    Apr 28 2025

    Can you remember the first time you felt truly in charge of your own decisions?

    What’s one thing you picked up from your family that you wish you could unlearn?

    In this heartfelt episode, Jay Shetty sits down with former First Lady Michelle Obama and her brother, coach and mentor Craig Robinson, for an intimate conversation centered around family, resilience, and the lasting impact of love and connection.

Even through financial struggles, their parents cultivated a home filled with trust and safety, making it clear that family would always be a source of strength. Memories of birthdays around the kitchen table, houses bustling with extended relatives, and the steady presence of grandparents and cousins all contributed to a lifelong sense of belonging and support that continues to influence their lives.

    As they journeyed into adulthood, both Michelle and Craig relied on therapy, genuine friendships, and a strong community to help them face life’s transitions, grief, and the many complexities of growing up. Michelle shares how seeking guidance and embracing self-reflection, especially during moments of change, has been central to her personal growth, demonstrating the value of openness, adaptability, and continuous learning throughout every stage of life.

  • You Are Not Responsible For Other People’s Feelings (How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt)
    Apr 25 2025

    When was the last time you actually put yourself first, no matter what anyone else thought?

    Have you ever felt a wave of guilt just for trying to set boundaries and protect your peace?

    Today, Jay dives into a powerful idea: letting go of the responsibilities that were never really yours to begin with. So many of us carry the weight of other people’s expectations, emotions, and opinions — and it leaves us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves. Jay unpacks how we often take on things like managing how others feel or trying to live up to impossible standards, and how doing that can block us from real freedom, creativity, and growth.

    Throughout the episode, Jay reinforces the message that boundaries are not selfish but necessary for healthy relationships and self-respect. He reminds us that our worth isn’t something we have to earn by meeting expectations or chasing approval. When we stop trying to control things that aren’t really ours to manage, life feels lighter, more real, and full of possibility.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to Stop Absorbing Other People’s Emotions

    How to Let Go of Unrealistic Expectations

    How to Support Others Without Fixing Their Problems

    How to Maintain Your Own Emotional Balance

    How to Prioritize Your Well-Being Over Pleasing Others

    Remember, life becomes lighter when you let go of what was never yours to carry. No matter what challenges you face, trust that you are enough just as you are, and you have the strength to live authentically.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty
