- 686 - If You Can’t Get Over Your Ex—Listen to This! (7 Steps to Stop Obsessing and FINALLY Move on After a Breakup)
Do you still think about your ex a lot?
What’s been the hardest part of moving on?
Today, Jay shares a heartfelt and practical guide for anyone moving through heartbreak. He explains that the pain of a breakup often comes from more than just losing someone, but it’s grieving the life we imagined with them and the version of ourselves we felt when we were loved.
Jay walks through seven clear steps to help listeners begin their healing journey. From gaining clarity to quieting the overthinking spiral and finding your own closure, he offers real, actionable tools to help you move forward. Jay reminds listeners that you’re not missing them, you’re missing the idea of them. And that pain doesn’t mean the relationship was meant to be, it means you cared.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Stop Romanticizing the Past
How to Stop Blaming Yourself
How to Rebuild After a Breakup
How to Trust Yourself Again
How to Know It Wasn’t Love
Healing is possible even if it doesn't feel like it right now. It’s not about getting back to who you were before, it’s about becoming someone stronger, wiser, and more self-aware.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Do you ever feel like you need others to approve of your choices?
When was the last time you did something just for yourself?
In this heartfelt episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty sits down with award-winning actress and singer Cynthia Erivo for a raw and inspiring conversation. Cynthia opens up about her whirlwind year—filming back to back movies, performing at the Oscars, and pouring her soul into her deeply personal new album, I Forgive You. Even in the busiest seasons of her life, Cynthia is discovering the power of stillness—making space to rest, reset, and care for herself mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Cynthia opens up about the emotional weight she’s carried—the pain of feeling abandoned by her father and the relentless pressure to keep proving herself. She and Jay explore the exhausting chase for external approval—and how it often leads to burnout, disconnection, and a version of success that doesn’t feel like yours. Cynthia’s path has been one of unlearning—releasing fear-based patterns and learning to create from a place of wholeness. Her journey is one of deep self-reflection and healing, which shines through in her new music.
Together, Jay and Cynthia unpack what it really means to own your truth, make peace with your past, and finally feel at home in the present. Cynthia’s stories of heartbreak, transformation, and creative rebirth offer powerful insights for anyone navigating change or searching for their purpose. This episode is rich with wisdom, warmth, and a reminder that healing and growth are always possible.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Build Daily Habits That Ground You Anywhere
How to Embrace Rest Without Guilt
How to Heal from the Need for External Validation
How to Let Go of the Pressure to Overachieve
How to Share Your True Self Without Fear
How to Create from a Place of Love, Not Pain
Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, chasing your dreams, or simply learning how to slow down, know this: you are allowed to evolve, to let go, and to begin again.

Jay Shetty

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 - 683 - If Your Life Hasn’t Gone to Plan — This is For YOU! (6 Step Framework To Take Back Control and Build The Life You Want!)
What part of your life feels off track right now?
Have you been listening more to your fear or your intuition?
Today, Jay explores what it means to lose control—and why that may be exactly where transformation begins. When plans fall apart and expectations go unmet, the mind defaults to self-blame and shame. But Jay offers a different perspective: perhaps this is not failure, but the unplanned beginning of something better.
Guided by his background in monkhood and supported by research from neuroscience and psychology, Jay introduces six transformative practices for navigating life’s plot twists with intention and grace. He explains how to distinguish between the loud voice of the inner critic and the quiet wisdom of intuition, why guilt and shame block growth, and how letting go of the illusion of control can create space for something far greater than imagined.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Quiet Your Inner Critic
How to Reframe Failure as Redirection
How to Speak to Yourself with Kindness
How to Respond to Setbacks Instead of Resisting Them
How to Stay Grounded When the Plan Falls Apart
How to Let Curiosity Lead You Forward, Not Fear
Control isn’t about perfect plans, it’s about presence. And what seems like an ending might just be the beginning of a more meaningful path.

Jay Shetty

Fri, 13 Jun 2025 - 682 - Wim Hof: Do THIS 10-Minute Breathing Exercise And ACTUALLY Lower Your Risk of Disease And Calm Your Anxiety
How do you usually calm down?
Have you heard about breathing for anxiety relief?
Today, Jay welcomes back world-renowned breathwork pioneer and “Iceman” Wim Hof to explore how the human body and mind are capable of far more than we believe. Together, they dive into the origins of the Wim Hof Method and how it harnesses the transformative power of breath, cold exposure, and commitment to unlock profound healing, emotional resilience, and spiritual clarity.
Wim shares the emotional story of how his mother’s invocation at his birth and the tragic loss of his wife became catalysts for his life’s mission: to help others reconnect with their inner strength and soul purpose. He explains how breathwork and cold immersion can help regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, conquer anxiety, and even break through grief and trauma. Jay and Wim also discuss the simplicity of the method, its scientific validation, and how surrender and intention unlock states of consciousness once thought to be out of reach.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Reduce Inflammation Naturally with Breathing Techniques
How to Strengthen Your Immune System in Just 30 Minutes
How to Calm Anxiety Through Simple Daily Breathwork
How to Access Inner Peace by Controlling Your Breath
How to Unlock Your True Potential in Just One Week
You are far more powerful than you realize. Whether you're battling anxiety, feeling stuck, or simply looking to reconnect with yourself, the tools you need are already within you—your breath, your body, and your willingness to try.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
Safety Disclaimer:
Don't do the Wim Hof breathing in a swimming pool, before going underwater, beneath the shower, or piloting any vehicle. Always practice sitting or lying down in a safe environment. Tinnitus symptoms may appear as a result of pushing too forcefully during the breathing exercise. If this happens, take a step back in your future practice – it's important to increase gradually, not forcefully!

