It was such a success that L'Oréal recently bought her company for $1.2 billion dollars.
I’m talking about none other than Jamie Kern Lima, the founder of @ITCosmeticsvideo

[@JeanWurl-nk8gu]

Watched you both on Unstoppable. REALLY ENJOYED. Ordered book. Cannot believe I watched for 12 hours. Pretended I was back in school. Sat for that long then.

[@user-gv8vc7ee3c]

❤❤ 2:11pm 2/28/2024 Deeply humbled, deeply touched and deeply honored. Still crying, I’m trying to get out this New Year at 63…..thank you both so so much had a couple surgeries moving forward I’ve been hidden since cv19………in transition….

Also, I have white patches all over me started at 35 I think but it’s all over….. so thank you, I’m so ready I’m so immensely thankful for these popcorn miracles ❤❤Respectfully Submitted

[@mattktt]

“Find people that want the best for you, not that want the best for them in you” loved that!

[@nbafessant]

I just wanted to reach out to Mel and tell her that she is on the right track. I know your talk show would have been amazing, but this podcast format is reaching an exponentially broader audience therefore touching more lives than any television show ever, and will be available for replay for a much longer time than on any other television streaming service. Plus, the vital benefit of a hungry audience! So I say congratulations! I am so happy for you and your audience that you get this opportunity, its not a 'boobie prize', it is the top prize!

[@xannaz9226]

I agree! I loved seeing Mel with Hoda on tv recently, I love seeing Mel anywhere. But there is something about the intimacy of the podcast, and knowing you are in her house, that makes me feel truly a part of her life. I mean, if I ever am lucky enough to meet her, I'll probably way, "Oh lookie there! It's my friend, Mel!" because this little person on my computer screen manages to actually make me like she is truly my friend. It's so weird. But not in a bad way.

[@Filmgirlphilosopher]

True, this feels more authentic to me and less cliche like a talk show feels. Also I never saw a single episode of the talk show because it’s not free.

[@Dtdbythesea8]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: First off, thank you both for the time you spend helping others. If you have no support system/family, completely starting over in your 50s, (Career and financially), and have no clue where to begin but you know inside you have something really powerful to give to the world, how do you begin? How do you find your purpose? At times I feel like a failure at this age not knowing. It is something that I keep to myself and swim in a sea of thoughts daily on what is my purpose? Is my story valid? Do I have a purpose?

[@atee6331]

@DTD you described “ME.” These are the things I struggle with daily. I DID start a legitimate business in 2018 that I originally operated out of my home kitchen as a “hobby” for about 6 years. The business was slowly building, and so was my confidence and the growing vision for my business. THEN… Covid hit. Business operations have been on pause ever since snd I’m overwhelmed with how to get it going again because norms have changed. Prayer is my only stability… and learning through programs such as this. Let’s stay strong together!

[@emotionsin5d]

THIS kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWHPqoOigpuCqpI 🤯 such a simple exercise, but it brought me SO MUCH CLARITY on my PURPOSE!! I hope it helps you too.

[@mariamckeon3532]

Yes! Don’t give up !

[@tatyana4475]

Hi DTD…, I am in the same situation as you are- in my 50th, no support. I have all the same questions. Want to connect?

[@teutaization]

Thanks for for your message

[@jenniferlynnpictures]

Simply amazing!!! I run an unconventional photography business centered around all of these concepts simply using the lens as my platform. I lead my clients to various resources to try to capture exactly the messages described here and now I found my newest and best resources to date! I literally came to KZbin to see if Mel Robbins had anything on the topic to add to my shared resources. I searched “Mel Robbins Created with Purpose”. I am blown away at the entire interview and have already download Jamie’s audiobooks. I will be sharing this with many to come!!! Thank you for always putting out such amazing content and finding the most incredible people to interview on your show!

[@LA-re4rh]

I just started listening to you Mel. This podcast was POWERFUL for me. Just got out of a traumatic relationship of 10 years. Jamie gave me a powerful, affirmative quote, “Rejection is God’s Protection “. I love that. God for me knows best. This was so wonderful to listen to today. You guys are so positive and real. God bless.

