Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Hey, it's Mel. I am so happy that you're here with me today. And here's why. I know by the time that you're done listening and we're done spending time together, you're just gonna feel a lot better.

And I can say that because there is a particular word that I keep seeing in the emails that your fellow listeners are sending. I see this in the polls that we do online on social media. I'm seeing it in comments. And that word that I keep seeing, exhaustion. You've been caring too much, thinking too much, worrying too much, and you're tired.

The kind of tiredness that comes from taking care of everyone else while trying to be okay for everyone. trying to stay on top of everything, trying to fix what you can't fix, and holding yourself to some invisible standard like you're supposed to have it all handled. Let me share a lesson with you that I personally have to keep on relearning. You don't have to earn rest. You don't have to earn peace.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
