Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. You know, I've been in a really reflective mood lately. I'm always that way this time of year. And so I decided to just look back over the year and think about the moments on the podcast that had the biggest impact on me. You know, the ones where I was really moved or an expert challenged me to think about a topic in an entirely new way, or they shared a tool that fundamentally changed my approach to something. And so I've decided to gather up my favorite moments today and share them with you. And you're about to meet the six experts. And you're going to hear the moments from the Mel Robbins podcast that fundamentally changed my life. And I promise you, they're going to change your life too. Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. It is always such an honor to be able to spend time together with you. And today in particular, I think our time is going to be extraordinarily moving.
And the reason why I'm saying that is because I have been thinking a lot about the last year on the podcast. And I wanted to compile the top moments with experts on this podcast over the last year that truly moved me, that impacted my life, that made me look at a very important topic in life in an entirely new way, that inspired me to change something, not just change it, but to change it for good. And so I'm so excited to be able to share with you Moments with six experts that changed my life. And if you're brand new to the Mel Robbins Podcast, somebody sent you this episode. This is an absolutely extraordinary episode to listen to as your very first episode. I want to welcome you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family, and it's a real honor to have you here. And I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to share these meaningful moments with you.
Of course, there's no better place for me to start, for me, when Dr. Doty hopped on a plane and flew all the way across the United States to join me in our Boston studios. And let me tell you a little bit about him, and then I'm gonna tell you about what you're gonna hear. Dr. Jim Doty is a pioneering Stanford neurosurgeon. And by pioneering, I mean the man has actually created a spinal surgery technique that has transformed spinal surgery. He's also a world-renowned neuroscientist. He's founded a bunch of companies. He's also the founder and the director of the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, and the former chairman of the Dalai Lama Foundation. Now, Dr. Doty was in our studios to talk about his work and research on the topic of manifesting. That's right. We're learning about the process of manifesting from a neurosurgeon. And he just... opened my eyes to the topic of manifesting in ways that I cannot wait to share with you because I believe in manifesting.
But learning about how there are four different parts of your brain that you're using when you're manifesting, it was just mind-blowing and empowering. So the first thing I want to share with you from that conversation with Dr. Doty is a story that he shared at the very beginning of our conversation, where he describes being a 12-year-old kid. He grew up in a house where there was a lot of conflict and fighting, and he would hop on his bike and And rides his bike is far away from the stuff going on in the household that he grew up in. And one day he ends up at this magic shop and it changed the trajectory of his life because of how the woman working in that magic shop taught him as a 12 year old.
And I'm going to play this in just a minute for you to listen to. But the reason why this is so important is is that I believe that we are all equipped to help one another. In fact, I think that you're best equipped to help the person that you once were. And it's very clear to me that when this 12-year-old version of Jim Doty walked into the magic shop, the woman working there saw a kid who needed someone to care. And that right there changed the trajectory of his entire life.
