  • Harvard Psychologist Matthew Nock: 20% of People Experience Suicidal Thoughts! (Spot the Signs and Ask THESE Questions That Could Save a Life)
    Sep 15 2025

    Trigger Warning: Suicide & Self-Harm

    If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call or text 988 (U.S.) or contact your local emergency services.

    Have you been feeling down lately?

    What’s been weighing on you the most?

    Today, Jay sits down with Dr. Matthew Nock, Harvard psychologist and one of the world’s foremost experts on suicide prevention, to unpack one of the most urgent and misunderstood issues of our time. Together, they dismantle common myths about suicide, revealing that it’s rarely about wanting life to end, but more often about escaping overwhelming pain. Drawing on decades of groundbreaking research, Matthew explains how suicidal thoughts take shape, why they don’t always lead to action, and how depression, anxiety, impulsivity, and social disconnection can shape someone’s experience.

    Jay and Matthew also look at how culture, gender, and age shape risk, uncovering why men are more likely to die by suicide, why adolescence is such a vulnerable stage, and how isolation later in life can intensify struggle. They examine the double edge of technology and AI, from the dangers of online bullying to the hopeful potential tools that can predict when someone may be most at risk. The conversation underscores the lifesaving power of open dialogue, especially between parents and children, while dispelling the myth that asking about suicide will put the idea in someone’s mind.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Talk About Suicide Without Fear

    How to Support a Friend in Crisis

    How to Spot Risk Factors in Adolescents

    How to Create a Safety Plan at Home

    How to Use Technology Safely for Mental Health

    How to Break the Stigma Around Suicide

    How to Strengthen Hope and Connection

    You are not alone, and your presence in this world carries more value than you may realize. Hold on to hope, and know that even in the darkest moments, there are pathways toward light, growth, and renewal.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

  • Give Me 30 Minutes and You Will Never Struggle With a Decision Again
    Sep 12 2025

    Do you find it hard to decide?

    What usually makes it hard for you?

    Today, Jay dives into two of the biggest roadblocks that keep us from living the life we want: overthinking and procrastination. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck on a decision for weeks, second-guessing every choice, or waiting for the “perfect” moment to act, you’re not alone. Jay reminds us that chasing absolute certainty, readiness, or approval often leaves us standing still. The reality is, confidence comes from taking action, not the other way around, and real transformation rarely feels comfortable.

    Jay breaks down the seven steps to making smarter, faster, and more aligned decisions. You’ll learn to protect your mental energy by reducing decision fatigue, sort decisions so you stop treating small choices like life-or-death moments, and learn to trust your emotions before engaging logic. Jay introduces practical tools like the 10/10/10 game to shift your focus from short-term impulses to long-term clarity, regret simulations that guide you to choose integrity over fear, and identity questions that align your decisions with the person you want to become. Above all, Jay shows that the quickest way to reduce anxiety is not certainty, but action.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    How to Clear the Mental Clutter to Make Better Decisions

    How to Tell the Difference Between Big & Small Decisions

    How to Trust Your First Instinct Without Regret

    How to Stop Letting Fear Make Your Choices

    How to Stop Hesitating and Start Moving Forward

    No matter what decision is weighing on you right now, remember this: indecision is still a decision, and staying stuck costs more than trying and getting it wrong. Take the next step, not when you’re ready, but so you can be ready.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

  • US OPEN CHAMPION Aryna Sabalenka EXCLUSIVE: Transforming Doubt, Pressure & Loss into HUGE Success
    Sep 10 2025

    How do you usually handle self-doubt?

    How do you find your confidence again?

    Today, Jay welcomes two-time U.S. Open Champion Aryna Sabalenka just days after her incredible victory. Aryna opens up about what it truly feels like to lift the trophy again, not only as a moment of triumph, but as a deep release after seasons of heartbreak and near misses. She reflects on the sting of falling short in Grand Slam finals and the heavy weight of being labeled the favorite, sharing how those setbacks forced her to grow into a calmer, more emotionally balanced competitor. Aryna’s honesty about pain, pressure, and resilience gives a rare glimpse into the mindset of a true champion.

    The conversation dives deep into the mental battles that shape elite performances. Aryna opens up about her relationship with nerves, the self-talk that carries her through the grind of a Grand Slam, and the inner dialogue she’s learned to trust. Rather than resisting fear or doubt, she has learned to accept them, turning vulnerability into strength. Aryna also highlights the critical role of gratitude, choosing to see the pressure of competition as a privilege rather than a burden. Through stories of her father’s encouragement and his lasting influence, Aryna illustrates how her drive is not only for personal success, but also to honor his legacy.

    In this interview, you'll learn:

    How to Use Self-Talk to Stay Focused

    How to Celebrate Your Wins Without Guilt

    How to Balance Pressure With Gratitude

    How to Keep Showing Up When It’s Hard

    How to Surround Yourself With the Right People

    How to Build Confidence Step by Step

    Success isn’t only about reaching the finish line, it’s about the discipline of showing up, the courage to keep going when it’s difficult, and the willingness to celebrate even the small wins along the way.

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

I was fortunate to listened to this at the time I needed to hear the message Jay was conveying. I have always struggle to differentiate between productivity and being effective. As a healthcare worker who have to take a break because I was feeling all the anxiety , depression and burned out being in the Frontline during this pandemic. Being on break have made me felt so guilty because I felt that I was not being productive by not working. One of the people who was supposed to help me heal of my physical disabilities that I was experiencing made me felt guilty of not going back to work sooner than expected and felt he felt I was just being lazy and non-productive. that all mybphysical pain are not an issue not to return to work comparing himself to me sounding like being empathetic but looking at me in his own lens. Now on the road to returning to work very soon this April . I felt lighter and guit free that I made time to heal and take a break to be more effective in my work not just being productive. I should have start listening to your podcasts sooner right after I have read your book Jay. I have read it many times and return on chapters that I felt will assist me in processing feelings and thoughts I am experiencing during times I needed enlightenment. thank you I'm grateful
