Feel like giving up? Before you say F*** It, listen to this.

The Mel Robbins Podcast

Jan 9 2023 • 41 mins

This is the pep talk you need.

Change is hard.

Which means you’re going to want to quit or give up.

I call those moments F*** It Moments.

Today’s episode is a little different because you’re going to hear me get in someone’s face who is about to throw in the towel on a big goal and a promise that she has made.

When you hear me coach her, it will be like I’m coaching you.

And once you’re done listening, I promise you won’t be saying F*** it, you’ll be saying F*** yes.
