What is the purpose of a mid-year reset?
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Oh my gosh, I am so excited that you're here. I have been dying to get on this microphone and to catch up with you. I feel like we have not had the kind of episode where it's just been you and I talking for months. And look, I just got back from being on tour, holy cow, 56 days. 15 cities, 21 sold out shows, almost 100,000 of you came who are fans of this podcast. I'm back at home in Vermont. I've slept for like a week to try to recover from being on tour. I'm back above the garage. I'm back on this microphone. I am so excited to be back here with you. And I was thinking about, okay, what is the first thing that I want to talk to you about today?
I just really wanted to connect with you. I mean, here's the thing. While I've been on tour, I know you've been busy. You're busy living your life. I mean, can you believe that this year is almost halfway over? The time was like, what the heck? So here's what I thought we could do. We could hit the pause button together. You know, almost like support each other and doing a little reset right now and help each other take stock of all the things that happened this year. The hard things that you got yourself through, the progress that you made, the moments that you handled so much better than you used to, the ways that you keep showing up even when no one else notices. And here's how we're gonna do it. As we kind of go on this little walk and catch up together, I'm just gonna throw out two questions that force you to pause, probably for the first time in months,
And questions that help you reflect on all the things that you've experienced and done so far this year. And then we'll get to the second question. And the second question I love because the second question is grounded in research. And it's also the kind of question that a good friend asks you when you're going for a walk after a couple months. And that question is, what are you looking forward to? And there's fascinating research about why this question and having something to look forward to is so important in life. And I promise you, by the time we're done with this conversation, you're gonna feel so much better because we're gonna reconnect and we're gonna reset. I love spending time with you and I love being together.
And today, that's what we're doing. It's just you and me, two friends catching up, hitting the reset and reconnecting over these two powerful questions.
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. I am so glad you're here. It's an honor to spend this time together. If you're new or somebody shared this episode with you, I just want to start by personally welcoming you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family. And today, it's just you and me. And I have been so looking forward to this conversation with you because it's been a long time since you and I just hung out without experts, without somebody else, without a ton of things to do. And there's a lot that's happened in the last three months while I've been on tour that I've been wanting to share with you. Funny stories, a bunch of insights. And so I want you to think about our conversation today and
As if you and I are two friends just going on a walk and we're catching up and I've asked you about your family and what's been going on for the last three months and you filled me in and now it's my turn and I'm going to fill you in because the fact is I just got home from being on tour and I cannot believe how much work it was. I know that sounds like it might not be surprising to you to hear that, but I think I was very naive about just how much work it was going to be to be on the road for three months and be in four different countries in front of almost 100,000 listeners of the Mel Robbins podcast, traveling with almost a crew of 30 people from place to place to place. I often thought as we were working these 16-hour days,
how the hell do musicians do this? I mean, honest to God, how do musicians have this schedule for 100 to 200 days?
