Hey, it's your friend, Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. You are in for one heck of a conversation today, so let me just start right at the top. If you've ever wondered why you feel stuck or if deep down, you feel like you're acting like someone you're not. Let me tell you something. This is the truth you need to hear today. I'm talking real talk because we're going to go there today. If fear, shame, regret, or resentment are holding you back and you feel like you can't break free, if you've got big goals but you're the one who keeps putting them off, if some part of you believes it is just too late to change. This episode is going to be your wake up call because today you're going to be one of the most inspiring human beings I've ever met. His name is Wallace Peoples, but you may know him as wallow. Wallace spent 25 years in prison, but this is not a prison story. This is a freedom story. See when wallow walked out of prison, he had $1,000, a used iPhone, and a promise to make his life count. Today, he's a media powerhouse with millions of views across every social media platform every single week. He's a truth teller, a man who's built an empire from a blueprint he wrote when he was behind bars, and he says something I'll never forget and neither will you. There's more people incarcerated mentally in the free world than there are in prison. And after you hear what he has to say, you're going to realize he's right. Have you ever wondered why you feel stuck and how to finally get moving? This conversation is going to shift you. This is real talk about how to eliminate self doubt, stop waiting and start becoming the person you know you're meant to be. And by the way, I got to tell you something, I don't want your kids in the car if you're listening in the car. I don't want you turning this up in the kitchen because this conversation is going to get passionate and I've already warned my team when wallow starts going, you better keep your hand on the recording dial because holy cow, it's like part sermon, part halftime coach. Your team is down. The coach is mad. He's mad at you and he's telling you the truth and this is the truth you need to hear because the fact is you're the one in your own way. And so I don't want to be here and from you, I know hanging in your case because this is a conversation for adults and sometimes adults need to hear words that are a little harsh because that's what it's going to take for you to wake up. All right. I've warned you and here's another one. Don't even bother listening to this if you don't want to hear the truth. Don't listen to this. If you're not interested in motivation, you still here? Good. So am I. Let's go. Okay. Picture this, you're halfway through a weekend project and you don't have the one thing you
