  • Anxiety Addicts: Working Together Without Killing Each Other

    Jo and Morgan have been besties since 8th grade—proof that opposites really do attract. Now, they’re running a business together, and while their differences make them a great team, they also bring a little (okay, sometimes a lot) of friction. We chat balancing work, friendship, and wildly different approaches to life without taxing the relationship.

    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

    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
