I cried at the end of this episode. It was truly magical and beautiful. As someone in recovery hearing her willingness, openness and honest was so powerful. Thank you Jay for creating a safe space for her light to shine!

JenLG25 · Aug 2026

This is a weekly go to podcast for when I want to expand my thought process, when I want to learn something new, hear something I’ve never heard, to be challenged in all the best ways, this is the podcast I turn too. There is not person, conversation, or topic Jay hasn’t explored nor shy away from. I am always enlightened every time I listen.

BrittanyTB. · Sep 2025

I first discovered Jay Shetty through his wisdom on Instagram, then read his books, and now his podcast has become one of my favorite guides. Every episode feels inspiring, practical, and full of heart. Jay has a unique way of breaking down big ideas into lessons that truly stick, and I always walk away having learned something new. His work continues to be a source of clarity and encouragement in my daily life

I used to love listening to this podcast, and while I understand advertising is an important part of income, I have become incredibly disappointed to hear ads for traditional pharmaceutical and insurance companies. In the past, I used to feel the ads Jay took on were more in-line with what he preaches. But I feel like the recent addition of drug and insurance companies, is just a money grab. Taking this off my go-to podcast list, sadly. Just personal preference; I know not everyone will agree.

Rebecca Stumpf · Dec 2024

It’s difficult to enjoy an episode because it is loaded with ads. Of the 1.5 hour episode, I bet 30 minutes of it is ads, incredibly irritating to have a conversation interrupted multiple times.

AubreeeerbuA · Aug 2026

Unfollowed/unsubscribed. At a minimum, this episode should have a trigger warning. I’ve not always agreed with Jay or his guests but the July 22, 2024 episode with Elise Goodman was downright irresponsible. Jay can do better. Encouraging listeners to forgo standard evidence-based cancer treatments and suggesting cancers can be cured by diet, juicing, mindset is a disgrace. Elise actually implies that her husband’s choice of western medicine treatment of his cancer led to his death after 18 months. Wow, just wow.