[@LanceNRusso]

Divorce is never the way out, My wife and I have been having issues before I sort out help from a spiritual adviser, i wasn't going to let my marriage of 18years crash.

[@LanceNRusso]

@Rose Allen well not the orthodox way but i was referred by a friend to a spiritual adviser and healer

[@LanceNRusso]

@Rose Allen her name is Shelly Renee White, and she is a great spiritual adviser as well as caster

[@LanceNRusso]

@Rose Allen you can look her name up online and you will find all you need.

[@7drunkenmermaids431]

I SOOOOOOOO beg to differ. Divorce was my only way out. Gave me wings to fly. WHY stay in an oppressive situation? Your statement is very privileged and short sighted. Definitely may have been true to your situation but don't ever tell everyone it's wrong.

[@gialollobrigida1713]

There truly are very few non religious/spiritual resources out there-this website, the book DIVORCE BUSTERS changed our path to divorce quickly. Look her up!!!

[@GEORGIOARCADE]

Mel this is by far the best episode of your podcast. I literally just had an ahh ha moment 😃💡 I always had those thoughts of (it's already done before or no one is gonna care about my perspective/idea) But the way Jamie explained purpose and how to make it work on the 22:30 mark of this episode is life changing. I'll be listening to this often whenever I need encouragement. There's a reason why your podcast is #2 and soon to be #1 on Apple podcasts. I wish you a very blessed day 🌟☕️

[@Andychangftw]

Hi Mel and Jamie! I’m 25:33 into the podcast and I can’t tell you how much both of you have inspired me. For so long, I struggled with depression, even though I have been in recovery for nearly 7 years. I’ve always wanted to share my struggles with the world via my KZbin channel but was worried about views/subs/money and therefore didn’t go all in. However, I am now 100% COMMITTED to going all in on how I overcame my depression so I can inspire millions of people who are just like me. Thank you so much for this gift!

[@Recover_Your_P.O.W.E.R]

Never worry about the likes and views. Always approach as though you’re reaching out to the ONE person. That ONE person matters. ❤

[@rob6053]

I love how Mel slow walks and repeats the important bits!

[@maggiechi8718]

⭐️QUESTION FOR JAIME: What would you have done Jaime if you had NO husband working & contributing while you built your business, it was YOU ALL ALONE & ALL financial doors are exhausted!⭐️ There are tons of people in this situation that are ALONE with NO FINANCIAL support but have a “ PURPOSE “ others need now! I AM that SPECIAL PERSON!!!🌺✨🎁✨🌺 LOVE LOVE LOVE this Podcast Mel, you and Jaime ROCK!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@terallweideman7672]

You just brainwash yourself that what you have to give is ESSENTIAL and take small daily steps towards your goal

[@kitanalin4564]

I am not usually a KZbin commenter but for some reason this episode is MOVING me. I have been shedding random tears throughout this episode. Wow

[@wallybornmann8336]

I'm a 73-year-old guy who most likely won't be buying Jamie's cosmetics. That being said I find myself vividly recalling a moment when I was 15 or so when I announced to my mother that I believed I was special and that I had something special to do in life. Her reply changed my life forever because I accepted it rather than rejecting it - she said I had no business thinking I was any more special than anyone else. Ultimately I suspect I proved her right. Thanks for sharing your story. I wish I would have gone with the knowing rather than the no.

[@questioneverything1776]

You still can do it. Whatever it is. Ppl need you and your wisdom. Don’t let age stop you. It’s even more inspiring when ppl of older ages start their businesses. DO IT! ❤

[@lubicatuhrinska9716]

Mel First of all, I want to express my gratitude for your work. Amazing, fantastic work for people who need help. I belong to them. I listen to you every day. I know it's not about listening, it is about doing. And I am doing. And it's hard, really hard. You prepare us and talk openly about the difficulties that await us. And they appear-every day. But, step by step, day by day I continue. And it works. But I also need to hear you, I want to listen to you because you are my STRONG SUPPORT in my new life. It helps a lot. My English is not the best, sorry if something is written incorrectly. Thank you, big THANKS. Lubica (55) from Slovakia.

