Today, Paris Hilton returns to On Purpose not as the icon the world once projected onto her, but as the woman she has fought to become. Paris opens up about the many chapters of her healing journey, through trauma, public scrutiny, and profound personal loss, and how each experience shaped her identity. From revisiting painful moments of being misunderstood, underestimated, and violated in the public eye, to reclaiming her narrative through creativity, advocacy, and self-compassion, Paris reflects on what it truly means to find your voice after years of silence.

Paris also shares how music became a lifeline, a form of therapy that helped her process pain and rediscover her voice, a journey that unfolds in her latest documentary, Infinite Icon. She speaks candidly about living with ADHD, not as a limitation, but as a superpower that fuels her creativity, courage, and entrepreneurial vision. Through stories of hyperfocus, resilience, and learning how to build systems that support the way her mind works, Paris reframes what success can look like when you stop trying to fit into a world that was never designed for you.

Now a mother of two, Paris reflects on how love, boundaries, and purpose have reshaped her life. She opens up about finding real partnership after doing the inner work, the joy and responsibility of raising children with kindness and openness, and why giving back, especially protecting vulnerable children and supporting communities in the aftermath of loss, has become central to who she is today.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Stop Carrying Shame That Was Never Yours

How to Heal Without Erasing Your Past

How to Set Boundaries Without Apologizing

How to Build Self-Worth Beyond Public Opinion

How to Lead With Kindness After Pain

How to Become Yourself Again After Survival Mode

You don’t have to be perfect to move forward. You don’t have to be understood by everyone to be worthy. What matters most is the relationship you build with yourself, the boundaries you honor, and the kindness you choose to lead with.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Real change doesn’t happen all at once, It’s built through quiet, repeated choices most people never notice. In this episode, Jay challenges the idea that transformation requires motivation or perfect timing, revealing instead that lasting change is created through systems, structure, and intentional design. He explains why most people stay stuck year after year, not because they lack discipline or talent, but because they rely on hope when what they need is strategy.

Jay walks us through a practical blueprint for lasting transformation, beginning with reshaping your environment so the right habits become your default. From upgrading your identity to mastering one skill that can reshape your confidence, career, and self-belief, he shows how small improvements compound over time. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and real human stories, Jay reframes success as consistency over perfection, choosing discipline when motivation fades and stepping into who you’re meant to become.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Change Your Life by Redesigning Your Environment

How to Make Good Habits Your Default

How to Use Fear as a Signal to Take Action

How to Break Big Goals Into Four Powerful Seasons

How to Transform Your Life by Serving Others

This year isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about becoming more of who you already are, with better systems, healthier boundaries, and stronger habits to support you. Progress won’t be linear, and that’s okay. What matters is staying committed to the direction, not the speed. Every effort counts, even the ones no one sees.

With Love and Gratitude,
