Mel Robbins on Letting Go and Changing Your Life (January 2026)

Author: Willie Geist, Sunday TODAY May 24, 2026 Duration: 53:05
Mel Robbins is a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and Golden Globe nominated podcast host behind The Let Them Theory and The Five Second Rule, two frameworks that have empowered people around the world. Robbins sits down with Willie Geist to break down why other people are the biggest source of stress, how letting go of control creates freedom, and why real change starts with your response, not your circumstances. Plus, she reflects on nearly losing everything, the snowy morning that changed her life forever, and how a single decision set her on an entirely new path. (Original broadcast date January 4, 2026)

Each week on Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist, the familiar, thoughtful host of NBC's Sunday TODAY extends his signature interview style into a longer, more relaxed format. Here, you'll find the complete, unedited conversations that often have to be trimmed for television, allowing for a more nuanced and personal exploration of each guest's journey. Willie sits down with an impressive and eclectic mix of people who are actively defining our world, including leading actors, influential musicians, political figures, and transformative business leaders. The discussions move beyond simple career highlights to uncover the real stories behind their public successes-the pivotal moments, challenges, and ideas that truly shaped them. This podcast offers a unique blend of news and cultural commentary, delivered through the lens of intimate, one-on-one dialogue. It’s a chance to settle in and hear substantial, meaningful conversations that cut through the noise, providing depth and context to the headlines and cultural trends we all talk about. For anyone interested in the human experiences behind the names in the news, film, television, and society at large, this series feels like a weekly, in-depth masterclass conducted with genuine curiosity and insight.
