Hey, it's your friend Mel and I cannot believe that this day is finally here. I'm actually getting really choked up. I, I, okay, I got to pull it together. I got to pull it together. I have been waiting to tell you this for two years. I've been working on something for you and I can't wait for you to have this in your hands. I have never been more proud of anything that I've created. I cannot believe I'm getting so emotional. I have poured every ounce of my being, every part of me into this project. And I got to pull it

together here because today, I can finally tell you for the very first time that my new book, The Let Them Theory, is available for pre-order right now. You have no idea how many hours, how many tears, hell, there's tears going into me just telling you about the thing. But how many tears have gone into writing this book? Literal tears. Frustration, joy, laughter, so many early mornings, so many late nights.

I don't even know how many cups of coffee I've drank. In fact, this book, the LetThem Theory book, should probably be sponsored by coffee because I've basically been running on caffeine for the past two years to try to get this thing done. I have written, rewritten, reordered the book, rethought the book, reworked the book 11 times. Yes, I have rewritten this book 11 times. In fact, I have all the manuscripts right here. This is my strength training workout for the day. Having these puppies all on my lap. I would literally turn in a manuscript and be like, oh my gosh, I'm finally done. It is so awesome. lap. I would literally turn in a manuscript and be like,

oh my gosh, I'm finally done. It is so awesome. And then I would wake up a few days later and be like, oh, holy cow, I forgot something. Wait a minute. And I would then call my publisher and beg them. I gotta have the manuscript back. I'm not done.

I did that 11 times. I'm actually shocked that my publisher didn't fire me for my own book. And here's why I am so emotional and I'm also so obsessed about the Let Them Theory book. I poured my heart and soul into this. I really did. I just wanted this to be... I can't believe how emotional I'm getting. I wanted this to be the most impactful book that it could be for you. I really just pushed myself to make sure that every story would be so relatable and would strike this balance between being funny but also profound at the same time.

I want you to see yourself and the people that you love and the relationships that you're in in every single word of this book. I wrote it. I rewrote it because I want this to hit you deeply and I want it to change your life. That's why I obsessed over this book because you deserve something truly amazing. You deserve an incredible book from someone who cares so much about you. You deserve something that makes your relationships