Are you keeping this friendship out of habit or love?
If they weren’t in your life today, would you try to be friends again?
In this profoundly insightful episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty sits down with Simon Sinek, renowned leadership expert, bestselling author, and host of the podcast, A Bit of Optimism. Jay and Simon share a deeply vulnerable and powerful conversation about what it truly means to be human in a world that’s more connected than ever, yet so emotionally disconnected. Together, they explore the foundational role of friendships, belonging, and purpose in building meaningful lives and relationships.
Jay opens up about his own transformation and the early influence of Simon’s book Start with Why, while Simon reflects on the personal journey behind his body of work, emphasizing that all leadership is, at its core, about human connection. They speak candidly about how burnout often stems from loneliness, the fragile nature of adult friendships, the difficulty many have in celebrating others’ success, and the healing power of emotional honesty in relationships. With wisdom, humor, and emotional clarity, Simon breaks down how we can show up more authentically for ourselves and for those we love—even when it’s uncomfortable.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Support a Friend Without Trying to Fix Them
How to Know When It’s Time to Let a Friendship Go

How to Recognize Burnout as a Sign of Loneliness
This episode is a powerful reminder that being imperfect is what makes us human, and that real connection isn’t built on perfection, but on the willingness to be present, authentic, and compassionate.

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 - 680 - Stop Chasing Emotionally Unavailable People (Listen To This To Attract a Long Term Relationship And Stop Wasting Your Time In The Wrong Ones) With Lisa Bilyeu
Have you ever found yourself holding onto someone who couldn’t fully open up to you?
Have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than you should have, hoping things would finally get better?
In today’s episode, I’m doing something a little different. My good friend Lisa Bilyeu flips the script and interviews me. Lisa is the co-founder of the billion-dollar company Quest Nutrition, founder of Women of Impact, and one of the most honest, fearless voices I know when it comes to growth, relationships, and empowerment. Together, we unpack some of the most misunderstood truths about relationships, from why we settle to how we can start making choices rooted in self-worth rather than fear.
We talk about how to stop crowd-sourcing your most important life decisions and why learning to listen to your own voice—without all the outside opinions—is one of the most healing things you can do. I share the real reason many of us struggle with being alone, how to break the cycle of chasing emotionally unavailable partners, and why true love should feel like peace—not anxiety dressed up as passion.
This episode is about so much more than dating. It’s about rebuilding your self-worth one choice at a time. I walk you through my 5 daily habits that help me build inner confidence, how to tell when you’re compromising in love versus losing yourself, and the honest questions you need to ask before deciding whether to stay—or walk away.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Stop Settling and Start Choosing From Confidence
How to Trust Your Intuition Without Second-Guessing Yourself
How to Break Free From the Fear of Being Alone
How to Create Peace In Order to Attract a Healthy Relationship
How to Know If You’re Compromising or Abandoning Yourself
How to Build Self-Worth With 5 Simple Daily Habits
I’m so grateful to Lisa for creating this space. I hope it brings you a deeper sense of direction, healing, and the reminder that you are always worth choosing—especially by yourself.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 - 678 - Sleep Expert Matthew Walker: Do THIS to Sleep Through The Night And Never Wake Up Tired Again
How well did you sleep last night?
Do you wake up feeling rested?
Today, Jay welcomes renowned neuroscientist, sleep expert, and bestselling author Dr. Matthew Walker to unpack the profound importance of sleep and how it shapes every facet of our health and wellbeing. Bestselling author of Why We Sleep, Dr. Matthew Walker brings scientific rigor and heartfelt clarity to one of the most misunderstood and underestimated aspects of our lives.
Matthew opens the discussion by challenging the myth of the 'eight-hour rule.' While the average adult does best with seven to nine hours of sleep, the focus quickly shifts beyond just duration. Instead, Matthew introduces a more holistic four part framework—Quantity, Quality, Regularity, and Timing, or QQRT. This framework highlights how sleep is not simply about how long one sleeps, but also how deeply, how consistently, and how well it aligns with our natural biological rhythms.
Jay and Matthew's conversation also tackles common disruptors of restorative sleep, including caffeine, alcohol, and excessive exposure to artificial light. Dr. Walker discusses how these elements can interfere with the brain’s ability to enter deep and REM sleep, the latter being especially important for emotional processing, hormonal regulation, and memory consolidation. Sleep, it turns out, influences far more than individual health.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Know If You’re Getting Enough Sleep
How to Improve Sleep Using the QQRT Formula
How to Align Your Sleep With Your Body’s Internal Clock
How to Avoid Waking Up Tired Every Morning
How to Optimize Your Evening Routine for Better Sleep
How to Fall Back Asleep After Waking Up at Night
How to Diagnose Sleep Apnea at Home
With scientific insight and practical wisdom, the episode paints a vivid picture of how sleep, when prioritized and protected, can serve as a catalyst for healing, clarity, and sustainable energy.

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 - 677 - Stop Chasing Love! (How to Shift Your Mindset to Start Attracting It) With Tinx
How do you know when someone is truly right for you?
Have you ever confused attention for love?
In this special crossover episode, Jay Shetty steps out of his usual host role and joins media personality Tinx on her podcast, Office Hours, for a candid and profoundly enriching conversation. Jay opens up about his journey with meditation, relationships, and personal well-being. He breaks meditation down into simple, approachable practices like breathwork, visualization, and mantra, making it accessible to anyone who’s ever felt like they ‘can’t meditate.’
Jay and Tinx go deeper, unpacking the digital overwhelm of the constant pings, nonstop news, and the pressure of staying connected. Jay shares practical strategies for reclaiming your peace, especially in the crucial first moments of the day. From changing how we wake up to choosing when and how we consume news, he emphasizes building rituals that foster clarity rather than chaos.
Jay explains the concept of love through the three key relationship types: the firework, the candle, and the mirror. He challenges the idea of “one soulmate,” suggesting instead that the people we attract reflect where we are in our own growth and emotional state. The conversation is filled with insight into how to find peace in your singlehood, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and create a life that naturally attracts meaningful connection.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
How to Start Meditating When You Feel Stuck
How to Use Breathwork to Calm Anxiety Instantly
How to Build a Tech-Free Morning Routine
How to Consume News Without Feeling Overwhelmed
How to Create Real Human Connection in a Digital World
Remember, peace shouldn't be something you have to chase—it’s something you can create, right here, right now.

