As a black man dealing with his mental health. The expression: to open up your cabinets to not only recognize your ingredients, but to use those ingredients to open up who you really are. That really resonated with me. I’m 61 and I’m still trying to identify who I am, so I can really take off as a viable human being. I really appreciated this podcast.
Whoahow. What a powerful moment of experience. I feel so grateful you are sharing. I’ll pray for you. Thank you. I’m grateful to God for you today and this contribution you have made.
You're not reading this by accident this is a confirmation that everything is going to be alright GOD is making a way for you right now at this moment!🙏🙏🙏
As someone questioning why I’m still here and for what after losing my dad to brain cancer in 2017, younger sis to suicide in 2019 and older sis in 2020, everyone left me. I wanted to go too and be with them. Then to hear her tell us that most of us underestimate how necessary our existence is was the most beautiful and eloquent thing I have ever heard. Thank you
I'm sorry for all your loss, especially so close. Sometimes it can hurt so bad. That part really resonated with me too! 💖✨ Cheers to never letting us underestimate our existence and when we do to find our way again😊
My condolences on all that you suffered in such a short period of time… I’ve been there. I pray you stay close to The Spirit and to content such as this, so that you may continue on the road of peace and healing.🙏🏽🌻
Flowing through us all. In following up with Mel said, I immediately became aware that God keeps using something that we is humans keep hiding from which is sexuality to reveal to us. The greatness that we are so with her was a pregnancy with others it may have been a molestation with others it may have been a rape. But there is revelation in it all.
I'm sitting in my car weeping as this couldn't have come at a better time. I've been a Christian all my life but have never been able to feel worthy of myself and look upon myself with compassion. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your message and I will be making an effort to sit with myself so I can show up in the world as an authentic human being.
Me too! She has such a clear way of explaining why self-acceptance instead of shameful self-punishment for our “failures” is not God’s will for us! Shame and humiliation is not the humility and sense of mission that God created us for!
The way God uses Sarah Jakes Roberts never ceases to amaze me. I’m a 6‘2“/ 215 pound male and there’s something about her story and how God’s hand has been in it throughout that makes me weep like a child whose brand new bike just got stolen right from under him. Just amazing!
Over 300 years of enslavement has left an unbearable legacy that many dare not speak its name and not only in African American Communities! You see that level of trauma has never been rectified in the way it should? When you really think about it the "collective memory" that people of colour holds it makes you wonder when can deep healing begin? I realised this when I listened recently to a conversation with the late "Native American" John Trudell who spoke about his experiences and the oppression of his people and his own suffering that he went through. America has to come to terms with her sins before her country can become whole. The recent election of Donald J Trump proves it still has a very long way to go? This goes way beyond Sarah Jakes Roberts story, God Bless her and God Bless America for God only know she will need it!
Thank you Mel for having Sara on! I got pregnant at 16 and up until this moment have never forgiven myself for multiple reasons that I didnt understand ! I am now 78 ! Thank you Sara for sharing ! I love you both♥️♥️🙏🏻🫶🏻
I want to have same intentions- I have been punished by me far more than anything or anyone else for 12-15 years or more. I see you and feel that we have to let COMPASSION AND LOVE replace guilt
Mel, these videos have been so therapeutic for me lately. I've been struggling for the past 4 years. I work in pubkic health, so the pandemic was a nightmare. My husband and I have had a lot of bad wvebts happen. My mom is very ill. I'm going through menopause. I feel angry, sad, anxious, an impending sense of doom and like I haven't achieved anything. These videos help me taje a step back and stop ruminating and realize it's okay to stop, set boundaries, say no, and prioritize my needs.
I took a walk this morning and after a long time of not praying or talking to god I asked him about everything and asked for answers. And interestingly came across this video. Already in ten minutes I know this is something god needs me to hear
Looking at 13 year old me , who was so sad and insecure. Holding her hand and saying babe you will be alright. Despite the insecurities and the bullying and identity crisis. You are doing okay and you can now stand up for yourself. ❤you did the best you could with the tools and knowledge you had. Now that I know better I can now do better. ❤
I am a retired labor and delivery nurse, and I have been in the room so many times with 12 to 14 year old mothers giving birth. There was always a sense of grief in the room, emanating from her mother or caretaker. This is an extraordinary young woman.
As a 60 year old woman who's had struggles and ups and downs just like everyone else, I sat here crying over so many things this beautiful soul Sarah has said. Things I never grasped or saw in myself but now can start to see clear on how to forgive myself. So many things that were locked in that cabinet a long time ago that I didn't want to look at but realize I will never move forward and into who I am supposed to be without owning all those messy shameful ingredients. I also see that those things are probably only messy and shameful to me because I allowed them to be or allowed others to tell me they were. Thank you so much Mel and Sarah. Big Fat Aha Moments throughout this message!
Rachel, I felt your honesty in your words. I'm a 58 year old woman who completely understands. Our journeys are similar, but I can't carry it anymore and let others tell my story. I'm here, I'm alive, I love and most of all God loves me. Thank you, thank you, God bless you.
God led me to this today for a reason. I cried through a lot of this podcast. This was one of the hardest days I've ever had with wondering why am I here...what is my purpose. Thank you!
Not only do i love Mel's content, but I also love the fact that this is a space where, for the most part, the comments pass the vibe. It's rare to have safe spaces on the internet! Remember being kind cost Nothing but the rewards are endless ❤
OMG!!! I asked the Holy Spirit to lead me to a video that I needed to hear today. Then I checked my email this morning and read what the episode was going to be about, and once I saw that Sarah was gonna be on there, I knew it was going to be great and an answer to my prayer 🙌🏽! I definitely feel like Mel's episodes drop right when I need them, so there's no doubt she's in alignment with God's timing. I'm in a season of a financial mess from poor choices and rebuilding my life. So I've been mad at myself and full of regret and shame lately. But after watching this podcast, I am encouraged to forgive myself and see the evidence of Mel's and Sarah's lives that God can redeem anything, and if I'll give God my leftover ingredients, as a Master Chef, He'll make something great out of my life, amen! 🙏🏽 Thanks so much, Mel and Sarah 😇❤🤗!
