Everything in Mel Robbins' life was going right.
She still gripped onto the one thing making her unhappy.
She calls it the campaign of misery.
A constant drumbeat of negativity that ran in her head for 50 years.
She fixed her marriage and her finances.
She built the business everyone sees now.
But the voice never stopped.
In this clip, Mel Robbins and Jay Shetty ask why so many of us don't believe we deserve to be happy.
Why mediocrity feels safer than wanting something.
And why staying busy is just a socially acceptable way to outrun how you actually feel.
Learn about the morning on a Vermont deck that changed how Mel defines contentment.
And why settling for the pain you already know might cost you more than the risk ever would.

Sometimes the greatest act of growth isn't beginning again, it's having the courage to let go. Jay explores why we hold onto relationships, careers, identities, and expectations that no longer serve us, revealing the psychology behind change and offering practical ways to move forward without losing yourself. If a chapter of your life feels complete, this conversation is an invitation to honor what it gave you, release it with gratitude, and trust that what's ahead can hold even more meaning.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Start Over Confidently
How to Release Old Identities
How to Stop Living Backwards
How to Take Worthwhile Risks
How to Embrace Life's Next Chapter
How to Outgrow Without Regret
How to Trust Uncertain Beginnings
Growth rarely begins with certainty, it begins with honesty. Trust that every ending can make space for something more aligned, and that the parts of you worth keeping will always come with you.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Success isn't always about having the best idea, it's about moving before fear, perfectionism, or conventional thinking slow you down. In this conversation, Jay sits down with entrepreneur and investor Lucy Guo to explore why execution beats overthinking, how meaningful relationships create lasting opportunities, and why optimizing for learning often matters more than optimizing for certainty. Together, they unpack a refreshingly honest perspective on ambition, wealth, risk, and building a life that's driven by curiosity rather than validation.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Build Valuable Connections
How to Escape Decision Paralysis
How to Find Better Business Ideas
How to Take Smarter Risks
How to Make Success Sustainable
Success isn't reserved for the people with the perfect plan, the perfect timing, or all the right answers. It's built through small decisions to keep learning, take thoughtful risks, and move forward even when the path isn't completely clear.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

What if we've been thinking about mental illness all wrong? Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer argues that conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia may be rooted in metabolic dysfunction, not just genetics or trauma. Drawing on decades of clinical research, he explains which chemical additives may be harming our brains, why ketogenic diets are showing remarkable promise for severe mental illness, and why recovery is about far more than willpower. Chris also opens up to Jay about the deeply personal story of his mother that inspired him to pursue psychiatry, and why, despite the growing mental health crisis, he remains genuinely hopeful for the next generation.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Recognize the Connection Between Diet & Mental Health
How to Notice Warning Signs of Metabolic Dysfunction
How to Support Loved Ones Through a Mental Health Crisis
How to Become More Resilient with Self-Care
How to Turn Personal Pain Into Purpose
How to Use Fasting & Ketogenic Diets Safely
How to Talk to Kids About Nutrition & Brain Health
Healing rarely comes from one single fix. Instead it comes from understanding the whole person: body, brain, and everything we feed both. Sometimes the most radical form of self-love is simply asking what’s going into your body, and why?

Ten years after the loss of her husband, neurosurgeon and bestselling author Paul Kalanithi, Dr. Lucy Kalanithi reflects on how grief continues to evolve rather than disappear. In this deeply moving conversation with Jay, she shares what it means to find purpose alongside pain, why the goal isn't to fix suffering but to make meaning from it, and how staying present through life's hardest moments can transform the way we love, heal, and truly live.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Live Through Grief
How to Support Someone Grieving
How to Talk About Death
How to Stay Present Through Pain
How to Comfort Without Trying to Fix
How to Honor Loved Ones
How to Raise Resilient Children

With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

In one of her most honest conversations yet, Layla Taylor reflects on the quiet journey of becoming herself. She opens up about coming out as bisexual, navigating faith, identity, single motherhood, and the weight of growing up feeling like she had to fit into everyone else's expectations. Rather than focusing on the hardships alone, this episode explores what happens when you stop living in survival mode and finally choose authenticity, self-worth, and the freedom to define your own life.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Stop Living for Other People's Approval
How to Finally Embrace Your Authentic Self
How to Leave a Toxic Relationship Without Regret
How to Find Yourself After Divorce and Heartbreak
How to Be Comfortable Being Alone for the First Time
How to Turn Your Hardest Experiences Into Strength
The greatest freedom comes from embracing yourself with honesty, letting go of the expectations that no longer serve you, and trusting that growth often begins on the other side of fear. Your story doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful, it just has to be yours.

Some endings hurt because they leave us with unanswered questions. After a breakup, it’s natural to search for reasons, replay memories, and hope for one final conversation that will make everything make sense. In this episode, Jay explores why closure is often misunderstood and how the answers we seek from someone else rarely bring the peace we’re hoping for. True healing begins when we stop waiting for another person to explain our pain and start turning inward instead.
Jay shares a powerful perspective on heartbreak: closure is not something we receive, it’s something we create. Through acceptance, self-reflection, and intentional healing, we can transform loss into growth. Rather than centering our lives around what ended, we learn to rebuild around who we are becoming. The goal isn’t to erase the past, it’s to emerge from it with greater self-awareness, stronger boundaries, and a deeper trust in ourselves.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Heal Through No Contact
How to Rebuild Yourself After Heartbreak
How to Separate Facts From Feelings
How to Stop Romanticizing Your Ex
How to Turn Heartbreak Into Growth
How to Measure Healing the Right Way
Heartbreak has a way of convincing us that healing is somewhere in the future, waiting behind the perfect explanation, apology, or final conversation. But growth often begins the moment we stop chasing what we cannot control and start caring for what we can.

For decades, we’ve been told that success and spirituality live in separate worlds. One is about achievement, the other about inner peace. In this conversation, John Mackey shares why he believes the two are deeply connected. Reflecting on the journey of building Whole Foods Market, he explores how purpose, intuition, gratitude, and conscious leadership shaped both his business and his life. From navigating near-failure and selling the company to Amazon, to redefining success beyond money and status, this episode is a powerful invitation to lead with more awareness, build with more heart, and create a life that feels as meaningful on the inside as it looks on the outside.
In this episode you'll learn:
How to Build a Business With Purpose
How to Turn Setbacks Into Growth
How to Find Joy in Your Work
How to Turn Envy Into Learning
How to Create a Culture People Never Want to Leave
How to Make Difficult Decisions With Compassion
How to Stay Connected to What Matters Most
There will be setbacks, doubts, and moments when things don’t go according to plan, but those moments don’t define your journey. What matters is continuing to move forward with purpose, staying connected to what brings you joy, and remembering that success means little if it costs you who you are.
John’s book, The Whole Story: Adventures in Love, Life, and Capitalism, talks about why Whole Foods isn’t just a business success story, it’s the story of a retail, cultural, and dietary revolution that has forever changed the industry and the way we eat.

Jill shares what it takes to navigate life’s hardest moments - from the unimaginable grief of losing her son Beau to cancer, to her son Hunter's battle with addiction, to her husband's ongoing health struggles and heartbreaking political exit. Jill’s story highlights the radical power of staying present, and the impact of making a conscious decision to always choose joy no matter where you are in life.
