How to Become the Person You’ve Always Wanted to Be

Hey. It's your friend, Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. Have you ever gotten on a plane? And as you're passing through first class, you kinda look around and think, Oh, this would be nice. But then you just shrug your shoulders and you walk all the way to the back of the plane and you're like, Oh, excuse me, sweetie. I'm right there in the middle seat. Thank you. Can you imagine a world where instead of looking around and saying that would be nice and then you dismiss your chance of getting it, you actually stop and look around and say, you know what?

But most of all, Chelsea's gonna talk about the confidence that comes when you give yourself permission to want what you want and be unapologetically who you are. Chelsea's gonna tell you, you have a reservoir of strength that you don't even know about, but you're gonna learn today how to tap into it. Hey.