[@christinelangin7209]

Go @Lubica 🎉 I’m walking w/you also! @Mel Robbins brings out the tough work & thankfully it’s also w/tough love🫶🏼 We can DO this!!👊🏼💪🏼😎🙌🏼

[@carolynbagshaw4686]

The wind blowing me at my back now on my walk feeling more in tune with my gut, my why, what I have to offer these client's my journey in education. My business student coach, parent advocate. I have been following you Mel and your speakers 30 days. All of January 2023 it am grateful 🙏 !

[@valvrj]

This podcast is getting better and better, and so is the quality of the guests invited. 👏 Keep up with good work, Mel. Love listening to you on a regular basis and applying those learnings in my life.

[@desreeLukhele]

I am so grateful of you Mel Robbins for helping us figure out our life purpose and for being there all the time.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

Prayers and Blessings for everyone to find purpose, their first step forward and to continue.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💓💪💯😇💕💝

[@monpetson]

*QUESTION FOR JAMIE: How to get over the belief that great things can happen to others but not to me? It's like I have this block, I truly believe anyone can do it, achieve their dreams, be successful, find their purpose. But I don't believe it's possible for me... It seems you always believed in yourself, in your gut. But what if you don't have that belief?* Thank you so much!!!💖 What an AMAZING INSPIRING story. Two beautiful, authentic, caring, inspiring women. Much love❤

[@Recover_Your_P.O.W.E.R]

What makes ANYONE more special than you? YOU are the only YOU and you have something special and unique to offer this world. You never know who is living your story and needs to know they’re not alone. Speak your truth always ! ❤

[@JoyceMartincream]

Have overcome every type of abuse u can think of, started the day I was born. Placed in over 30 homes to begin with, so right there u can imagine the suffering, discrimination, and challenges. Have been fighting for my rights & digging myself out of my horrible situation for years. It takes a lot of energy, time, therapy & understanding how the world works, it can sure take u down at times. Very thankful for the teachings you, and Jamie are sharing. 😻🌈

[@atee6331]

I’ll be watching for the segment where Jamie answers the QUESTIONS FOR JAMIE. I know I will learn from all of the questions asked by others. MANY THANKS TO YOU BOTH! God Bless!

[@peoplehealth_hacks]

Love Jamie for following her gut, knowing you can best serve others where you have gone before. Love Mel for teaching us to be our own advocates to tell others about your purpose and expect to hear a tonne of ‘no’s’ because it’s not their knowing. God’s blessings will flow in believing and the love of giving…awesome podcast!

[@JaxStar5]

This woman is amazing! Thank you for bringing her. I got chills with the wisdom I found in your two.❤❤❤❤

[@Recover_Your_P.O.W.E.R]

I believe PURPOSE is the compass that points us in the direction we need to go. It’s not the destination! ❤ Another great podcast! Thank you Mel and Jamie!

[@jessicaguillen7971]

My God, this is one of the best things I have listened to in a long time. Motivating, inspirational, yet realistic. I am a big believer that our purpose is greater than any goal, career, or title. But sometimes we go through things that make us doubt ourselves and it is so nice to have this reminder. I have sent it to almost every person I know and care about. Thank you both for sharing this with the world ❤️

[@livelife418]

This was exexcellent but I could barely hear this young lady & had to rewind constantly. Yes, I am a lot older & IMO soft voices need to be closer to the microphone. Mel, you are my new best friend. I needed encouragement yesterday, and SUDDENLY you led me out of the wilderness with a better way to START my day. Sevon yrs w/7 of us on a weekly 7:30 a m call Miracle Morning call. Your name & 5 Second Rule talked about on that call. Shaklee team calls & Landmark associates mention your name. No wonder!! I learned today you have been on Ted Talks, & I am going to listen after sending this. Excitement is in the air again, &this young lady reminded me to reignite the warrior within.

