In this fun and unfiltered episode, Jay and Radhi dive into the world of “icks,” those oddly specific little turn-offs that make us cringe for reasons we can’t quite explain. From baby voices and socks with sandals to the blurry line between confidence and cockiness, they laugh their way through the most random dating deal-breakers and what they secretly reveal about us. Amid the jokes, they slip in a few truth bombs too, like how we sometimes use icks to avoid real vulnerability. It’s light, hilarious, and uncomfortably relatable, because honestly, we’ve all had an ick… and we’ve definitely been someone else’s.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Tell the Difference Between an Ick and a Red Flag

How to Communicate Honestly About What Bothers You

How to Recognize When You’re Using an Ick as an Excuse

How to Appreciate Imperfections in the People You Love

It’s easy to get caught up in small things that bother us, but true connection isn’t built on perfection, it’s built on patience, humor, and understanding. Everyone has quirks, and sometimes those quirks are what make relationships real.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

What’s one thing you wish you learned earlier in life?

What do you think would’ve changed for you if you learned it sooner?

Today, Jay reflects on the lessons he wishes he’d learned in his twenties and thirties, wisdom shaped by mistakes, growth, and years of inner work. He opens up about how easy it is to get swept up in chasing outcomes or living for other people’s expectations, and how those patterns can quietly pull us away from our true path. Jay also explains why success and happiness are completely different skill sets, and how understanding that early on can save you years of unnecessary frustration.

Jay also talks honestly about what healing really feels like, the side no one prepares you for. He explains that growth doesn’t always look inspiring; sometimes it shows up as exhaustion, confusion, or feeling like everything is falling apart. But that discomfort is often just old patterns breaking down so new ones can take shape. Through empathy, personal stories, and practical insights, Jay walks us through the “decade of firsts,” from first jobs to first heartbreaks, and reminds us that feeling lost isn’t failure. It’s a natural part of becoming someone stronger, clearer, and more aligned with who you’re meant to be.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Hear Your Inner Voice Again

How to Define Success on Your Own Terms

How to Build Confidence Through Self-Trust

How to Turn Rejection Into Insight

How to Break Free From Others’ Expectations

How to Heal Even When It Feels Messy

You’re not behind, you’re growing at the pace your life is asking you to grow. Keep showing up with curiosity, patience, and compassion for yourself. You’re building something meaningful, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

What’s one habit that’s helped you succeed lately?

What made you decide to stick with that habit?

In this special live conversation, at The Theater at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Jay sits down with entrepreneur and industry leader Emma Grede for a conversation every builder, creator, and business-minded thinker needs to hear. Together, Jay and Emma unpack a challenge that holds so many talented people back, caring too much about what others think. Emma shares the early moments in her career when she stayed quiet in rooms where she deserved to speak, the times she underestimated her own value, and the double standards she had to navigate as a woman in business. This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t something you wait to feel, it’s something you build through action, decision-making, and showing up for the opportunities in front of you.

As the conversation deepens, Emma shares the mindsets that shaped her path, from a kid obsessed with fashion magazines to a visionary leader with a global reach. She breaks down why excellence starts with showing up fully in whatever role you’re in, how competence is the foundation of real confidence, and why chasing “passion” isn’t always the most strategic move. Jay adds powerful reflections on focus, leaning into your strengths, and accepting that you don’t need to be great at everything to succeed. This is an honest and refreshing look at what it really takes to trust yourself, take bigger swings, and grow into the person you’re meant to be.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Stop Caring What Others Think

How to Build Confidence Through Competence

How to Use Fear as Fuel, Not a Setback

How to Become Excellent at What You’re Doing Now

How to Set Your Own Standards, Not Society’s

How to Start Before You Have It All Figured Out

You don’t have to wait until you feel fully ready, fully confident, or fully “enough.” Start where you are, use what you have, and trust that focus, effort, and self-belief will do more for your future than fear ever will. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Today, Jay sits down with Kris Jenner for a raw and candid conversation about her roots, family, and the incredible lessons she’s learned. Kris was raised by her mother and grandmother, two driven and hardworking women who modeled independence, discipline, and purpose. She shares how those early lessons in responsibility and perseverance laid the foundation for the life she would later build, both as a businesswoman and as the matriarch of a global family brand.

