What’s the biggest lesson you learned this year? What advice would you give yourself a year ago? In this special birthday reflection, Jay opens up about the most meaningful lessons he’s learned over the past year. Rather than focusing on milestones or achievements, he dives into the deeper truths that shape how we love, pay attention, and grow within. From realizing that overhelping can sometimes hold others back, to seeing how saying “no” can be one of the most honest forms of respect, Jay invites us to rethink the way we set boundaries, show compassion, and care for ourselves and others. Jay reminds us that real wealth isn’t measured in material success, but in how we direct our attention, and how often we waste it on distractions, resentment, or things we can’t control. He explains how fulfillment comes from aligning our choices with our values, letting go of envy and ego, and prioritizing kindness over recognition. Jay also shares why people change more when they feel understood than when they’re corrected, and why the endings of our experiences often matter more than the beginnings. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Say No With Confidence How to Align Success With Your Values How to Let Go of Ego and Envy How to Learn From People Who Frustrate You How to Listen Instead of Correct Growth is not about perfection, it’s about choosing small, intentional steps each day that move you closer to the life you truly want. The lessons we learn through mistakes, struggles, and reflections are not setbacks, but stepping stones that shape our strength and clarity.

Is your podcast too boring? It's a question that makes even seasoned hosts squirm, but for beginner and intermediate podcasters, it's the elephant in the recording studio. Today, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable truth: most podcasts lose listeners not because of bad audio or lack of guests, but because they're just plain dull. We break down the subtle signs your show might be putting people to sleep, as well as the reasons why even passionate creators fall into the “boring” trap. Midway through, we shift gears to dissect a headline that's got the podcast world buzzing: author Amie McNee's recent appearance on Jay Shetty's “On Purpose” podcast. She went on to promote her book, but the response? Crickets. Was this a mismatch for her community, or a bold marketing experiment? We unpack the risks, the strategy, and what it means for creators everywhere.Labor Day Sale! Empowered Podcasting Conference tickets are 50% off this week only!

Have you noticed changes in your sleep? Do you sometimes feel more anxious than usual? Today, Jay sits down with Emmy award–winning journalist and bestselling author Tamsen Fadal to open up one of the most overlooked conversations in health and wellness: menopause. Tamsen shares her personal journey of confusion, discovery, and advocacy, breaking down why menopause has been shrouded in taboo for so long and how it impacts not just women’s bodies, but their emotions, relationships, and careers. Together, they explore the often-hidden symptoms of perimenopause, from brain fog and anxiety to disrupted sleep and loss of confidence, and how these challenges spill over into every aspect of life. Tamsen explains the science behind the hormonal shifts, debunks the biggest myths, and reveals practical solutions, from lifestyle changes and stress management to hormone therapy and community support. Most importantly, she reminds women that their best years are not behind them, but ahead. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Spot Early Signs of Perimenopause How to Differentiate Perimenopause from Menopause How to Support Your Family Through Menopause How to Build Healthy Midlife Habits How to Find Community During Transition How to Advocate for Yourself at the Doctor’s Office Every transition comes with challenges, but it also carries the possibility of growth, wisdom, and renewal.

When was the last time you felt genuinely happy with your partner? Do you feel more stressed or more at peace in your relationship? Today, Jay dives into one of the most draining patterns in relationships: trying to change someone who isn’t ready to change. Whether it’s a partner, friend, or family member, we often convince ourselves that if we just love harder, give more, or push in the right way, they’ll finally become the version of themselves we know they could be. Jay reminds us, people don’t change because of our hopes, our timelines, or our pain, they change when they’re ready and when the cost of staying the same finally outweighs the cost of growth. Jay dives into the psychology of why we hold on to someone’s potential, even when their actions show otherwise, often rooted in our own unmet needs or fear of being alone. He reminds us that the clearest way to see reality is to believe what people do, not what they say, and that patterns, not promises, reveal who someone truly is right now. Jay also challenges the belief that trying to change someone is an act of love, showing how it’s more often a form of control that keeps us from confronting our own discomfort. You’ll learn how to practice radical acceptance, not as giving up, but as an act of respect for yourself and the other person. Jay reveals why the most loving choice is sometimes to step back or let go entirely, showing that real change only happens in environments of shared commitment, not through pressure, persuasion, or endless patience. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to Stop Falling for Someone’s Potential How to See Patterns Instead of Promises How to Practice Radical Acceptance Without Lowering Your Standards How to Tell the Difference Between Love and Control How to Let Go Without Losing Compassion No matter where you are in your relationship journey, remember: you’re not here to be someone’s savior. You’re here to love them as they are, or love yourself enough to walk away.

