Stutz — on Netflix
Every so often a documentary comes along that does more than just tell a story—it holds up a mirror to the human experience.
Stutz, directed by Jonah Hill, is one of those rare films. It’s a candid exploration of mental health, the therapeutic process, and the tools we all need to navigate life’s inevitable challenges.
What makes it compelling isn’t just the intimacy between filmmaker and therapist — with Hill literally turning the tables on his own therapist — but the clarity with which Stutz shares his frameworks. He transforms complex ideas into accessible, actionable tools — something that feels especially relevant for people navigating everyday life in uncertain times. And we love his tiny sketches — IYKYK.
With an incredible client list of people like Johan Hill and Gwenyth Paltrow, Stutz has been the go-to therapist for many conventionally ‘successful’ people — who hold him in high regard.
For anyone serious about growth — whether personal or professional — Stutz is essential viewing. It’s not just a film about therapy; it’s a film about living well.
Mel Robbins — ‘Let Them’ tour in London.
This month we had the opportunity to experience Mel Robbins' Let Them tour in London.
Here’s an overview of the core messages of the evening:
— The concept of Let Them is about letting go of control. Instead of spending our energy trying to fix, change, or manage other people, she encouraged us to accept others as they are — and focus instead on how we choose to live, respond, and protect our peace. It’s about setting boundaries based on reality, not potential, and reclaiming our freedom to live intentionally.
— The evening centred around the theme: “This Is The Year I…” a reminder of the power of goal-setting and focused intention — and that whilst it’s a simple and familiar concept, so many people do not set goals, hold a long-term vision for their lives, or take purposeful action each day in an intentional direction.
— In a world full of distractions, we’re often unknowingly draining our time and energy on two major things: other people vying for our attention, and our phones. Mel challenged us to be more conscious about who and what has access to our attention — reinforcing that if we don't guard it, the world will consume it for us.
— With so much happening in the world right now, Mel reflected on how it's easy to believe that a bad few months (or even years) means you’re headed for a bad life — but that’s simply not true. It was a reminder to zoom out, maintain perspective, and remember that life is long if we're lucky. There’s still so much we can build, create, and experience in the time ahead - we have just got to start.
— We often overthink ourselves into procrastination, self-doubt, and delay — and her simple 5 Second Rule (count down from 5 and take action) can snap us out of hesitation and into action. She believes that motivation is complete nonsense and that the only way to build motivation is to take action.
The messaging was extremely simple and basic, but I suppose that was her ultimate point — it’s not that complicated, no one is coming, and we have to create the life and career we want for ourselves or it will never happen. It all starts by setting goals, taking action and prioritising ourselves.
'Let Them' is on track to become the most successful Self Help book of all time, and Mel currently has the No.1 podcast in the world.
