Ep. 52 - The Let Them Theory, Part 2

In the second of a two-part series about Mel Robbin’s The Let Them Theory, Erin and Kelley discuss how the theories apply to adult relationships: How do adults make friends? Why is it so much harder than when we’re kids? (Hint: It’s NOT just because of work!) And, what can we do to create more meaningful relationships in our lives?

Underlying all of this is a very powerful cognitive behavior that has been proven to decrease anxiety, improve mood, and generally make people happier!


**HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT**

At the end of the episode, Kelley announces a new project we’re working on…. We’re inviting our listeners to read along with us as we start working through Oliver Burkeman’s new book!  We’ll launch details VERY soon… keep an eye on our socials and our website!