[@maggiechi8718]

Right I agree Jaime, I have said this for over 28 yrs in the dating world “ Rejection is God’s protection “ Thank you God! 🙏🏻🙏🏻✨💝✨🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Gypsy218]

Thank you Jamie. It seems like these successful podcasters think everyone wants to be like them, that everyone’s dream is some kind of success and lots of money. That’s not really purpose and it’s misguided. I really appreciate your point of view and stating that the success of your company wasn’t really your purpose, I watched you on QVC through the years and am so happy you’re on this podcast trying to get Mel and others to get this.

[@jdubya9650]

40:42 That hit me like a ton of bricks! Yes…MasterClass please!

[@brycenwhitesides6866]

Loved this so much. I read Jamie's book a few years back after randomly stumbling upon it in a library. Was life-changing. Thank you so much Mel for your podcasts and for these important discussions that are so enlightening and motivating and positive. The rejection is protection Turn your "nos" into knowing Listen to your intuition the only way to be truly successful is to be authentic.

[@rebeccasutton1596]

"Steps are ordered" is in the Bible - Psalm 37:23

[@michellenapoli2065]

OMG! Such a great podcast today with Jamie!! Always love your words of wisdom Mel and for believing in us even when we don’t believe in ourselves! Thanks to professor purpose for sharing ‘listen to the knowing’! Love you both and thanks from the bottom of my heart!!❤❤❤

[@ClintonYapCY]

At 43:16 Mel asked Jamie, "What do you do when you don't even know the next step?" 43:30 Jamie responded, "The next right step. The next thing that feels right when you can't even see how the heck it's gonna work out."

[@richardmarcotte3983]

I just got done listing to Jamie's book, and as a 57 year old male, this book is not just for women. Every Chapter had at 3, 4 or 5 gems. I am now going to listen again with notebook in hand. Fresh in my mind right now is "Belive in giving what you need". Still pondering all the possibilites of that statement!

[@Mmmmkaaay]

There's such a fine line between being delusional and believing in oneself.

[@jeanaandreatta949]

TRUTH!!

[@rosaidalanuza4774]

This is the first episode I've seen, and wow!! Every question Mel asks is spot on. Above all, I love how she analyzes and breaks down each answer.

[@Dil.Careem]

If you're feeling unsure about your life purpose and dreams, remember that clarity comes through action. Start by exploring your passions and values, then set meaningful goals aligned with them. Stay focused on the steps you need to take to achieve those goals, and remember that setbacks and failures are part of the journey. Keep pushing forward, trust the process, and believe in yourself. You have the power to create a life filled with purpose and achievement.

[@Anna_Amoroso]

QUESTION FOR JAIMIE What can you tell us on self sabotage and the best ways to overcome it and fight also those deep limiting beliefs? Thank you 😊❣️ Thank you very much for this podcast so inspiring! ❤️🥰 I am still fighting for my purpose and hope to be soon on the other side of the barrier. Love you Mel!😘

[@oddpepperpot7842]

This is my first time tuning in on your podcast and I'm in tears halfway through during the intuition part because so far the whole part of your podcast is so SO meaningful. I like your podcast more than Jay Shetty's too. So very glad you took the plunge into the podcast world. Looking forward to hearing all your shows. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I needed all this. 🫶

[@oddpepperpot7842]

@Mel Robbins +⃝①⑤⑦④⑨④③⑤②⑦⓪ yeah i would of you really were Mel Robbins. Put yourself to better use otherwise it'll only end badly for yourself.

[@tamaraweed3124]

🤗 this podcast came up and TRULY NEEDED IT!!! I am blessed! Thank you both❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@moniaelbrirhli7114]

I found it so special that you egnore the things that happening right now in the world in PALESTINE 🇵🇸 I liked you before but not so much right now!!! Free Palestine 🇵🇸 the people are in depressed need of your vois more than the people that are listing to your podcast!

[@Rensa803]

The big thing missing in all of these videos is money! Not having enough money to pursue your passion or purpose is a huge obstacle for so many people.

