The Mel Robbins Podcast

In this episode, you are going to learn how to have amazing sex, deeper intimacy, and create real, lasting love. 
If you’re not having sex, or if sex feels like one more thing on the to-do list, this is what you need to hear right now.
Today, Mel sits down with Dr. Nicole McNichols, PhD, a University of Washington professor who teaches the most popular class on campus – which is about human sexuality.
There is a reason she is the country’s #1 sex professor. Her message is simple: nothing is “wrong” with you. 
You were just never taught how desire actually works, what turns you on, or how women’s pleasure is even designed. 
Dr. McNichols will change the way you think about arousal, orgasm, and intimacy, including the mind-blowing truth that women’s anatomy has been misunderstood for decades. Did you know the clitoris wasn’t fully mapped until the early 2000s?
This episode is the sex advice women actually need. 
This is not another conversation about how to please your partner, it’s not about performing, pushing through, or “fixing” yourself. It’s about pleasure, connection, and learning the skills that make sex feel good again at any age, and in real life.
 
You will learn:
-Why desire often shows up after you start, and what to do when you love your partner but “don’t feel like it”
-The biggest sex misconception keeping couples stuck (and how to rebuild without pressure)
-What most people never learned about the clitoris, arousal, and why penetrative sex alone isn’t the main path to orgasm
-How to stop faking orgasms and start communicating in ways that actually work
-The simplest way to rebuild intimacy when you’re exhausted, stressed, or parenting with zero privacy
-What to do if menopause, dryness, or pain is making sex feel impossible (and why you should not just “live with it”)
-How to get out of your head if body image has hijacked your sex life
-How to date again and rebuild confidence after a long dry spell, without forcing yourself into hookups
 
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too tired,” “I love them but I’m not in the mood,” “It hurts,” “My body changed,” or “It’s been so long I don’t even know where to start,” this episode will give you language, relief, and a way forward.
 
Dr. McNichols’ book is You Could Be Having Better Sex and after this conversation, you will.

Ever stood in front of the fridge thinking, “What am I actually supposed to eat to get healthy?” 
Today you are getting your answer. 
This episode gives you a simple way to decide what to eat to stay healthy without complicated math, crazy recipes, or “bro science”. 
In this episode, Mel sits down with Dr. Amy Shah, MD. Dr. Shah is a leading expert in the role nutrition plays in health, longevity, and hormone regulation. She has been in clinical practice for 22 years as a double-board certified medical doctor with specializations in nutrition, internal medicine, and immunology. She has a degree in nutrition and trained at Cornell University, Harvard University, and Columbia University. 
She is the author of two bestselling books about nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle changes, including her newest book, Hormone Havoc. 
She’s also one of your favorite experts to ever appear on this show – and today she’s back with a brand new episode to give you a simple, science-backed framework you can remember even on your busiest day. 
It’s called 30/30/3. 
It’s designed to help you feel better fast, support your hormones, stabilize your energy, and make meals simpler without tracking, obsessing, or living on willpower. 
Mel and Dr. Shah talk about why these matter for women’s bodies and hormones, how to make it realistic with normal groceries, and what small shifts can start changing how you feel faster than you’d expect. 
By the end, you’ll know what to eat today to support your body, and the foods you should avoid. 
In this episode, you’ll learn:
-The 30/30/3 protocol: 30g protein in your first meal, 30g fiber per day, 3 probiotic foods daily 
-Why protein is for more than muscles: it supports mood, focus, gut lining, and energy and cuts your cravings 
-The quick label trick to spot foods that claim protein but don’t deliver 
-Common “health foods” that quietly sabotage your goals. 
-How fiber impacts hormones, inflammation, and brain health 
-The probiotic foods that actually count (and why probiotic pills often don’t work) 
-Tiny food upgrades that can help your gut health improve quickly 
-How to eat healthy without tracking your life or living on salads. 
Almost all “healthy eating” advice is either confusing, unrealistic, or focused on getting smaller, not getting stronger, happier, and energized.
This is a simple, research-backed roadmap that makes healthy eating finally feel doable.
 If you want clarity, simplicity, and a plan you’ll remember tomorrow, start here.

This episode is for you: the person holding everything together. 
If your days are packed with work, caregiving, and nonstop demands, this is what you need to hear right now. 
Today, Mel sits down with one of the world’s leading experts on time management, Laura Vanderkam. She’s a New York Times bestselling author, a researcher who’s studied thousands of real schedules, a mom of five, and a total realist about how busy life can get. 
Laura Vanderkam’s approach isn’t “do more.” Laura’s not selling hacks. She gives you a clearer map of your days and a few small changes that reduce the chaos and help you feel more in control.
When you’re maxed out, Laura says you don’t need “more time,” you need to stop spending your limited time on default. 
Laura helps you see the small, real openings in your week and she shows you exactly what to do with them so you feel less trapped and a little more in control. 
This is not a lecture about hustling harder or optimizing your life. It’s a practical reset that will help you feel less behind and it will lighten your load fast. 
You will:
-Find hidden pockets of time already in your schedule
-Choose what matters most (without guilt)
-Use one habit that creates more breathing room
-Make space for what you keep putting off (even with a full-time job)
-End your day with more energy instead of more exhaustion
If you’ve ever thought, “I have no free time,” “I’m always behind,” or “I don’t even know where to start,” this episode will change the way you look at your week and help you take back a little more control.
Because when your time feels calmer, everything feels a little more doable.
And when you learn to take control of your time, you start taking control of your life.

Today, Mel has one of the most powerful conversations you’ll ever hear on this podcast. 
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, exhausted, or numb by what you’re seeing in the news, today’s episode is for you. 
When life feels uncertain, it’s easy to start pulling back, numbing out, and bracing for the next thing. 
You’re not alone. 
That’s why you need to hear from Mel’s guest today, Bryan Stevenson. 
He is one of Mel’s personal heroes, and he is the kind of human being who restores your faith in what’s possible. 
Bryan is a world-renowned civil rights lawyer and author of Just Mercy, one of the most powerful books of our time, which was turned into a movie in which Michael B. Jordan played Bryan. 
He is the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and has argued and won cases before the United States Supreme Court. 
He has saved over 140 people from death row, many of whom were wrongly convicted, and his work has fundamentally transformed the conversation about justice, mercy, and human dignity. 
This is one of the most honest, compassionate, and uplifting conversations Mel has ever had with a guest, which is why today, Mel wanted to share again the conversation she had with him. 
You’ll learn: 
-How to stay hopeful without denying reality 
-Why compassion is a form of courage 
-What resilience looks like when life is hard 
-How to find purpose and meaning by helping others 
-How to stop numbing out and start showing up again 
-How small actions create real change 
-Exactly what you can do in your community to make a difference 
Bryan is here to show you how to look deeper within yourself and to stand up even when the world is telling you to sit down.
And in doing that, he’ll remind you that hope might just be the most powerful gift you can give to the world, to other people, and to yourself.
