Despite our best efforts to persuade them to do, say and be what we want, they persist in upending our plans by making their own decisions, being their own people and thinking their own thoughts.

Enter: the Let Them theory.

The concept was recently popularized by motivational speaker and self-help guru Mel Robbins.

We have created our own ‘let them’ bracelet to remind you of the simple but effective way to not let others control your thoughts and feelings.
