief that you already have about yourself.