[@claudinebrown5605]

Where there's a will there's a way

[@awname8771]

Mel since my divorce my job loss due to the pandemic but I am working now I feel so stuck lost unmotivated every time I take a step forward I get pushed back 3 your videos are motivational and inspirational it’s taking that leap of faith because every single things start going good it simply falls apart

[@JennyGaston]

Such a great episode. My favorite part 14:00. I have used my story of trauma to help others and it has made my work more meaningful. ❤️

[@purplerain4779]

I am a 67 year old YOUNG woman. My profession is massage therapist of 20 years. I have a "never been done before" idea that involves massage but am very afraid of stepping out on a limb to pursue it because of finances and because of my age. After listening to this podcast, the wheels in my brain are really turning right now! Thank you Mel and Jamie for this inspiring episode!

[@user-gv8vc7ee3c]

Still Crying, Thank you, like a budding rose i’m beginning to open softly and slowly. Catching up like a slow turtle 🐢with much appreciation. In Spirit

[@geetharav4228]

Hi Mel and Jamie , I used to think Mel is amazing , but realised Jamie is even more awesome , just looking at her grace is so inspiring ❤

[@kims1008]

nobody asked but I just wanted to say that this episode saved my mind, soul and the way of reaching out to my future. this episode will be my key of the solution when I feel a fear and failing in my life. thank you Mel and thank you for Jamie.

[@maryhunt5171]

I am 70 years old and not ready to stop working. I love Jamie's message and Mel asks the most intelligent, carefully thought out questions. Because Mel is a fantastic listener. But I have followed Jamie through the years and I find her to be not only inspiring in every sense of the word, but so very real. And, she's a gorgeous gal. Both women are beautiful inside and out. Kudos to you both for such a magnificent podcast. I have shared it with people who will appreciate it.

[@user-bd8kp8yh1s]

Hello. Mel. Thank you I FOUND your chanel I have 68 years on this earth Never in my life have I ever learned so much. I watch all your podcasts each one touches me deeply. I call it my adult class .I have leaned more from being with you .Then all the years I went to school. I believe these subjects should be taught in school. You have changed my life for the better. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hugs for you

[@ga4701]

This is truly one of the most inspiring things i have ever witnessed in my life. It's time for me to listen to my knowing!

[@jeanaandreatta949]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: I build horse tack. (Equipment for riding horses). I’ve designed and built the first type of collar of this kind. Other makers have copied it. How do I stop that? Of course I have no money for lawyers or copyrights or patents. We are just scraping by, digging out of a hole, trying to hang on. LOVED THIS EPISODE, Jamie and Mel!!! I remember seeing Jamie on QVC in the white dress!!

[@carolynbagshaw4686]

So Beautiful this is so relatable. The level of service is so important 🙌. I am teaching our children and young adults this. I am growing while growing my student coaching business. I am 60 almost 61, all my issues from lack of confidence in school led me on this path.

[@mailorlee2]

This is such an inspiring episode. Mel, if you actually read my comment, I just want you to know that listening to this very podcast is stirring up a long put away dream I've had for over 20 years. If I am meant for a bigger purpose, then I hope my timing will be here soon. 🙏

[@everydayreality.2068]

I always say that, and I believe it's true regarding "Man's rejection is God's protection." I also feel that this applies to Jamie also. TRUST. Truly relying upon spiritual timing. I also feel that every rejection led you to QVC. That other company could have signed you that day, but your story isn't that story. QVC and those models, exactly how you did it, IS YOUR STORY. I don't believe it would have been the same story without exactly how it happened with QVC. Spiritual timing. It's not our timing. I have your book, but this was a huge gift. I love both of you fantastic women. Thank you both. 🥰🥰🥰 P.S. I also pray a lot. I listen from the stil small voice. I've found that as long as I keep negative energy, resentments, and other people's dreams out of my mind, body, and soul, I CAN HEAR!! The key for me to "hear" is to take care of myself on the spiritual, physical, and emotional levels EVERY DAY. 🙏🙏🙏

[@melmosmann]

Mel I have to say THANK YOU, these last few months your podcasts, books and lives, have been hugely beneficial in keeping me positive, and moving forward in these days of overwhelming change and insecurities. ❤❤❤❤❤ I Love your authenticity and realism!