Fri, 30 May 2025 - 676 - If You’re a People Pleaser Listen to This! (Why Putting Yourself First Isn’t Selfish, It’s Necessary For Real Connection)
Do you feel guilty when you put your needs before others by saying no?
When was the last time you chose yourself—just because you needed it, not because you earned it?
Today, Jay is joined by Meggan Roxanne, writer, entrepreneur, and founder of the globally loved platform The Good Quote. Known for curating some of the internet’s most powerful and inspiring affirmations, Meggan now steps into the spotlight with her own voice, sharing a remarkable personal story of loss, resilience, and transformation.
From growing up in a warm and loving home to experiencing a heart-wrenching moment at just four years old, when a grandparent told her they didn’t love her, Meggan opens up about how early trauma shaped her emotional world. Following her mother’s final wish, Meggan became the caretaker for her estranged grandfather, the very man who once wounded her deeply. Through that act of grace, she discovered the true meaning of forgiveness, empathy, and unconditional love.
Throughout the episode, Meggan and Jay explore the difference between people-pleasing and creating space for authentic connection, how emotional boundaries protect our well-being, and what it takes to stop repeating the pain we’ve inherited. She candidly discusses the challenges of grief, especially after losing her mother, her best friend, her guide, and how that loss forced her to reimagine her identity and rebuild from the ground up.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Forgive Someone Who Hurt You Deeply
How to Set Boundaries Without Feeling Guilty
How to Heal After Losing a Parent
How to Reconnect with Your Intuition
How to Break Generational Cycles of Trauma
How to Build Confidence Through Self-Respect
Even in the darkest of seasons, you have the power to find peace, reshape your path, and step into a life guided by intention, healing, and light.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Wed, 28 May 2025 - 675 - Sadia Khan: Stop Ignoring Red Flags! (How to Train Your Brain to Know When To Walk Away)
Does anything in your life feel a little “off” right now?
Do you feel like you're settling for less than you deserve?
Today, Jay sits down with Sadia Khan, psychotherapist and relationship expert, for a deep and unfiltered conversation on love, commitment, and emotional healing in the modern age. Known for her bold and counterintuitive insights, Sadia brings clarity to the often murky waters of dating, self-worth, and relationship dynamics.
Sadia shares her powerful perspective on the importance of being able to walk away from disrespect, and how this one shift can transform who you attract and how you're treated. She challenges conventional dating advice by focusing not on what you attract—but what you entertain—highlighting the role of self-esteem in relationship choices. She explains why emotional unavailability feels attractive, how ghosting reflects poor communication habits, and why your dating app rejection might not be what you think it is.
Jay and Sadia dive into the core issues many of her clients face, including infidelity, fear of commitment, and men struggling with masculinity. She unpacks how a lack of male role models, the ability to set boundaries, and people-pleasing behaviors can derail modern masculinity—and how both men and women can break these cycles to build healthier love.
Sadia introduces the "Three A’s" women need to fall in love—Attraction, Admiration, and Adoration—and the "Three L’s" men need—Lust, Labor, and Loyalty—exploring how balance in these elements creates deep, lasting connection. She also breaks down why women might cheat on “nice” men and how misunderstanding emotional needs can lead to betrayal.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to Attract and Maintain Healthy Relationships.
Why Self-Worth is the Foundation of Love.
How to Avoid the Trap of Emotional Immaturity.
What Makes Men and Women Truly Commit.
The Real Reasons Behind Infidelity.
How to Build Masculine Strength in a Healthy Way.
Why Peace is Better than Constant Pleasure in Love.
This conversation is a masterclass in emotional intelligence and healing. If you're navigating heartbreak, struggling with self-worth, or seeking a deep, lasting relationship—this episode is for you.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Wed, 21 May 2025 - 672 - Communication Expert Vinh Giang: Why You Keep Getting Interrupted (How to Use Your Voice So People ACTUALLY Listen)
Do you feel like people often cut you off when you're talking?
When was the last time someone really listened to you?
Today, Jay sits down with international keynote speaker and communication coach Vinh Giang for an inspiring conversation about building real confidence and finding your voice. Together, they dive into how the way we speak, and how we feel about speaking, isn’t something we’re born with, but a skill you build through experience, self-awareness, and practice.
Vinh breaks down the myth that confident speakers are just born that way. Through his simple “four stages of competence” framework, he explains how with the right tools and consistent practice—anyone can become a powerful communicator, even if you’re naturally shy or introverted. It’s not about changing your personality; it’s about learning to manage your energy and use your voice with intention.
Throughout the episode, Vinh shares easy, practical tips, like how to stop people from interrupting you in meetings, how to sound more confident, and how to use your voice to its full potential. One of the most touching parts of the conversation is when Vinh opens up about his father, a refugee who didn’t understand his career choice at first, but later became his biggest supporter. It’s a reminder that communication isn’t just about being heard, it’s also about understanding, connecting, and growing in every part of life.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Move from Shy to Confident with Communication
How to Master the Four Stages of Speaking Competence
How to Build Self-Awareness with the Record & Review Method
How to Boost Vocal Presence and Authority Instantly
How to Communicate Effectively as an Introvert
How to Reframe “Fake” as “Unfamiliar” When Practicing New Skills
Whether you’re a seasoned speaker, a reluctant communicator, or someone simply yearning to be heard, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, equipped, and encouraged to use your voice, not just to speak, but to be seen.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

When was the last time you looked back and thought, “If only I knew this earlier”?
In this episode, Jay shares the seven life-changing lessons he wishes he’d learned in his teens and twenties—insights that could have reshaped his relationships, career, peace of mind, and sense of purpose. These aren’t just reflections; they’re powerful revelations most of us only discover through struggle, heartbreak, or burnout.
Jay dives into what it truly means to speak with intention, to know when it’s time to let go, and to stop outsourcing your self-worth. From learning to stay quiet in a world that rewards noise to realizing that boundaries are an act of self-love—each lesson is a powerful reminder that growth isn’t always about adding more, but about releasing what no longer serves you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why Saying Less Makes Your Words Matter More.
Knowing When It’s Time to Walk Away
Why You Should Talk To People, Not About Them.
What Stress Reveals About a Person’s True Nature.

