We have a high school graduate! Emma Kelly graduated from high school and you’ll hear about graduation night. Kellie stumbled across a poll asking people who graduated years ago about their experiences and if they would go back and do it again. This led to some stories about Kellie that Allen never heard before! 

Allen and Bad Influence Jeff are heading to Mexico! If you want to tag along on a non-official podcast family vacation where you have to make your own reservations, then come on!

A lot has happened since Kellie and Allen’s last podcast!

Big Al performed a HUGE party foul at Emma Kelly’s graduation party. Kellie interviewed Tom Cruise at a screening of Mission Impossible and is still trying to decide whether she bombed or not. Kellie and Allen took a weekend road trip on their Can-Am Ryker and Canyon down to Texas Hill Country to ride the 3 Twisted Sisters. And Allen learned a hard lesson about eating overeating Chinese food mispronouncing the names of small Texas towns.

Kellie and Allen made it in Plano Magazine and you’ll hear all about it, with just a couple minor corrections.

Who do you feel truly sees you for who you are?

Today, Jay sits down once again with the incredible Khloé Kardashian to talk about growth, healing, and what it really means to evolve on your own terms. It’s been six years since Khloé first sat down with Jay, and a lot has changed. Now in her 40s, Khloé reflects on the defining moments of her 30s, the clarity she’s found in this new chapter, and how her journey has shaped the woman she is today

In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Khloé opens up about what it really took to move through heartbreak, public judgment, and her own self-doubt. She shares how she learned to forgive herself, let go of shame, and step into a deeper sense of self-awareness. Khloé talks about navigating the pressures around motherhood, relationships, and success — and how therapy, journaling, and her unwavering faith helped her rediscover her worth and inner peace.

Jay and Khloé also dive into what it looks like to slow down, make room for solitude, and intentionally choose joy. She offers a glimpse into her daily routines, the spiritual practices that ground her, and how she’s creating a loving, mindful environment for her children, one rooted not in perfection, but in presence and authenticity.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Set Emotional Boundaries Without Losing Your Kindness

How to Forgive Yourself and Heal from Past Mistakes

How to Use Solitude as a Tool for Self-Discovery

How to Stop Comparing Your Journey to Others

How to Build Emotional Resilience After Betrayal

Through her candid storytelling and unwavering humility, Khloé offers hope, wisdom, and an empowering message of self-acceptance to anyone navigating their own inner transformation.

Jay Shetty

It’s the home stretch for Emma Kelly, as she celebrated her senior prom AND received a very prestigious award….which we weren’t really sure was for. But it’s still cool! 

Allen noticed something that potentially saved him from becoming a victim of fraud. He’ll share a tip that can hopefully save you from that nightmare.  

Allen has entered a tattoo contest that could win him a huge cash prize, but he may have relied a little too much on ChatGPT to help fill out the form. 

Kellie heard a huge ruckus of crows outside her house which led to a really awesome encounter with nature. 

And Operation Once in a Lifetime is a charity close to Kellie and Allen’s hearts. It grants wishes and provides support to members of the military and their families. Their upcoming Rock for the Troops fundraiser is coming up on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the Armor Brewing Company in Allen, Texas. They would love to see a lot of our podcast family come out to support. To get more information, check out Operation Once in a Lifetime’s Facebook page, and also find out how you can buy raffle tickets to win some fantastic prizes, including a RYVID QRF Motorcycle.

Introducing Deepak Chopra: How to Ask AI The RIGHT Questions To Grow, Heal, and Live a More Fulfilled Life from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions?

Do you ever feel lonely even when you're around people?

Today, Jay welcomes back the legendary Deepak Chopra after six years, to discuss the unexpected intersection of spirituality and artificial intelligence. Together they unpack the beautiful blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge innovation.

Jay reflects on his first meeting with Deepak and how their bond has evolved over the years. The conversation quickly flows into one of the most fascinating questions of our time: Can AI actually support our spiritual growth, rather than distract from it? Deepak shares his insights on the mysteries of the universe, the unseen forces that shape our reality, and why he believes consciousness, not matter, is the foundation of everything.

Jay and Deepak break down the fears surrounding AI, from misinformation to war, and why it’s so important for us to grow spiritually alongside our technology. They explore how storytelling, creativity, and love are deeply human qualities that no machine can replicate, and how we can use these gifts to shape a better, more compassionate world.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Ask AI Better Questions to Unlock Wisdom

How to Use Technology to Support Emotional and Physical Healing

How to Find Purpose Through the Art of Storytelling

How to Train AI to Reflect Inclusivity and Diversity

How to Embrace Consciousness as the Foundation of Reality

How to Create a Sacred Relationship with Technology

Deepak reminds us that the answers we’re looking for often begin with a better question. And with the right mindset, even the most advanced technology can become a tool for inner transformation and collective healing.

Jay Shetty
