In this episode, Ms. Michaela Mae unpacks the viral “Let Them Theory” popularized by Mel Robbins — but with her own nuanced twist.

She explains why, for people on a healing journey, “just letting them” can quietly turn into emotional avoidance and self-numbing. Michaela explores the difference between freedom and bypassing, showing how true peace comes from acknowledging your emotions — not suppressing them in the name of personal growth.

She also dives into the positives of the theory — like learning that other people’s actions rarely define your worth — and how to use discernment to decide when “let them” is healthy, and when it’s just another layer of protection.
