How to Use ‘Let Them Theory’ for Personal Growth – 5 Tips
Hi, I’m Judy Croon—comedian, speaker, stress-buster, and someone who occasionally forgets to let people be wrong in peace. But I’m working on it.
Recently, I came across a concept that hit me right between the chakras—“Let Them Theory,” popularized by author and speaker Mel Robbins.
The idea is simple, brilliant, and a total stress reliever: If people want to do something… let them. Let them talk. Let them walk. Let them misread your email tone. Let them eat soup with a fork. Let. Them. It’s not about being passive—it’s about being free.
So here are 5 ways to use Let Them Theory to reduce stress, grow personally, and maybe—just maybe—stop arguing with your cousin on Facebook.
#5 – Let Them Think You're Nuts You told your coworker you’re trying “Niksen”—a Dutch practice of doing absolutely nothing—and they looked at you like you grew a second head. Let them. Your growth doesn’t need their permission. Sometimes the best ideas look weird at first. So does oat milk.
#4 – Let Them Be Messy Your friend is always late. Your colleague overshares. That one family member always brings up politics at dinner. Let them. You can set boundaries without turning into a hall monitor. Letting people be who they are gives you space to be who you are, too.
#3 – Let Them Misunderstand You You tried to explain your big dream—your comedy, your business, your side hustle—and someone replied with, “That’s cute.” Let them. You’re not here to win everyone over. You’re here to grow, evolve, and maybe prove them wrong later—politely and with receipts.
#2 – Let Them Go Some people are just... not your people. And that’s okay. If someone exits your life when you set a boundary or stand in your truth, don’t chase them. Let them. Growth creates space—and sometimes that space is better without the drama.
#1 – Let Yourself Rise
Here’s the secret: Let Them Theory isn’t really about them. It’s about you. Letting people be who they are gives you the freedom to stop controlling, overexplaining, people-pleasing, and spiraling. So let them... and let yourself step into peace, confidence, and growth. Because the truth is: when you stop trying to manage everything around you, you start managing you. And that’s where the magic happens.

Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist is a global bestseller, spiritual journey, and self-help guide all rolled into one poetic fable—but what does it really teach us about life, purpose, and maybe not ignoring our weird little heart voices?
In this Top 5 countdown, I break down the biggest takeaways from The Alchemist in my signature style—funny, insightful, and 0% desert sand.
Whether you’re a fan of the book, a seeker of purpose, or just someone who needs a little encouragement (and a laugh), this one’s for you.
✨ Want to chase your dreams without quitting your day job (yet)? Hit play.
🎙️ Top 5 Takeaways from The Alchemist (Or: What I Learned from a Shepherd Who Chased His Dreams and Didn’t Even Need LinkedIn)
5. Trust the journey—even if it’s a little weird.
Look, the hero of this book, Santiago, starts off herding sheep and ends up following omens, reading desert winds, and chatting with alchemists. Moral of the story? Your path might look more like a maze designed by a toddler with a crayon, but trust it anyway. That dead-end might be your detour to greatness. Or at least to a better coffee machine at work.
4. Listen to your heart—even if it sounds like it needs therapy. Santiago keeps checking in with his heart, which is kind of adorable. And while most of us ignore our hearts until they start palpitating after a third espresso, Coelho reminds us that our inner voice knows what’s up. Yes, even if it sounds dramatic or starts humming Taylor Swift songs.
3. Fear is the biggest liar in the room. According to this book, fear will stop you faster than a Monday morning all-staff meeting. Santiago’s biggest obstacle isn’t bandits or sandstorms—it’s that nagging voice that says “What if you fail?” Coelho's answer? What if you don’t? And then you’re just stuck in your comfort zone with your metaphoric sheep and no Wi-Fi.
2. The universe is basically your hype person. Coelho says, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” I mean, what a nice thought! The universe, conspiring for you. It’s like having a cosmic personal assistant, minus the Outlook calendar invites.
1. Your treasure might be closer than you think. Here’s the twist (spoiler alert—although this book’s been out since 1988, so I feel like the spoiler statute of limitations has passed): after all that adventuring, the treasure was back where Santiago started. Which is kind of beautiful.
Sometimes what we’re looking for isn’t on another continent—it’s just buried under a pile of laundry and self-doubt.
⭐ Final Thought: The Alchemist is a fable wrapped in a fortune cookie, dipped in a little woo-woo—but honestly? It works. It’s a reminder that your dreams matter, your heart knows the way, and the journey is the point. Also, if a desert crystal merchant offers you life advice? Take it. You could do worse.

