How I got out of $800k of debt | What the Mel Episode 10 | Mel Robbins

Welcome to Episode 10 of #WhatTheMEL!!

#WhatTheMEL is your weekly dose of Mel unedited: inspiration, insight, advice, and of course, a lot of humor. You’ve got questions and Mel’s got a lot to say about a lot of things.

In this episode, Mel is answering questions about self confidence, recovering from bankruptcy, and most importantly, she talk about her favorite kind of sweatpants.

Mel jumps right in at 0:54 answering the first question of the episode about gaining self confidence. Find out the QUICKEST, SCIENCE-BACKED WAY to change the way you see yourself. (Here’s a hint: 🖐) The secret is that self confidence begins with YOU. No one else can give it to you. Not even Mel! She can encourage you, give you a little boost, and cheer for you - but confidence is forged WITHIN you. The best way to tap into it is to high five yourself every morning and to be honest with yourself about what you want and who you want to be.

At 9:50, Mel jumps into a question about bankruptcy. Mel describes her financial situation from 10 years ago where she was $800k in debt with leans on their house, with a car that was about to get repossessed and a debit card that had no money on it.

Being in a scary financial situation is a new level of stress. Mel shares one of the things that helped her the MOST when she was broke: She told herself, “You aren’t a bad person. You’re not a failure. You just made bad financial decisions.” You have to separate the situation you’re in from what you say about yourself as a person. There are SO many financial experts and resources out there. They helped Mel tremendously when she didn’t know where else to turn. Tap into their expertise.

And lastly, at 13:59, Mel answers our last (but not least) question: What are your favorite brand of sweatpants? The pre-reqs: an elastic waistband and POCKETS.
