Mel Robbins BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Mel Robbins has spent the past few days doing what she does best, but with the volume turned way up on both gravitas and visibility. The most biographically significant move is her leap from podcast fame to Hollywood hardware: the Vermont outlet Seven Days reports that Robbins has been nominated for the first ever Golden Globes award for Best Podcast, putting The Mel Robbins Podcast in direct competition with juggernauts like Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard, Call Her Daddy, SmartLess, Good Hang With Amy Poehler, and NPRs Up First. That nomination, tied to the 83rd Golden Globes, formally cements her shift from motivational speaker to mainstream media force, and outlets are already framing the show as one of the worlds most popular, with more than 40 million followers, and her book The Let Them Theory as on pace to have the best nonfiction launch of all time, according to Seven Days.
On the content front, Robbins has turned somber and strategic. iHeartRadio and YouTube both pushed her new long form episode What Nobody Tells You About Grief and Loss, released December 18, where she sits down with grief expert and bestselling author David Kessler to unpack the psychology of loss, complicated grief, and the way guilt and sudden waves of sadness can derail a life. The episode is being promoted heavily across her podcast feeds and social channels as a definitive guide to surviving grief, suggesting a pivot into deeper therapeutic terrain rather than the quick hit habit hacks she built her brand on.
Tied to that, she quietly launched a new business facing lead magnet: a free 20 page workbook to help you make 2026 a great year, offered through her site melrobbins.com as a gift to podcast listeners, as described on the iHeart episode page and the official YouTube description. That move, paired with the ongoing promotion of The Let Them Theory as the 1 best selling book of 2025 in the YouTube copy, underscores a coordinated push by her media company 143 Studios to convert podcast reach into long tail product and publishing revenue.
As for social media, YouTube shows fresh promotional clips and timestamps from the grief episode, and the podcast pages are driving followers to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn; however, there are no widely reported controversies or viral dust ups tied to her name in the last few days. Any chatter about private appearances or unannounced deals at this point would be pure speculation and remains unconfirmed by major outlets.
