单集简介 ...

Today’s episode is a deeply honest conversation about what it takes to let go of mistakes, forgive yourself, leave your past in the past, and create a new version of you.  In this moving episode, Mel sits down with her friend Carl Lentz, a former megachurch pastor, who watched his life implode in real time.  Carl doesn’t dodge the truth: His actions shattered trust, cost him his career, and nearly destroyed his family.  But this is not a story about scandal.  It’s about what you do after the worst moment of your life.  It’s about the courage to face what you’ve done, to stop running, to forgive yourself — and to rebuild something stronger from the wreckage.  Carl doesn’t pretend to have it all figured out. What he offers is honesty without excuses, wisdom forged in pain, and a raw invitation to stop letting your past dictate your future.  If you’ve made mistakes, if you’re struggling to forgive someone, if you're trying to put the pieces back together, this conversation will meet you right where you are.  Because you are not your worst moment.  And your next chapter is still yours to write.  For more resources, click here for the podcast episode page.  If you liked this episode and want to know more about how to write that next chapter, listen to this episode next: How to Find Your Purpose & Design the Life You Want Connect with Mel:    Get Mel’s #1 bestselling book, The Let Them TheoryWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Mel on Instagram The Mel Robbins Podcast InstagramMel's TikTok Sign up for Mel’s personal letter Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes ad-freeDisclaimer

  • Are there things from your past that you're trying to outrun or a chapter of your life that you just don't want to talk about or think about anymore?

  • A moment you regret so deeply?

  • Maybe it was a lie, a betrayal, a decision you can't undo.

  • Maybe you hurt someone or maybe the person that you hurt was yourself.

  • Whatever it is, I'm gonna tell you something.

  • You can't outrun it, out drink it, out ignore it.

  • And if you're tired of feeling the weight of shame or guilt or just unsure

  • if you'll ever feel happy again,

  • let's talk about it.

  • Let's talk about what it actually takes to forgive yourself when you mess up.

  • And I'm not talking about like a oops, I made a mistake kind of way.

  • I'm talking about the real gut wrenching, I hurt people I love kind of way.

  • This conversation today, is about those moments that split your life into a before and after.

  • Here's the truth.

  • You can't heal what you won't face,

  • and you can't move forward by pretending the past never happened.

  • Today,

  • you and I are going to dive deep into the heart of what it means to own your mistakes when you know what you did was wrong and finally forgive yourself and move on.