Throughout their conversation, Kris speaks about her devotion to family, her faith, and her unshakable sense of gratitude. She reflects on the importance of being present in a fast-paced world that often glorifies busyness and distraction. Jay and Kris explore what it means to slow down and truly feel present in each moment, to look beyond the screens, the schedules, and the noise, and to rediscover joy in the simple things.

Kris opens up about motherhood and the unique bond she shares with each of her six children, how she worked intentionally to raise them with structure, compassion, and drive while fostering unity instead of competition. She talks about her daily prayers for guidance and peace, finding meaning even in moments of hardship, and choosing to lead with love, even when met with misunderstanding or pain.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Lead with Gratitude Every Day

How to Raise Ambitious but Grounded Kids

How to Slow Down and Be Fully Present

How to Build a Family Rooted in Love, Not Competition

How to Balance Success with Inner Peace

How to Protect Your Peace in a Noisy World

Life has a way of reminding us that true success isn’t measured by status or possessions, it’s found in the quiet moments of gratitude, in the love we give, and in the peace we choose to protect. Each challenge we face holds a lesson, each chapter an invitation to grow with grace and faith. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Today, Jay and Radhi explore the delicate balance between sharing and oversharing, both online and in everyday life. They talk about what it really means to be authentic, how to protect your energy when opening up, and why not every moment needs to be shared to be meaningful. Together, they reflect on the intention behind vulnerability and the peace that comes from keeping certain parts of life sacred. How much do we share to feel seen? And when does sharing start to take more than it gives? This conversation invites us to slow down, listen to ourselves, and choose connection over performance.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Protect Your Energy When Sharing

How to Be Vulnerable with Intention

How to Keep Private Goals Sacred

How to Find the Right People to Confide In

How to Balance Openness with Privacy

True connection begins when we honor what feels right to keep close and what feels right to release. Whether through words, art, or quiet reflection, choose to share from a place of peace, not pressure.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

What truth about the relationship have you been ignoring?

What makes that truth hard for you to accept?

Today, Jay opens up about one of the hardest things we go through, trying to get over someone we once loved. He reminds us that healing isn’t about pretending we’re okay or trying to move on too quickly. It’s about realizing that what we often miss isn’t the person themselves, but how we felt when we were with them: seen, loved, and alive. Jay gently walks us through why breakups hurt so deeply, how our minds are built for connection, and why finding closure really starts with reconnecting to ourselves.

Jay also shares how to stop replaying the past and start finding your rhythm again. He reminds us that healing isn’t about erasing the love, it’s about learning from it. You don’t need to have it all figured out today, you just need to take one small step back toward yourself. Because the real journey after a breakup isn’t about getting over someone else, it’s about remembering who you were before them, and discovering who you’re becoming next.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Stop Romanticizing the Past

How to Let Go When You Still Miss Them

How to Rebuild Your Life After a Breakup

How to Move On Without Losing Yourself

How to Remember You Were Enough All Along

You are not broken for still feeling; you are human for still caring. One day, the memories that hurt will simply remind you of how far you’ve come. Keep showing up for yourself, because the love you’re searching for begins with you.

Jay Shetty

Have you been feeling anxious lately?

Do you notice when your mind starts to spiral?

Jay welcomes back his good friend and New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein for a deep and inspiring conversation about true inner healing. Together, they unpack Gabby’s latest book, Self-Help, which reimagines Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) as a practice anyone can bring into their daily life. Gabby shares how the parts of us we often judge, the anxious part, the perfectionist, the people-pleaser, the one who needs control, aren’t our enemies. They’re parts that have been trying to protect us, even if they sometimes get in the way.

As the conversation unfolds, Jay and Gabby unpack why so many of us get caught in cycles of burnout, self-criticism, and emotional disconnection. Gabby shares her simple four-step “check-in” practice, a way to pause, look inward, and start building a kinder relationship with ourselves. Through this process, she explains, we can start to recognize our patterns, meet them with compassion and find peace even in the midst of life’s noise.

