On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Jay is joined on stage at Boston’s Wang Theatre by his longtime friend Mel Robbins, in front of a packed live audience. Their shared history allows them to speak openly and honestly about the pressure to be liked, the fear of being misunderstood, and how easily we lose ourselves trying to meet other people’s expectations. Mel’s superpower is her ability to choose herself in moments when giving up or staying small feels safer.
 
Mel shares the hard truths she’s learned about self-criticism, people-pleasing, and why waiting to feel “ready” keeps us stuck. Jay reflects on how constantly judging and fixing ourselves pulls us away from our inner life, and why real growth starts with awareness and self-respect. Mel also talks about how many of her biggest changes came from desperation, not confidence, and Jay reframes jealousy, fear, and failure as signs that something meaningful is trying to emerge.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Stop Letting Other People’s Opinions Run Your Life
 
How to Quiet Your Inner Critic When Stress Takes Over
 
How to Unlearn the Self-Criticism You Were Taught Growing Up
 
How to Stop Waiting to Feel “Ready” to Start Living Your Life
 
How to Break the Habit of People-Pleasing Without Guilt
 
How to Use Jealousy as a Clue Instead of a Curse
 
How to Keep Going When Desperation, Not Confidence, Is Driving You
 
Life doesn’t change all at once. It changes when you choose to speak to yourself with kindness, honor your needs, and take the next step even when you’re afraid.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

MEL ROBBINS: How to Stop People-Pleasing Without Feeling Guilty (Follow THIS Simple Rule to Set Boundaries and Stop Putting Yourself Last!)

Matthew McConaughey didn’t build his life by trying to control every outcome. He built it by learning when to let go and when to trust.
 
Today, Jay sits down with Matthew for a raw, unfiltered exploration of purpose, faith, discipline, and what it really means to live well. It’s an honest conversation about the moments that shape us, and the choices that quietly define who we become. Together, they move through certainty and surrender, ambition and presence, effort and trust.
 
Matthew opens up about his lifelong relationship with achievement and his growing desire to create space for stillness, daydreaming, and reflection. He shares how writing became a way to strip away filters and speak more directly to his truth, and how fatherhood reshaped his understanding of responsibility, humility, and love. Jay and Matthew explore failure as a sign of growth, and how disappointment when met with self-awareness, can teach rather than define us. Together they reveal a powerful insight: growth doesn’t come from trying to perfect ourselves, but from learning how to stay present, curious, and grounded through every season of life. 
 
Matthew reflects on the balance between taking responsibility and letting go, between striving for excellence and accepting imperfection. He shares why he believes the world is conspiring to make us happy, not through ease, but through meaning, effort, and alignment.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Trust Life Without Losing Control
 
How to Redefine Success Beyond Achievement
 
How to Learn From Failure Without Shame
 
How to Build Trust Before You Need It
 
How to Stay Present Without Chasing Perfection
 
How to Strengthen Love Through Daily Intention
 
How to Find Meaning When Answers Aren’t Clear
 
Life isn’t asking you to be perfect, it’s asking you to be present. To stay curious. To keep learning. To choose courage over comfort and intention over autopilot. No matter where you are right now, progress is still possible, meaning is still available, and your next step matters.

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: The KEYS to a Meaningful Life (Love, Faith, Family & Turning Failure into Growth)

Today, Jay invites us to rethink everything we’ve been taught about breaking bad habits. Instead of blaming willpower, discipline, or personality traits, he reframes habits as systems shaped by our triggers, emotions, and environments. He explains why most habits aren’t character flaws but subconscious coping strategies designed to provide comfort, escape, or relief. With this approach, we end up battling ourselves instead of breaking the loop that’s actually sustaining the habit. The real shift begins when we stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking “What is this habit doing for me?”
 
Jay then breaks down the four-part habit loop: trigger, emotion, behavior, and reward and shows how interrupting just one part can collapse the entire pattern. He explains that our environment matters more than motivation and if you want to change a habit, you have to change the cues that trigger it. Rather than quitting habits cold turkey, he encourages replacing the reward with a healthier form of relief, reminding us that the brain will always seek comfort. Through simple, practical examples, he shows how small interruptions, conscious pauses, and thoughtful substitutions can dismantle habits that once felt impossible to break. 
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Break Bad Habits Without Relying on Willpower
 
How to Identify the Hidden Triggers Fueling Your Habits
 
How to Interrupt the Habit Loop
 
How to Stop Fighting Habits and Start Understanding Them
 
How to Build an Identity That Makes Good Habits Stick
 
How to Use Small Replacements to Create Big Change
 
Every habit you want to change once served a purpose, now you get to decide what serves you going forward. When you become aware of your triggers, redesign your environment, and choose support over struggle, growth becomes lighter and more sustainable. 
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

How to Break 90% of Your Bad Habits in 2026! (Use THIS 10-Second Trick and Beat the Pattern!)