Every day I wake up in the morning hating myself and thinking what is my purpose in life I’m 56 and done nothing …felt so powerless I’m always living a lie I’m just nobody…. Until I listened to this video … Thank You ❤️. I’m so grateful 😢
“But also! Im this and that” whew! Young single mother, domestic violence survivor, gracefully broken, struggling but I pray and hope for better days 🥹🫶🏾 Thank you Sarah Jake’s Roberts! I needed to hear this message today!
I have been struggling for weeks after a breakup. Looking at myself with harsh eyes, judging myself all under the belief that I was doing healing work. I realized watching this that I’ve been punishing myself for years and no wonder I am not healing. I am taking this new perspective to be kinder to myself. To really stop beating myself up and love myself. Thank you Mel and Sarah for opening up my cupboard.
Only 40 seconds in, and I'm already teary! "We were all given these lives to make this world better. Most people underestimate how necessary they are." Loved the "different versions of ourselves" analogy. Sarah is a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing your story.
OMG! 5 minutes into the video and this woman is speaking directly to me! I got pregnant when I was 15, daughter of teachers, former student at a Christian school. Wow, thank you Mel and Sarah! I have goosebumps and I'm crying. My first son is now 38 and he was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Thank you Pastor Sarah, for saying it out loud for all the women standing in the back: “IT IS HARD.” Even when The Holy Spirit is nudging, and even though I know that the whole earth is groaning ~ waiting for “this” child of God to reveal who God created me to be, EVEN THOUGH I SAY “today is the day…,” IT’S HARD TO TAKE THE LEAP into the person I may want to be, after being the person I’ve been my whole adult life! I think I’ll go back and read your book again: Don’t Settle for Safe: embracing the uncomfortable to become unstoppable. Then I’ll open my cupboard… 🙌🏾🙏🏽
I waa 15 when i fell pregnant to an older man .my daughter was adopted.i had the guilt for years about giving her away.But as ive got older you realise you gave them a better life i was a child.now i realise everything in life makes you stronger.im just fininishing my book its good to talk. Years ago people didnt talk about things .if you bottle things up your like a volcano ready to erupt .Very strong Ladie ❤
while watching this video I just cried to God and thanked him. I kept asking him to guide me and this video pops up. I am on a healing journey. thank you ladies
This spoke to me differently 👉 "Open your mouth and let it live outside of you, and when you do that you create space inside of you for new amazing things to flow in you and you also create expansion in space for that thing you want and who you are becoming to take up space..." ...it broke me and opened my eyes to what I have been really afraid of...which is the fear of letting out what is in me live outside and not having anything else to offer after that... But she said it will create space for moreeee AMAZING things 🤭🤭 I'm letting go for more!🙌🙌❤❤❤
o.m.g I LOVE Sarah Jakes Roberts. I'm sitting here working and listening to this podcast crying my eyes out because her words are freeing me from ALL THE THINGS I let myself be held captive to for too long. Thank you Mel
When Mel said I hope you all caught the magic that came through the speakers about “you can not heal while you are still punishing yourself”. While that is great, what was more profound to me that I was literally writing down, is “It is the greatest gift you can possibly give yourself ..is to allow love to flood the place that you once felt an emptiness”. I love more of the conversation like underestimating our presence but from that part of the conversation that is what impacted me.
This video should be heard by all women we all need to know the love God has for us just as we are. All the things we have gone thru, good and bad have made us who we are. We are no mistake! Thank you ❤❤
I'm 62 and dealing and dealing with tough personal stuff and wondering what God's priority is for me. I find this so refreshing and encouraging. I am not a baby in the faith by any means, but today I needed this encouragement and I'm so glad to see a beautiful young woman living her full life in faith and embracing all her facets.
Before Sarah came onto the scene. I had retired listening preachers in general. But God keeps raising people with the current word. I am so grateful for her. ❤
I was a mom at age 15 - i am amazed at the brave 15 year old me & often wish she was here to give me a few pep talks at the age 47. Thank you for this episode...now i have to go clean out my cupboards 💚😢...maybe she's in there, I miss her.
my mom got me a few months after she turned 16 life was not easy and she ended up taking her own life att 40 life can turn wildly. i don't miss her as she always hurt me. i had so much depression and anxiety when she was alive now depression is gone and i'm working on anxiety but even that is alot lower.
Sarah Jakes Roberts you are an inspiration to both the young and old. So blessed to be able to listen to you. May you continue encouraging us to do what we are all called to do. May the Lord bless you more, you are amazing!
@sioxz8435 it is wonderful that you are stronger you are breaking the cycle - you were brought to this earth to be a positive inspiration to those you love and healing yourself is the most positive & the most healing inspiration there can be thank you for sharing 💚
@sioxz8435 amazing how simular your story is to mine & my son. He was born 8 days before my 16th birthday, he was in the icu for a few days and I got to take him home on my birthday - maybe not the ideal bday present at that age. I believe children choose their parents and I promise you he was sent to save me. He also has diabetes and as such a young aged mom, doctors didn't listen to me about his shaking when he was hungry & the need to check blood sugars...when he had monthly seizures from age 5 - 10. He was officially diagnosed days before his 21st bday. Type 1 is no joke. I am happy you got your 'extra' 18 years and hope you have many many more trips around the sun and you get to live your life with more joy and positive love around you. Whenever you need a hug...put your right hand on your left shoulder and your left hand on your right shoulder and squeeze and don't let go until you feel the love around you and eventhough we don't really know each other - squeeze just a little harder and that's a hug from me. If you need to talk - please see my profile pic & find me on FB.
Thank you, ladies. Mel, your guests never disappoint. My favorite part was " Im every bit of my past AND ALSO or IN ADDITION toooo...don't disconnect from who you were, but bring all of who you are to the fullness of where you are. " So powerful 💕🙏✨️
Wow! I’ve followed her father for many years and had no idea this beautiful woman existed! I’ve been needing a purpose and have been thinking a lot lately about what I can do to serve others in a way that helps the world. What an inspiring interview! As a retired English professor, I have decided to join a group that helps adult illiteracy. Thank you for this! Sending love to both of you 💕
I've always asked God to show me what my calling was. Today while In prayer, I heard myself say, " I will serve you Lord although I don't know how or in which ministry. I thought to myself mid prayer, I can't preach but may be if it's your will God, I'll be a preachers wife. Little did I know that I'll come across this podcast and have my calling spelled out to me by just listening to Sarah. Thank you so much for sharing your teen mum story and telling us to open up our cabinets and look at the ingredients within. Ahhh! Truth be told, I found one of my favorite ingredients and I'm going to run with it. So help me God.
