Roxie Nafousi: Struggle With Low Self-Worth & No Confidence? (Use This Life-Changing 3-Step Method!) Dec 01, 2025

Show notes

What’s been making you doubt yourself lately?

What do you think triggered that feeling?

Today, Jay welcomes back his friend Roxie Nafousi to unpack what confidence actually looks and feels like, not the glossy, loud, performative version, but the quiet inner knowing that you are enough as you are. They start by breaking down how much of our insecurity comes from the stories we tell ourselves: the overthinking before we walk into a room, the mental replay after we walk out, and the way we let validation, or the lack of it, shape our worth.

Roxie then opens up about something she’s never shared publicly: her long struggle with body dysmorphic disorder. She talks honestly about the thoughts that dominated her life, the fear of being seen, and the belief that changing her appearance would quiet the constant self-criticism. Jay meets her with compassion as they unpack how these patterns form, how they shape the way you move through the world, and how healing begins with learning to speak to yourself with empathy instead of judgment.

Jay and Roxie offer a roadmap that anyone can follow: mastering your inner voice, letting go of the pressure to be liked by everyone, celebrating the small wins, and choosing to show up as the version of yourself your higher self would be proud of.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Redefine Confidence From the Inside Out

How to Stop Seeking External Validation

How to Manage Comparison Before It Controls You

How to Think Like Your Higher Self

How to Break Free From People-Pleasing

How to Handle Rejection Without Blaming Yourself

How to Replace Self-Criticism With Self-Awareness

When you start choosing compassion over judgment, intention over fear, and growth over perfection, you slowly reconnect with the part of yourself that’s always been there. The journey isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about finally seeing who you’ve been all along.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

8 Simple Mindset Shifts to Feel Gratitude Even When Your Life Isn’t Where You Want it To Be Nov 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Jay talks about a side of gratitude we rarely acknowledge, the kind that isn’t shiny or uplifting, but the kind that helps when life feels heavy, complicated, or far from what you expected. He explains how, for years, he treated gratitude like something meant to fix pain or override his feelings, and how that mindset only added pressure instead of bringing any real peace.

Jay talks about what real gratitude actually feels like, not the kind that tries to cancel out your struggles, but the kind that can sit beside them. He shares how acknowledging both things at once, what hurts and what’s still good, builds real resilience. Jay breaks down why phrases like “at least…” shut your feelings down, while using “even though…” or “and…” keeps you present with your emotions instead of pushing them away.

Jay also shares the small, practical habits that help him reconnect with gratitude when it feels far away: paying attention to what stayed instead of what disappeared, taking 10-second pauses to notice something good in the moment, borrowing someone else’s joy when you can’t access your own, and writing a thank-you note to the version of you who got through the harder seasons.

Jay reminds us that gratitude isn’t supposed to hide what’s hard, it’s meant to help you steady yourself. It’s the quiet admission: “Life is messy, and there’s still something I can hold onto.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to Stop Using Gratitude to Mask Your Feelings

How to Hold Pain and Gratitude Together

How to Notice What Stayed, Not What Left

How to Use 10-Second Pauses to Reset

How to Borrow Gratitude When You Can’t Feel It

How to Thank the You Who Survived

You’re not doing gratitude wrong, you’re just learning to do it honestly. Keep showing up with awareness, gentleness, and patience. You’re not rebuilding from zero, you’re rebuilding from experience.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty.

Divorce Lawyer James Sexton: #1 Conversation Every Couple Should Have Before it’s Too Late (Use THIS 3-Step Script TODAY!) Nov 24, 2025

Show notes

What do you need from a partner that you haven’t been getting?

How can someone show up for you in a way that meets that need?

Today, Jay sits down with renowned divorce attorney and author James Sexton for a conversation that redefines what it means to love and be loved. With over twenty-five years spent guiding couples through heartbreak and separation, James has witnessed both the beauty and the brutality of human connection. Together, he and Jay explore the paradox of marriage: how something that begins with so much hope can unravel through silence, misunderstanding, and unmet needs. James shares that the greatest threat to relationships isn’t cheating or money, it’s disconnection: the slow fading of curiosity, gratitude, and presence that turns partners into strangers.

Jay and James invite listeners to look past the fairytale version of romance and into the real work of partnership. They talk about how we’re taught to plan weddings rather than marriages, and why the most meaningful moments come from small, steady acts of care, not grand romantic gestures. Whether it’s remembering to replace a partner’s favorite granola or reaching for their hand without being asked, James shows that a strong marriage isn’t about avoiding conflict, but about staying close even in the uncomfortable moments. He reminds us that love isn't for the faint of heart. It’s an act of courage, one that asks for honesty, vulnerability, and the discipline to keep showing up, especially when it’s hardest.

The conversation becomes less about divorce and more about what love is really made of. Jay and James uncover how relationships can serve as mirrors, revealing our insecurities, our longing to be seen, and our deepest fears of unworthiness. They remind us that to truly love another person, we must also learn to love ourselves, flaws, imperfections, and all.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Stay Connected in Love

How to Keep the Spark Alive in Marriage

How to Recognize When Disconnection Begins

How to Argue Without Breaking the Bond

How to Rebuild Trust After Betrayal

How to Talk About Difficult Topics with Compassion

How to Choose Courage Over Comfort in Relationships

Whether you’re married, single, healing, or starting over, this episode is a masterclass in emotional intelligence, offering timeless wisdom on how to nurture connection, protect what matters, and find courage in the vulnerability that love demands.

