The Mel Robbins Podcast

This episode is a MUST listen. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck, small, or tired of letting fear dictate your life, you need to hit play. 

This is the most eye-opening, empowering conversation you’ll hear this year. 

It’s time to stop playing small. 

There’s a bigger possibility for your life, you are more capable than you know, and you can manifest the future you want. 

Today’s episode will show you how. 

In it, Mel is joined by Shonda Rhimes. 

Shonda is one of the most powerful voices in entertainment history. She’s the creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and the Executive Producer of Bridgerton and How To Get Away With Murder. She’s won Golden Globes, Emmys, broken records, and built Shondaland, a global storytelling empire. 

But this is not a conversation about groundbreaking TV shows. It’s about taking your life back. 

Shonda reveals that despite all her success, she was still living in fear. Still hiding. 

And in this conversation, Shonda will challenge you to do the same things she started doing: to stop doubting yourself, stop waiting for permission, and start saying YES, even when it’s terrifying. 

This is a masterclass in courage, clarity, and finding your power. 

By the time it’s over, you won’t just believe change is possible. You’ll know it is. 

Because the life you want? It’s on the other side of YES. 

And it starts right now.

The Secret to Stopping Fear & Creating the Future You Want with Shonda Rhimes

What if the most powerful tool for saving time, making money, and transforming your life was already right in front of you? 

And yet you’re most likely using it incorrectly or not using it at all. 

That tool is AI – artificial intelligence. 

Have you noticed: it seems like everybody is talking about AI everywhere you turn? 

You’re already living with it every single day, whether you notice it or not. So, you might as well be the one in charge of how you use it. 

That’s why Mel has been searching for the right expert to come on the show to empower you, step by step, on how you can best use AI to benefit your life. 

That’s what you’ll hear today from Allie K. Miller, who Mel calls “The AI Whisperer” because she is in the ear advising some of the world’s leading brands on AI. 

Allie launched the first multimodal AI team at IBM, was the Global Head of AI for Startups and Venture Capital at Amazon Web Services, is the most-followed AI voice on LinkedIn and one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in AI. 

And she isn’t here to scare you about artificial intelligence. She’s here to show you how to use it in ways that can improve your life, starting today. 

Allie breaks down how AI actually works, what it can do for your day-to-day life, and how you can use it to make your days better and easier. 

You don’t need to be a coder or a tech person to follow along. Mel is right there with you as a beginner to AI. 

Allie explains it all clearly, with real-life examples. In fact, if you’ve ever felt behind on technology or overwhelmed by the hype, this episode will leave you feeling empowered. 

It’s time for a real, human conversation about AI – one that will give you the truth, the confidence, and the step-by-step moves that will help you take control of your time, your money, and your life.