Earlier this year, I wished I could see SJR in person. It wasn't even a prayer. I've been going through a difficult time and in June, she put on her Instagram stories that she's coming to S.A 🇿🇦. God made it possible for me to buy tickets. I'm so excited to see her this weekend. This is one of my many answered prayers! Her teachings and vulnerability have been so life changing, relatable that I've seen a slow and consistent growth in myself. I thank her for obeying God because God used her to help me in my mess.❤🎉Even this video popping up this time isn't a coincidence, it is God preparing me for this weekend.
I started crying 30 seconds before you did Mel. I really could feel the energy through the screen. I can tell this podcast will be life changing for me. I’ll be coming back over and over again when I need this reminder.
I have not finished listening to this while running errands in my car yet because I had to stop listening and switch to music several times. I couldn't handle it all at once.. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of Sarah's delivery of wisdom and pure compassion. On one occasion I was sitting in front of the post office bawling my eyes out. Mel, I don't know how you got through this conversation without totally breaking down (and since I haven't finished it maybe you do, lol). Thank you so very much to both of you for this gift. 💞🙏
This is really feeling like my favorite episode yet. Mind blown at her grace, her eloquent & empowering voice, honesty & compassion. So many mic drop moments. “When you fight to really accept the truth of who you are, you don’t allow it to be snatched easily out of your hands”.
It is just amazing! Two parts just sit on my heart and I tell myself every second that I feel all the feelings! 1. Don't repeat a scene out of the whole movie 2. hold that little girl's hand and show her how far we have come! Awwww, I am all tears and goose bumps! Awesome as always❤
I was watching another RUclips video about inner peace and I tapped my ears twice to pause it because my son was talking to me, and it just switch to this podcast and boy I am glad it turned to this... I need to near this message. God is speaking through Sarah, everything she is saying I am going through and I believe God needed me to hear this. God bless you all❤
She is the true definition of command. Sarah Jakes Roberts commanded not only respects from me, also my love and trust for her. Watching her on Mel Robbins was like a drug, heightening all my sense with every single hair on my body standing as a form of bow to her presence. I love this woman!
This is so incredible! I truly believe God revealed this message to me right when I needed it most. I was in the kitchen today, thinking I needed more ingredients, and as I was ordering groceries on my phone, it suddenly died. In that moment, I thought, "Why not just work with what I already have?" And then, right after that, this podcast came on. Sarah's message about power being fluid also really resonated with me, especially since I’ve just moved to a new city and started a new job, and I’ve been feeling a bit out of place. Thank you sharing this message with us!
I hope for nothing but good things at your new place. Very glad you were able to hear this message and that you could relate to it. I wish all the best for you ❤.
That was the most powerful statement you told Sarah. It was indeed meant to happen so that i could listen to this conversation today - many years after & it gets my life completely transformed! I was literally looking for something else, this came up, decided to listen abit now to all of it .. . .. Plus Six pages of notes. I am determined to embrace me, & allow God's assignment on my life to be fulfilled Thank you, Mel for the Show, thanks Pastor Sarah & THANK YOU LORD FOR TURNING HER SITUATION INTO A SHINING DIAMOND!
I had a baby at 15. My life changed on many levels. The most hurtful thing was how people spoke to me about it - I felt the judgement, their opinions, their future diagnosis of me - I felt crippled and unable. I have pushed forward from those moments and years - but listening to you today, I realise I have more work to be done. I cannot say in words, what this episode has done for me. Thank you. muchly appreciated.
Tearing up at your moment at 15:20, Mel. There is nothing like being in the sweet presence of God through His people and experiencing the Holy Spirit! Thank you so much for this interview.
I've been feeling stuck for a while now. Seeking for a motivation to arise, especially when you don't know what direction to go or decisions to make. God bless you two
This lady is a warrior here from Heaven to fight the plans the devil has made on your life! Thank God for women like this and for those of us wise enough to share her love for Heaven with the world. Thank you, Mel! Thank you both. Thank God for you.
This is absolutely phenomenal. I have shivers. Numerous times I stopped staring at my phone in disbelief, from the things Sara spoke of. Such wisdom given to us with so much love. This woman is a vessel for God. It is incredible. There are people I will share this video with. I pray it will touch their hearts. Thank you Mel. Thank you Sara. We are blessed ❤️🙏 Time to open my cupboard and go through what is no longer needed! 🙏🙏
I got so many chills throughout this conversation, had me balling in 🥹🥹🥹 This message really spoke to my spirit and soul. I been on this journey of sitting with myself, it had been extremely hard. Forgiving myself for all my past mistakes, letting go of shame, letting go of limiting beliefs, breaking me down to renew me….. whew thank you God for the strength to keep pushing forward. Thank you Sara for your light!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is my favorite podcast so far. I'm tearing up as I write this. The journey I've been through in the past two months brought me to my knees and you truly helped me look at it in a different way. It's funny I was trying to listen to something else while going on my walk, and it wouldn't come up, and then this message did, so I know it was meant for me to hear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Wow I don’t know what truth serum you gave Sarah by holding her hand but this level of jems she has dropped in one sitting is monumental to and for me. She always drops jems when she speaks but this many at this depth my God today whew 🙌🏾🙏🏾
This conversation was sooooo powerful! My God! I am going to go back and listen again and take notes. Pastor Sarah you are such a light thank you for letting God use you. ❤
I needed to see this, this morning. Today is my birthday. But I have felt very stagnant, bothersome and unworthy recently towards myself and many around me. I relate to so much of what Sarah has spoke to. This is such a powerful segment. I appreciate all of it and both of you. "Your value is an inside job".❤
It has been three full days listening to this message, the moment Mel said I have to say this to you , it happened on purpose I felt the energy like God saying Yeah now you get it. wow
When you're truly Annointed & Appointed by God, it will show through everytime and the Wisdom of The Holy Spirit will shine through. Thank you Jesus for saving Sarah....and me too, and using her has a Vessel to uplift many. 💜 🙏🏽 ✨ ✝️
My heart is over flowing with joy and happiness and sadness and pain but hopefulness all at the same time. Like Sarah said taking the little girl in me by the hand and tell her you have come so far 🎊 🎉 congratulations 🍾 and it’s ok and I can look ahead.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wooooow I cannot believe what I am hearing right now. Being so far away (France and Switzerland) I still feel so close to both of you. And my eyes … they hurt from the many tears 😢but sooooooo beautiful. Thank you sooooo much. I just got the message that my mother has cancer and I feel so much guilt for so many things… well let’s say I felt so much guilt. You just helped me so deeply. Thank you so much to both of you. I love hearing you and I will listen to this message again and again. I cannot say “thank you” enough for all those beautiful people you bring dear Mel. Just amazing! I am more than overwhelmed. Thanks to you and your messages I will get one day to be the better person I always wanted to be. Thank you so much for all this love you spread, for the seed you put in the ground every single day. Thank you soooo much. ❤
It's so refreshing and healing to see 2 woman have a heartfelt, sincere conversation that have respect for each other. The way that Mel looks at Sarah makes me so happy. :) I can feel the energy that's being reciprocated in that studio right here in my home.
