    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, you’re going to learn the life lessons most people learn too late.

    This episode will teach you exactly what matters most in life.

    Because in this powerful conversation, Dr. Rahul Jandial, MD, Ph.D. – a world-renowned cancer neurosurgeon and neuroscientist – shares the #1 regret he’s heard from more than 15,000 patients at the end of their lives.

    Dr. Rahul 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 he directs a research lab focused on developing cutting-edge neuroscience and cancer treatments.

    Today, he is going to share what matters most when time is limited: what people wish they’d done sooner, what they wish they’d stopped caring about, and what becomes crystal clear at the end of life - including why so many of us wait too long to start living the life we truly want, and how to shift that starting now.

    In this episode, he also shares his own story - from college dropout to security guard to neurosurgeon - and how reinventing his life taught him to go after more and trust himself.

    This episode is both a wake-up call and a lifeline to hold if you are navigating chaos, facing brutal news, or experiencing a hard time.

    In this episode you will learn:

    -How to stop postponing the life you want and start making better decisions

    -What to do when life hits you hard, including a diagnosis, a layoff, a breakup, or the loss of someone you love

    -How to get through the first hours after brutal news without spiraling or panicking

    -What to do if you are overwhelmed and not sure what to focus on

    -A simple daily practice so you can handle chaos with more control

    -How to bet on yourself even when other people don’t understand it

     After this episode, you're going to know exactly what matters most in life and how to find the mindset you need when life hits you with something you didn’t see coming.
