    • Kim Kardashian on Unseen Solitude and Jay Shetty's InspirationDespite being in the public eye, finding alone time and self-expression is important. Prioritizing personal routines and learning from challenges in parenting and relationships can lead to growth.

      Kim Kardashian talks about the importance of being unseen and finding alone time amidst the madness of her busy life. She prioritizes her morning workout routine and car ride alone where she listens to music. She also shares her admiration for Jay Shetty's podcast which encourages people to express themselves in a more meaningful way. Despite showing all her faces to the world, she believes people pick and choose what they want to take from her. Kim also acknowledges the challenges of parenting, family dynamics, and relationships and shares her tips and learnings along the way.

    • The Importance of Compassion and Patience in nurturing RelationshipsShowing empathy and support for others as they grow and change is crucial in any relationship. It is important to listen to others' stories and allow them to evolve in their own unique way.

      Compassion and care are important in any relationship, including family. It is crucial to have patience for people as they grow and evolve at their own pace, without expecting them to reach the same level of self-awareness as you. Real love is being patient with others as they try to change and supporting them in their journey. Spending time with people and listening to their stories can expand your capacity for empathy and compassion. Self-work is not about preaching to others about the things you want to hear, but rather allowing them to grow and evolve in their own unique way.

    • The Power of Self-Work: Trusting your Inner Voice and Prioritizing your HappinessTrusting yourself and prioritizing your own happiness can lead to confidence, success and eliminating unnecessary stress. Choose happiness and open up new opportunities in life.

      Self-work, including methods such as meditation and exercise, differs for everyone. Trusting your inner voice and prioritizing your own happiness can lead to confidence and success. Putting yourself first does not mean disregarding others' feelings, but rather protecting your own heart and eliminating unnecessary stress. Choosing happiness can open up opportunities that may have seemed impossible.

    • Choosing Yourself: The Key to Positive Changes and Opportunities in LifePrioritize your own happiness, value loyal and supportive relationships, find solutions instead of complaining, and appreciate the stability and reliability of longstanding connections in both personal and professional life.

      Choosing yourself can bring positive changes and opportunities in life. Focus on your own happiness instead of trying to please everyone. Loyalty and supportive relationships are valuable, and it's important to not take things too seriously and find solutions instead of complaining. Longstanding relationships can indicate stability and reliability, and it's important to value them in both personal and professional aspects of life.

    • The Importance of Grounded Relationships and Adaptability in ParentingMaintaining strong relationships and adapting to challenges are key to finding pride and fulfillment in the parenting journey. Prioritizing valuable relationships and taking time for them is essential, even amidst the demands of everyday life.

      Maintaining strong relationships requires mutual respect and support, regardless of the different roles and challenges that may arise. Grounded relationships that are grounded in love contribute to a person's overall stability and sense of self. With parenting, there is never a right time to start. No amount of preparation can truly prepare you for the challenges and chaos that will come, but learning to adapt, understand, and appreciate each moment of the journey can bring a sense of pride and fulfillment. It is important to value the relationships that matter and make time for them, even amid the distractions and competing demands of success and everyday life.

    • The Lessons of Parenting: Finding Purpose and Meaning in the JourneyParenting is a complex journey that requires patience, effective communication, and consistent scheduling. As children grow older, the relationship between parent and child evolves, providing opportunities for deeper bonds, meaningful relationships, and lasting legacies.

      Parenting is a challenging yet rewarding job that teaches you a lot about yourself. It can bring out the best and worst in you, and sometimes it takes having multiple children to fully understand the lessons. Patience, scheduling, and communication are key, and it's important to appreciate the forever nature of parenting. As children grow older, the relationship evolves, and the struggles of the teenage years can lead to a deeper bond. Ultimately, parenting provides the opportunity to create meaningful relationships and legacies that transcend generations.

    • Kim Kardashian: Parenting and Fighting for JusticeKim Kardashian encourages her children to use their voices and speaks up for justice reform through her platform, making positive changes in the world.

      Kim Kardashian discusses her open and honest relationship with her children, and how she helps them navigate the nuances of her fame. Despite growing up in the public eye, Kim's children have a normal life, and she encourages them to use their little voices and speak up for themselves. Kim also talks about her journey into justice reform, sparked by seeing a case on social media that weighed on her heart. Through her interest in crime and solving things, she discovered there were thousands of cases that were unfair, and she felt compelled to do something. Kim's expression of purpose is using her voice and platform to make positive changes in the world.

