On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Today, Jay reflects on the lessons about love he wishes he had known in his twenties. He examines how movies, media, and cultural narratives have long shaped unrealistic expectations about romance, often equating love with grand gestures, nonstop excitement, and fairy tale endings. Jay challenges these ideas, by showing that true love is not constant fireworks, but a balance of peace, stability, and passion. He explains how the thrill is often mistaken for attraction, and how the calm that comes from trust and consistency is actually the real foundation of a healthy relationship, even if often mistaken for boredom.
 
 
 
Jay also explores the critical role of self-awareness and boundaries in fostering meaningful relationships. He discusses how love without boundaries can cause you to lose yourself, and how repeating familiar emotional patterns from the past can keep you stuck in cycles that feel comfortable but are ultimately harmful. Through relatable examples, Jay highlights the importance of defining emotional non-negotiables, paying attention to how a partner handles boredom and conflict, and understanding the influence of attachment styles. Jay emphasizes that successful relationships are not about finding someone perfect, but about choosing a partner who is willing to heal, grow, and face challenges together.
 
 
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Set Boundaries Without Pushing Love Away
 
How to Handle Conflict Without Ruining a Relationship
 
How to Recognize the Difference Between Lust and Love
 
How to Break Unhealthy Relationship Patterns
 
How to Choose Patience and Healing in Relationships
 
 
 
Finding real love isn’t an end goal, it’s an ongoing journey you take with intention, compassion, and patience. It’s something you build over time through quiet moments, healthy boundaries, and a commitment to grow, both on your own and together.
 
 
 
With Love and Gratitude,

Today, Jay chats with late-night legend Jimmy Kimmel for an unforgettable live conversation at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Jimmy opens the episode playfully roasting Jay, showing off his signature, sharp wit right out of the gate. The laughs quickly give way to a candid, wide-ranging conversation about Jimmy’s life, marked by gutsy decisions, constant reinvention, and moments of surprising vulnerability.
 
Jimmy reflects on the emotional cost of self-expression, his early struggles with being misunderstood, and how persistence (and a healthy dose of delusion) helped him find his place in the world. Jimmy shares how anxiety has shaped his life, from growing up without much money to now being someone people rely on for support, advice, and even financial help. From outrageous pranks and career missteps to a touching tribute to his prank-loving Aunt Chippy, Jimmy constantly balances humor with disarming honesty. Jimmy also opens up about the challenges of becoming more emotionally available, how therapy has helped him grow, and how being a father, and now a grandfather, has reshaped his priorities and softened his edges.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Stay True to Yourself
 
How to Use Humor as a Tool for Healing
 
How to Keep a Lifelong Passion Alive
 
How to Stay Grounded When Success Finds You

How Helping Others is the Key to Healing Yourself
 
It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being honest, showing up, and continuing to try. Whether through meaningful conversations, creative expression, or simply sharing space with others, healing and connection are always within reach.

Jay Shetty

Jimmy Kimmel: The Untold Story of Failure, Rejection & Fame (And the Rare, Unseen Side of Him as a Husband & Father!)

What’s the hardest part of parenting for you?
 
Do you think kids today are more anxious than before?
 
Today, Jay sits down with Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, best-selling author, and founder of Good Inside, a global parenting and mental health platform. Named the “Millennial Parent Whisperer” by Time, Dr. Becky is known for her compassionate, practical approach to raising emotionally healthy children while maintaining strong, sturdy leadership as a parent.
 
In this eye-opening conversation, Jay and Dr. Becky explore why modern parenting often swings between dismissing children’s emotions and letting them call the shots, sharing practical ways to find the balance in between. Dr. Becky shares why parenting is a skill you can actually learn, the surprising power of repairing after conflict, and how boundaries and validation work together to help kids feel safe, understood, and supported.
 
Dr. Becky shares how to shift your mindset from “my kid is giving me a hard time” to “my kid is having a hard time,” creating a more compassionate approach to conflict and connection. She explains why constantly optimizing for happiness for your kids can actually create anxiety later in life, why letting kids struggle is key to building resilience, and how to release the heavy burden of “mom guilt” by recognizing which emotions are yours to carry and which belong to your child.
 
In this interview, you’ll learn:
 
How to Repair After Rupture and Strengthen Connection
 
How to Set Boundaries Without Power Struggles
 
How to Validate Feelings Without Over-Coddling
 
How to Build Capable and Resilient Kids
 
Why Not All “Mom Guilt” is Actually Guilt
 
How to Balance Empathy with Leadership as a Parent
 
Parenting isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about showing up, repairing when things go wrong, and modeling the emotional skills you want your children to have. As Dr. Becky reminds us, the most powerful thing you can give your kids is the confidence to face life’s challenges knowing they are both safe and valid.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

Kim introduces her 70% rule: a concept that encourages action over hesitation and reveals how taking small, imperfect steps helped her overcome self-doubt and build extraordinary businesses. The two also dive into the power of mentorship, the emotional toll of toxic relationships, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is crucial not just for professional growth, but for personal evolution.

Kim Perell: Hate Your Job But Don’t Know What to Do Next? Ask Yourself THESE 7 Questions and Build a Step-by-Step Plan for the Career You ACTUALLY Want

Have you ever felt pressure to hide a part of who you are?
 
What helps you feel safe enough to open up?
 
Today, Jay chats with renowned celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton to share deeply personal parts of his life he’s never shared publicly. Known for creating iconic looks for stars like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Ariana Grande, Chris has built a career around image and transformation. Chris bravely opens up about the journey that shaped him, pulling back the curtain on the private struggles behind his public success. From growing up in a working-class town in England, and discovering his passion for hair was a way to survive, to feel seen, and to express who he really was. 
 
