On Purpose with Jay Shetty

What does “financial freedom” mean to you?
 
What’s one thing you wish you learned about money earlier?
 
In this On Purpose compilation episode, Jay Shetty brings together leading voices in business, money, and mindset—Scott Galloway, Codie Sanchez, Lewis Howes, and Jaspreet Singh—to break down what it really means to build wealth in today’s world.
 
This episode explores the gap between surviving and thriving—and why mindset, habits, and practical skills matter just as much (if not more) than how much you earn. Whether you're in your 20s navigating debt, in your 40s reassessing your financial goals, or simply someone who wants more clarity around money—this conversation is for you.
 
You’ll learn how to:
 
Shift From a Scarcity Mindset to an Abundance Mindset.
 
Use The Skills You Have To Create Financial Freedom.
 
Ditch the Lies You’ve Been Told About Money.
 
Make Smarter, Long-Term Moves With Money—Without Overwhelm.
 
Through personal stories, real strategies, and mindset shifts, Jay and his guests offer a new way to think about wealth—not as a number, but as a lifestyle built on freedom, stability, and purpose.
 
Whether you feel stuck, uncertain, or just ready for a smarter approach to money, this episode will give you the mindset and tools to move forward with confidence.
 
True wealth isn’t about how much you earn—it’s about how well you build.
 
Start building the life you actually want, one smart decision at a time.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty.

Jay's Must-Listens: Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck! 4 Money Experts Break Down How to FINALLY Achieve Financial Freedom (Even If You’re Starting From Zero!) Ft. Codie Sanchez And Scott Galloway

Do you ever feel like you need others to approve of your choices?
 
When was the last time you did something just for yourself?
 
In this heartfelt episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty sits down with award-winning actress and singer Cynthia Erivo for a raw and inspiring conversation. Cynthia opens up about her whirlwind year—filming back to back movies, performing at the Oscars, and pouring her soul into her deeply personal new album, I Forgive You. Even in the busiest seasons of her life, Cynthia is discovering the power of stillness—making space to rest, reset, and care for herself mentally, emotionally, and physically. 
 
Cynthia opens up about the emotional weight she’s carried—the pain of feeling abandoned by her father and the relentless pressure to keep proving herself. She and Jay explore the exhausting chase for external approval—and how it often leads to burnout, disconnection, and a version of success that doesn’t feel like yours. Cynthia’s path has been one of unlearning—releasing fear-based patterns and learning to create from a place of wholeness. Her journey is one of deep self-reflection and healing, which shines through in her new music.
 
Together, Jay and Cynthia unpack what it really means to own your truth, make peace with your past, and finally feel at home in the present. Cynthia’s stories of heartbreak, transformation, and creative rebirth offer powerful insights for anyone navigating change or searching for their purpose. This episode is rich with wisdom, warmth, and a reminder that healing and growth are always possible.
 
In this episode, you'll learn:
 
How to Build Daily Habits That Ground You Anywhere
 
How to Embrace Rest Without Guilt
 
How to Heal from the Need for External Validation
 
How to Let Go of the Pressure to Overachieve
 
How to Share Your True Self Without Fear
 
How to Create from a Place of Love, Not Pain
 
Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, chasing your dreams, or simply learning how to slow down, know this: you are allowed to evolve, to let go, and to begin again.
 
With Love and Gratitude,
 
Jay Shetty

But this isn’t just a heavy conversation about what’s wrong with the world—it’s packed with solutions.

What are you leaving behind in 2024?
 
How do you plan to make more space for growth in 2025?
 
Today, Jay reflects on the art of letting go to make space for personal growth in 2025. He shares a transformative framework for self-improvement by identifying ten habits, beliefs, and mindsets to leave behind. Using the Buddha’s analogy of a raft, he emphasizes the importance of releasing old tools that no longer serve us to navigate life’s new challenges more freely.

He encourages listeners to embrace risk, foster self-compassion, and reframe their relationship with time and perfectionism. Thought-provoking anecdotes, like the role of light and dark in optimizing sleep and the illusion of justice as a universal principle, provide actionable insights for creating a balanced and intentional life.

How to Let Go of Fear and Embrace Mistakes
 
How to Balance Self-Criticism and Self-Compassion
 
How to Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time

10 Things I Am Leaving Behind in 2024 to Make Space for 2025

We all have our own struggles. We all have battles we face daily and fight differently. We all have baggage that we drag around anywhere we go. We all have that something that takes away our peace.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty shares with us ways, both small and big, to calm down and maintain a level of inner peace and life balance.
