Create a Happier Version of Yourself: Redirect Your Energy for Positive Thinking

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. All right, I have a personal story that I am dying to share with you. And I'm also really excited because our 21 year old son Oakley is gonna be joining me on this episode, and you are gonna get so much out of this. So here's the story. A couple weekends ago, our son came home, he's a sophomore in college.

And I was so shocked at how happy he was. And the reason I was shocked is because he's been miserable at school for about 18 months, like the lowest I have ever seen my son in his entire life. And it makes you realize that I guess you never truly understand just how sad someone is until you see them happy again. And it's been so hard to watch him struggle in college. Like I'm like, maybe you should transfer.

Maybe you're in the wrong place. Maybe you made a mistake. You can't find your people. You're just so unhappy. And as hard as it's been for me and for my husband, Chris, to watch him struggle, I know it's a lot harder to be the person that's unhappy.