Together, they unpack powerful questions we can all relate to: Why is it easier to comfort others than ourselves? Could our inner critic actually be trying to protect us? And how can we set boundaries without losing our empathy or warmth?

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Befriend Every Part of Yourself

How to Recognize Your Inner Protectors

How to Heal Through Compassion, Not Control

How to Calm Your Inner Critic

How to Create Boundaries Without Guilt

How to Self-Soothe When You Feel Triggered

Healing doesn’t mean fixing what’s broken, it means learning to see every part of yourself with compassion and curiosity. The parts of you that once felt heavy or hard to love are often the same ones that carried you through the toughest moments.

Jay Shetty

Do you believe the universe sends us signs?

Have you ever noticed a pattern that felt meaningful?

Today, Jay welcomes back psychic medium and bestselling author Laura Lynne Jackson for another heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about what it really means to live a guided life. Laura introduces the idea of a “team of light,” a loving energy made up of God, spirit guides, and loved ones who’ve passed on, all working together behind the scenes to help us find clarity and purpose. Laura reminds us that those small signs and coincidences we tend to overlook are actually gentle messages of love, nudging us toward peace, meaning, and connection.

Together, Jay and Laura explore how to tell the difference between the loud voice of fear and the quiet, steady voice of intuition. They talk about how fear can sometimes sound logical, how doubt sneaks in when we’re trying to trust ourselves, and why tuning in to that deeper inner knowing can transform the way we move through life. Jay opens up about moments when he’s felt guided and protected, sharing powerful examples of how trusting what we can’t always see can lead to the most meaningful outcomes.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Tell the Difference Between Fear and Intuition

How to Trust the Guidance You Receive

How to Quiet the Monkey Mind

How to Strengthen Your Spiritual Connection Every Day

How to Turn Coincidences into Clarity

How to Use Intuition to Make Better Decisions

Life often speaks in whispers before we’re ready to listen. The signs, the coincidences, those gentle nudges, they’re all reminders that we’re never really walking alone. When we slow down, take a breath, and learn to trust that quiet pull within, the path ahead starts to reveal itself with more ease, clarity, and purpose.

Jay Shetty

Today, Jay and Radhi explore why it feels like so many men are losing touch with real friendships, and the quiet epidemic of loneliness that often goes unnoticed. Jay shares surprising research showing that more men than ever report having few or no close friends and opens up about his own journey of maintaining meaningful male friendships across continents. Together, he and Radhi explore how cultural conditioning and social expectations have shaped the way men connect, often through shared activities rather than emotional honesty, and why vulnerability can still feel risky for so many.

Through humor and genuine reflection, Jay and Radhi invite us to rethink what friendship really means, how we can create spaces of emotional safety, and build communities that feel like home. Jay reminds us that friendship isn’t innate; it’s something we grow into through practice, vulnerability, and care.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Build Real Male Friendships

How to Be Vulnerable Without Fear

How to Recognize When You’re Lonely

How to Find Friends Who Match Your Energy

How to Open Up Emotionally in Conversations

Friendships don’t just happen; they grow through intention and care. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, take one step today, send that message, plan that coffee, open up a little more than usual. The courage to reach out might be exactly what someone else has been waiting for too.

With Love and Gratitude,

What’s one small step you can take right now to break the cycle you’re stuck in?

 

Today, Jay shares a simple, science-backed method to help you overcome laziness, distraction, and burnout by focusing on consistency instead of motivation. Rather than waiting for the perfect moment or a burst of inspiration, Jay explains how lowering the bar, creating rituals, and going on a dopamine detox can help you rebuild discipline and self-trust, one small action at a time.

 

It’s not about working harder or chasing perfection, but about starting smaller and showing up consistently. Jay explains how to protect your focus, rewire your reward system, and break the patterns that keep you stuck. Over time, these tiny shifts compound into real transformation, helping you feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

How to Start When You Feel Stuck

How to Build Rituals That Replace Willpower

How to Break Free from the Dopamine Addiction Cycle