Alex Honnold doesn’t climb to feel alive, he climbs because, in those moments, life finally feels simple.
 
Today, Jay sits down with world-renowned climber Alex Honnold to explore what truly lies behind fear, focus, and extraordinary achievement. Alex shares how his relationship with fear has been shaped not by a lack of it, but by years of consistent exposure, revealing that courage isn’t about being fearless, but about learning how to listen, respond, and stay present.
 
Jay and Alex dive into the discipline behind seemingly impossible feats: visualization, preparation, and intentional living. Alex opens up about how he mentally rehearses climbs in vivid detail, not by imagining success alone, but by walking through every sensation, risk, and possibility. This process, he explains, allows him to stay calm and grounded when it matters most. Jay draws parallels to meditation, public speaking, and everyday challenges, showing how the same principles of visualization, presence, and focus can help anyone face intimidating moments with clarity and confidence.
 
Beyond climbing, Alex shows his other self, a husband, father, and friend who values simplicity, purpose, and service. From building a foundation that brings solar energy to communities in need to choosing joy over ego-driven success, Alex embodies a life guided by intention rather than external validation.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Build Calm by Facing Fear
 
How to Train Your Mind Before You Act
 
How to Stay Focused When the Stakes Are High
 
How to Normalize Fear Instead of Fighting It
 
How to Use Visualization for Peak Performance
 
How to Know Your Limits Without Losing Ambition
 
How to Build Mastery Through Consistent Practice
 
You don’t need to chase danger or push yourself to the edge to grow. Growth happens when you prepare with intention, focus on what’s in front of you, and stop letting imagined outcomes hold you back.

ALEX HONNOLD: ONE Interview Before Free-Soloing Taiwan’s Tallest Building LIVE (This Episode Will Change Your Relationship with FEAR)

Today, Jay sits down with Tony Robbins, world-renowned life and business strategist, bestselling author, and one of the most influential voices in personal development, for a conversation that goes far beyond motivation and into the mechanics of real change. Together, they explore why so many people feel stuck in their lives, emotionally, professionally, and spiritually and how that feeling is often rooted not in lack of ability, but in delayed or avoided decisions.
 
Jay and Tony challenge modern ideas around comfort, self-care, and success. Tony shares why growth, not ease, is the true source of confidence and fulfillment, and why discipline and commitment build self-trust in ways comfort never can. Jay guides the discussion toward the balance between the science of achievement and the art of fulfillment, showing how success without meaning can feel empty, while meaning without action can leave people frustrated and stuck. Through practical frameworks, real-life stories, and honest reflection, the episode reframes discomfort as a necessary part of becoming who you’re meant to be.
 
Together they explore how purpose evolves over time, why contribution gives life its deepest meaning, and how fulfillment comes from growing and giving, not just achieving.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Stop Feeling Stuck by Making One Clear Decision
 
How to Build Confidence Through Difficult Choices
 
How to Create Clarity Without Waiting for Certainty
 
How to Grow Instead of Chasing Comfort
 
How to Strengthen Self-Trust Through Discipline
 
How to Design a Life That Keeps You Growing
 
If you’re feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck right now, let this be a reminder that nothing has gone wrong. You don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward. You only need the courage to take the next step, even if it feels uncomfortable.

Tony Robbins: The Fastest Way Out of Feeling Stuck! Use THIS 6-Part Decision Making Framework to Take the First Step and Start 2026 With Clarity

This episode is about starting the year with clarity, by letting go of what no longer fits and building systems that support who you’re becoming. Jay explores why most resolutions fade and explains that real change doesn’t come from wishing harder or relying on motivation, but from aligning your inner world with structures that support the life you want to live.
 