How to Stop Absorbing Others' Emotions and Expectations.
This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, overlooked, or overwhelmed. Jay reminds you that you don’t get what you deserve — you get what you accept. And that sometimes the most powerful transformation happens when you choose peace over performance, presence over perfection, and truth over approval.

Wed, 14 May 2025 - 669 - Vanessa Van Edwards: Stop Overthinking Every Social Interaction! (Use THESE Cues to Be Liked, Respected, and Build Confidence in Every Conversation)
What usually holds you back from starting a conversation?
Can you remember a time you avoided someone out of fear of saying the wrong thing?
Jay sits down with behavioral researcher and bestselling author Vanessa Van Edwards for a powerful conversation that blends science, honesty, and so many surprising moments. Vanessa, who refers to herself as a “recovering awkward person,” shares how her biggest social struggles became the driving force behind her mission to crack the code on human connection.
Together, Jay and Vanessa dive into the fascinating world of charisma, exploring the 97 cues, from eye contact to tone of voice, that quietly shape how we’re seen and understood. Vanessa breaks down why so many of us feel overlooked or underestimated—and introduces “signal amplification bias,” a concept that explains why the signals you think you’re sending might not be landing the way you expect. Vanessa shows us how confidence isn’t always something you’re born with but something you can build, with intention and awareness.
The conversation goes even deeper as they unpack the tricky balance between warmth and competence, especially for women in the workplace, and how vulnerability isn’t a weakness, but often your greatest strength. They explore how to create those magic “me too” moments that form instant connections, spot the hidden red flags in communication, and let go of the need to be liked by everyone in order to be truly seen by the right people.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Make a Great First Impression Without Saying a Word
How to Break the Ice with a Simple “Hey”
How to Balance Warmth and Competence in Any Conversation
How to Create Connection Using “Me Too” Moments
How to Exit a Conversation Gracefully (Without Offending Anyone)
How to Spot a Liar Using Body Language and Micro-Expressions

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 - 662 - You Are Not Responsible For Other People’s Feelings (How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt)
When was the last time you actually put yourself first, no matter what anyone else thought?
Have you ever felt a wave of guilt just for trying to set boundaries and protect your peace?
Today, Jay dives into a powerful idea: letting go of the responsibilities that were never really yours to begin with. So many of us carry the weight of other people’s expectations, emotions, and opinions — and it leaves us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves. Jay unpacks how we often take on things like managing how others feel or trying to live up to impossible standards, and how doing that can block us from real freedom, creativity, and growth.
Throughout the episode, Jay reinforces the message that boundaries are not selfish but necessary for healthy relationships and self-respect. He reminds us that our worth isn’t something we have to earn by meeting expectations or chasing approval. When we stop trying to control things that aren’t really ours to manage, life feels lighter, more real, and full of possibility.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Stop Absorbing Other People’s Emotions
How to Let Go of Unrealistic Expectations
How to Support Others Without Fixing Their Problems
How to Maintain Your Own Emotional Balance
How to Prioritize Your Well-Being Over Pleasing Others
Remember, life becomes lighter when you let go of what was never yours to carry. No matter what challenges you face, trust that you are enough just as you are, and you have the strength to live authentically.

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 - 661 - Humble the Poet: Transform Your Relationship With Anxiety (6 Strategies for Overthinkers
What usually makes you feel anxious?
How do you calm yourself when you’re worried?
Today, Jay welcomes back for the third time, his good friend Humble the Poet. This time Jay and Humble unpack the rich wisdom from his latest book, Unlearned: 50 Simple Truths to Help Overthinkers Feel Less Stress and More Calm. Their candid, soulful dialogue offers a compassionate exploration of anxiety, emotional resilience, and personal growth.
Humble begins by reframing anxiety not as a condition to be cured, but as a signal for deeper self awareness. Rather than diagnosing anxious feelings, he encourages listeners to build a new relationship with anxiety, one rooted in curiosity, compassion, and personal empowerment. Through engaging stories and honest reflections, Humble emphasizes that anxiety often arises when our minds overestimate threats and underestimate our own capabilities. Humble emphasizes that managing anxiety isn't about eliminating it, but about strengthening our ability to face it, while building resilience through consistent, courageous actions.
Humble recounts his raw and personal experience of how familial expectations and childhood coping mechanisms continue to shape adult anxieties. Together, they talk through setting boundaries with loved ones, not as acts of rebellion, but as invitations for healthier relationships. Humble poignantly differentiates between true guilt and people-pleasing, and how the latter can sabotage our sense of self.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Reframe Anxiety as a Signal, Not a Problem
How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt
How to Turn Curiosity Into Courage
How to Stop People-Pleasing and Start Honoring Yourself
How to Get Comfortable With Uncertainty
How to Find Belonging Instead of Forcing Fit-In
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply curious about how to manage anxiety differently, this episode is a compassionate and energizing guide to becoming “Unanxious”, one empowering truth at a time.