I was/am completely mesmerized and captivated by Sarah's presentatiin of truth, love, empathy for self, and love. Not to mention ger genrle voice, humor, and just complete embofiment the Hoky Spirit. I cried, I laughed, I reflected. I am a 60 year young woman who mistreated myself as a result of abuse and abandonment but truly became healed this past year through Reiki and by true belief in the higher force, still, my heart was truly touched. I love ya Mel. Thankee thankee thankee
This was the most powerful podcast I have ever listened to. I watched it x3 back to back and cried every single time. Thank you so much to you Mel and to Sarah! The energy and beauty is truly beyond words- 🙏🏻🕊️
Two of my absolute favourite women in a room together, this was the best podcast I’ve listened to. You both share so much wisdom and truth between you that I really felt it when you reached your hand out Mel and the emotions as you spoke. This conversation is undeniably a gift to all of us. You have both influenced my life and the lives of others I have shared your words with more than you will ever know. I’ll always be grateful for you both fulfilling your purpose and letting it “live outside of you”.
Bless you so much, I beat myself over my past. Numbing with alcohol. My brother wrote a book of my mums life " a revolutionary childhood" It has helped me to see that my divine mission is to break the trauma of my mums life, her mums life, her fathers life. Im humbled and learning to love myself today. I've also raised 5 children mostly single handed today I am grateful and appreciate everyone who has crossed my path to teach me what I needed to learn upto today ❤
I can relate .. abandoned by my father, neglected by my mom due to addiction, a very lonely & traumatic childhood, and pregnant in college when I was convinced i would do it all different, a failed marriage… I am now learning that I’ve carried shame for so long. I also have numbed with alcohol, work, relationships just because I didn’t want to be alone. I am here listening and crying because i realize that I’ve been the complete opposite of compassionate to myself 😔
“I feel as though I have someone walking by my side, and not talking to me from above” this is a perfect description of how I receive a word from Pastor SJR. To be so profound and relatable is just incredible; Mel and Sarah exchange that energy so well this episode. Thank you for this ❤
As a black man dealing with his mental health. The expression: to open up your cabinets to not only recognize your ingredients, but to use those ingredients to open up who you really are. That really resonated with me. I’m 61 and I’m still trying to identify who I am, so I can really take off as a viable human being. I really appreciated this podcast.
Whoahow. What a powerful moment of experience. I feel so grateful you are sharing. I’ll pray for you. Thank you. I’m grateful to God for you today and this contribution you have made.
Black or white we have struggles and we can and should be strong to overcome. Just take small steps daily. Amen.😊
My God 🙏🏽Thank you both for this interview. Thank you for the story of “I always knew to expect something like this from you”
😂😢
Powerful quote
“You can’t heal and want to punish yourself at the same time…” 😭😭😭 this line was for me ❤
Same here ❤.
So many of us

I wanted to go too and be with them. Then to hear her tell us that most of us underestimate how necessary our existence is was the most beautiful and eloquent thing I have ever heard. Thank you

That part really resonated with me too! 💖✨
Cheers to never letting us underestimate our existence and when we do to find our way again😊
Very beautiful ❤😂🎉🙏🙏

Mel became in awe of the wisdom in the room, but we know it’s truly the Holy Spirit flowing through Sarah. She is indeed an anointed woman of God. 🤎
Amen
That’s it! 🙏🏾❤️

I'm sitting in my car weeping as this couldn't have come at a better time. I've been a Christian all my life but have never been able to feel worthy of myself and look upon myself with compassion. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your message and I will be making an effort to sit with myself so I can show up in the world as an authentic human being.
Me too! She has such a clear way of explaining why self-acceptance instead of shameful self-punishment for our “failures” is not God’s will for us! Shame and humiliation is not the humility and sense of mission that God created us for!
Oops that first sentence should read “is God’s will..” not “is not God’s will…” A sentence so tangled up that I lost my way by the end! ;-)
You is so right
Me too
@@SusanDonleyyou can edit it…
The way God uses Sarah Jakes Roberts never ceases to amaze me. I’m a 6‘2“/ 215 pound male and there’s something about her story and how God’s hand has been in it throughout that makes me weep like a child whose brand new bike just got stolen right from under him. Just amazing!
Yesss! Got me crying happy tears in bed at 6 in the morning.
Your comment sir is why I'm going to watch this podcast to the end.