    • Kim Kardashian's Journey to Empathy and Self-Acceptance.Kim Kardashian's experience advocating for criminal justice reform taught her the importance of second chances and appreciating the people and things in her life. Focusing on personal growth can lead to growth in how we judge and treat ourselves and others.

      Kim Kardashian's experience advocating for criminal justice reform led to increased empathy and a realization that many individuals lack opportunities to improve themselves. She now fights for second chances and encourages others to withhold judgment and instead focus on being happy and appreciative of the people and things in their lives. While Kim admits to being competitive, she is easy on herself and encourages others to be kinder to themselves in their internal dialogues. Personal growth in one area, like criminal justice reform, can also lead to growth in other areas, specifically in how we judge and treat ourselves and others.

    • The Importance of Surrounding Yourself with Like-minded PeopleIt's important to find people who share your values and beliefs but you can't force your beliefs on anyone. Positive peer pressure can be beneficial, but people have to go through their own journeys to grow. Make people feel welcomed and heard.

      It's important to surround yourself with like-minded people who share your values and morals. While it's natural to want to help others, you can't force your beliefs on someone who thinks differently. It's okay to let go and find people who align more with your core beliefs and values, rather than trying to mold them into what you want. Positive peer pressure can be healthy, but ultimately people have to go through their own journeys and lessons in order to grow. Kim Kardashian's biggest lesson from her mom is to make people feel warmly welcomed and heard.

    • The Power of Creating Meaningful Family Memories with Kim Kardashian.Spending quality time with loved ones and being present is crucial for building strong relationships and creating lasting memories. Balancing work and family time can be hard, but being present and giving time is what matters most.

      The importance of creating meaningful memories with family and loved ones is emphasized by Kim Kardashian in her conversation with Jay Shetty. Through spending time together and being present, children can learn to value strong relationships and create lasting memories. Kim also discusses the struggle of mom guilt and how finding balance between work and family time is important. Despite the difficulties of parenting, she emphasizes that being present and giving time is the most important thing parents can do. Kim's close relationships with her own family serve as inspiration for creating a strong family bond.

    • Kim Kardashian on Being a Positive Parenting Role ModelKim Kardashian writes her children letters documenting their growth, teaches them the value of pursuing passions and working hard, and makes their well-being and future success her top priority. She strives to inspire and make them feel loved and supported.

      Kim Kardashian shares her parenting journey and how she instills positive experiences and values in her children. She writes her kids a letter every year, documenting their growth, and includes silly memories and their favorite things. She also shows them the importance of pursuing passions and working hard. Kardashian acknowledges that being the best mom is challenging, but her kids see how much effort she puts into being a good role model. Despite occasional complaints from her kids, she continues to prioritize their well-being and future success. Through her actions, Kardashian strives to inspire her kids and make them feel loved and supported.

    • Kim Kardashian's Advice on Seizing Time, Trusting Your Gut, and Pursuing Your PassionsTime is precious, so make the most of your relationships. Trust your instincts and don't let conflicting advice overwhelm you. Give your best effort no matter what you do, and be fully present and dedicated in all aspects of life. Pursue your passions, as they are your path to success.

      Kim Kardashian emphasizes the importance of being present and making the most of relationships because time is limited. Losing a parent made her realize the value of time. She also advises against taking in too much advice and trusting one's gut, as conflicting advice can be overwhelming. Kim also shares that if she had to restart, she would pursue being a lawyer to help people. She believes that effort is the key to success, and one should always give their best no matter the job or situation. Being fully present and committed is crucial in all aspects of life.

    • Kim Kardashian's Journey on Valuing Life Experiences Over Material PossessionsAwareness in all aspects of life, finding purpose in difficult situations, and understanding that detachment means nothing owns you. Emotions should be acknowledged and used as an opportunity for growth rather than being suppressed.