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 - 659 - Is Your Ex Keeping You From Finding Real Love? 5 Hidden Signs You Are Missing
Do you ever feel stuck in the same dating patterns?
Do you think your past relationship is still affecting you?
Today, Jay unpacks the powerful and often hidden influence our past relationships have on our current dating pattern. Drawing from psychological research and personal reflection, Jay explores the concept of repetition compulsion—the unconscious tendency to recreate emotional patterns from our past, especially in romantic relationships. He reveals how our early attachments, particularly those with our parents and first loves, shape the way we love, what we fear, and even who we are drawn to.
With compassion and clarity, Jay outlines the five key signs that your ex—or more accurately, your past relationship wounds—might still be holding the steering wheel in your current dating life. He then re-introduces the attachment theory, helping them identify their own attachment styles—whether anxious, avoidant, or secure—and how these styles play out in their romantic behaviors. His message is clear: you are not broken, you are patterned—and patterns can be changed.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Recognize When Your Past Is Sabotaging Your Love Life
How to Break the Cycle of Repeating Unhealthy Relationship Patterns
How to Tell the Difference Between Familiarity and Safety
How to Avoid Self-Sabotaging Healthy Relationships
How to Reparent Yourself and Meet Your Own Emotional Needs
This episode is both a compassionate wake-up call and a hopeful guide for anyone seeking to build healthier, more fulfilling love. Whether you're recovering from a breakup or simply ready to stop repeating the past, this is the episode that could shift everything.

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 - 657 - Dr. Vonda Wright: Formula to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle (Why your Current Workout is Not Giving You Results)
How often do you work out?
What’s been the biggest challenge in your fitness journey so far?
In today’s episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in active aging and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay feeling youthful as you age, lose stubborn fat, and improve your sleep,, this conversation is packed with life changing insights.
Jay and Dr. Wright start by debunking the myth that aging is an inevitable decline. Dr. Wright explains how lifestyle choices in your 20s and 30s directly impact how you feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. They dive into how excess fat, especially around the belly, isn’t just about appearance—it’s a sign of inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Wright shares how movement, muscle mass, and diet play a crucial role in fat loss and energy levels.
They also explore the powerful body-brain connection. Dr. Wright breaks down how physical activity releases key proteins that protect the brain from cognitive decline and diseases like dementia. Jay and Dr. Wright discuss how poor sleep can sabotage fat loss, slow down recovery, and disrupt hormones—leading to more cravings, weight gain, and reduced longevity.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How fat storage impacts aging and energy levels.
The critical role of sleep in weight loss and brain function.
How movement and muscle mass keep you youthful.
How lifestyle choices in your 30s affect long-term health.
Why fitness-based friendships can improve your health.
If you want to stay sharp, maintain a healthy weight, and build lasting habits that help you thrive for decades, this episode gives you the tools to start now.

Mon, 14 Apr 2025 - 656 - Why Making New Friends Feels Exhausting As An Adult (And How to Make It Easier)
Do you find it hard to make new friends lately?
Have your friendships changed as you've gotten older?
Why does making new friends as an adult feel like running a marathon with no finish line? Today, Jay takes us on a thoughtful journey into the world of adult friendships — where connections aren’t forged on playgrounds or dorm rooms anymore, but instead in between meetings, family commitments, and the weight of life’s expectations.
Jay peels back the layers of why forming new bonds can feel so exhausting as we grow older. He reveals how our changing priorities, unhealed wounds, and limited energy all shape how — and with whom — we connect. With warmth and wisdom, he invites us to explore what true friendship really looks like in adulthood, and why it’s less about quantity and more about alignment, presence, and purpose.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Let Go of Friendships That No Longer Serve You
How to Stop Forcing Deep Bonds Too Quickly
How to Approach Friendship with Curiosity Instead of Expectation
How to Stay Open to New Relationships at Any Age
How to Cultivate Meaningful Conversations that Matter
Friendships don’t have to be instant to be real. Trust that the right connections will meet you when you show up as your authentic self.

Do you ever pretend to be confident when you’re not?
When do you feel most confident?
What if real confidence isn’t loud or visible—but built quietly in the moments no one else sees? In today's Jay's Must-Listens, Jay explores the powerful theme of inner confidence—not the kind rooted in outside validation or achievements, but the kind built slowly through learning to trust yourself, commitment to showing up, and living with purpose.
Throughout the episode, Jay draws from powerful moments with past guests and their helpful insights. He shares a moment from his conversation with Kendall Jenner, where she opened up about experiencing anxiety and how even people who appear confident outwardly are often battling internal struggles. Jay also references insights from Lisa Bilyeu, who spoke about repetition and how confidence is built by proving to yourself—again and again—that you can do hard things.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Build Confidence Without External Validation
How to Create a Daily Confidence-Boosting Practice
How to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Discipline
How to Build Confidence Through Repetition and Consistency
How to Anchor Yourself with Purpose, Not Praise
How to Redefine Confidence as Clarity and Alignment

Mon, 07 Apr 2025 - 653 - Do This Every Morning to Boost Energy & Stay Focused (3 Minute Habit to Kickstart Your Day)
Do you have a morning routine?
How do you usually boost your energy in the morning?
Today, Jay explores a challenge we all face, feeling drained, exhausted, and overwhelmed. He reminds us that rest isn’t a luxury but a necessity, and pushing ourselves too hard only leads to burnout. In this episode, he shares simple yet powerful strategies to help us reclaim our energy, set better boundaries, and shift our mindset from perfectionism to progress.
One key lesson is focusing on progress instead of perfection. Many of us wait for the “perfect” moment, but that often keeps us from starting at all. Jay also encourages us to spot and fix our energy leaks—those unnoticed habits, relationships, or activities that quietly wear us down. Whether it’s spending time with people who drain us, sitting through unnecessary meetings, or endlessly scrolling on social media, these small but consistent drains add up. By recognizing them, we can take control and protect our energy.

How to Stop Feeling Drained and Reclaim Your Energy
How to Focus on Progress Instead of Perfection
How to Set Boundaries to Protect Your Time and Energy

Feeling drained and overwhelmed doesn’t have to be your norm. You have the power to take back your energy, set boundaries, and create a life that feels balanced and fulfilling.