Higbitbout hug it out 😊
Over 300 years of enslavement has left an unbearable legacy that many dare not speak its name and not only in African American Communities! You see that level of trauma has never been rectified in the way it should? When you really think about it the "collective memory" that people of colour holds it makes you wonder when can deep healing begin? I realised this when I listened recently to a conversation with the late "Native American" John Trudell who spoke about his experiences and the oppression of his people and his own suffering that he went through. America has to come to terms with her sins before her country can become whole. The recent election of Donald J Trump proves it still has a very long way to go? This goes way beyond Sarah Jakes Roberts story, God Bless her and God Bless America for God only know she will need it!
Thank you Mel for having Sara on! I got pregnant at 16 and up until this moment have never forgiven myself for multiple reasons that I didnt understand ! I am now 78 ! Thank you Sara for sharing ! I love you both♥️♥️🙏🏻🫶🏻
God is not truth with you yet. 😊 He wants you to heal

Mel, these videos have been so therapeutic for me lately. I've been struggling for the past 4 years. I work in pubkic health, so the pandemic was a nightmare. My husband and I have had a lot of bad wvebts happen. My mom is very ill. I'm going through menopause. I feel angry, sad, anxious, an impending sense of doom and like I haven't achieved anything. These videos help me taje a step back and stop ruminating and realize it's okay to stop, set boundaries, say no, and prioritize my needs.
This woman has a glow about her that I rarely see. She has found herself and is willing to share her wisdom with us. Beautiful!
Thought the same thing. So so beautiful. ❤
💯🙌🏻
Well said❤
It’s the glow of the Spirit of God flowing in abundance through her to touch, love, and inspire all of us 🙏🏽✝️💕🕊️
I totally agree! It's such a blessing to see....LOVE her and Mel, so it's great to see them together ❤
I took a walk this morning and after a long time of not praying or talking to god
I asked him about everything and asked for answers. And interestingly came across this video. Already in ten minutes I know this is something god needs me to hear
Looking at 13 year old me , who was so sad and insecure. Holding her hand and saying babe you will be alright. Despite the insecurities and the bullying and identity crisis. You are doing okay and you can now stand up for yourself. ❤you did the best you could with the tools and knowledge you had. Now that I know better I can now do better. ❤
I love that. Thank you for sharing.
I am a retired labor and delivery nurse, and I have been in the room so many times with 12 to 14 year old mothers giving birth. There was always a sense of grief in the room, emanating from her mother or caretaker. This is an extraordinary young woman.
Sarah has been my girl since I was 29 ! Four years of listening to her and every time , she is a breath of fresh God’s wisdom !
I have never thought that I needed a Mel Robbins and Sarah Jakes Roberts. This conversation was powerful and necessary.
yea, it was truly amazing!
As a 60 year old woman who's had struggles and ups and downs just like everyone else, I sat here crying over so many things this beautiful soul Sarah has said. Things I never grasped or saw in myself but now can start to see clear on how to forgive myself. So many things that were locked in that cabinet a long time ago that I didn't want to look at but realize I will never move forward and into who I am supposed to be without owning all those messy shameful ingredients. I also see that those things are probably only messy and shameful to me because I allowed them to be or allowed others to tell me they were. Thank you so much Mel and Sarah. Big Fat Aha Moments throughout this message!
Amen 🙏🏾 same for me too.
Rachel, I felt your honesty in your words. I'm a 58 year old woman who completely understands. Our journeys are similar, but I can't carry it anymore and let others tell my story. I'm here, I'm alive, I love and most of all God loves me. Thank you, thank you, God bless you.
I'm soon to be 63 and this has blessed me so much. I needed to hear this today.
God led me to this today for a reason. I cried through a lot of this podcast. This was one of the hardest days I've ever had with wondering why am I here...what is my purpose. Thank you!
Not only do i love Mel's content, but I also love the fact that this is a space where, for the most part, the comments pass the vibe. It's rare to have safe spaces on the internet! Remember being kind cost Nothing but the rewards are endless ❤
This might be the best interview on the internet.
Amen ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Word!
OMG!!! I asked the Holy Spirit to lead me to a video that I needed to hear today. Then I checked my email this morning and read what the episode was going to be about, and once I saw that Sarah was gonna be on there, I knew it was going to be great and an answer to my prayer 🙌🏽! I definitely feel like Mel's episodes drop right when I need them, so there's no doubt she's in alignment with God's timing. I'm in a season of a financial mess from poor choices and rebuilding my life. So I've been mad at myself and full of regret and shame lately. But after watching this podcast, I am encouraged to forgive myself and see the evidence of Mel's and Sarah's lives that God can redeem anything, and if I'll give God my leftover ingredients, as a Master Chef, He'll make something great out of my life, amen! 🙏🏽 Thanks so much, Mel and Sarah 😇❤🤗!
Holy spirit never watched youtube. Pay respect
Every day I wake up in the morning hating myself and thinking what is my purpose in life I’m 56 and done nothing …felt so powerless I’m always living a lie I’m just nobody…. Until I listened to this video … Thank You ❤️. I’m so grateful 😢
You are not alone, this is powerful
I hear ya! We rock!
So happy that you are blessed by hearing this. Don't hate on yourself anymore more. Good for you. Blessing 🙌
I feel the very same…time to change it all.❤
“But also! Im this and that” whew! Young single mother, domestic violence survivor, gracefully broken, struggling but I pray and hope for better days 🥹🫶🏾 Thank you Sarah Jake’s Roberts! I needed to hear this message today!
God's got you my Sister. Don't let go of Him.
This was the best conversation I've heard in so long, I know I'm not the only person who cried multiples while listening.
Yep… I cried. Good stuff.
A girl on a journey and a woman owning her power!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely! 👏
I love to hear Sarah speak. She is so encouraging and just an authentic person. I’m grateful that she has allowed God to continue to use her
Sixteen minutes in and she has already preached a full sermon!! She IS anointed for this!!
I have been struggling for weeks after a breakup. Looking at myself with harsh eyes, judging myself all under the belief that I was doing healing work. I realized watching this that I’ve been punishing myself for years and no wonder I am not healing. I am taking this new perspective to be kinder to myself. To really stop beating myself up and love myself. Thank you Mel and Sarah for opening up my cupboard.
Only 40 seconds in, and I'm already teary! "We were all given these lives to make this world better. Most people underestimate how necessary they are." Loved the "different versions of ourselves" analogy. Sarah is a beautiful soul! Thank you for sharing your story.
