Today, you’re going to hear one of the most emotional and inspiring episodes that has ever been on The Mel Robbins Podcast.

Sarah Jakes Roberts is a New York Times bestselling author, pastor, and speaker. Pregnant at 13, married by 19, divorced by 22, and all while under the intense scrutiny as the daughter of a famous mega-church pastor, Sarah knows what it’s like to be knocked down. But more importantly, she shares what it takes to get back up. 

In this conversation, she is going to show you how to stop letting one mistake, one season, one heartbreak, or one painful scene become your entire identity.

Sarah teaches you what it truly means to be powerful, how to reclaim your confidence, and how to create a new version of yourself.

Listen on:

Key takeaways

  1. You keep replaying one painful scene of your life and calling it your identity, when the full movie proves you were surviving with what you had and doing the best you could. 

  2. You cannot heal while you are still punishing yourself, because shame keeps the cabinet closed and compassion is what finally lets real light back in.

  3. The moment you stop hiding your mess and start using it as an ingredient, you take your power back from everyone who used your past against your worth and your voice. 

  4. You keep waiting for one giant breakthrough, but your life changes when you gather the tiny moments that quietly prove you are becoming someone new, stronger, more honest, and deeply worthy every day.

  5. When you finally speak your dreams out loud, you stop trapping your future inside yourself and start creating real space for who you are becoming to exist with real confidence.

    Undoubtedly, there are moments when hope is obscure. That's because hope has many hiding places. It hides behind heartbreak, camouflages in stress, and disguises itself in grief. It only takes a few disappointments before our expectations are hijacked by doubt and disbelief. Hope is easy to lose and hard to find, but there is never a season when hope is out of reach.

    Inspiring you towards the pursuit of hope with a lens of compassion, Sarah serves as a guide who exposes the hidden hope that awaits you each day.