Jay Shetty

Do you ever feel "behind" in dating?

Today, Jay unpacks the most common misconceptions about dating at this stage in life and shares empowering insights on how to navigate relationships with confidence and clarity. He begins by tackling the biggest myth that holds so many people back—the belief that they’re “too late” or “falling behind” in their search for love.
Jay also explores the key differences between dating in your 20s versus your 30s. While your 20s are a period of self-discovery—figuring out deal-breakers, learning from mistakes, and often getting caught up in dating games—your 30s bring a new level of clarity and intention.

How to Overcome the Fear of Being "Too Late" in Dating
How to Stop Settling and Start Prioritizing What You Deserve

How to Reduce Stress and Anxiety Through Breathwork
How to Use Movement to Improve Brain Health
How to Identify Your Personal Stress Cues

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 - 643 - Lewis Howes: The Scarcity Belief That’s Blocking You from Making Money & How to Feel Rich Even When You’re Broke
Have you ever avoided looking at your finances?
If money were a person, how would you describe your relationship with it?
Today, Jay welcomes back his long time friend, Lewis Howes, a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and former professional athlete. He is the host of The School of Greatness podcast, one of the top-ranked business and self-development shows in the world, where he interviews some of the most influential leaders in business, wellness, and personal growth.
The conversation highlights key principles for transforming one's financial mindset, including the power of awareness, gratitude, and generosity. Jay and Lewis examine how early experiences with money influence current financial behaviors and emphasize the importance of developing a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. By recognizing and reshaping these beliefs, financial opportunities can be approached with clarity and confidence.
Lewis emphasizes on the distinction between making money easy and chasing easy money. While many seek quick financial success, they explore the pitfalls of short-term thinking and the long-term benefits of building sustainable wealth through skill development, strategic planning, and emotional resilience. The concept of mapping out financial goals is introduced as a way to create structure and direction in money management.
In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Shift from a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 - 635 - How to Manifest Your Dream Partner this Year (Desperation is BLOCKING You)
What qualities do you truly want in a partner?
Do you believe in manifestation when it comes to love?
Today, Jay explores how you can break free from insecurity and build lasting confidence using science-backed techniques and practical mindset shifts. Jay opens the episode by addressing the invisible forces that keep us stuck in self-doubt, such as fear of failure, scarcity mindset, and negative self-talk. He explains that our brains are wired for survival, not confidence, which means that many of our insecurities stem from a natural instinct to protect ourselves from perceived threats.
Jay introduces seven powerful strategies for retraining the brain for confidence. First, he explains the importance of stopping the brain’s “threat detection system”, which makes us perceive challenges as dangers rather than opportunities. He then highlights unconscious competence, where we often fail to recognize the skills we’ve already mastered. By tapping into this, we can use our existing strengths as a foundation for greater self-assurance.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Overcome the Fear of Being Judged
How to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You
How to Take Control of Your Confidence
How to Shift from Self-Doubt to Self-Belief
How to Train Your Brain to Build Lasting Confidence
Confidence is not about being perfect; it’s about showing up, learning, and giving yourself the grace to evolve. You have everything within you to shift from doubt to self-trust.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 - 633 - LOVE EXPERT Stephan Speaks: 7 Ways You are Blocking Yourself From Meeting Your Soulmate (Change Your Patterns to Find the ONE)
Do you think your “type” limits you?
What’s one unrealistic dating expectation you’ve had?
Today, Jay welcomes back one of the most insightful voices in modern dating and relationships, Stephan Speaks. If you’ve been searching for clarity in love, struggling with self-worth in dating, or wondering why you keep attracting the wrong partners, this conversation is a must-listen.
Jay and Stephan kick off by breaking down one of the biggest struggles in today’s dating world—the negative perception of men and women. They explore how sensationalized online narratives and personal biases shape our beliefs about relationships, often distorting reality. Stephan explains how social media and exaggerated dating horror stories create unnecessary fear and distrust, making it harder for people to embrace love.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in a cycle of failed relationships, Stephan reveals that understanding yourself first is the key to finding the right partner. He emphasizes three critical factors: first, accepting the differences between men and women instead of resisting them; second, knowing yourself before entering a relationship, as many people struggle because they aren’t even clear on what they truly need; and third, prioritizing healing, because unresolved pain from past experiences will continue to affect every new connection.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Stop Letting Dating Myths Mislead You
How to Attract the Right Partner by Knowing Yourself
How to Heal Before Your Next Relationship
How to Communicate With a Closed-Off Partner
How to Break the Cycle of Failed Relationships
If you’ve felt frustrated, discouraged, or like love just isn’t in the cards for you, remember this: the right relationship isn’t something you chase, it’s something you attract by becoming the best version of yourself.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 - 632 - 7 Ways to Train Your Brain to Go From Insecurity to Confidence
How do you react when you feel insecure?
What past experience boosted your confidence?
Today, Jay explores how you can break free from insecurity and build lasting confidence using science-backed techniques and practical mindset shifts. Jay opens the episode by addressing the invisible forces that keep us stuck in self-doubt, such as fear of failure, scarcity mindset, and negative self-talk. He explains that our brains are wired for survival, not confidence, which means that many of our insecurities stem from a natural instinct to protect ourselves from perceived threats.
Jay introduces seven powerful strategies for retraining the brain for confidence. First, he explains the importance of stopping the brain’s “threat detection system”, which makes us perceive challenges as dangers rather than opportunities. He then highlights unconscious competence, where we often fail to recognize the skills we’ve already mastered. By tapping into this, we can use our existing strengths as a foundation for greater self-assurance.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Overcome the Fear of Being Judged
How to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You
How to Take Control of Your Confidence
How to Shift from Self-Doubt to Self-Belief
How to Train Your Brain to Build Lasting Confidence
Confidence is not about being perfect; it’s about showing up, learning, and giving yourself the grace to evolve. You have everything within you to shift from doubt to self-trust.