      Kim Kardashian shares her experience of valuing material things and how life experiences have taught her that nothing is important. She learned this through experiencing multiple fires and realizing that she needed to focus on digitizing important memories rather than material possessions. Jay Shetty shares an Islamic proverb that states detachment doesn't mean owning nothing, it means nothing owns you. Kim agrees and shares that it's important to have awareness in all aspects of life, including relationships, material possessions, and emotions. She believes that it's okay to feel all the opposite emotions and go through them rather than holding them in. Kim also discusses the importance of finding purpose in difficult situations and using them as an opportunity for growth.

    • Kim Kardashian on Relationships, Heartbreak, and KindnessHolding on to relationships is important, but heartbreak should not destroy us. Take time, be mindful, and spread kindness. Sharing insights and being present help with growth and healing.

      Kim Kardashian believes that even though heartbreak is a part of our journey, relationships should be held on to even more preciously. She emphasizes the importance of not letting heartbreak destroy us and being at peace while also being a hopeless romantic. Kim believes in taking her time to not rush into things and being mindful of people who enter her life, especially when she has kids.

He is also a popular speaker and has taught negotiation at various business schools.

    Chris discusses his journey from being on a SWAT team to becoming a lead FBI negotiator.

    They Weren't The One For You and That's Ok (8 Steps to Breakthrough Heartbreak)

    They Weren't The One For You and That's Ok (8 Steps to Breakthrough Heartbreak)

    How did you realize they weren't the one for you?

    How did you cope with the heartbreak?

    Today shares a detailed exploration of the emotional journey involved in recognizing and accepting that someone you once believed was "the one" for you, wasn't actually the right person. Often, it’s common for people to convince themselves that someone is the perfect partner, even before that person has committed or shown signs of being a suitable match. This can lead to heartbreak when the relationship fails, but  it’s okay because the person wasn't truly right for them either.

    Jay also discusses the importance of understanding whether the person was truly healed from past wounds or whether they were presenting a version of themselves that wasn’t authentic. Consider the idea that sometimes people stay in relationships out of fear of being alone rather than genuine love or connection. And if a partner is unable or unwilling to engage in meaningful conversations, they might not be the right person.

    In this episode you'll learn:

    How to recognize when someone isn't right for you

    How to focus on your partner's reality, not ideals

    How to prioritize meaningful conversations

    How to stay self-aware after a breakup

    How to balance emotions in a relationship

    Remember, it's okay if someone wasn't the one for you—what matters most is that you remain true to yourself and continue to seek the love and connection you deserve.

    Dr. Aliza Pressman: How to Avoid Your Parents Mistakes & Raise Confident and Resilient Kids

    Dr. Aliza Pressman: How to Avoid Your Parents Mistakes & Raise Confident and Resilient Kids

    How do you help your children build confidence?

    How do you teach your kids to be resilient?

    Today, Jay welcomes Dr. Aliza Pressman. Aliza is a developmental psychologist with nearly two decades of experience working with families and healthcare providers. She is the host of the Raising Good Humans podcast and an expert in parenting strategies and child development. Dr. Pressman is also the author of The Five Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans, where she offers practical advice and insights for parents looking to raise emotionally resilient and well-rounded children. 

    Aliza begins by discussing whether everyone should become a parent and emphasizes the importance of being intentional and reflective before making that decision. She suggests that potential parents should think about their own values and how they want to approach parenting. She explains that having a strong, secure bond with a child is crucial for their development and that this bond can evolve over time, even if there have been mistakes along the way. 

    Some children are more sensitive and require a specific environment to thrive, while others are more adaptable. She encourages parents to be mindful of their child’s unique needs. The discussion moves on to discipline and encouragement. Dr. Pressman suggests that discipline should focus on teaching rather than punishing, with clear boundaries set for the child’s safety and well-being. When it comes to building confidence, she emphasizes that helping children develop skills (competence) is more effective than simply giving praise.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to handle parenting guilt and shame

    How to set boundaries for your child

    How to build your child’s confidence

    How to discipline effectively

    How to foster independence in your child

    How to build a secure attachment with your child

    By focusing on building secure attachments, setting clear boundaries, and fostering independence, parents can create a nurturing environment where their children can thrive.

    6 Steps to Detox from Your Phone & Reduce Your Anxiety Levels

    6 Steps to Detox from Your Phone & Reduce Your Anxiety Levels

    How often do you check your phone daily?