[@tinapetersen8083]

This is so meaningful and also great for middle school girls who struggle daily with acceptance and understanding their worth. Thank you.

[@mariee.5912]

I have to agree with Jamie on her description of Mel. I met Mell in 2020 on her TV show, and when the cameras turned off, she was amazing. She answered everyone's questions, she took selfies, signed books, and let people record whatever they wanted record. She didn't disappoint me.

[@Befreealways87]

We are all in it together! Love this. Thank you Ladies!!

[@ellstration]

Another banger episode thank you so much Mel! @Jamie: Hi I'm Elena. I had the pleasure to attend at a video call with Mel by the start of last year. The short story is that Mel gave me the last push to leave my cleaning part-time job and to start traveling. About my backstory: both of my parents passed away (my dad in 2018 my mum in 2019), I left my work field, in which I've a bachelor in and started my own business. I'm basically burning my savings at the moment to create the life I want for myself, which is traveling, illustrating and being a creative free spirited person. Over the last weeks, I was desperately searching for "the problem" I can and want to take care of for others. A few days ago, I finally had the realization that what the people draws to me is (besides my story) "I don't know what I want" BUT "F**k it I'm doing it anyway". I got so concerned about this that I never even thought about my problem, being the problem of others and that I can be some sort of role model. I remember vividly how Mel asked me "What do you want?" and that I need to know my answer that she can help, which of course makes totally sense. Since I started acting on this pull inside myself, I've never felt that alive in a long time, I've made so many experiences already and I'm even making connections with "successful" people. On the other side, my tax consultant tells me that I'm not making enough money and I'm afraid that the tax office shuts down my business. Same as you Jamie I KNOW that I'm made for something bigger. As far as I know I'm going a completely new path by looking at my families history and I also haven't met a person yet, who's doing something like me. My question is: how do you observe the path, decisions and strategies of heroes (not mentors!) but stick with what is meant for you? I tend to get influenced by the input of people, who are successful in their niche but oftentimes end up with a suffering artist heart, because it's simply not the same. @Mel: I'll be traveling to Japan on March 7th for 3 months. Thank you so much for the push! 💛

[@LisaDabbs]

Jaime’s journey is so incredible and inspiring! Heard her speak live on video at Tony Robbins Unshakeable 5 day workshop. Had watched her on QVC for years and was blown away to see what she’s become and how her faith has been a big part of that journey. 💛

[@staceyprovencio]

Oh my goodness this was so profound for me and solidified my purpose even more. God truly puts people in our paths for many different reason and seasons and this is my season to go full steam ahead. Thank you both ladies I appreciate you and all the hardships you had to go through to get to this point so I could see this. Love you both so hard 💗

[@xannaz9226]

Mel your interview questions seemed to come from my brain to your mouth. You asked her all the things I was always curious about, really dissecting those key moments along her path to success. I use her amazing products and did not know this back story. Three years of rejection and she didn't give up!!! What a soul, what a heart, what a fantastic interview. The "No" to "Knowing" is gold. And as for purpose, I'm beginning to realize that when I have a good idea and think, "Hey, someone should create xyz," well, you have the idea because that "someone" is you. It's the universe saying, "here's the idea, for you, not for someone else, I'm giving it to YOU." I keep thinking someone should create a senior community that includes housing for students. The students would benefit from lower cost and the perspective offered by those older and wiser, and the older folks would have someone around to show them how to send an email or give them a hand with heavy lifting. After hearing this podcast, I want to explore this possibility more. I think the silo-ing of generations is tragic.

[@SHMB1999]

mine too

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: Actually not a question, I want to say thank you. My mother got cancer and we went to the look good feel good program, what a beautiful moment I got to share w my mom in her last unpleasant days. You are an angel on earth, bless you and thank you!

