Your Setbacks Are Setting You UP for Something Better | The Mel Robbins Podcast [ENCORE]

[@briiwillz]

That one statement was extremely powerful for me, “he gave me a no but God gave me a knowing”. I cried after hearing that thank you both for this God given reassurances. Keep doing what you’re doing Mel I love you and the work you are doing for people like me!

[@curiouscat5555]

Someone needs to make a movie about this woman’s story, omg

[@chandrasebastian8816]

Jamie was my daughter's gymnastics coach in Federal Way Washington State in the early -mid 90's!!!! She was the kindest most wonderful person. WOW!!! I'm amazed!

[@kathy2910]

One of the many reasons why I love this podcast is the caliber of questions Mel asks. As soon as I start wondering about something, she asks the question that brings the answer I'm looking for.

[@kathycole1]

fabulous woman I learned a lot!!What I took away is REJECTION is Gods protection.

[@curiouscat5555]

I literally bawled when she finished telling the QVC story 😭😭😭

[@TwiceAsLovely]

❤❤❤😊😊😊 Mrs Robbins, I do believe this is the most inspiring, sweetest, most genuine guest you have ever had on your show! Where on earth did you find this angel!!!? 😅

[@RoadtoEcoEmpwmt]

This story is so inspiring . I am almost in tears. 😢 Being an entrepreneur is definitely not for the feint of heart❤ Thankyou Mel! And thankyou Jamie for sharing your story🤗🙏🏾🌈

[@TheBlueskyson]

I'm best equipped to serve the person i used to be. 'He gave me a no, but i took it as a knowing'. OMG! What a way wit words. Now THAT is a drop mic moment. In life, are you gonna listen to the 'no', or are you gonna listen to the 'knowing'? Inauthenticity guarantees failure. Right on. Boom! ty ladies. x

[@Thunderhead231]

Thank you,Mel. I’m starting over again, I think this will be the fourth or fifth time. You’re helping me this time, so I know I’ll do better. And thank you for loving me, you’re the only one saying so. I love you, too.

[@kayjay3948]

Mel is my best friend in my head. My literal "soul sister"🤗. Keep up the great work Mel. Your messages are ALWAYS AWESOME!!!

[@shelbyschneider5456]

i actually started to cry...when she said "she got one shot on QVC". A first "yes" in over 3 years!! Love this segment; thank you!

[@4gClearWimax]

I want to say that Mel out of every single podcast guru coach or trainer out there. You are the only person that has ever got my needle to move. The show you had it wasn’t good because it always seemed forced and outcome dependent. Too much pressure to preform it had me tired afterwards. Now the podcast has been a place to land and refuel. You keep me in flight if it wasn’t for you I would be grounded and it’s because of you I sore! I love you Mel!

[@BellaDharma17]

What a remarkable and inspiring story! I’m just totally awestruck sitting here working on my artwork with tears and celebration for your success and greatness. 👏👏👏💐Brava Jamie, and Mel thank you so much for sharing your dear friend with us. You’re simply the best!

[@Miss_Annlaug]

I am on podcaat addict right now listening to your latest pod. This podcast is changing my life. I was already on that road, but this is just so friggin good. Im absolutely thrilled I have found this! I picked back up where I left off yesterday writing some books for young adults and people with mental health issues, and im so damn excited ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉i feel like im part of a movement here Mel : us nutters ADHD ladys united!

[@eirin20]

Mel Robbins I love you and I really wonder why I only discovered you now!!! Thank goodness I did. You’re my best friend even though I’ve never met you. Thank you for being out there and doing what you do. 🍀🍀🍀

[@msforce9]

Aaaaawsome podcast!!!! OMG!!! Cried through it! You two ladies are Rock Stars! Thank you for the inspiration! I love you too!!❤❤

[@janiemabe3858]

This is the most inspiring Podcast I’ve ever heard. Thank you Mel and thank you Jamie!

[@RoisinOConnell]

Wow, I loved as always listening to that conversation with Jamie. Perseverance and resilience at its best. I was walking around the lake next door to us with the dogs listening to this and when Jamie spoke about being on QVC and she heard that Deep was running low and tan was running low I just burst into tears as I felt so happy that the universe finally responded to Jamie's "knowing". Thank you Mel for another amazing podcast.

