The Mel Robbins Podcast

You are getting the ultimate guide to skincare and skin health.
In today’s episode, a Mayo Clinic dermatologist will reveal the 5 small habits for healthier, younger, and more radiant skin.
Whether you're dealing with dry skin, wrinkles, dark spots, acne, thinning hair, or your skin suddenly seems to be aging overnight, this episode is for you.
Dr. Saranya Wyles, MD PhD, one of the leading dermatologists and physician-scientists at Mayo Clinic, is here with the science, the 5 specific things you can do to improve your skin health, and the truth about what works… and what doesn't.
Dr. Wyles studies the connection between your skin, aging, and overall health. And she's going to change the way you think about skincare.
Because your skin isn't just about how you look. It's the largest organ in your body, and it can serve as a check engine light for your health.
What your skin may be telling you about inflammation, hormones, and underlying health conditions.
What helps your skin repair itself and what accelerates aging.
What's worth your money and what isn't.
In today's episode, you're going to learn how to recognize important changes in your skin, protect it as you age, and take better care of your overall health.
Dr. Wyles covers everything from collagen and skin aging to hormones, inflammation, sunscreen, skincare products, and the latest treatments everyone's talking about online.
And she doesn't just tell you what might be wrong. She gives you clear, science-backed steps you can take to protect your skin and support your health.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- The warning signs in your skin you shouldn't ignore
- How certain skin conditions may be connected to heart disease, diabetes, and inflammation
- The 5 small habits that support healthier skin and better aging
- What happens to your skin during perimenopause and menopause, and what you can do about it

If you want stronger relationships with the people in your life, there’s one skill you can get better at right now: empathy.

Empathy isn’t just something you feel. It’s something you practice – in the small, everyday moments when someone needs to feel understood, supported, remembered, or cared for.
In this episode, Mel teaches you 4 simple, research-backed ways to practice empathy and build more trust, connection, and closeness with your partner, family, friends, coworkers, and even people you’ve just met.
You’ll learn how to stop assuming you know what someone is feeling and truly understand them.
You’ll see how to turn the thought “I should reach out” into real connection.
And you’ll know how to show up for someone who is struggling without putting the burden on them to tell you what they need.
Mel also shares fascinating research on connection, a powerful lesson from organizational psychologist Adam Grant on the small gestures that strengthen relationships, and an unforgettable story from the late Judge Frank Caprio about what it really means to see the person standing in front of you.
You’ll learn:
-The simple question that can help someone feel truly understood
-How to get people to open up to you without pushing
-How to stop overthinking and finally reach out
-A better way to support someone who’s overwhelmed
-How to show up for people in the good moments, too
-The small actions that quietly build trust over time
- How to create more moments of connection in your everyday life
Strong relationships are built in the small moments. And when you start showing up differently in those moments, you don’t just make someone else’s life better.

You make your own life better, too.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to change direction, start over, trust yourself, or create a life that feels more like you, you need to hear this conversation.
Today, Mel is joined by the one and only Ina Garten.
You know her as the Barefoot Contessa: beloved cookbook author, television host, entrepreneur, and one of the most trusted voices in food and entertaining.
But the story of how Ina created this life is the part you need to hear.
Because Ina did not start out with some master plan to build an iconic career.
She changed direction.
She took risks.
She trusted her instincts.
And she built an extraordinary life by paying attention to what she loved, having the courage to walk away from what wasn’t working, and refusing to follow somebody else’s definition of success.
This conversation is about so much more than food.
It’s about reinvention.
It’s about trusting yourself before you have proof that things will work out.
It’s about knowing when a chapter of your life is over.
And it’s about creating a life that feels good to live, not just one that looks impressive from the outside.
Ina also shares what she has learned about confidence, marriage, friendship, ambition, failure, and why some of the best decisions of your life may make absolutely no sense to anyone else.
You’ll learn:
-How to know when it’s time to make a change in your life
-Why you don’t need to have your entire future figured out
-How Ina learned to trust her own taste and instincts
-What decades of marriage have taught her about lasting love
-Why taking a risk can completely change the direction of your life
-How to stop chasing somebody else’s version of success
-The importance of doing more of what comes naturally to you
This is a conversation about having the courage to make your life your own.
And whether you’re 25, 45, 65, or somewhere in between, Ina’s story is the reminder you may need right now:
You are allowed to change your mind.
You are allowed to want something different.
And you are never too far into your life to create a new chapter.

Today, you are getting a step-by-step guide on how to change your brain.
Joining Mel is neuroscientist Dr. Lara Boyd, a professor at the University of British Columbia who directs the Brain Behaviour Lab there.
This #1 neuroscientist will teach you how to rewire your brain at any age.
There's a personal reason she's devoted her life to this work.
Before becoming a neuroscientist, Dr. Boyd was a physical therapist. She spent three months unsuccessfully trying to help a man with a brain injury learn to walk again.
Frustrated by how little she understood what was happening inside his brain, Dr. Boyd quit her job, got her PhD in neuroscience, and dedicated her career to figuring out how the brain learns and changes.
Her message is incredibly hopeful:
You are never too old, too late, or too set in your ways to change who you are and what you’re capable of.
But becoming who you want to be doesn’t happen by accident.
Dr. Boyd reveals what really reshapes your brain, what happens when you challenge yourself to do hard things, and how to make what you practice stick.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-How to rewire your brain at any age
-How doing challenging things can help your brain learn and change
-The #1 driver of change in your brain
-The daily habit that Dr. Boyd calls “rocket fuel” for your brain
-How to prime your brain for success and the truth about manifestation
-How to make lasting change, even if you’ve felt stuck for years
Class is in session, because after you listen to this, your brain will not be the same.

What are you not doing because you’re afraid nobody will notice?
In this episode, you’re going to learn one of the most important career skills nobody teaches you: how to make sure your work, ideas, and contributions get seen.
Today, Mel sits down with Professor Marina Cooley, an award-winning professor at Emory University’s Goizueta Business School who teaches marketing and the attention economy: how to break through the noise, make your ideas memorable, and get people to pay attention.
Because doing great work is not enough if nobody knows you’re doing it.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but no one seems to notice, watched someone else get the job, raise, or recognition you wanted, or hated the idea of talking about yourself because “self-promotion” feels gross, this conversation is for you.
Professor Cooley will teach you how to move through that fear and put yourself out there anyway.
This conversation is packed with small, practical strategies that work even if you’re quiet, introverted, hate attention, or have spent your entire career hoping your work would speak for itself.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to stop being overlooked without becoming someone you’re not
- How to communicate your wins without feeling like you’re bragging
- Why great work alone won’t necessarily get you promoted
- How to build a “portable reputation” that follows you throughout your career
- The “3-second test” that reveals whether people understand what you do and the problems you solve
- What to do before meetings so your ideas and contributions get noticed
- How to get strategic about your work so your effort leads to real advancement
- How to put yourself out there when you’re afraid nobody will care
Whether you want to get hired, get promoted, grow your business, share your work, or finally get recognition for what you’re already doing, this episode will show you how to stop hiding and start making sure the right people know what you can do.