How do you normally calm yourself when you’re overwhelmed? Have you ever tried meditation before? Today, Jay brings you a diverse exploration of meditation with some of today’s most insightful minds: Dr. Joe Dispenza, Big Sean, Michael Acton Smith, Vishen Lakhiani, and Sam Harris. From science to music, entrepreneurship to spirituality, each guest reveals how meditation has shaped their lives, and how you can use it as a powerful tool for focus, healing, and inner transformation. Together, they show us that meditation is far more than sitting in silence, it’s a pathway to healing, clarity, and growth. Whether it’s rewiring the nervous system, reprogramming the mind, or unlocking creativity and resilience, this conversation demonstrates the many ways meditation can ground you in the present and while also opening you to what’s possible. Whether you’re just beginning or returning with new intention, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with yourself. These insights remind us the practice isn’t about getting it “right,” but about consistency, curiosity, and compassion for yourself. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Reprogram Your Mind Through Meditation How to Turn Elevated Emotions Into Healing How to Build a Daily Meditation Routine That Sticks How to Heal Your Body by Training Your Mind Meditation isn’t about where you begin, it’s about the choice to begin at all. Each breath is a chance to return, reset, and remember the calm already within you. Wherever you are, restless, curious, or seeking clarity, meditation offers a doorway inward.

Have you ever doubted yourself? Has self-doubt ever held you back? Today, Jay welcomes back tennis legend Novak Djokovic for a deep and vulnerable conversation about what it truly takes to master both the external and internal journey to success. Novak reflects on the practices instilled in him from childhood: visualization, journaling, meditation, and even listening to classical music, that became the foundation of his holistic approach to self-care and peak performance. He shares how these early lessons influenced his career and his outlook on growth, spirituality, and resilience, helping him see tennis not just as a sport but as a path to becoming a better person. Together, Jay and Novak explore the hidden battles that come with chasing greatness, including the pressure of expectation, the tension between ego and humility, and the deep-rooted feelings of not being enough that fueled Novak’s drive from a young age. Novak opens up about the struggles of injury, criticism, and hostile environments, and how he learned to transform those moments into opportunities for growth. He emphasizes that even at the height of his career, the real work is internal, practicing surrender, emotional regulation, and presence; reminding us that success is as much about mastering the mind as it is about winning titles. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Build Mental Strength Like a Champion How to Turn Pain Into Purpose How to Practice Surrender and Let Go How to Use Visualization to Shape Your Future How to Find Balance Between Ego and Humility How to Recover From Setbacks With Resilience How to Create Daily Habits for Inner Peace Every challenge, setback, and victory is an opportunity to reflect, strengthen your resilience, and tap into the strength you already have. Remember, real success isn’t just about achievements, it’s about how you live, how you grow, and the impact you leave behind.

In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim takes you inside his personal journey of building a new life in Costa Rica - the highs, the lows, and the unexpected lessons about presence, clarity, and decision-making. From nausea-inducing dirt roads to perfect mornings surfing in Costa Rica, John unpacks how life-changing decisions aren't made in one big moment… but in a collection of small ones. You'll learn: Why clarity about life, love, and career comes from moments, not constant certainty How to notice and “bank” the moments that matter when deciding whether to move abroad, who to love, or what path to take The challenges of living in Costa Rica - from unpaved roads to missing city comforts and the surprising joys that outweigh them How being present is the only way to truly capture moments (and how most of us miss them) Why life's “yes” often comes from an accumulation of tiny affirmations rather than a single sign Join the conversation! What moments have shaped your biggest life decisions? Have you noticed when your “piggy bank” of yeses finally tipped the scale? Share your story with us. Like this episode?

In this episode, licensed therapist John Kim gets personal about the mother wound - how it quietly shapes our self-worth, love life, and sense of safety. From a surprising MDMA journey insight to stories about his Korean-American upbringing, John unpacks what it's like to grow up without emotional warmth from mom - and how this absence leaves lasting imprints on both men and women. You'll learn: Why the mother wound isn't just a “women's issue” How emotional absence can be just as impactful as physical absence The different ways the mother wound shows up in men (approval seeking, caretaking confusion, fear of intimacy) and women (perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, boundary struggles) How it fuels unhealthy patterns like codependency, attachment insecurity, and emotional projection Practical steps for healing: naming the wound without blame, reparenting yourself, rewriting old relationship scripts, and doing inner child work Join the conversation!