He shares how unfinished emotional chapters from the past year can quietly sabotage new beginnings, and why consciously closing one season is essential before stepping into the next. By releasing what no longer serves you, you create the mental and emotional space needed to move forward with focus and intention, rather than carrying old weight into a new year.
 
Instead of fixating on rigid goals, Jay encourages choosing a single word to guide your energy, one that reflects who you’re becoming, not just what you want to achieve. He reframes success as an inside-out process, emphasizing growth over outcomes and systems over wishlists. From designing habits that match your vision to shaping an environment that makes discipline easier, he shows how manifestation becomes practical when your daily actions, calendar, and beliefs are aligned.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Let Go of What’s Still Holding You Back
 
How to Focus on Growth Instead of Goals
 
How to Build Systems That Make Success Inevitable
 
How to Design Your Environment for Better Habits
 
How to Work With Fear Instead of Fighting It
 
How to Become the Person Your Dreams Require
 
As you step into this next chapter, remember that real change isn’t created in a single moment of motivation, it’s built through small, intentional choices made consistently. You just need to be willing to show up, learn, and keep moving forward even when it feels uncomfortable.

Make 2026 Your Best Year Yet! Step-by-Step Blueprint to Turn Your 2026 Goals Into Visible Results

Today, we reflect on the moments that shaped us, challenged us, and quietly transformed us over the past year. Not just the highlights, but the heartbreaks, the pauses, the uncomfortable in-between seasons that forced us to grow in ways we didn’t fully understand at the time. In this special end-of-year compilation, you’ll hear powerful, deeply human insights from voices like Selena Gomez, Cardi B, Madonna, Novak Djokovic, Mel Robbins, Codie Sanchez, and more. Each conversation reveals how love, loss, pressure, purpose, spirituality, money, and self-belief intersect in real life, and why growth so often comes from moments we never would have chosen.
 
You’ll hear Selena and Benny reflect on how love grows through safety, patience, and showing up imperfectly. Cardi B opens up about depression, heartbreak, and how time, accountability, and resilience helped her reclaim her power. Madonna shares why cultivating an internal, spiritual life is essential in a noisy, distracted world, while Novak Djokovic explores the tension between ambition, self-worth, and purpose even at the peak of success. Mel Robbins challenges us to reclaim our energy by letting go of other people’s opinions, and Codie Sanchez reframes money, risk, and opportunity as skills that can be learned rather than fears to avoid. Together, these conversations remind us that growth isn’t linear, healing takes time, and the most meaningful progress begins when we listen inward, protect our energy, and move forward with intention.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Turn Hard Seasons Into Personal Growth
 
How to Build Love Through Vulnerability and Safety
 
How to Heal After Heartbreak Without Rushing the Process
 
How to Embrace Failure as a Starting Point, Not an Ending
 
How to Let Go of Other People’s Opinions and Reclaim Your Energy
 
How to Build Resilience Through Accountability and Time
 
How to Move Forward With Purpose, Not Pressure
 
Give yourself permission to heal at your own pace, to learn without shame, and to start again as many times as you need. Protect your energy, listen to what truly matters to you, and trust that small, intentional steps create meaningful change over time. 
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty.

Jay’s Must-Listens: 4 Powerful Lessons to Reflect From This Year & Move Into the Next With Clarity & Inspiration ft. Dr. Orna & Novak Djokovic

Jay sits down with Rob Dial for a powerful conversation about discipline, purpose, and why so many people stay stuck even when they know exactly what they should do. Rob reframes discipline not as punishment or pressure, but as an act of self-respect, explaining why choosing discomfort today is often the deepest form of self-love. From building consistency to reshaping identity, he reveals why real change has nothing to do with motivation or willpower, and everything to do with designing a life where doing the right thing becomes automatic.
 
Drawing from his own journey, Rob shares hard-earned lessons on following curiosity, embracing failure, and staying consistent long before results appear. He challenges the idea that purpose is something you “find” all at once, offering instead a more grounded path—one built through action, experimentation, and committing fully to the season you’re in. Together, Jay and Rob explore how fear, past pain, and self-judgment quietly hold people back, and how small, imperfect steps can begin healing old wounds while building confidence, competence, and momentum in the present.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Build Discipline When Motivation Disappears 
 
How to Stay Consistent Even When You Fall Off Track
 
How to Focus on One Habit for 100 Days
 
How to Design Your Environment for Better Habits
 
How to Turn Discipline Into Self-Love
 
How to Not Quit Even When You Don’t See Results 
 
How to Make 2026 Your Best Year by Doing Less, Not More
 
Focus on what you can control today. Do one thing well. Create habits that support the person you want to become, and be patient with yourself as you grow into them.