Jay & Radhi Talk About Icks vs. Red Flags (How to ACTUALLY Know the Difference) Nov 22, 2025

Show notes

In this fun and unfiltered episode, Jay and Radhi dive into the world of “icks,” those oddly specific little turn-offs that make us cringe for reasons we can’t quite explain. From baby voices and socks with sandals to the blurry line between confidence and cockiness, they laugh their way through the most random dating deal-breakers and what they secretly reveal about us. Amid the jokes, they slip in a few truth bombs too, like how we sometimes use icks to avoid real vulnerability. It’s light, hilarious, and uncomfortably relatable, because honestly, we’ve all had an ick… and we’ve definitely been someone else’s.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Tell the Difference Between an Ick and a Red Flag

How to Communicate Honestly About What Bothers You

How to Recognize When You’re Using an Ick as an Excuse

How to Appreciate Imperfections in the People You Love

It’s easy to get caught up in small things that bother us, but true connection isn’t built on perfection, it’s built on patience, humor, and understanding. Everyone has quirks, and sometimes those quirks are what make relationships real.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

00:00 Intro

00:19 What is an Ick?

03:07 The Funniest Icks

05:21 How Seriously Should People Take Icks?

09:39 Can You Get Over an Ick?

6 Lessons I Wish I Knew in My 20’s & 30’s (This Will INSTANTLY Give You Direction!) Nov 21, 2025

Show notes

What’s one thing you wish you learned earlier in life?

What do you think would’ve changed for you if you learned it sooner?

Today, Jay reflects on the lessons he wishes he’d learned in his twenties and thirties, wisdom shaped by mistakes, growth, and years of inner work. He opens up about how easy it is to get swept up in chasing outcomes or living for other people’s expectations, and how those patterns can quietly pull us away from our true path. Jay also explains why success and happiness are completely different skill sets, and how understanding that early on can save you years of unnecessary frustration.

Jay also talks honestly about what healing really feels like, the side no one prepares you for. He explains that growth doesn’t always look inspiring; sometimes it shows up as exhaustion, confusion, or feeling like everything is falling apart. But that discomfort is often just old patterns breaking down so new ones can take shape. Through empathy, personal stories, and practical insights, Jay walks us through the “decade of firsts,” from first jobs to first heartbreaks, and reminds us that feeling lost isn’t failure. It’s a natural part of becoming someone stronger, clearer, and more aligned with who you’re meant to be.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Hear Your Inner Voice Again

How to Define Success on Your Own Terms

How to Build Confidence Through Self-Trust

How to Turn Rejection Into Insight

How to Break Free From Others’ Expectations

How to Heal Even When It Feels Messy

You’re not behind, you’re growing at the pace your life is asking you to grow. Keep showing up with curiosity, patience, and compassion for yourself. You’re building something meaningful, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Emma Grede: #1 Trick Successful People Use Every Day (THIS Will Open Doors You Didn’t Know Existed!) Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

What’s one habit that’s helped you succeed lately?

What made you decide to stick with that habit?

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’t something you wait to feel, it’s something you build through action, decision-making, and showing up for the opportunities in front of you.

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’re in, how competence is the foundation of real confidence, and why chasing “passion” isn’t always the most strategic move. Jay adds powerful reflections on focus, leaning into your strengths, and accepting that you don’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’re meant to be.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Stop Caring What Others Think

How to Build Confidence Through Competence

How to Use Fear as Fuel, Not a Setback

How to Become Excellent at What You’re Doing Now

How to Set Your Own Standards, Not Society’s

How to Start Before You Have It All Figured Out

You don’t have to wait until you feel fully ready, fully confident, or fully “enough.” 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.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

KRIS JENNER: The Untold Story of Family, Love, and Forgiveness Nov 17, 2025

Show notes

Today, Jay sits down with Kris Jenner for a raw and candid conversation about her roots, family, and the incredible lessons she’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.

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.

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.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Lead with Gratitude Every Day

How to Raise Ambitious but Grounded Kids

How to Slow Down and Be Fully Present

How to Build a Family Rooted in Love, Not Competition

How to Balance Success with Inner Peace

How to Protect Your Peace in a Noisy World

Life has a way of reminding us that true success isn’t measured by status or possessions, it’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.

With Love and Gratitude,

Show notes

Today, Jay and Radhi explore the delicate balance between sharing and oversharing, both online and in everyday life.

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?

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Protect Your Energy When Sharing

How to Be Vulnerable with Intention

How to Keep Private Goals Sacred

How to Find the Right People to Confide In

Jay Shetty

How to Move On When You Still Miss Your Ex (4 Hard Truths That Will FINALLY Set You Free) Nov 14, 2025

Show notes

What truth about the relationship have you been ignoring?

What makes that truth hard for you to accept?

Today, Jay opens up about one of the hardest things we go through, trying to get over someone we once loved. He reminds us that healing isn’t about pretending we’re okay or trying to move on too quickly. It’s about realizing that what we often miss isn’t the person themselves, but how we felt when we were with them: seen, loved, and alive. Jay gently walks us through why breakups hurt so deeply, how our minds are built for connection, and why finding closure really starts with reconnecting to ourselves.

Jay also shares how to stop replaying the past and start finding your rhythm again. He reminds us that healing isn’t about erasing the love, it’s about learning from it. You don’t need to have it all figured out today, you just need to take one small step back toward yourself. Because the real journey after a breakup isn’t about getting over someone else, it’s about remembering who you were before them, and discovering who you’re becoming next.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Stop Romanticizing the Past

How to Let Go When You Still Miss Them

How to Rebuild Your Life After a Breakup

How to Move On Without Losing Yourself

How to Remember You Were Enough All Along

You are not broken for still feeling; you are human for still caring. One day, the memories that hurt will simply remind you of how far you’ve come. Keep showing up for yourself, because the love you’re searching for begins with you.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
