About this podcast

In this powerful and essential episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, host Mel Robbins sits down with the renowned Dr. Becky Kennedy, a #1 New York Times bestselling author and clinical psychologist. This conversation is deemed 'required listening' for everyone, regardless of whether they have children, as it delves deep into the origins of our emotional triggers.

Dr. Becky Kennedy, acclaimed for her work on parenting, reveals that our triggers are often 'stories from our past' – experiences from early childhood, even before we could speak, that hardwired our responses. Together, Mel and Dr. Becky explore why adults react the way they do, linking present-day struggles like anxiety, reactivity, or imposter syndrome to adaptive patterns formed in early years. They provide simple, yet profound, tools and strategies to help listeners understand these deeply ingrained patterns and, crucially, learn how to repair and rewire their emotional responses.

This episode promises to empower you to take control of your emotional life, fostering calm, peace, and stronger relationships by addressing the root causes of your reactions. Discover how to identify and mend the 'crap that went down in your childhood' and unlock a path to a more present and fulfilled adult life.