Rob Dial: Want to Actually Achieve Your Goals in 2026? Use THIS Action-Based Goal System to Get Back on Track (Even If You Fall Off!)

Today, Jay sits down with longtime friend and Grammy-nominated devotional artist Jahnavi Harrison for a deeply personal conversation about faith, creativity, and living a life of service. Together, they reflect on spiritual grounding as a daily practice, not rooted in perfection but in the ability to remain steady through uncertainty and change.
 
Jay and Jahnavi explore the often unseen journey behind purpose-driven work, how passion gradually becomes discipline, and discipline shapes a life of devotion. They unpack the courage it takes to walk a less conventional path, especially in a world that often values conformity and external validation. Through stories of growing up between two worlds, wrestling with self-expression, and finding healing through music and mantra, they invite us to reconsider success not as achievement, but as alignment.
 
As the conversation unfolds, their focus turns to prayer, service, and staying connected when you feel lost. Jay and Jahnavi share why speaking to God, serving others, and creating space for vulnerability can become powerful anchors during difficult seasons. Ultimately, this conversation reminds us that spirituality isn’t about having everything figured out, it’s about showing up with sincerity, listening deeply, and choosing to give, even when the path ahead is unclear.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Find Peace Through Sacred Sound
 
How to Stay Grounded When Life Feels Overwhelming
 
How to Turn Doubt Into a Deeper Faith
 
How to Express Yourself When You Feel Invisible
 
How to Trust Your Intuition Over External Pressure
 
How to Integrate Spirituality Into Everyday Life
 
How to Reconnect With Purpose Through Service
 
How to Talk to God in Your Own Way
 
You are allowed to take your time, to find your voice in your own way, and to choose a path that feels meaningful rather than impressive. Healing and purpose don’t come from perfection, but from showing up sincerely and trusting that what you offer with love will return in its own time.

Jahnavi: How to Create Inner Calm When Life Feels Overwhelming (THIS Simple Daily Practice When Your Mind Won't Stop!)

Grief has a way of showing up when we least expect it, especially during seasons that are meant to feel joyful. Today, Jay brings together powerful conversations with different guests who have each experienced grief in deeply personal ways. Together, these stories reveal how grief manifests uniquely for each person, often unfolding in many forms at once.
 
Kate Cassidy opens up about losing her partner and shares how healing didn’t come from grand moments, but from small, intimate rituals. Nicole Avant reflects on the tragic loss of her mother and reveals how forgiveness, faith, and gratitude became tools for resilience rather than bitterness. Karan Johar speaks about losing his father to cancer and how their honest conversations before his passing gave him a sense of closure many people never get, reminding us not to wait to say what matters most. Taylor Hill honors the different forms of grief that are often minimized, including miscarriage and the loss of a beloved pet.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Sit With Grief Without Rushing Healing
 
How to Find Comfort in Small Daily Rituals
 
How to Focus on a Life Lived, Not Just a Loss
 
How to Say What Matters Before It’s Too Late
 
How to Hold Space for Someone Without Fixing Them
 
How to Honor Invisible or Unspoken Losses
 
How to Let Love, Not Loss, Lead Your Healing
 
If you’re carrying loss right now, know that you are not alone, even when it feels isolating. Healing often happens quietly, in small routines, honest conversations, moments of stillness, and the permission to feel exactly what you feel.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty.

Jay’s Must-Listens: 7 Tools For Navigating Grief That Will Bring You Comfort When Nothing Else Can Ft. Kate Cassidy & Taylor Hill

Today, I'm joined by Haesue Jo, Licensed Therapist & Head of Clinical Operations at BetterHelp, with years of experience providing individual and family therapy in community mental health. Her current clinical focus includes working with individuals with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, community violence, gender identity, and depression.

In this session, we sit down with Ulato Sam as he talks about the challenges he had growing up, the hardships that comes when migrating into a new country as a person of color, overcoming the pressure of preconceived beliefs other people have, and learning the necessary skills and tools to be able to fend for yourself and still have the heart to help others. 

Disclaimer: Haesue Jo is not Ulato's actual therapist, and they are not in a therapist-client relationship.