[@shaktipat246]

I teared up too, it's so beautiful when breakthrough comes

[@zaidelydickinson7746]

Thank you Mel! You are my best friend 🤗

[@lisajohnson9983]

Wow! What an incredible way to start my day! I shared a couple moments of the podcast with my nursing students this morning. One was that our purpose doesn't have to be our job. The other was that who we want to become is the very person who could have helped us when we experienced one of our darkest moments. Today's message hit me hard and rekindled that deep desire to do something more. Thank you both!!

[@jchittoor]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE : I SPENT A lifetime of using my knowledge and skills (41 years) in service of society in India. Knowing your and Mel's story and friendship tells me that most critical thing is to have a loving family. Can you please share a bit more about how you balance your role as a family member as well as a huge multi business investor. Like, how does your ordinary day pan out? Would love to learn about it! Thank you Mel and Jamie. you both are such a huge inspiration!

[@Snowlily01]

I’m sure she has outsourced a lot of the decision making. For eg, someone must be handling her investments while someone must be investing for her . Stuff like that.

[@lindseypoindexter702]

I swear I get bored of every podcast except this one!

[@eyza5927]

Love, love, love this episode! Thanks so much, Mel and Jamie. What an inspirational journey of turning your setbacks and rejections into your power and letting it be the fuel to drive you forward! ❤

[@juliannemoore5334]

Wow Mel you hit nail on head..that's what I'm doing..age 52 empty ester..ready to move outta state..I struggle trusting my instinct at times...but I'm getting better

[@heatherturner5750]

I REMEMBER SEEING HER ON QVC!!! WOOOWWWWW!! WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN!! I AM SOOOO HAPPY THAT SHE MARKETED HER PRODUCT THE WAY THAT SHE DID. ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE!!! I LOVE THIS WOMAN!! "REAL WOMEN HAVE SPOKEN!!!!" 😂😂😂😂

[@pauljamesdidit]

I needed to hear this today. I'm sitting on the fence with ideas that align with my purpose but feel stuck and hesitant to reveal my intent, fulfilment is paramount for me, Mel I need a coffee with you 🙌🏽

[@joshane2058]

I LOVED THIS SHOW AND I KNOW GREAT THINGS ARE COMING FOR ME! THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF THIS!

[@JoJo-xz6fw]

So Amazing! I'm still trying to find my purpose, now at 57 years old and alone again, struggling financially. BUT your words always mean so much to me and I'm just living day to day to be authentically myself, hoping my purpose will come to me. Thank You for this and I Love You Too!

[@randiengledow1364]

[@nadiadogter]

Someone also clearly read 'Untamed'. Love seeing woman starting to think in this way

[@4lifer-82]

[@KellySweeneyHatfield]

[@gmary524]

" in case nobody else has told you yet today, let me be the first to say that I love you and I believe in you and your ability to make your life bigger, whatever that looks like for you." - Mel quote

[@JesSoccer92487]

I use It cosmetics and love the serum line, so cool to hear her story! And perfect timing for hearing the "message" .. She seems like a sweetie!

[@debmontana4233]

YES!!!! Love love love IT Cosmetics… just ordered more this am from QVC. 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@psrwhite]

Jamie: how did you get past the FEAR OF REJECTION, AND GET THE STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING!! I am going to listen again; you may have given the answer, but I want you to talk about the thing that holds so many of us back: FEAR! I love your story!! Thank you Mel and Jamie!!

[@llbailey9946]

Towards the end she said, "rejection is actually protection"

[@stacycook1905]

Holy cow. Love love ❤❤❤❤❤ this podcast. Love Jaime. What a beautiful soul

[@MetalBere]

Super Interview

[@liviagrant2353]

What a FANTASTIC episode. Loved every minute of it.