OMG! 5 minutes into the video and this woman is speaking directly to me! I got pregnant when I was 15, daughter of teachers, former student at a Christian school. Wow, thank you Mel and Sarah! I have goosebumps and I'm crying. My first son is now 38 and he was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
Thank you Pastor Sarah, for saying it out loud for all the women standing in the back: “IT IS HARD.” Even when The Holy Spirit is nudging, and even though I know that the whole earth is groaning ~ waiting for “this” child of God to reveal who God created me to be, EVEN THOUGH I SAY “today is the day…,” IT’S HARD TO TAKE THE LEAP into the person I may want to be, after being the person I’ve been my whole adult life! I think I’ll go back and read your book again: Don’t Settle for Safe: embracing the uncomfortable to become unstoppable. Then I’ll open my cupboard… 🙌🏾🙏🏽
I waa 15 when i fell pregnant to an older man .my daughter was adopted.i had the guilt for years about giving her away.But as ive got older you realise you gave them a better life i was a child.now i realise everything in life makes you stronger.im just fininishing my book its good to talk. Years ago people didnt talk about things .if you bottle things up your like a volcano ready to erupt .Very strong Ladie ❤
what's the name of your book? I'm gonna write a book to!
@@ThenTheresSB Its Good too Talk
You can’t heal while you are still punishing yourself !! wow , Love & needed this 🙌🏾🙌🏾
This was a powerful statement! ❤
This is huge! ❤
I shared that particular statement with a few people I love. It's powerful and true.❤
Absolute Gold!
That hit different!!!! 😢🙏🏾🙏🏾
while watching this video I just cried to God and thanked him. I kept asking him to guide me and this video pops up. I am on a healing journey. thank you ladies
Dear Mel,
What you are witnessing is the Holy Spirit! 🙏🏾❤️
It’s a feeling & a presence that is hard to explain & it leaves you in awe.
This spoke to me differently
👉 "Open your mouth and let it live outside of you, and when you do that you create space inside of you for new amazing things to flow in you and you also create expansion in space for that thing you want and who you are becoming to take up space..."
...it broke me and opened my eyes to what I have been really afraid of...which is the fear of letting out what is in me live outside and not having anything else to offer after that... But she said it will create space for moreeee AMAZING things 🤭🤭
I'm letting go for more!🙌🙌❤❤❤
That’s what I wanted to say. Thank you @Blessingogianyo
That’s what I wanted to say. Thank you @Blessingogianyo
o.m.g I LOVE Sarah Jakes Roberts. I'm sitting here working and listening to this podcast crying my eyes out because her words are freeing me from ALL THE THINGS I let myself be held captive to for too long. Thank you Mel
When Mel said I hope you all caught the magic that came through the speakers about “you can not heal while you are still punishing yourself”. While that is great, what was more profound to me that I was literally writing down, is “It is the greatest gift you can possibly give yourself ..is to allow love to flood the place that you once felt an emptiness”. I love more of the conversation like underestimating our presence but from that part of the conversation that is what impacted me.
This video should be heard by all women we all need to know the love God has for us just as we are. All the things we have gone thru, good and bad have made us who we are. We are no mistake! Thank you ❤❤
Amen to that❤
I'm 62 and dealing and dealing with tough personal stuff and wondering what God's priority is for me. I find this so refreshing and encouraging. I am not a baby in the faith by any means, but today I needed this encouragement and I'm so glad to see a beautiful young woman living her full life in faith and embracing all her facets.
Two Earth angels in this video.
Bless y’all for this divine message.🫶🏼
And if you’re reading this I pray something amazing happens for you today.🙏🏼🩷
Before Sarah came onto the scene. I had retired listening preachers in general. But God keeps raising people with the current word. I am so grateful for her. ❤
I was a mom at age 15 - i am amazed at the brave 15 year old me & often wish she was here to give me a few pep talks at the age 47. Thank you for this episode...now i have to go clean out my cupboards 💚😢...maybe she's in there, I miss her.
my mom got me a few months after she turned 16 life was not easy and she ended up taking her own life att 40 life can turn wildly. i don't miss her as she always hurt me. i had so much depression and anxiety when she was alive now depression is gone and i'm working on anxiety but even that is alot lower.
Sarah Jakes Roberts you are an inspiration to both the young and old. So blessed to be able to listen to you. May you continue encouraging us to do what we are all called to do. May the Lord bless you more, you are amazing!
@sioxz8435 it is wonderful that you are stronger you are breaking the cycle - you were brought to this earth to be a positive inspiration to those you love and healing yourself is the most positive & the most healing inspiration there can be thank you for sharing 💚
@sioxz8435 amazing how simular your story is to mine & my son. He was born 8 days before my 16th birthday, he was in the icu for a few days and I got to take him home on my birthday - maybe not the ideal bday present at that age. I believe children choose their parents and I promise you he was sent to save me. He also has diabetes and as such a young aged mom, doctors didn't listen to me about his shaking when he was hungry & the need to check blood sugars...when he had monthly seizures from age 5 - 10. He was officially diagnosed days before his 21st bday. Type 1 is no joke.
I am happy you got your 'extra' 18 years and hope you have many many more trips around the sun and you get to live your life with more joy and positive love around you. Whenever you need a hug...put your right hand on your left shoulder and your left hand on your right shoulder and squeeze and don't let go until you feel the love around you and eventhough we don't really know each other - squeeze just a little harder and that's a hug from me.
If you need to talk - please see my profile pic & find me on FB.
She's still a part of you. She is you.
Taking the time to appreciate where I am now, holding my 25 year old self’s hand ❤
This has to be TOP 3 interviews Mell has ever done!!!!!!
The words that proceed out of her is far beyond her age! What wisdom
Only 17 minutes in. These are two powerhouse women. Yes Sarah, you are certainly anointed. Thank you ladies.