The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel | Book Review | Top 5 Tips
📉 Markets are wobbling, headlines are panicking, and your investment app may be asking “Are you sure you want to look?” Before you sell everything and move into a yurt, take a breath.
This week, I’m diving into The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel—a book that couldn’t be more relevant right now. Because when it comes to money, it’s not just about numbers... it’s about how we feel about those numbers. From panic selling to comparison spirals, this book gives us permission to pause, zoom out, and stop letting the market mess with our mental health. (Also: turns out patience is more profitable than panic. Who knew?)
Check out this podcast for a little perspective, a few laughs, and maybe even a reason not to check your portfolio for the 5th time today.
🎙️ Top 5 Takeaways from The Psychology of Money (Or: Why Your Brain Might Be the Worst Financial Advisor You've Ever Hired)
5. Wealth is what you don’t see. The fancy car, the designer shoes, the Instagram vacations? Those are signs someone spent money, not that they have it. Real wealth is often invisible—like savings, investments, or a healthy relationship with Costco bulk items. So next time you're tempted to keep up with the Joneses, remember: the Joneses might be broke. And in credit card debt.
4. Luck and risk are twins in disguise. Morgan Housel reminds us that financial success isn’t always just about hard work—it’s also about timing, privilege, and sometimes dumb luck. Likewise, failure isn’t always due to laziness or bad choices. Before you judge someone’s bank balance (including your own), remember: sometimes it’s not about effort—it’s about a weird roll of the dice.
3. Saving & Spending Smarts. You don’t need a finance degree or a crystal ball to win with money. You just need to save consistently and not panic when the market dips. Think tortoise, not Bitcoin cowboy. Even small savings add up—kind of like emotional baggage, but with better interest.
2. You are not your neighbor. We all have different financial goals, backgrounds, and tolerance for risk. So comparing your investments to your cousin’s crypto portfolio is a waste of energy. They might be playing poker, while you’re trying to build a nice, safe Monopoly board. Stick to your own game.
1. Freedom is the best kind of wealth. The ultimate goal of money isn’t to impress people—it’s to buy time, flexibility, and peace of mind. That’s the jackpot. Not the yacht, not the gold-plated espresso machine.
Time. Time to do work you love, nap without guilt, or say no to things that drain you. That’s the real flex.
⭐ Final Thought: The Psychology of Money isn’t a how-to manual—it’s a mindset shift. It’s about making peace with the emotions behind our bank accounts, especially when the markets are throwing a full-blown financial tantrum. If your portfolio has you sweating or doom-scrolling, this book is your reminder that patience is often more powerful than panic. And yes—if you’ve ever made a questionable 11pm online purchase (hi, weighted blanket), you’re still doing better than you think.
Read this one. Breathe. The market will be back. So will your sense of humor.
UntIL next time, Laugh Long and Prosper. I’m Judy Croon.

5 Dutch Work Habits That Will Boost Your Productivity (and Sanity)
Hi there, I’m Judy Croon! My dad was from the Netherlands, and my mom was from Guyana. I was actually born in the Netherlands, so let me apologize now if I butcher some of the Dutch words I’m about to say.
I love exploring what makes different countries great—what habits, traditions, and quirks contribute to their happiness and success. I’ll definitely be doing separate segments on Guyana and Canada another time, but today, let’s focus on the Dutchies and their secrets to being productive without burning out.
The Dutch are some of the happiest, most stress-free people on the planet. But why? Ever wondered how the Dutch manage to be among the most productive and happiest people in the world?
According to the 2024 World Happiness Report, the Netherlands ranks 6th globally in happiness. And while it may seem like the Dutch are doing less, they actually maintain one of the highest levels of productivity in Europe.
So what’s their secret? Is it the canals? The bicycles? The fact that they’ve mastered the art of eating fries with mayo and zero shame?
Maybe. But I think it has a lot to do with these five uniquely Dutch habits.

Book Review: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* (Not caring)–5 Takeaways That Slapped Me in the Face**
I picked up The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* by Mark Manson thinking it would be a handbook on how to become a carefree rebel who flips off stress like an action hero walking away from an explosion. Turns out, it’s more like a philosophical slap to the face—with love. Manson isn’t here to coddle you; he’s here to shake you out of your own nonsense, all while swearing at you like a motivational speaker who just got cut off in traffic.
So, what did I learn? Here are my top five takeaways from the book, counting down from #5 to #1 because, let’s be honest, dramatic countdowns make everything feel more important.
#5: Happiness is Overrated (and Your Problems Are Your Fault)Surprise! You’re not special, and life isn’t supposed to be a 24/7 highlight reel. Manson says we need to stop chasing happiness like it’s a lost puppy and instead accept that life is a series of problems. The trick isn’t avoiding problems; it’s choosing better problems to have.
For example, do you want the problem of working hard to get in shape, or the problem of not fitting into your jeans from 2012? The choice is yours. Either way, there will be struggle, so pick a struggle that at least gives you a six-pack (or, in my case, a strong core under my strategically chosen sweater).
#4: Stop Trying So Hard (Seriously, Chill Out)Manson introduces the mind-blowing concept that the more we desperately want something, the less likely we are to get it. It’s like trying to impress a first date—if you overdo it, you just end up looking like a sweaty salesperson pushing timeshares in Florida.
Instead of obsessing over success, wealth, or being universally loved, Manson suggests embracing a paradox: the things that truly matter tend to come when we’re not strangling them with desperation. So relax. Let go. And maybe, just maybe, the universe will stop treating you like a punchline.
#3: You’re Not a Special Snowflake (But Neither is Anyone Else)You know that voice in your head that whispers, "You’re unique, gifted, and destined for greatness"? Well, Manson politely suggests you tell that voice to shut up. Being human means facing the same struggles as everyone else. Your problems aren’t new, your suffering isn’t ground breaking, and nobody is waiting for your TED Talk on "Why My Life Is Extra Hard."
Instead of clinging to a narrative of being extraordinary, Manson encourages embracing mediocrity—because in reality, most of us are just regular people trying to do our best. And that’s actually pretty freeing. If you stop demanding greatness from every moment, you might actually enjoy the moments you get.
