About this listen

Love isn’t always clean, calm, or clear. In Messy Love, Jay Shetty invites us behind closed doors into coaching sessions with three couples navigating the complicated terrain of modern relationships. You’ll witness raw moments of vulnerability as they work through resentment, broken trust, and generational patterns–with no script, no filters, and no certainty of the outcome.

Through these intimate sessions, Jay shares tools you can use to:

- Communicate with clarity and compassion
- Break painful cycles of blame and withdrawal
- Create emotional safety and rebuild trust
- Turn daily moments into rituals of appreciation

This isn’t about “perfect” love, it’s about practiced love. About learning that every argument, every silence, every small act of care can become a doorway to deeper connection.

Building on the principles shared through his bestselling books and viral talks, Messy Love represents a new evolution for Jay. His typical insightful commentary is on full display, but in these unscripted sessions, he steps out of his usual role as interviewer to face the unexpected alongside the couples, delivering wisdom and guidance in the moment as their journeys unfold.

Whether you’re single, dating, partnered, or healing, Jay’s new Audible Original promises to pull you in and give you tools that can spark powerful transformation.

Note: If you or someone you love is struggling with violence in a relationship, you can find resources at creative-interventions.org and thehotline.org.

Editorial Review

A former monk offers relationship advice
Bestselling author Jay Shetty lets us listen in to sessions with three couples navigating relationship challenges in this aptly titled Audible Original podcast. While there’s perhaps nothing straightforward about relationships, Shetty provides heartfelt advice and guidance to couples on strengthening communication, sharing gratitude, building emotional intelligence, and breaking generational curses. This unscripted, unpauseable podcast is just what we need to start the new year off with all the right intentions when it comes to delivering honesty and authenticity in our connections, while remaining open to new possibilities. Plus, if you’re looking for more inspiring listens to build your best you in 2026, check out our well-being collection. —Rachael X., Audible Editor
