  • The 15 Minute Morning Reset (Do This Today to Completely Recharge Your Mind and Body)
    May 9 2025

    What’s something that really helps you feel energized in the morning?

    Do you ever give yourself a moment to reset during the day?

    Today, Jay shares a powerful reminder, rest isn’t something you need to earn, it’s something you absolutely need. If you’ve ever felt guilty for taking a break or felt like you had to justify a vacation, this conversation challenges that mindset and offers a refreshing shift. Rest is not a luxury, it's the fuel for everything we do. Just like your phone needs to recharge, your body, mind, and soul require consistent, intentional recovery.

    Jay offers simple, practical habits you can start using right away to feel more rested and centered. From scheduling micro-breaks throughout your day, trying out the box breathing method, to practicing the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique to bring yourself back to the moment, these tools are small shifts that can make a big difference. You’ll also be encouraged to create tech-free spaces, embrace short daily walks in nature, and carve out intentional pauses in your schedule.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    How to Schedule Micro-Breaks Every 60–90 Minutes

    How to Redefine Rest as a Need, Not a Reward

    How to Release Guilt and Shame Around Taking Breaks

    How to Hydrate and Refocus During Short Breaks

    How to Reframe Rest as a Tool for Productivity and Creativity

    Making space to breathe, reflect, and recover won’t just help you feel better, it will help you show up better, think clearer, and live more purposefully.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

  • Khloé Kardashian: My Side that Nobody Knows (Truth Behind Headlines, Divorce, Co-Parenting)
    May 5 2025

    Have you ever been seen in a way that didn’t feel true to who you are?

    Who do you feel truly sees you for who you are?

    Today, Jay sits down once again with the incredible Khloé Kardashian to talk about growth, healing, and what it really means to evolve on your own terms. It’s been six years since Khloé first sat down with Jay, and a lot has changed. Now in her 40s, Khloé reflects on the defining moments of her 30s, the clarity she’s found in this new chapter, and how her journey has shaped the woman she is today

    In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Khloé opens up about what it really took to move through heartbreak, public judgment, and her own self-doubt. She shares how she learned to forgive herself, let go of shame, and step into a deeper sense of self-awareness. Khloé talks about navigating the pressures around motherhood, relationships, and success — and how therapy, journaling, and her unwavering faith helped her rediscover her worth and inner peace.

    Jay and Khloé also dive into what it looks like to slow down, make room for solitude, and intentionally choose joy. She offers a glimpse into her daily routines, the spiritual practices that ground her, and how she’s creating a loving, mindful environment for her children, one rooted not in perfection, but in presence and authenticity.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Set Emotional Boundaries Without Losing Your Kindness

    How to Forgive Yourself and Heal from Past Mistakes

    How to Use Solitude as a Tool for Self-Discovery

    How to Stop Comparing Your Journey to Others

    How to Build Emotional Resilience After Betrayal

    How to Raise Emotionally Aware and Grounded Children

    How to Find Peace Through Faith and Daily Rituals

    Through her candid storytelling and unwavering humility, Khloé offers hope, wisdom, and an empowering message of self-acceptance to anyone navigating their own inner transformation.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

Improve intimacy and save love and relationships

I love it very much and I can re-listen to this as a healthy reminder. There's so much I have learned from this that I wished I was conscious of before in my relationship. It was beautiful information and listening to it.

A podcast that adds value to your life.

I've been listening to On Purpose for over a year consistently, it is my Monday pick me up before work. It's always very motivating and it reminds me that I don't need to scare and stress about Monday, instead, it's a new opportunity to do what I want.

I've also follow Jay's meditation on YouTube and there's a funny experience I 'd like to share. Recently, I've taken a free dive class to experience something new. In order to calm my breath, the first thing that came to my mind was Jay' s voice saying " Calm, Balance & Peace" with the same amount of pauses he always said it, that boosted my courage to dive down into the ocean, to experience the unknown, it was wonderful.

Thank you again for the work that you've done.