Thank you, ladies. Mel, your guests never disappoint. My favorite part was " Im every bit of my past AND ALSO or IN ADDITION toooo...don't disconnect from who you were, but bring all of who you are to the fullness of where you are. " So powerful 💕🙏✨️
Wow! I’ve followed her father for many years and had no idea this beautiful woman existed! I’ve been needing a purpose and have been thinking a lot lately about what I can do to serve others in a way that helps the world. What an inspiring interview! As a retired English professor, I have decided to join a group that helps adult illiteracy. Thank you for this! Sending love to both of you 💕
Today was a hard day for me. Woman to woman I appreciate this and needed to hear it
This has got to be "one " of your best guests!!! For women of all ages!!I'm gonna get her book for sure!!Love her!!❤🎉😊
i agree!
Thanks!
This is gonna be on repeat for the entire month for me. So many gems. Grateful for you both!
I've always asked God to show me what my calling was. Today while In prayer, I heard myself say, " I will serve you Lord although I don't know how or in which ministry. I thought to myself mid prayer, I can't preach but may be if it's your will God, I'll be a preachers wife. Little did I know that I'll come across this podcast and have my calling spelled out to me by just listening to Sarah. Thank you so much for sharing your teen mum story and telling us to open up our cabinets and look at the ingredients within. Ahhh! Truth be told, I found one of my favorite ingredients and I'm going to run with it. So help me God.
Earlier this year, I wished I could see SJR in person. It wasn't even a prayer. I've been going through a difficult time and in June, she put on her Instagram stories that she's coming to S.A 🇿🇦. God made it possible for me to buy tickets. I'm so excited to see her this weekend. This is one of my many answered prayers! Her teachings and vulnerability have been so life changing, relatable that I've seen a slow and consistent growth in myself. I thank her for obeying God because God used her to help me in my mess.❤🎉Even this video popping up this time isn't a coincidence, it is God preparing me for this weekend.
I started crying 30 seconds before you did Mel. I really could feel the energy through the screen. I can tell this podcast will be life changing for me. I’ll be coming back over and over again when I need this reminder.
I have not finished listening to this while running errands in my car yet because I had to stop listening and switch to music several times. I couldn't handle it all at once.. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of Sarah's delivery of wisdom and pure compassion. On one occasion I was sitting in front of the post office bawling my eyes out. Mel, I don't know how you got through this conversation without totally breaking down (and since I haven't finished it maybe you do, lol). Thank you so very much to both of you for this gift. 💞🙏
This is really feeling like my favorite episode yet. Mind blown at her grace, her eloquent & empowering voice, honesty & compassion. So many mic drop moments. “When you fight to really accept the truth of who you are, you don’t allow it to be snatched easily out of your hands”.
It is just amazing! Two parts just sit on my heart and I tell myself every second that I feel all the feelings! 1. Don't repeat a scene out of the whole movie 2. hold that little girl's hand and show her how far we have come! Awwww, I am all tears and goose bumps! Awesome as always❤
I was watching another RUclips video about inner peace and I tapped my ears twice to pause it because my son was talking to me, and it just switch to this podcast and boy I am glad it turned to this... I need to near this message. God is speaking through Sarah, everything she is saying I am going through and I believe God needed me to hear this. God bless you all❤
She is the true definition of command. Sarah Jakes Roberts commanded not only respects from me, also my love and trust for her. Watching her on Mel Robbins was like a drug, heightening all my sense with every single hair on my body standing as a form of bow to her presence. I love this woman!
This is so incredible! I truly believe God revealed this message to me right when I needed it most. I was in the kitchen today, thinking I needed more ingredients, and as I was ordering groceries on my phone, it suddenly died. In that moment, I thought, "Why not just work with what I already have?" And then, right after that, this podcast came on. Sarah's message about power being fluid also really resonated with me, especially since I’ve just moved to a new city and started a new job, and I’ve been feeling a bit out of place. Thank you sharing this message with us!
I hope for nothing but good things at your new place. Very glad you were able to hear this message and that you could relate to it. I wish all the best for you ❤.
@hyacinthdibley2420 Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. I'm wishing nothing but the best for you too!
I LOVE SARAH JAKE'S ROBERT, SHE IS A GIFT TO THE WORLD.
This conversation is so liberating. Thank you Mel and Sarah
That was the most powerful statement you told Sarah. It was indeed meant to happen so that i could listen to this conversation today - many years after & it gets my life completely transformed!
I was literally looking for something else, this came up, decided to listen abit now to all of it .. . .. Plus Six pages of notes.
I am determined to embrace me, & allow God's assignment on my life to be fulfilled
Thank you, Mel for the Show, thanks Pastor Sarah & THANK YOU LORD FOR TURNING HER SITUATION INTO A SHINING DIAMOND!
I cried, I laughed, I learned so much about myself. WOW WOW WOW. I'm going to re-watch this episode.
I had a baby at 15. My life changed on many levels. The most hurtful thing was how people spoke to me about it - I felt the judgement, their opinions, their future diagnosis of me - I felt crippled and unable. I have pushed forward from those moments and years - but listening to you today, I realise I have more work to be done. I cannot say in words, what this episode has done for me. Thank you. muchly appreciated.
Tearing up at your moment at 15:20, Mel. There is nothing like being in the sweet presence of God through His people and experiencing the Holy Spirit! Thank you so much for this interview.
I’ve never cried during a podcast before but this, this, was such an amazing and inspirational talk. I will never forget this. Two great women.
I've been feeling stuck for a while now. Seeking for a motivation to arise, especially when you don't know what direction to go or decisions to make. God bless you two
This lady is a warrior here from Heaven to fight the plans the devil has made on your life! Thank God for women like this and for those of us wise enough to share her love for Heaven with the world. Thank you, Mel! Thank you both. Thank God for you.
This is absolutely phenomenal.
I have shivers. Numerous times I stopped staring at my phone in disbelief, from the things Sara spoke of. Such wisdom given to us with so much love. This woman is a vessel for God. It is incredible.
There are people I will share this video with. I pray it will touch their hearts.
Thank you Mel. Thank you Sara.
We are blessed ❤️🙏
Time to open my cupboard and go through what is no longer needed! 🙏🙏
That moment where Mel got choked up ....... man did I get chocked up. What a privilege to be part of this conversation
This was the best Mel Robbins show ever !
