This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

We’ve been told self-care is selfish, indulgent—even unnecessary. That being a “good woman” means putting everyone else first and clapping for ourselves last. But what if real self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a radical, world-shifting, life-saving act of rebellion?

In this episode, I’m joined by Shelly Tygielski, author of Sit Down to Rise Up and founder of Pandemic of Love, a mutual aid movement that’s provided over $100 million in direct aid. Named one of Mindful.org’s “12 Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement,” Shelly is here to help us rethink everything we thought we knew about self-care.

We talk about the toxic messages that keep women burned out and worn down, the myth of positive thinking, and how showing up for ourselves—fully and unapologetically—is the foundation of showing up for anyone else. Because self-care isn’t about escape. It’s about power. It’s about choosing yourself on purpose.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ Why self-care is an act of activism—not selfishness
✅ The real reason “positive vibes only” can be toxic
✅ How to opt out of burnout culture and still get sh*t done
✅ The difference between self-soothing and true self-care
✅ Creating community care alongside personal care
✅ What it really looks like to walk away from the tightrope (and the circus)

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a revolution. And it starts with you.

Whether you check your horoscope religiously or just know your sun sign and call it a day, this episode is for you. We’re diving into astrology not as fate or fluff—but as a tool for clarity, confidence, and career alignment.

Joining me is Tali Edut, one half of the iconic AstroTwins duo (yes, the astrologers behind Beyoncé’s chart). Tali and her sister Ophira are celebrity astrologers, authors of over 20 books, and creators of the I*AM System—a framework that blends astrology with leadership and self-awareness. Their newest book, The Astrology Advantage: Use Your Horoscope for Personal and Professional Success, shows how your birth chart can help you navigate relationships, leadership, business, and life... without needing to memorize your moon sign.

We unpack what it means to be an Innovator, Maven, or Authority (I’m an Authority, for the record), and how these archetypes can be your secret edge in work and in life. Think of this as astrology, upgraded—less “woo,” more who you are and how to own it.

In This Episode, We Cover:

Whether you’re deeply into astrology or just astro-curious, this episode offers practical insight and a few cosmic winks. Because knowing yourself better? That’s always in the stars.

Introducing Dr. Vonda Wright: Formula to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle (Why your Current Workout is Not Giving You Results) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

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.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

We live in a world that screams more, more, more—more money, more success, more hustle, more everything. But what if the key to fulfillment isn't more... it's enough?

In this episode, we're joined by Elizabeth Husserl, financial advisor, speaker, and co-founder of Peak360 Wealth Management, to unpack the mindset shift from scarcity to sufficiency. Elizabeth has helped leaders at companies like Airbnb, Google, and Unity redefine their relationship with wealth—and today, she’s helping us do the same.

This conversation is for those of us who technically have enough—but still don’t feel like it. If you’ve ever tied your worth to your bank balance, your achievements, or someone else’s definition of success, this one’s for you. Because true abundance isn’t found in the numbers—it’s found in freedom, contentment, and choice.

In This Episode, We Cover:

You are enough. You have enough. And believing that? It just might be the most powerful investment you ever make.

Introducing LIZZO EXCLUSIVE: “Releasing The Weight Has Affected People” The Real Transformation Story She’s Never Shared Before from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How would your life change if your healing reshaped not just your body, but your entire way of being?

What if the real change wasn’t about losing anything—but about gaining a deeper connection to yourself?

In this deeply vulnerable episode, global superstar Lizzo sits down with Jay for an unfiltered conversation about loss, boundaries, transformation, and what it really feels like living in the spotlight. Lizzo shares how her loyalty to friends and her habit of seeing the good in everyone sometimes came at the cost of her own peace.

She shares what happened when she finally stopped chasing relationships that no longer served her—and how distance gave her clarity on who was truly in her corner. Lizzo opens up about the pain of letting people go, the reality of feeling isolated, and the music that came out of her lowest moments.

Lizzo dives deep into how the recent public scandal impacted her—and why she’s now more intentional than ever with her words, her energy, and her healing. Lizzo opens up about the responsibility of being a public figure, how her weight release journey evolved into a powerful personal transformation, and why she's chosen to let go of toxic energy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to Let Go of One-Sided Relationships

Why Some People Disappear When You Set Boundaries

How to Honor Your Emotions Without Editing Them

How Your Energy Shapes What You Attract

How Love Without Drama Becomes a Flow State

What It Means to Grow Apart Without Guilt

Why Intentional Healing Starts With Self-Awareness

Lizzo’s transformation is a reminder that you can still believe in people—and protect yourself. You can evolve—and still be soft. And you can face the hardest season of your life—and still come back to love.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
