On her son’s prom night, Mel Robbins fussed over details that didn’t matter. Her daughter grabbed her arm and said, “Let them. Let them run in the rain. Let them eat where they want. Let them.” Those two simple words hit Mel like a ton of bricks and completely changed how she thinks about control.

Yap gang, 2025 is a year of change for me. I'm single and there's nothing tying me down to Jersey anymore. And so I'm looking to set up residence in Texas or Florida.
And I've got to stay there at least six months and one day so that I can save on taxes and switch up my dating pool. Now it's a toss up between Miami and Austin. I'm super familiar with Miami, but I haven't really explored Austin much. And with so many entrepreneurs raving about it, I've at least got to test it out.
So I rented a beautiful home on Airbnb with my business partner this winter so that we could try out Austin and see if it's the right fit for us. Now, I don't really know what I'm going to do in terms of the city I'm living in next year for most of the year, but I do know what I'm going to do with my pad when I'm not in it. And that's hosting on Airbnb, of course.
The thing is, when it comes to hosting my place on Airbnb, I don't want to worry about the hosting part. I'm so busy with my company and my podcast, and now dating is also a full-time job. But now with Airbnb's new co-host network, I won't have to worry about it. That's right, hosting on Airbnb just got a whole lot easier.
With Airbnb's co-host network, you can hire a high quality local co-host to take care of your home and guests. Vetted on Airbnb, co-hosts have knowledge in the hosting space and can help get your investment properties set up for you. Imagine having somebody who can handle reservations, guest communication, and onsite support so that you can handle other things.
Now, while I'm busy finding myself a cowboy, you can go find yourself a co-host at airbnb.com slash host.
The moment you have an instinct to move, you have to move within five seconds or your brain will kill your motivation to act.