[@shellyroberts2101]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE… When finances are holding you back from your purpose and you’ve exhausted all avenues of funding through banks and credit cards but know you’re on the brink of achieving your vision… where do you go next? 💖

[@kjmav10135]

Yes. She had “no money,” but she had a partner who could keep working and providing for them. Some of us don’t have a husband/wife that financially supports our dream. Where to go next? I have friends who got their PhDs because they have a supportive partner. If you don’t? It’s hard. I can’t figure it out.

[@maggiechi8718]

Me too…… I am completely with you, I am SUPER CLEAR what my “ passion & purpose” is but am on my own, NO man financially supporting me! I have ZERO money to get this up and running, I have exhausted all my finances trying too, uugghh!!! ⭐️GREAT QUESTION!⭐️

[@jeannamiller5402]

Start small if possible. I have sold everything I can that I don’t need. Cut our extra expenses. I drovefor Spark to make extra money. I listened to my gut that put ideas in my head for ways to make things work. Little side hustles. May sound weird but seriously keep open minded. Don’t give up. Speak out loud also that you are so blessed & lucky that everything works out for me. Look up Lucky Girl Syndrome. 💖

[@shellyroberts2101]

@@jeannamiller5402 Thank you 💖 I’m not going to give up just need to find a way to keep moving forward as feeling a bit stuck just now and finances are weighing heavy on my mind! x

[@Lucaplayshorts]

And they have no answer. Surprise.

[@JoanneWhitlock]

Great timing, had been feeling pretty low. Two voices in my head that I’m the worst person to help with this and then saying there must be others who struggle with self expression too.

[@jicajacobsonkimbreaux]

I just want to say THANK YOU to both of you for this amazing conversation, it really has encouraged me and taught me so much about listening to and trusting my gut. (As an aside, I would love to hear from someone who suffers/has suffered from cptsd and has difficulties interpreting those responses - you know, besides my regular therapist.) I really wanted to say thank you to Mel for taking the brief moment to state/explain your menopause drawbridge moment, as brain fog/temporary disconnection is a major issue that often makes it difficult for me to feel comfortable enough to make real connections with people. Thank you for your authenticity. Seeing an awesome person (who literally talks to other awesome people for a living) not become derailed by the same issue inspires much confidence.

[@salahuddinnoorzad]

As an advanced English learner from Afghanistan; I have been watching your motivating videos for long time. Although I have got motivated in my life and learned more and more things to bring changes in my life; I have highly strengthened my English language so far. Your English accent is productive and amazing. Regards

Im 40 now and have created a business that is not operating due to my health but am working on another business and life keeps going.. i Love this podcast Mel!!

[@JoyceMartincream]

The stars were all aligning for Jamie, and she was able to push through the crap. Me, myself & I are so grateful that I am still kicking, it's been rough out here. So happy she has made it, and sharing her story. 🌈🙏👍🌹🙂

[@prettykitty75]

Such a beautiful story❤thank you so much, I really needed to hear this!

[@dominiqueraymond2174]

[@tam28563]

Thank you, Mel, for bringing such an awesome Masterclass to all of us! Jamie, I bought my IT cosmetics from your show on QVC! Love the products, but I was sold on it from you!! I love your book and I love you! Ladies, you both are making such a difference in lives of millions! Love you both!! Thank you again for all that you are doing! 💞

[@madelineDaMiddle1]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: Do you and your friend Mel realize how big a blessing you both are? If not (and even if so), I just have to tell you...huge. Huge. HUGE!!!! Thank you for sharing your journeys. I am empowered by knowing you are possible. You are a grace, and I am grateful. Blessings, Beautiful.

[@painlesspregnancy]

QUESTION FOR JAIME: I absolutely adore you!!! You inspire me every day!! I’ve started a small company nearly 6 years ago, and I listen to your story frequently so that I can stay inspired. I’d love to know your thoughts on how to take it to the next level. We are doctors of physical therapy and we serve pregnant and postpartum women in the comfort of their own homes. We want women to have PT as a standard part of their obstetric care, yet most still wait until the are hurting or peeing their pants to work with us. Any marketing advice on how to make that change in how we communicate our message to the world??