Fri, 31 Jan 2025 - 629 - Dr. Tara Swart: 4 Brain Hacks To Manifest Anything Into Your Life (Science-Backed Method!)
What’s one goal you want to manifest?
Have you tried visualization before?
Today, Jay welcomes neuroscientist, executive advisor, and bestselling author Dr. Tara Swart for a deeply engaging discussion on the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. Tara, author of The Source: The Secrets of the Universe, the Science of the Brain, shares her journey from a dual-cultural upbringing in North London to becoming a leading expert in neuroplasticity, manifestation, and the science of purpose.
Tara explains how rewiring the brain through neuroplasticity can help us shift our mindset and align with our goals. She introduces the concept of "magnetic desire," the alignment of one’s head, heart, and gut to pursue authentic and meaningful aspirations. The conversation explores the importance of moving beyond societal noise and external expectations to create a life of abundance, gratitude, and love.
Jay and Tara discuss how ancient practices such as chanting, drumming, and spending time in nature have been essential to human well-being for centuries and are increasingly validated by neuroscience today. Together, they unpack how practices like visualization, mindfulness, and connecting with nature are more than philosophical ideas—they are scientifically proven tools for personal growth and transformation.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Rewire Your Brain for Success
How to Use Visualization to Achieve Goals
How to Balance Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
How to Transform Negative Thoughts into Positive Actions
How to Build an Action Board for Manifestation

Mon, 27 Jan 2025 - 628 - Brain Expert: 6 Habits to Boost Focus & Concentration By 48 Percent (Hack Your Dopamine!) with TJ Power
How long can you stay focused on one task?
What distracts you the most when you’re trying to focus?
Today, Jay chats with neuroscientist and author TJ Power to uncover the science behind our brain’s chemistry and how it shapes our emotions, habits, and overall well-being. TJ, known for his expertise in optimizing dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (the "DOSE" chemicals), explains how modern lifestyles can disrupt our brain’s natural balance and offers practical strategies to realign it for a happier, healthier life.
TJ and Jay begin the discussion with the brain’s evolutionary design and its mismatch with the modern digital age. TJ explains how our ancestors earned dopamine through hard work and perseverance, but today’s quick-fix solutions like social media, instant gratification, and other overstimulating activities lead to addiction, low motivation, and even burnout.
They shift into actionable steps to break free from these patterns. From implementing a simple morning routine, such as resisting the urge to check your phone first thing, to engaging in cold water therapy, TJ emphasizes the importance of earning dopamine through effort rather than shortcuts. He also shares the groundbreaking idea of "phone fasting" and how small, consistent breaks from screens can reset your brain chemistry, improve focus, and enhance productivity.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Start Your Day with Action
How to Detox from Your Phone in the Morning
How to Earn Dopamine Naturally
How to Improve Sleep by Cutting Sugar and Screens
How to Practice Gratitude Daily
How to Reset Your Mind in Nature
Small changes, like starting your day with action, spending less time on your phone, and practicing gratitude, can have a profound impact on your mental well-being.
With Love and Gratitude,

He also opens up about his journey with fatherhood, the process of quitting Adderall, and how he manages trauma through intentional strategy and meditation.

Fri, 10 Jan 2025 - 623 - Mel Robbins: How to Use the ‘Let Them Theory’ (A Life Changing Mindset Hack That 15 Million People Can’t Stop Talking About)
Have you ever let someone just be themselves?
How do you remind yourself what’s in your control?
Today, Jay sits down with best-selling author and motivational speaker Mel Robbins to discuss her revolutionary “Let Them Theory.” Mel introduces a powerful mindset tool designed to help listeners take control of their thoughts, actions, and emotions while letting go of what they cannot control. This conversation dives into the heart of personal growth, resilience, and building a life centered on peace and purpose.
Mel begins by explaining the core of the “Let Them Theory,” which is about recognizing the limits of control. She emphasizes the importance of letting others be who they are, accepting situations as they unfold, and redirecting focus to what’s within your power. Through vivid examples, Mel demonstrates how this approach can reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and reclaim wasted energy.
Jay and Mel also explore the emotional weight of unmet expectations and the difference between “Let It Go” and “Let Them.” Mel shares how this subtle shift in mindset fosters empowerment rather than passivity.

What does a "rich life" mean to you?
Do you focus more on what you have or what you lack?

Drawing on personal experiences, historical insights, and anecdotes from his conversations with inspiring figures like Kobe Bryant and Tom Hanks, Jay illustrates how people can find peace and purpose by focusing on what genuinely matters.

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 - 602 - The Tell Them Method - How To Stop Holding On To Emotional Baggage and Regret
Have you ever regretted not saying something sooner?
Do you think holding in your emotions causes stress?
Today, Jay takes us on a journey through the principles of the Tell Them Method, explaining that whether it's a simple decision like not wanting to attend an event or a deeper emotion like feeling unappreciated, the key is to directly communicate those feelings to the person involved.

Jay uses relatable anecdotes and insights from research to underline the significance of expressing emotions in a healthy way. He discusses how bottled-up emotions can lead to passive-aggressive behavior, overreactions, and even health problems. By directly telling people how we feel—whether it’s disappointment, love, or frustration—Jay believes we open the door to deeper understanding and connection.

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 - 600 - 3 Things To Do If You're Still Not Over Your Ex

What has been the hardest part of moving on for you?
Today, Jay taps into the emotional complexities of getting over an ex and provides actionable steps to move forward.

