On Purpose with Jay Shetty

<p>What time of day do you scroll the most?</p> <p>Have you tried setting limits on your screen time?</p> <p>Today, Jay dives into one of the defining questions of our digital age: is the algorithm shaping who we become, or are we the ones quietly teaching it how to shape us? He reveals how every click, pause, and late-night scroll acts as a subtle signal, tiny instructions that train the system, which then turns around and begins to train us. Before we even realize it, our insecurities become fuel, our curiosity becomes comparison, and outrage becomes entertainment.</p> <p>But Jay also reminds us that we&rsquo;re not powerless, our agency hasn&rsquo;t disappeared; it&rsquo;s just buried beneath layers of habit. With calm, practical guidance, he shares how we can take our feed back into our own hands, break the doom-scroll cycle, and actually reprogram the digital environment influencing our minds. Whether it&rsquo;s choosing who you follow more intentionally, setting healthy boundaries in the morning, sharing more consciously, or reconnecting with real-world anchors, Jay shows that we&rsquo;re not just participants, we&rsquo;re contributors to how the system works. And when we change how we show up, everything around us begins to shift as well.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Retrain Your Algorithm in Minutes</p> <p>How to Recognize When the Algorithm Is Steering You</p> <p>How to Build a Healthier, Calmer Feed</p> <p>How to Use Social Media Without Losing Yourself</p> <p>How to Strengthen Your Digital Self-Control</p> <p>You weren&rsquo;t meant to be overwhelmed by noise or pulled into constant comparison. You were built to create a life rooted in values, peace, and purpose. So take a breath, make one mindful choice at a time, and let it guide the next.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

<p>What&rsquo;s one habit that&rsquo;s helped you succeed lately?</p> <p>What made you decide to stick with that habit?</p> <p>In this special live conversation, at The Theater at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Jay sits down with entrepreneur and industry leader Emma Grede for a conversation every builder, creator, and business-minded thinker needs to hear. Together, Jay and Emma unpack a challenge that holds so many talented people back, caring too much about what others think. Emma shares the early moments in her career when she stayed quiet in rooms where she deserved to speak, the times she underestimated her own value, and the double standards she had to navigate as a woman in business. This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence isn&rsquo;t something you wait to feel, it&rsquo;s something you build through action, decision-making, and showing up for the opportunities in front of you.</p> <p>As the conversation deepens, Emma shares the mindsets that shaped her path, from a kid obsessed with fashion magazines to a visionary leader with a global reach. She breaks down why excellence starts with showing up fully in whatever role you&rsquo;re in, how competence is the foundation of real confidence, and why chasing &ldquo;passion&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t always the most strategic move. Jay adds powerful reflections on focus, leaning into your strengths, and accepting that you don&rsquo;t need to be great at everything to succeed. This is an honest and refreshing look at what it really takes to trust yourself, take bigger swings, and grow into the person you&rsquo;re meant to be.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Stop Caring What Others Think</p> <p>How to Build Confidence Through Competence</p> <p>How to Use Fear as Fuel, Not a Setback</p> <p>How to Become Excellent at What You&rsquo;re Doing Now</p> <p>How to Set Your Own Standards, Not Society&rsquo;s</p> <p>How to Start Before You Have It All Figured Out</p> <p>You don&rsquo;t have to wait until you feel fully ready, fully confident, or fully &ldquo;enough.&rdquo; Start where you are, use what you have, and trust that focus, effort, and self-belief will do more for your future than fear ever will.&nbsp;</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

<p>Today, Jay sits down with Kris Jenner for a raw and candid conversation about her roots, family, and the incredible lessons she&rsquo;s learned. Kris was raised by her mother and grandmother, two driven and hardworking women who modeled independence, discipline, and purpose. She shares how those early lessons in responsibility and perseverance laid the foundation for the life she would later build, both as a businesswoman and as the matriarch of a global family brand.</p> <p>Throughout their conversation, Kris speaks about her devotion to family, her faith, and her unshakable sense of gratitude. She reflects on the importance of being present in a fast-paced world that often glorifies busyness and distraction. Jay and Kris explore what it means to slow down and truly feel present in each moment, to look beyond the screens, the schedules, and the noise, and to rediscover joy in the simple things.</p> <p>Kris opens up about motherhood and the unique bond she shares with each of her six children, how she worked intentionally to raise them with structure, compassion, and drive while fostering unity instead of competition. She talks about her daily prayers for guidance and peace, finding meaning even in moments of hardship, and choosing to lead with love, even when met with misunderstanding or pain.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Lead with Gratitude Every Day</p> <p>How to Raise Ambitious but Grounded Kids</p> <p>How to Slow Down and Be Fully Present</p> <p>How to Build a Family Rooted in Love, Not Competition</p> <p>How to Balance Success with Inner Peace</p> <p>How to Protect Your Peace in a Noisy World</p> <p>Life has a way of reminding us that true success isn&rsquo;t measured by status or possessions, it&rsquo;s found in the quiet moments of gratitude, in the love we give, and in the peace we choose to protect. Each challenge we face holds a lesson, each chapter an invitation to grow with grace and faith.&nbsp;</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

