  • Jay & Radhi Talk About Why People Feel the Need to Overshare
    Nov 15 2025

    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

  • How to Move On When You Still Miss Your Ex (4 Hard Truths That Will FINALLY Set You Free)
    Nov 14 2025

    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.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

  • Gabrielle Bernstein: The Simple 4-Step Method to Heal Anxiety, Stop Overthinking, and Stop People-Pleasing for Good
    Nov 12 2025

    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.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

I love Jay Shetty - he can extract positivity from every conversation he has, even people who I wouldn’t really be interested in. While the content and quality of guests is varied, on the whole, this podcast is the one to follow. You’ll open your mind to issues and topics you never even knew you needed to know about! I would say though the advertising during the podcast is a real turn-off. There seem to be way more than before. I understand it’s a business but keeping ads to under 30 seconds would be more bearable. Otherwise, great work Jay. Most forwarded of my library.

Engaging conversation but too many ads

Who has 2 hours for Madonna or Emma Watson to prattle on? I love these actors and musicians, but they are about as shallow as a puddle. You don’t need 2 hours to hear their point of view. I do still listen occasionally but I have never got through a whole interview.

Guest interviews are just too long
