How to Design Your Life (A Full Step-by-Step Process)

Podcast cover

The Mel Robbins Podcast

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Mel interviews Professor Debbie Millman about designing the life you want. Debbie shares a three-step method, originating from an exercise taught by Milton Glaser, that involves envisioning your life ten years in the future and intentionally designing it. The discussion covers practical steps, including imagining a typical day, addressing fears and self-doubt, and the importance of dwelling in possibility rather than probability. They also discuss common mistakes people make when trying to design their lives, such as getting caught up in the process or comparing themselves to others. The episode emphasizes the power of intention, declaration, and creating opportunities to manifest a fulfilling and meaningful life. Listeners are encouraged to download a free workbook designed by Professor Millman to guide them through the process.
