Amidon Planet E140: The Let Them Theory in Practice (w/ Gary Williams)
It’s easy to feel like we have to manage everything – our students, our colleagues, our classrooms, our kids, and sometimes even how others think or respond. But what if some of that weight isn’t actually ours to carry?
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Gary Williams about The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins and the simple but powerful idea behind it: letting people be who they are, while focusing on what we can control. We explore what this looks like in teaching, leadership, and everyday relationships, and how this shift can reduce stress while increasing clarity and presence.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or over-responsible, this conversation offers a grounded perspective on boundaries, agency, and showing up with intention.