[@genbug232]

QUESTION FOR JAIME: So many aspects of your story mirror my life...the knowing that you are meant for something more, the doors closing every turn you take, the supporting husband that seems to know that you're meant for something more too (even though you haven't seen the proof yet), the insecurity, crying at night, doubt etc trying to stop you. But I am at the phase of the game where all the current doors are closed and I'm trying to catch my breath, regain my strength and reposition myself so I can get clarity on my "fuzzy target". I want action steps to help me find the clarity amidst the overwhelm, when time, dollars and real world responsibility is breathing down my neck, urging me to give up on this knowing that I have a purpose to help others find their way but yet I don't know the specifics as to how to go about that when I'm still finding my way!

[@TheBlueskyson]

start running Gen, if yo don't already. That will help speed up clarity and also set up yo body chemistry to feel yo best under trying circumstances.

[@rondadavison3067]

Great questions Mel, sometimes I was irritated that you interrupted her, but then your question was so important! Thank you!

[@deviljames]

Thank-You Mel... You are GREAT

[@kaurjassu843]

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@wendybulawaagudelo5929]

This was THE most amazing conversation! Thank you Mel and Jamie for sharing insights and thoughtful points of note -- all of which encourages, supports and motivates your listeners. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!

[@terrybriese1837]

Awesome Learnings for Today. Stopping for just today of living in the hyper fear of only looking at the endings and the beginnings. Thanks Mel and Thanks Jamie

I remember her from Big Brother 1!!!😊😊

[@michelleroselilley4637]

Liked for the 100% donation to charity. God bless.

[@jenniferadderley2566]

This episode was phenomenal, my takeaway was "Your no is your knowing" . Jamie is phenomenal and a brilliant woman. She planted a seed and flourish an empire by not giving up. Her story inspired me to keep going matter how hard it gets, my steps are ordered🙏.Thank you Mel for this powerful episode and having Jamie Kern Lima as a guest on your podcast.❤❤❤❤

[@cierrablue]

OMG! A live podcast? If you ever came to Oregon, I'd be right there!

[@susanlandry3110]

Amazing and Inspiring story! Thank you sharing! I will share with my friends and family.

[@Padraigp]

And it didnt take that long ..i did half in one day. Im tired now so im going to rest instead of keep going till im exhuasted and sprained my spine.

[@cindyschnell4193]

Thanks Mel for having these conversations and asking questions that help us in our journey. Love the idea of a walk and talk!

[@Hollywood305]

It was meant for me to watch this today. It has given me so much inspiration. Definitely will listen again with my journal in hand

OMG, there are no words to describe how much I love these interviews. 😊 hugs from your Brazilian fan, who listen to your podcasts while commuting work, but today decided to SEE it at home and loved it even more! ❤

[@kristyarantes3878]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: I’m in one of the most painful seasons of my life. After 2 years of freedom from an abusive relationship, I made the choice to give it one more try. Huge mistake, huge. He did all the right things to lure me and our daughter back. Then a couple of weeks in the unrelenting cycle of abuse came harder and faster. In less than 3 months, my daughter and I have moved. Not only have we been uprooted, I’m dealing with a horrible depression after learning my entire marriage was a lie. 19 years wasted, money wasted, love wasted. But the hardest part is witnessing the toll on my 13 yo. We got out, but we are struggling physically, emotionally, mentally and financially. I have no clue where to go from here. It feels like rock bottom. After being a stay at home, devoted mom all these years, I now have to find a way to support my daughter and I. I’m so scared I’m paralyzed by inaction. How do I get up yet again?

[@Hollywood305]

You have to dig deep within. First thing is to get some income. That will make you feel a lot better and you can follow through with a plan

[@Semperstrong]

Once again, I feel like you're talking to me directly. My wife and I just got married recently. We're jumping through multiple hoops so that I can accompany her to her next duty station in Europe. At the same time, I'm trying to start a business online and finding a job to pay my bills in the meantime.

[@misss2633]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE, DO YOU KNOW THAT A WOMAN IN DULWICH, LONDON, UK, ABSOLUTELY LOVES YOU & MEL. THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR INSPIRATION ❤🖤💚

[@bumblebee7597]

I use IT cosmetics and she's hundred percent right. I am blessed with beautiful skin. I can totally do without make up but I still LOVE her products! I use her foundation that has SPF 50 as well and absolutely love it.