<p>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.</p> <p>In this episode, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Protect Your Energy When Sharing</p> <p>How to Be Vulnerable with Intention</p> <p>How to Keep Private Goals Sacred</p> <p>How to Find the Right People to Confide In</p> <p>How to Balance Openness with Privacy</p> <p>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.</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong>What We Discuss:</strong></p> <p>00:00 Intro</p> <p>01:01 Are You Sharing Too Much?</p> <p>04:07 The Real Reason Behind Your Vulnerability</p> <p>09:21 Create in Private Before You Share Publicly</p> <p>13:45 Oversharing Looks Different on Every Platform</p> <p>16:01 Be Intentional About What You Share and With Whom</p> <p>18:24 Does Holding Back Make You Feel Alone?</p> <p>23:52 Why We Make Big Judgments from Small Details</p> <p>26:51 When Sharing Becomes Healing, Not Draining</p> <p>32:06 Choosing Who Deserves to Hear Your Story</p> <p><strong>Episode Resources:</strong></p> <p>Radhi Devlukia | <a href="https://www.radhidevlukia.com/">Website</a></p> <p>Radhi Devlukia | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@radhidevlu">YouTube</a></p> <p>Radhi Devlukia | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia">Instagram</a></p> <p>Radhi Devlukia | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/">Facebook</a></p> <p>Radhi Devlukia | <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia">TikTok</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.joyfullbook.com/">Joyfull</a></p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-really-good-cry/id1708895338">A Really Good Cry</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

<p>Have you been feeling anxious lately?</p> <p>Do you notice when your mind starts to spiral?</p> <p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;t our enemies. They&rsquo;re parts that have been trying to protect us, even if they sometimes get in the way.</p> <p>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 &ldquo;check-in&rdquo; 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&rsquo;s noise.</p> <p>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?</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Befriend Every Part of Yourself</p> <p>How to Recognize Your Inner Protectors</p> <p>How to Heal Through Compassion, Not Control</p> <p>How to Calm Your Inner Critic</p> <p>How to Create Boundaries Without Guilt</p> <p>How to Self-Soothe When You Feel Triggered</p> <p>Healing doesn&rsquo;t mean fixing what&rsquo;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.&nbsp;</p> <p>With Love and Gratitude,</p> <p>Jay Shetty</p> <p><strong><em>Join over 750,000 people to receive my most transformative wisdom directly in your inbox every single week with my free newsletter.

<p>What&rsquo;s the hardest part about letting go?</p> <p>What helped you start healing after that?</p> <p>Today, Jay sits down with Grammy Award&ndash;winning artist Cardi B for a rare and intimate conversation that reveals the woman behind the spotlight. From an early age, Cardi carried big dreams and an unshakable belief that she was meant for more. She opens up about the quiet moments she spent planning her future, the determination that pushed her beyond the challenges of her upbringing, and the resilience that continues to drive her today. Cardi reflects on how those experiences not only fueled her success but also shaped her greatest mission, creating a better life for her children.</p> <p>Together, Jay and Cardi dive into the complex balance between success and struggle, from the weight of constant scrutiny to her most vulnerable battles with depression and the pain of being misunderstood. Cardi opens up about the loneliness she&rsquo;s faced, the toll of public criticism, and how she found the strength to rise again when life felt overwhelming. Cardi reflects on the challenges of balancing motherhood and career, the values she&rsquo;s determined to instill in her children, and why building independence has been the key to protecting everything she&rsquo;s worked so hard for.</p> <p>Cardi also shares how her unwavering faith and deep connection with God have been the foundation of her resilience. She reminds us that real strength isn&rsquo;t found in perfection, but in the decision to rise after every setback, to hold onto hope when the world doubts you, and to keep working relentlessly toward the life you envision.</p> <p>In this interview, you'll learn:</p> <p>How to Stay Strong Through Criticism</p> <p>How to Keep Your Mental Health in Check</p> <p>How to Balance Motherhood and Career</p> <p>How to Find Your True Calling</p> <p>How to Break Free From Your Environment</p> <p>How to Use Faith to Overcome Struggles</p> <p>How to Keep Working When Life Gets Hard</p> <p>Every setback is an invitation to grow, every criticism a chance to reaffirm your worth, and every season of struggle is a reminder that brighter days are possible.
