It was New Year’s Day 2025; and to help set my intentions for the year, I chose a self-help audible to accompany me on a day’s long nature hike: The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. I thought, how cool for someone famous to take a poem written by an unknown and turn it into a book. I was looking forward to hearing about the woman who originated the entire “Let Them Movement” (not to be confused with originating the philosophy of “let Them” as a concept), Cassie Phillips, in her poem Let Them that went viral in 2022 after she got a tattoo of the words she penned.