[@marymolloy4133]

Love your common sense and down to earth sharing. Cheers from Dublin🇮🇪

[@vickiuridge3375]

Thank you 🙏 so inspiring 💖 love everything about this. I have a tattoo on the inside of my arm which says ' believe in yourself ' which is a daily reminder to me..❤

[@itsgivinndnglam]

QUESTION FOR JAIMIE: IF WE HAD TO PUT THIS INTO A FORMULA, what order would you put the keys together and what would it equal? I used to be an accountant. I did excellent in math all throughout school. I do Native American beadwork and it requires counting numbers up. For all us number thinkers and formula users, please make a formula as simple or elaborate as you’d like. 🥰 Thank you Mel + Jaimie! I deep cleaned, rearranged my bedroom, threw out mostly everything. I knew who Jaimie is but when I seen her at the end of the video I fan-girled inside because I REMEMBER YOU! We didn’t have cable back then, however we did have QVC tv and that’s all I watched during summer break. I remember thinking as a young girl I can’t wait to grow up and wear makeup after seeing your cosmetics on tv for REAL PEOPLE! By good luck, I’ve been able to try IT cosmetics and loved my universal eyebrow pencil! I even recommended it to my coworker and she actually bought one also! We both loved it 🥰 if I would’ve known it was the same company as the one i used to see on QVC I would’ve been even more thrilled! I’m 4 months pregnant, not a care in the world about my relationship status any more + I need to come up with my mortgage payment by the end of the month. I’m a stay at home mom with two sons under age of 2. I’ve come to terms that there’s no other option than to succeed in all areas of my life from here. ✅ I just need a formula to help me follow through with my dreams! I’m restarting, refreshing, researching, reestablishing, restoring, readjusting + redirecting my entire life. My new days upcoming are going to be filled with a new reality and extra energy for my exciting projects! Thank you again for this episode and masterclass today. I’m finally going to sleep here on the west coast! Can’t wait for my question to get answered! ❤🎉

Thank you Mel, I would appreciate if you cover why even though we take all the actions and make the changes we still don’t credit ourselves for the awesome things we have done since we made these changes….it really effects the present.

[@bassdivamtm]

Thank you so much for this.

Love all your epiosodes Mel, when does it come new podcast episodes?

[@fariasaif9781]

QUESTION FOR JAMIE:Does purpose has to be solving a problem that no one has ever solved or can it be as simple as something that every one is doing right now. For example becoming a developer, becoming influencer or starting home cake buisness?

Love this but need to control the volume differences as I usually listen during insomnia.

QUESTION FOR JAMIE: As a person filled with brilliant business ideas, but not a person of action, what is your best advice or mantra to get the ball rolling & to keep it rolling?

The sound needs adjusting on the microphones because the lady on the right is much quieter than mel. When i turn up my volume to try and hear the quieter lady it makes mel way too loud.

[@emilylawrence8558]

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR JAMIE how do you pursue your dreams when you are not sure if they’re legit and too scared to step out of your comfort zone job that you hate and every time you have tried to pursue my dreams in the past I self-sabotage myself 😢.

❤❤❤

[@Onthe9thlife3730]

How do I believe in myself when I'm unable to find any work, or even a pathway, as a late diagnosed autistic/ADHD person recovering from immune system debilitating burnout and no money to spend. I've never found anything I wanted to do professional wise, I've retrained into several different industries and yet always burned out even when I didn't know what it was. I just don't have the ability anymore to just jump around trying stuff and trying to get financial security. I have to find a way to have money to come in without destroying my health or ending up in meltdowns. I also don't have anyone to help support me through this.

[@stephbli1337]

I will become a multibillionaire now!

[@GiftedManOfGod]

You can't live life moving in the same direction and at the same pace as everyone else. There will be some uncertainty in life but allow yourself the ability to pause and ask yourself what priority should this take. You also have to stay grounded and know that what you've set out to do is going to work out if you really work at it. Your purpose can be defined by what's challenged you in your life that might have caused you some self-doubt, heartache, or failures.

[@1LadyAnnabel_Official]