If you're stuck in an unhealthy relationship and wondering whether it's right for you or you're recently facing the pain and confusion of a breakup, we invite you to tune into this episode with John Kim, also known as the Angry Therapist, to explore his viewpoint on relationship endings. John lays out how breakups or ‘relationship expirations' as he coins them, can serve as powerful catalysts to kickstart your own personal growth, and highlights the importance of self-reflection, healthy boundaries, and meaningful connection with yourself and others. Speaking from his own experiences, as well as insights and stories from his latest book, Breakup on Purpose, you'll hear why John sees breakups as not just painful endings but meaningful rites of passage that can offer space to learn and evolve. Listen and Learn:Breakups, while painful, can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth when approached with reflection and ownershipShifting how we view breakups from failures to “expired relationships” helps us embrace healing and rewrite the narrative around endingsHow to balance knowing when to work through relationship challenges versus when it's healthy to walk awayWhy breakups are a natural rite of passage and essential for personal growthWhy humility and self-reflection are essential but often difficult steps toward personal growthHealing from a breakup involves embracing the pain with compassion, finding purpose beyond the relationship, and transforming personal loss into growth and a greater meaningful journeyHow society places too much importance on romantic love as the sole source of meaning and fulfillment and elying on one romantic partner to fulfill all needs is unrealistic and sets people up for disappointmentBreakups have distinctive types that require different responses and healing strategiesHow to balance self-comfort with avoiding behaviors that hinder healing after a breakup by setting personal limits and gradually re-engaging with lifeThe importance of meaningful connection, whether through community, close relationships, or personal passions, as a vital part of recovery, especially for introvertsThe cycle of rupture and repair in relationships is essential, teaching us how to build deeper connection, resilience, and emotional safetyResources:John's Website: https://www.theangrytherapist.com/John's Books: Break Up On Purpose: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780063275331 Single On Purpose: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780062980731 Connect with John on Socials: https://www.facebook.com/john.kim.1650/https://www.linkedin.com/in/theangrytherapisthttps://www.instagram.com/theangrytherapist/Power of Discord by Ed Tronick and Claudia Gold: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780316488877 Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780807060100 About John KimJohn Kim, widely known as 'The Angry Therapist.'

(eeee!)We dive into what it really means to align with your desires ~ emotionally, energetically and practically. I chat about how to raise your vibration so you're attracting people, opportunities and experiences that match your magic. And yep, we get into the juicy stuff like visualisation, acting as if, and shifting your emotional baseline so your nervous system knows it's safe to receive.We also explore what happens when energies don't align… you know when you're doing all the things but it's just not flowing?! Often this is when you need to surrender and trust, but of course when we want something, it can be so hard to let go ~ because it's natural to want to control it. But when you give up the need to control, life flows with you instead of against you.There's a bit of brain science too, (don't worry, I keep it light!) including how to quiet your logical side and tap into that beautiful, expansive right side of the brain where creativity and divine inspiration live.This one is for you if you're ready to loosen your grip, let go of the how, and co-create something even better than you imagined.The Universe cannot deliver to a closed door….

A Manifestation Challenge with Cleo Massey from Pass Around the Smile. Welcome to episode 2, ‘Ask It Like You Mean It,' Download the ritual soundtrack, colouring book and the Make It More Than A Dream work book here!The ritual soundtrack is a powerful 25-minute ritual led by me, Cleo! This immersive experience weaves together guided meditations, journaling prompts, and affirmations designed to support you in manifesting your desires.

An inspiring escape to help you switch off, surrender, and let go as your manifestations unfold.In this episode, we explore a powerful question: Why are you whispering your dreams instead of declaring them?I dive deep into how to ask from a place of alignment and confidence ~ not fear or scarcity. We talk about how to ask, when to ask, and who to ask, and we unpack the common mistakes many of us make when we shrink our desires out of fear of failure, judgment, or our own potential. We also explore the way we perceive our dreams, and how it's not the Universe or the Law of Attraction that sees them as big or difficult ~ it's us. That perception alone can create resistance and block the very thing we're trying to call in.When you ask loud and clear, you're affirming: I know who I am, I feel worthy of what I want and I trust that the universe is listening.You'll hear why the feeling behind your ask is just as important as the words ~ and how to shift from a hesitant hope to a bold, clear declaration. I also share how to handle asking for multiple things, when it may be too much, and how to stay grounded in your truth and what you deserve.This week's optional extra is a 20-minute ritual soundtrack ~ featuring guided meditation, aligned journal prompts, and beautiful music to elevate your mindset and help you manifest with more ease and intention. It's a nourishing, all-in-one practice you can return to whenever you need to reset, realign, or reignite your belief.

I have something really cool to share today, This is a conversation I had with Jay Shetty for his On Purpose podcast, where we talked about the modern dating dilemma of endless options and the fear of settling. We discussed the danger of always looking for “someone better” as a dating strategy, why we miss out on meaningful connections, and how to find a real relationship rather than optimizing for the perfect partner. If you've ever felt like you're always torn between chasing someone exciting or someone who brings you peace, this episode will help you create a love life that actually works for you. --- ►► Want Your # 1 Dating Problem Solved Personally?