[@mishka3178]

I stumbled upon Mel’s KZbin videos during a challenging season of my life. Mel, the work you do and the things you talk about matter. And bringing your friend Jamie on this episode and hearing her share her story was beautiful. You are both beautiful for being so open and of service to others. Sometimes we hear things exactly when we need to, and I often feel that way when tuning in. This was a master class for sure and both of you incredible women have a clear purpose. Thank you for lifting up others and for showing many how to show themselves grace. It’s crazy how it’s the hardest thing to do for oneself, but one of the most important and necessary things to do for oneself in order to find our purpose and live authentically. Keep shining ladies 💕

[@SheriNaMon]

This is the 1st interview I'm watching on the Mel Robbins Podcast/Show and I AM SO GRATEFUL; THANK YOU ALL (even the people working in the background). My eyes teared up multiple times during this episode and I feel like I'm connected to NEW FRIENDS. Much Love ✨🫶🏻💛

[@user-ns7vx3gi3e]

[@cathyhershey1650]

I love you Mel and I love Jamie. Thank you so very much for this inspiring interview. God bless you both.

[@mariamirolyubova6921]

I looooved!!! Jamie's story!!! The real women have spoken! We're not gonna go bankrupt!!! Loved it!!! Thank you!!!

[@oddlilbird]

I love this story! Let’s also acknowledge her husband. He believed in her and her mission, which was a women’s’ issue on the surface. I’m happy for you both❤️

[@juliemidgley5287]

"Do you listen to the know.....or do you listen to the knowing" What an outstanding, life changing and profound phrase. Absolutely brilliant podcast, filled with inspirational phrases, that I will cherish always. With immense gratitude and love, thank you both. Truly remarkable.

[@kathleenmccarthy1692]

Just got chills from the remarks of changing the industry. God Bless you and your courage!

[@Swansue]

I LOVE THIS STORY!! Oh my gosh. I’ve heard hundreds of stories. This is surely one of the best. I think because it’s honest and she isn’t changing the details of how it happened. I think many change the hard details of the past.

[@lovingatlanta]

👍🙏💝Thank you for sharing. I’m so happy for Jamie. I didn’t recognize her at first because she changed her hair and lost a lot of weight…..good for her! I wish her continued success and well.💝

[@missnya4368]

I so needed to hear this interview!!! I am planning my exit from my current job next month . I've been wanting to start a podcast since 2021 and few other things for so long it's time I do it I am going to use whatever savings i have and just start no more excuses .

[@dawngraf3802]

Good Podcast, after the last one that's the next step I was thinking about. We all have to find our purpose! That's what I heard about succeeding in life, a million no's before the Yes, accept your past, learn from it and follow your gut, your instincts, your inner voice (could be God, it's quiet), follow your passion. Take rejection as protection, stick with people who support you. Helping others helps you. Trust your intuition, fulfill yourselves. Take the shot, don't let it slip away. Protect yourself, life's a journey, get good health coverage, believe that you can, keep moving forward, believe in your dreams, life's a purpose, we're all in it together, get out there and do it! Success and happiness is ahead. Be authentic, responsible and advocate, have faith and love yourself! That's my summary of this podcast. Have a great day & be your own best friend and best self. Keep going on and moving forward! Luv ya too...

[@jojosmojo1974]

I am sending this to my young adult daughters. Love you Mel❤️🌹

Our Knowing Sooooo True! I want you to know how profound! every human being has this within their souls! Amen ! 🙏

[@kinethecoach]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: First - thank you so much for this fantastic interview! Applause to you both! Q: How did you manage/get the courage to be so vulnerable on live television - paving the important way of authenticity and inclusive beauty standards? I am also wondering the same q. to Mel! Because you both share your stories so bravely in books/in interviews ect.! I hope I will ready to tell my story or at least more of it someday too. Did you think about how to share it while also doing it in a way where you honor your own boundaries too? I think it is scary to face potential judgement from people who dont understand or just are ..coldhearted. But authenticity is the the most important even if it might be scary. Any reflections or tips on this authenticity topic would be super! Thank you!❤ ✨☀