As the conversation unfolds, Chris opens up about the darkest night of his life. The moment he nearly ended his life, a breaking point born from decades of shame, fear, and the belief that being true to himself would hurt the people he loved most. What followed was not an overnight transformation, but a long, honest path toward healing. Chris speaks candidly about coming out as gay in his late twenties, the grief of ending a nine-year relationship with the mother of his children, and the fear of disappointing his kids. 
 
Jay and Chris explore the power of redefining identity, letting go of what no longer serves us, and embracing the possibility of change at any stage in life. With the support of therapy, self-reflection, and a willingness to confront his pain, Chris began a new chapter, one rooted in alignment between his inner and outer world.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Embrace Your True Identity Without Shame
 
How to Heal After Hiding Your Authentic Self
 
How to Rebuild Private Pain in Public 
 
How to Support Your Children Through Major Life Changes

How to Find Peace Through Forgiveness and Self-Acceptance

Have you ever thought about being your own boss?
 
What kind of business would you start if you could?
 
In this special compilation episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty curates powerful insights from five extraordinary entrepreneurs: Emma Grede, Michael Rubin, Codie Sanchez, Brian Chesky, and Suneera Madhani, offering a dynamic, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to build something meaningful from scratch. Each guest brings a unique lens to the entrepreneurial journey: Emma Grede reminds us that the most powerful companies are born by solving real problems for underserved communities; Codie Sanchez breaks down how grit, financial fluency, and deal-making are more crucial than a flashy idea; while Brian Chesky reveals that building a world-changing company like Airbnb starts with seeing your business as a reflection of your inner world.
 
Jay weaves these stories into a powerful masterclass on purpose-driven entrepreneurship, showing that success doesn’t come from confidence, funding, or perfection. It comes from grit, learning through failure, and showing up again and again. Michael Rubin drives home the power of obsession and adaptability, while Suneera Madhani brings it back to reality, reminding us that the biggest risk isn’t failing, it’s never starting. It’s a powerful reminder that stepping out of comfort and into aligned action is where true transformation begins. 
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Build a Purpose-Driven Brand from Scratch
 
How to Master Deal-Making and Speak the Language of Money
 
How to Stay Innovative When Success Hits
 
How to Start a Business Without Industry Expertise
 
How to Scale a Company Without Losing Your Values
 
How to Take Risks Without Letting Fear Lead the Way
 
The most meaningful work often comes from solving problems close to your heart, staying curious, and showing up even when it’s hard. You are not too late, underqualified, or behind. 
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty.

Jay’s Must-Listens: Want to Quit Your 9-5? 5 CEO’s Share the Exact Steps to Start Your Own Successful Business (No Business School Needed!)

Do you ever feel like who you are is holding you back?
 
Can you really change your personality — or are you stuck with it for life?
 
Today, Jay sits down with award-winning journalist and author Olga Khazan, whose groundbreaking book Me But Better explores the science of personality change. As a staff writer at The Atlantic, Olga has spent years investigating what shapes who we are — and whether it’s possible to become more confident, resilient, and fulfilled by intentionally shifting our traits.
 
Jay and Olga explore the surprising research showing that personality isn’t fixed — and that with consistent effort, anyone can become a different version of themselves. Olga shares how she transformed traits like anxiety and self-doubt by applying science-backed tools and testing them in her own life.
 
They dive deep into how habits shape identity, why a strong “why” is essential for lasting change, and how the traits we envy in others might point us toward who we’re meant to become. They also unpack the difference between being “authentic” and being stuck — and why growth often looks like discomfort before it feels natural.
 
In this episode, you’ll learn:
 
How to Change Personality Traits You’ve Had for Years
 
How to Shift from Anxiety to Emotional Balance
 
How to Use Habits to Redefine Who You Are
 
How to Identify the Traits That Align with Your Goals
 
How to Stop People-Pleasing Without Becoming Cold
 
How to Make Growth Feel Authentic — Not Fake
 
True change doesn’t come from pretending to be someone else — it comes from becoming the person you were always capable of being. This episode is a powerful reminder that you’re not stuck. With intention, action, and the right mindset, you can grow into someone new.
 
With love and gratitude,

Olga Khazan: Do You Feel Socially Awkward? This Episode Will Change Your Life & INSTANTLY Make You Confident in ANY Social Interaction

Today, Jay dives into a feeling many of us know well: the sense that nothing in life is going the way we hoped. Whether your career feels stuck, your relationships feel off, or you’re just not where you thought you’d be by now. Jay reminds us that feeling stuck doesn't mean you've failed, but could be life giving you a moment to pause and reset. Jay explains that the way we experience reality depends on what we choose to focus on. When we're fixated on what's going wrong, we often miss the small signs that things are already starting to move forward.
 
Jay also challenges the idea that success is supposed to be linear or perfect. He reminds us that the people who seem ahead aren’t more talented, they just started sooner. Rather tha comparing ourselves to someone else’s timeline, Jay encourages us to focus on our own path and let go of the pressure to have it all figured out. Instead of trying to achieve something massive all at once, Jay encourages us to “shrink the vision, save the dream,” and take small, consistent steps that compound into real transformation. He reminds us that a plateau isn’t a setback, it’s a season of quiet growth that often comes right before a breakthrough.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Break Mental Overload with Movement
 
How to Take Action Before You Feel Ready
 
How to Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time to Start
 
How to Reframe Feeling Stuck
 
How to Build Momentum with Tiny Steps
 
No matter where you are in your journey, remember this: you’re not behind, you’re not broken, and you haven’t missed your chance. Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re in the middle of growth. 
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty
