Don't Let Them with Robyn & Alyse - Why we named this series Don't Let Them and Making Fun of LinkedIn

“Don’t let them fool you into thinking there’s something wrong with you because you can’t do the thing they say is so easy.”This is the second episode of Don’t Let Them, my monthly series with Robyn McKay—and in true form, we’re coming in hot. We’re talking about why we named the series Don’t Let Them (yes, it’s a cheeky nod to Mel Robbins), how pop-spirituality can actually do harm, and why oversimplified advice like “just let them” can become another form of gaslighting when it lacks nuance and context.Robyn and I dive deep into what it means to hold real integrity in the personal development space, how so many leaders are just regurgitating recycled content, and why so much of the advice being sold today isn’t trauma-informed—or even that helpful. We also take a playful detour into the world of LinkedIn, sharing our personal pet peeves, our biggest “icks,” and how spiritual entrepreneurs are missing the mark with cold DMs and Barbie-pink GIFs.This is your permission slip to stop trying to fit yourself into boxes that were never made for you.