I concur
The way Sarah speaks and eloquently expresses herself is so powerful ❤ ABS LOVED THIS EPISODE
I got so many chills throughout this conversation, had me balling in 🥹🥹🥹 This message really spoke to my spirit and soul. I been on this journey of sitting with myself, it had been extremely hard. Forgiving myself for all my past mistakes, letting go of shame, letting go of limiting beliefs, breaking me down to renew me….. whew thank you God for the strength to keep pushing forward. Thank you Sara for your light!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is my favorite podcast so far. I'm tearing up as I write this. The journey I've been through in the past two months brought me to my knees and you truly helped me look at it in a different way. It's funny I was trying to listen to something else while going on my walk, and it wouldn't come up, and then this message did, so I know it was meant for me to hear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Mel asking all the good questions and Sarah enlighting me with each moment she answers!
Wow I don’t know what truth serum you gave Sarah by holding her hand but this level of jems she has dropped in one sitting is monumental to and for me. She always drops jems when she speaks but this many at this depth my God today whew 🙌🏾🙏🏾
This conversation was sooooo powerful! My God! I am going to go back and listen again and take notes. Pastor Sarah you are such a light thank you for letting God use you. ❤
I needed to see this, this morning.
Today is my birthday. But I have felt very stagnant, bothersome and unworthy recently towards myself and many around me. I relate to so much of what Sarah has spoke to. This is such a powerful segment. I appreciate all of it and both of you.
"Your value is an inside job".❤
Happy Birthday lovely ❤️. You are indeed worthy and I hope that you can begin to feel it and see it as well.
Celebrate your birthday by celebrating your wonderful unique self 💖 Hope you have a lovely day, you do deserve it xx
Happy Birthday Beautiful!🎉🤍
Happy birthday ❤🎉
Happy birthday 🎁 your gift is your worth, you have always been worthy 💗
It has been three full days listening to this message, the moment Mel said I have to say this to you , it happened on purpose I felt the energy like God saying Yeah now you get it. wow
How I wish I can like this a million times.... Both of you have blessed my day beyond imagination!!! May God continue to use you for His Glory ❤
When you're truly Annointed & Appointed by God, it will show through everytime and the Wisdom of The Holy Spirit will shine through. Thank you Jesus for saving Sarah....and me too, and using her has a Vessel to uplift many. 💜 🙏🏽 ✨ ✝️
It’s called the holy spirit that’s getting her choked up ❤❤
Amen!🙏
Amen!
Exactly my thoughts!
My heart is over flowing with joy and happiness and sadness and pain but hopefulness all at the same time. Like Sarah said taking the little girl in me by the hand and tell her you have come so far 🎊 🎉 congratulations 🍾 and it’s ok and I can look ahead.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wooooow I cannot believe what I am hearing right now. Being so far away (France and Switzerland) I still feel so close to both of you. And my eyes … they hurt from the many tears 😢but sooooooo beautiful. Thank you sooooo much. I just got the message that my mother has cancer and I feel so much guilt for so many things… well let’s say I felt so much guilt. You just helped me so deeply. Thank you so much to both of you. I love hearing you and I will listen to this message again and again. I cannot say “thank you” enough for all those beautiful people you bring dear Mel. Just amazing! I am more than overwhelmed. Thanks to you and your messages I will get one day to be the better person I always wanted to be. Thank you so much for all this love you spread, for the seed you put in the ground every single day. Thank you soooo much. ❤
It's so refreshing and healing to see 2 woman have a heartfelt, sincere conversation that have respect for each other. The way that Mel looks at Sarah makes me so happy. :) I can feel the energy that's being reciprocated in that studio right here in my home.
Sarah J makes me alive. I see the future while listening to her.
Thank you for laying low and let the Lord work his art 🖼️ through you
❤
Her voice is so beautiful and peaceful
"The most authentic version of you has been anointed" ❤❤❤💥❤🙏🏽
MY FAVORITE 2 PEOPLE DOING A PODCAST TOGETHER?!?!?! AHHHHH!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Can we please have a part 2 & part 3?!?!?
I have paused this to , cry, write, and rejoice at least 10 times through this interview. Thank you for this! 🤩🤩🤩
I was/am completely mesmerized and captivated by Sarah's presentatiin of truth, love, empathy for self, and love. Not to mention ger genrle voice, humor, and just complete embofiment the Hoky Spirit. I cried, I laughed, I reflected. I am a 60 year young woman who mistreated myself as a result of abuse and abandonment but truly became healed this past year through Reiki and by true belief in the higher force, still, my heart was truly touched. I love ya Mel. Thankee thankee thankee
This was the most powerful podcast I have ever listened to. I watched it x3 back to back and cried every single time. Thank you so much to you Mel and to Sarah! The energy and beauty is truly beyond words- 🙏🏻🕊️
Two of my absolute favourite women in a room together, this was the best podcast I’ve listened to. You both share so much wisdom and truth between you that I really felt it when you reached your hand out Mel and the emotions as you spoke. This conversation is undeniably a gift to all of us. You have both influenced my life and the lives of others I have shared your words with more than you will ever know. I’ll always be grateful for you both fulfilling your purpose and letting it “live outside of you”.
Bless you so much, I beat myself over my past. Numbing with alcohol. My brother wrote a book of my mums life " a revolutionary childhood"
It has helped me to see that my divine mission is to break the trauma of my mums life, her mums life, her fathers life. Im humbled and learning to love myself today.
I've also raised 5 children mostly single handed today I am grateful and appreciate everyone who has crossed my path to teach me what I needed to learn upto today ❤
I can relate .. abandoned by my father, neglected by my mom due to addiction, a very lonely & traumatic childhood, and pregnant in college when I was convinced i would do it all different, a failed marriage… I am now learning that I’ve carried shame for so long. I also have numbed with alcohol, work, relationships just because I didn’t want to be alone. I am here listening and crying because i realize that I’ve been the complete opposite of compassionate to myself 😔
“I feel as though I have someone walking by my side, and not talking to me from above” this is a perfect description of how I receive a word from Pastor SJR. To be so profound and relatable is just incredible; Mel and Sarah exchange that energy so well this episode. Thank you for this ❤