    Do you feel anxious when you’re away from your phone?

    Today, Jay addresses the growing concern of excessive phone and internet usage, exploring its detrimental effects on mental and physical health. He begins by explaining how activities like swiping, liking, and commenting on social media provide our brains with dopamine hits, which can create a cycle of dependency and compulsive behavior. Despite the benefits of technology, such as increased connectivity and access to information, many people feel less connected and more distracted, anxious, and impatient.

    Jay elaborates on the neurological aspects of dopamine and its role in pleasure-seeking behaviors, emphasizing that problems arise when we expect constant rewards from our online activities. He draws parallels between the brain's response to food and its response to digital consumption, advocating for a balanced approach that avoids overindulgence in either.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to become more conscious of your internet use

    How to have wifi-free meals

    How to replace morning phone use with healthier habits

    How to stay mindful when using technology

    How to engage in a cell phone detox

    The ultimate goal is to create a healthier, more intentional relationship with technology, leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

    How can you become more open and vulnerable in your relationships?

    Today, let's welcome Alexis Ren and Allie Michelle. Alexis is a model, entrepreneur, and social media influencer with over 18 million followers on Instagram. Known for her advocacy of mental health and self-empowerment, Alexis has leveraged her platform to promote wellness and personal growth. She is also the co-founder of "We Are Warriors," a female-driven wellness community focused on fostering self-love, strength, and growth among women worldwide.

The duo are the co-founders of "We Are Warriors," a female-driven wellness community focused on fostering self-love, strength, and growth among women worldwide. 

    Alexis and Allie's friendship began when they were preteens and they share how their relationship has been a cornerstone of their personal growth, providing mutual support through life's challenges. A significant turning point in their friendship occurred when Alexis's mother passed away, leading to Allie’s family adopting Alexis. 

    A significant theme throughout the discussion is the balance of masculine and feminine energies, which Alexis and Allie explore in depth.

    Robert Greene: How to Deal with Negative People When They Are in Your Family, Friend Circle or Work

    How do you deal with negative people close to you?

    How do you stay positive around negative people?

    Today, Jay welcomes Robert Greene, known for his bestsellers like "The 48 Laws of Power" and "The Daily Laws." Robert's works draw on historical figures and events to provide insights into the dynamics of power and social influence. His books are often used as guides for personal development, leadership, and understanding the complexities of human interactions. 

    Robert shares tips on dealing with negative people, emphasizing the importance of emotional distance and understanding that everyone has their flaws and shares his thoughts on the idea that our sense of self is just a mental construct, and real enlightenment comes from letting go of our egos. He also stresses the importance of questioning your beliefs to truly understand who you are and what you’re meant to do in life. 

    Followed by Jay and Robert's discussion on why it's more important to judge people by their character rather than their intelligence or charm, how a strong character is shown by handling criticism well, working well with others, and managing stress. They also talk about how modern life can make us less empathetic and the need to genuinely connect with others. 

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to deal with negative people

    How to develop empathy in modern life

    How to question your own beliefs

    How to stay true to yourself

    How to handle criticism constructively

    How to manage stress effectively

    4 Ways We Self-Sabotage & 3 Ways to Improve the Relationship We Have With Ourselves

    4 Ways We Self-Sabotage & 3 Ways to Improve the Relationship We Have With Ourselves

    What’s blocking you?

    What’s holding you back?

    Today, Jay talks about the concept of self-sabotage, examining how it manifests in various aspects of our lives and offering strategies for overcoming it. Self-sabotage is defined as behaviors that undermine our own success, happiness, and stated goals. These actions often occur subconsciously, rooted in deep psychological patterns formed during early childhood.

    Jay outlines four primary ways people self-sabotage: chronic lateness, procrastination, putting oneself down, and perfectionism. He also discusses the habit of putting oneself down, which can manifest through over-apologizing or refusing to take credit for accomplishments. This behavior is often linked to low self-esteem or an internalized critical voice from childhood.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to Recognize Self-Sabotage

    How to Stop Putting Yourself Down

    How to Change Negative Self-Talk

    How to Understand Your Triggers

    How to Set Boundaries

    By understanding and working through these patterns, you can unlock your full potential and achieve the success and happiness you desire.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty
