On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How do you know when you’re ready to commit?
 
Do you think love alone is enough?
 
Marriage isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice. It’s the ongoing choice to show up, grow, and recommit to each other through every season of change. In this special compilation, Jay brings together powerful insights from Jada Pinkett Smith, relationship coach Sadia Khan, psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb, and his own reflections with Radhi. Together, they explore how lasting love isn’t built on fleeting chemistry, but on emotional resilience, self-awareness, and the courage to evolve, side by side.
 
Jada shares how marriage can be a spiritual journey, where your partner reflects both your light and your flaws, guiding you toward unconditional love and deeper healing. Sadia reveals the often-overlooked truths about infidelity, self-control, and discipline, reminding us that love cannot thrive without trust. Lori highlights the power of honest communication, from setting boundaries with in-laws to having the tough conversations about money, marriage, and children before it’s too late.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Build Emotional Resilience in Marriage
 
How to Heal and Grow Through Partnership
 
How to Spot Signs of Emotional Distance
 
How to Create Space for Emotional Openness
 
How to Recommit as Your Partner Evolves
 
Every relationship faces challenges, but those moments can become powerful opportunities for growth when met with compassion and openness. The true beauty of love lies in the willingness to listen, to learn, and to keep building something real, together.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty.

Jay’s Must-Listens: Marriage Isn’t About Finding “The One” (5 Truths Every Couple Needs to Hear Before Marriage!)

Have you ever stayed in a relationship just to avoid being alone?
 
Did staying make you feel better or worse over time?
 
Today, Jay sits down with writer and relationship coach Quinlan Walther to explore what it truly means to build healthy, lasting relationships. Quinlan, known for her viral reflections on love and self-trust, explains the difference between wanting a relationship and being ready for one. She compares it to grocery shopping when you’re hungry, a reminder that desperation often drives us to make poor emotional choices. Together, they explore how self-awareness, emotional safety, and self-trust form the foundation for a genuine connection. Quinlan introduces her “Four C’s of Self-Trust”: curiosity, capacity, compassion, and commitment, a framework for strengthening one’s relationship with the self before seeking partnership.
 
Jay and Quinlan confront the hard truths about modern love, how expectations, attachment wounds, and emotional burnout often distort our perception of what love should feel like. They explore the difference between chemistry and compatibility, reminding listeners that while excitement can spark a connection, it’s shared values and emotional maturity that sustain it. Quinlan emphasizes that relationships are not meant to fill our emptiness but to reflect our growth. Through stories and practical wisdom, she explains how the healthiest relationships allow space for vulnerability, accountability, and change, rather than perfection. Jay reflects on his own marriage, highlighting how communication, patience, and self-reflection create emotional safety and deepen love over time.
 
In his interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Know If You’re Ready for Love
 
How to Build Self-Trust Before Dating
 
How to Create Emotional Safety in Relationships
 
How to Tell Chemistry from Compatibility
 
How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt
 
How to Heal After a Breakup
 
How to Stop Repeating Unhealthy Patterns
 
How to Grow Together Without Losing Yourself
 
Real connection isn’t about finding someone to fix or complete us, it’s about growing into the version of ourselves that can give and receive love freely. Every heartbreak, disappointment, and moment of self-reflection brings us closer to understanding that love begins within.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

Quinlan Walther: Stop Chasing Love Just Because You’re Lonely! (Do THIS to Attract the RIGHT Relationship)

Do you believe in manifestation?
 
What are you currently manifesting?
 
Manifestation isn’t about magic, shortcuts, or wishing something into existence, it’s about clarity, belief, and intentional action. In today’s episode, Jay unpacks the biggest myths around manifestation and explains why vision boards, affirmations, and journaling alone often leave us feeling stuck or unfulfilled. Instead, he shows us how to set clear goals, pair affirmations with real action, and create systems that actually move us forward.
 
Through practical steps and powerful research, Jay reshapes our understanding of manifestation, not as wishful thinking, but as the alignment of our thoughts, words, and actions. He reveals why positivity without effort quickly falls flat, how struggle signals growth rather than failure, and why surrender can be an act of wisdom instead of passivity. Jay shows us how to actively create the life we imagine. Whether your pursuit is abundance, purpose, or simply the courage to take the next step, he reminds us that manifestation isn’t about waiting for the universe to deliver, it’s about showing up ready, prepared, and fully present for the opportunities ahead.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Set Clear Goals for Manifestation
 
How to Pair Affirmations with Daily Action
 
How to Break Big Dreams into Small Steps
 
How to Turn Desire Into Direction
 
How to Value Growth Over Outcome
 
Growth is rarely smooth or instant, but it’s always possible when you stay committed to the process. Keep showing up with clarity, with consistency, and courage, because the life you dream of is created one intentional choice at a time.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

Today, Jay sits down with legendary filmmaker and comedian Judd Apatow for a vulnerable and inspiring conversation on life, creativity, and resilience. Known for shaping modern comedy with films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, Judd opens up about the struggles behind the success, sharing how self-doubt, early failures, and rejection shaped him into the storyteller he is today. He reflects on the power of mentorship, the lessons he learned from icons like Gary Shandling, and why finding your voice often requires patience, humility, and a willingness to fail forward.
 
Together, Jay and Judd explore how comedy can be both healing and revealing, born not just out of joy but often out of pain. Judd talks about the risks he took, the creative experiments that didn’t work, and how those “failures” became stepping stones toward lasting impact. He reveals how therapy, mindfulness, and even family dynamics have influenced his work, and why the most meaningful measure of success is not box office numbers, but whether your work truly connects with people.

How to Find Your Creative Voice
 
How to Balance Ambition with Presence
 
How to Use Mentorship to Grow

Judd Apatow: Fear of Rejection Holding You Back? THIS Trick Will Silence the Inner Critic & Help You Feel Confident to Create

Today, Jay sits down with Malala Yousafzai to uncover the woman behind the global symbol of courage and education. From the very start, Jay sets the tone with an intention rooted in empathy, to help people not just know Malala, but understand her. Together, they revisit her extraordinary journey, from growing up in Pakistan’s Swat Valley under Taliban rule to surviving an assassination attempt at fifteen. Malala shares what it was like to wake up in a hospital far from home, and how she slowly began to realize that the world had already decided who she was before she could decide for herself.
 
As the conversation unfolds, Malala opens up about the emotional aftermath of her survival, the years spent trying to live up to the image of bravery the world created for her while quietly struggling with fear, trauma, and loneliness. She reflects on how therapy helped her begin to process the pain she had long suppressed, and how rediscovering humor, friendship, and love became essential parts of her healing. Malala also talks about her marriage, her insecurities after the attack, and the importance of learning to love herself before fully believing that someone else could. Her honesty reveals a side rarely seen, that even those who inspire millions still wrestle with doubt and self-acceptance.
 
Malala and Jay explore what courage truly means, not as a public act of heroism, but as a quiet, daily choice to keep going. She reflects on her mission to ensure education for every girl, the ongoing fight for women’s rights in Afghanistan, and how real change begins with local voices and global solidarity. Through her words, Malala reminds us that strength and softness can coexist, that healing is never linear, and that every person has the power to turn pain into purpose.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Stay Brave When You’re Afraid
 
How to Heal From Trauma With Time and Therapy
 
How to Find Yourself Beyond What the World Expects
 
How to Rebuild Confidence After Losing It
 
How to Create Change Through Education
 
How to Love Yourself After Feeling Unworthy
 
How to Redefine Courage in Everyday Life
 
How to Keep Hope Alive in Dark Times
 
How to Be the Voice for Those Who Can’t Speak
 
No matter what you’ve been through, your story isn’t over, it’s still being written every single day. Healing doesn’t happen all at once, and courage isn’t about never breaking down; it’s about finding the strength to rise again, even when you feel unsure.

MALALA: The Story The World Hasn’t Heard Until Now

Do you ever feel behind in life?
 
What are you comparing yourself to?
 
Today, Jay shares a powerful reminder for anyone who feels like they’re behind in life. Maybe you’re comparing your career path to a friend’s promotion, your relationship status to someone’s engagement photos, or your lifestyle to highlight reels on social media. Jay explains how natural it is to feel this way, especially after school, when the timelines that once kept us moving together begin to split apart. Drawing on social comparison theory, he shows how easily our self-worth can become tied to where others seem to be, instead of honoring the unique path we’re on.
 
Jay reframes the idea of being “behind,” not as a failure but an essential part of growth. Through psychology and real-life examples, he emphasizes that endings matter more than beginnings, and that setbacks are not signs of weakness, but proof that we’re actively building resilience. He challenges our attachment to comfort, which can quietly keep us stuck, and reminds us that what feels like delay is really unseen preparation for the skills and foundations that lead to future success. Jay shifts how we measure progress, from chasing empty wins to recognizing that grit matters more than perfection.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Redefine Success on Your Timeline
 
How to Recognize False Progress in Others
 
How to See Struggle as Strength
 
How to Turn Setbacks into Resilience
 
How to Trust That You’re Not Late
 
The struggles you face today are shaping your resilience, your wisdom, and your strength for tomorrow. You are not late, you are not lost, you are simply on your own timeline.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

Feel Behind in Your Career, Relationship or Life? THIS Is the Episode You Need To Stop Comparing Yourself

How do you usually deal with stress?
 
Does it help you feel better, or just distract you for a while?
 
Today, Jay welcomes globally recognized nutritionist and corporate wellness strategist Mona Sharma to share her inspiring journey from corporate burnout to holistic healing. Mona opens up about her personal health struggles; two heart surgeries, chronic stress, and years of misalignment, that ultimately led her to rediscover the healing practices she grew up with in the ashram. Mona explains how returning to yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, and mindful nutrition helped her reclaim her health and purpose, transforming her pain into a mission to guide others toward vitality.
 
Together, Jay and Mona explore how true wellness goes beyond diets and quick fixes. Mona emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes rather than just symptoms, teaching us that healing requires nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and holistic nourishment. They discuss the link between stress and disease, how lifestyle choices shape gut health, and why our beliefs about our bodies matter just as much as the food we eat. Mona shares practical tools, from mindful eating and breathwork to habit stacking and visualization, that help people align with their deepest values while supporting long-term health.
 
The conversation also highlights how modern science is finally catching up with ancient wisdom. Mona stresses the power of integrating Western medicine with Eastern practices to create a more complete vision of health.
 
In this interview, you'll learn:
 
How to Heal by Finding the Root Cause
 
How to Regulate Your Nervous System Daily
 
How to Transform Stress Into Resilience
 
How to Build Healing Rituals That Last
 
How to Improve Digestion Through Mindful Eating
 
How to Start Your Day Without Sugar and Coffee
 
How to Optimize Sleep for Deep Restoration
 
True healing begins when we stop searching for quick fixes and start honoring the wisdom of our own bodies. Every symptom, every craving, every restless night is not a failure, it’s a message guiding us back to balance.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

In this special live episode recorded at an iHeart event in New York City, Jay Shetty reflects on his journey from speaking to empty rooms to sharing ancient wisdom with millions around the world. He reveals how reframing adversity helps us face life’s “first arrows” without adding the extra pain of self-criticism, and the daily practices that keep him grounded through challenge. With powerful stories, from a Navy SEAL finding purpose through On Purpose while on deployment, to a young cheerleader who radiates joy despite paralysis, Jay shows how resilience and perspective can transform even our hardest moments into sources of strength and growth.
 
Jay breaks down what it really means to make “wisdom go viral” and why presence, not time, is the key to deeper connection. He shares the courage it takes to say no to protect your energy, how to keep your soul at the center in an AI-driven world, and the creativity that unlocks when seeing life through childlike eyes. This episode is your reminder to slow down, live with purpose, and let curiosity lead you toward greater connection and fulfillment.
 
In this conversation, you'll learn:
 
How to Reframe Adversity
 
How to Build Confidence from Hard Times
 
How to Protect Your Energy in Service
 
How to Say No Without Guilt
 
How to Think With Childlike Creativity
 
When we pause to reflect, reconnect with what truly matters, and choose to act with purpose, we not only uplift ourselves, we inspire others to do the same. Keep leaning into curiosity, resilience, and compassion, and you’ll find that the path ahead holds far more possibility than limitation.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

Exhausted From Being a People Pleaser? Use THIS 0–10 Rule to Say “No” Without Guilt

Is there something from childhood you still carry?
 
How do you think it still affects you today?
 
In this special compilation episode of On Purpose, Jay revisits some of the most transformative conversations on trauma, healing, and resilience. Featuring insights from Dr. Gabor Maté, John Legend, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Bruce Perry, and Anitta, Jay uncovers how unaddressed wounds can quietly shape the way we live, and more importantly, how we can begin the journey toward understanding, growth, and true healing.
 
From Dr. Gabor Maté’s wisdom on the unseen toll of suppressing our authentic selves, to John Legend’s candid reflections on grief and loss, each conversation uncovers a unique layer of what it means to hold pain and still pursue growth. Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce Perry invite us to shift the question from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?”—a powerful reframe that transforms shame into compassion. Anita’s story of releasing inherited fears reminds us that even generational wounds can heal when we bring them into the light.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Recognize Hidden Trauma
 
How to Grieve Without Losing Connection
 
How to Reframe “What’s Wrong” Into “What Happened”
 
How to Understand the Impact of Childhood Neglect
 
How to Transform Inherited Fears Into Strength
 
How to Begin Healing Through Awareness
 
Healing is never a straight line, but every step you take toward understanding yourself is a step toward freedom. When you give yourself permission to feel, reflect, and release, you begin to transform what once held you back into a source of strength to move forward. 
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty.
