    If Nothing Seems to Be Going Your Way, Listen to This
    Mar 26 2026

    Life doesn’t always go according to plan.

    And even the changes you choose can bring uncertainty, questions, and moments where you wonder what’s next.

    Today’s episode will show you how to move forward and find something better on the other side.

    In it, Mel sits down with Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist, expert on change, and New York Times bestselling author, for a powerful conversation about why change feels so hard and, more importantly, how to move on to become an even stronger, wiser version of yourself.

    If you’re trying to figure out how to leave the past behind and reinvent yourself when life doesn’t go the way you planned, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are – and help you see what’s possible.

    Together, Mel and Dr. Shankar unpack the science behind rebuilding when life takes an unexpected turn – and why you don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward. By the end, you’ll understand how to reshape the way you see yourself, stop negative thoughts from taking over, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

    You’ll learn:

    -How to leave the past in the past

    -The reset to help you start over after a setback

    -How to stop your mind from spiraling

    -Real motivation strategies to make change easier when you feel tired, stressed, or stuck

    - The reassuring mindset shift for more confidence and peace

    This episode will give you the mental reset and the tools you need to restart your life, move forward, and step into who you’re meant to be.

  • The Ultimate Guide to Women’s Sexual Health, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Menopause

    The Ultimate Guide to Women’s Sexual Health, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) & Menopause
    Mar 23 2026
    This episode is a MUST listen. Mel calls it one of the most important conversations she has ever had on The Mel Robbins Podcast. Most women don’t know this, and this information could save the life of a woman you love. If you are thinking you’re “fine,” while quietly suffering through symptoms that are treatable, you probably don’t know this life-saving medical fact either. Today, Mel is joined by Dr. Rachel Rubin, MD, a leading urologist and sexual health expert, to talk about hormones, menopause, libido, pelvic health, UTIs, and what’s happening in your body. In fact, since recording this episode, the majority of women on the team have spoken to their doctors about what Dr. Rubin shared. You’re about to hear what she wishes every woman knew sooner: Almost every issue that you're dealing with “down there” is likely related to changing hormones. If you’ve ever dealt with a UTI, leaking, urgency, dryness, painful sex, or that feeling that something is “off” down there, and you’ve been told it’s normal, it’s aging, or it’s just something you have to live with, this episode could change your life and have you asking, Why have I not heard this before? Do not learn this too late. By the time most women get the right information, they have already lost years to pain, discomfort, anxiety, and unnecessary treatments. No matter how old you are, all women need to understand this information. In this episode, you’ll learn: -Why recurring UTIs, urgency, frequency, and leakage are often hormonal, not “just sex” or “just aging”, and they can be fixed -What GSM (genitourinary syndrome) is, and how it impacts women in perimenopause, menopause, during breastfeeding, and even while using birth control -The safe, evidence-backed treatment that can prevent UTIs by more than half, and why almost no one tells women about it -Why many women need testosterone as a natural way to increase libido, mood, energy, orgasm, and the feeling of “I’m back” -That 1 in 4 women have a treatable condition that prevents orgasm, and why doctors don’t know how to check it, diagnose it, or treat it This is the conversation that will make you understand your body differently, and realize you have been tolerating things you do not have to tolerate. If you’re a woman in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, this is information you deserve to have now. Your health should not be a mystery. You should not have to suffer. This conversation will give you the truth about your health and may even save your life or the lives of a woman you love.

  • This One Episode Will Change How You Think About the World & Your Life (From #1 Cancer Surgeon)

    This One Episode Will Change How You Think About the World & Your Life (From #1 Cancer Surgeon)
    Mar 19 2026
    Today’s episode will change how you think about your entire life. Because today you’re meeting a top cancer surgeon who’s going to help you think about one of life’s big questions - the kind you don’t usually ask yourself because you’re just too busy: What really matters in life? Maybe you’ve been feeling off. Like you’re doing a lot… but you’re not sure it’s the right stuff. Maybe you’re craving clarity… what to focus on and what to stop wasting your time on. Well that’s the kind of guidance you’re getting today. In this powerful conversation Mel is sitting down with Dr. Rahul Jandial, MD, PhD - a world-renowned cancer neurosurgeon and neuroscientist - who has treated and operated on more than 15,000 stage 4 cancer patients at the end of their lives. So in this conversation, you’ll hear what becomes clear when time is running out: - What people wish they’d done sooner - What they wish they’d stopped caring about - What matters - and what never mattered at all - And the number one regret he hears from his patients again and again You’ll also learn why so many of us wait until it’s almost too late to start living the life we want… and how to change that - starting today. Dr. Jandial is the Medical Director of Neurosurgical Oncology and Skull Base Surgery at City of Hope in Los Angeles, one of the leading cancer centers in the world. He operates on brain cancers and spinal tumors in both adults and children, and directs a research lab focused on developing cutting-edge neuroscience and cancer treatments. Dr. Jandial has also lived through unbelievable twists and turns - from college dropout, to security guard, to becoming one of the most respected surgeons in the world - and today he shares what reinventing his life taught him about going after more and trusting yourself. In this episode, he will teach you how to find your footing again and build the kind of strength that will get you through any setback. What Dr. Jandial reveals in this episode is something he’s never shared on any podcast. In this episode, you’ll learn: - A simple daily practice that helps you remain steady, no matter what’s happening - How to handle bad news without spiraling or panicking - What to do first when you’re overwhelmed and don’t know what to focus on - How to bet on yourself even when other people don’t understand it - How to stop waiting for “someday” and start showing up more fully right now This conversation will shift your mindset so you stop waiting for ‘someday’ and start showing up more fully right now. Because once you hear it, you’ll see your life and the world differently. For more resources related to today’s episode, click here for the podcast episode page.