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 - 598 - Can People Really Change? 3 Signs Someone Will Change
Have you ever struggled to change a habit?
Do you think forcing someone to change ever works?
Today, Jay dives deep into one of the most frequently asked questions: Can people really change? Drawing from a mix of personal stories, scientific research, and spiritual wisdom, Jay sheds light on the complexities of human behavior, how change unfolds, and why it can often seem so elusive.
One of the key insights Jay offers is the distinction between acknowledgment and accountability. Many people acknowledge they need to change, but accountability—taking full responsibility for how their actions impact others and making a concrete plan to improve—is much harder to achieve. Without this deeper level of self-awareness and commitment, lasting change remains out of reach.
Jay provides practical advice for those navigating relationships with people who seem resistant to change. He outlines key signs to look for that indicate someone is truly ready to change, including self-awareness, accountability, and a genuine desire to improve. He also stresses the importance of patience and empathy, reminding listeners that change is often a gradual process, filled with setbacks and oscillations between old and new behaviors.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to encourage change without forcing it
How to help someone become self-aware
How to support someone’s change process
How to communicate about change in relationships
How to accept that change must come from within
Patience, empathy, and an understanding of the complexities of human behavior are key to supporting both ourselves and others in the pursuit of meaningful evolution.

Jay Shetty

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 - 597 - Dr Joe Dispenza: 5 Ways You're Blocking Yourself from Manifesting Love & 7 Steps to Attract Genuine Love
Why are you blocking yourself from love?
What’s holding you back from attracting love?
Today, let's welcome once again Jay's good friend Dr Joe Dispenza - a New York Times best-selling author, researcher, lecturer, and corporate consultant, Dr Joe Dispenza has developed a practical formula to help people transform their lives. Dr Joe’s mission unifies complex branches of science in an approachable way – focused on proven research, “Stories of Transformation” testimonials, and the scientific data behind spontaneous remissions.
Joe discusses his groundbreaking work on how individuals can transform their lives by tapping into the power of their thoughts and emotions. The conversation is centered around how stress, survival instincts, and subconscious beliefs block us from manifesting love and positive changes in our lives, the importance of shifting from a reactive, stress-driven state to a heart-centered, creative one, and “becoming” the person you want to be by aligning thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with the future you desire, rather than the past you want to leave behind.
Jay and Joe discuss the mechanisms that prevent people from opening their hearts to love, focusing on how the survival mechanisms of the brain and body condition us to relive past traumas and fears. According to Joe, many people are trapped in a cycle of stress that keeps them disconnected from their true potential. He emphasizes the power of daily practices like meditation and emotional regulation to rewire the brain, shift belief systems, and attract the love and life one desires.

How to attract love by practicing joy and gratitude
How to rewire your brain by visualizing your desired future
How to heal emotionally with daily meditation

By shifting from a state of stress and survival to one of creation and love, we can not only heal from past traumas but also attract the relationships and experiences we truly desire. The key lies in aligning our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with the future we wish to create.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 - 593 - Andrew Huberman: How to Increase Your Dopamine by 60% & Optimize Your Brain’s Response to Stress
How do you usually handle stress in your life?
Have you ever tried anything to boost your dopamine levels?
Today, Jay welcomes back Dr. Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist and professor at Stanford University, known for his insightful work on brain development, neuroplasticity, and the intricate connection between the brain and body. Together, they discuss the neuroscience of friendship, exploring how our deep-rooted need for safety and acceptance plays a pivotal role in our social interactions. They unravel the paradox of modern society, where people feel emotionally distant despite increasing online connections and followers.
Dr. Huberman highlights how our brain circuitry, which governs social bonding and connectedness, is tightly linked to our need for predictability and safety. He breaks down how these fundamental needs influence our relationships, both in early development and throughout adulthood, and how understanding these mechanisms can help combat the loneliness epidemic many experience today.
Jay and Andrew discuss practical tools like sending a simple daily “good morning” text, which may seem trivial but has profound implications for maintaining connection and combating feelings of isolation. They also explore the value of doing hard things, such as cold plunges and structured routines, which anchor our physiology and create a sense of predictability, crucial for mental resilience and creativity.

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 - 589 - Nicole LePera: How to Break the Cycle of Trauma Bonds & Stop Toxic Relationship Habits

These bonds can feel familiar and even comforting, but they often prevent us from forming healthy, fulfilling relationships.
Jay and Nicole explore how awareness is the first step toward breaking these patterns. They emphasize the importance of understanding our subconscious beliefs and the roles we play in relationships, often unknowingly repeating cycles of pain and misunderstanding. She talks about the importance of staying present, learning to regulate our emotions, and building healthier habits that align with our true selves, and offers practical advice on how to navigate the complexities of love, whether it's setting boundaries with toxic family members or letting go of unrealistic expectations in romantic relationships.

How to recognize trauma bonds

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 - 587 - Nicky Jam: How to Forgive Yourself From the Past & Free Yourself From Shame and Trauma
Are you struggling to overcome your past trauma?
Are you looking for ways to heal from it?
Today, Jay sits down with renowned reggaeton artist and songwriter Nicky Jam. Nicky's music career took off after a series of successful mixtapes and collaborations with other artists, including Daddy Yankee, with whom he formed the iconic duo Los Cangris. His work has earned him international fame and multiple awards, establishing him as a major influence in the reggaeton and Latin trap genres.
Nicky recounts his first foray into music, packing groceries and freestyling at a supermarket, which inadvertently launched his career despite his young age and the informal nature of his work. He opens up about the difficulties of his upbringing, including his mother’s struggle with substance abuse and prostitution, shaping his understanding of normalcy and family life. This background set the stage for his initial break into the music industry, where early rejections and setbacks paved the way for his eventual success in the Puerto Rican mixtape scene and beyond.
Together with Jay, Nicky also discusses the challenges of maintaining authenticity and personal happiness amidst fame, expressing discomfort with being seen as a role model and emphasizing the importance of understanding and support for mental health, especially for men in the public eye.

How to handle early setbacks
How to deal with the pressure of expectations
How to use personal struggles as a source of strength
How to maintain creativity under pressure

How to help others through your work
