Do you want to learn how to strengthen your relationship over time? 

Do you want to have better communication and expectations with your partner? 

On this very special episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty sits down with the former First Lady of the country, Michelle Obama. During Michelle’s time as First Lady, Michelle launched several initiatives, including "Let's Move!" which aimed to combat childhood obesity, and "Reach Higher," promoting higher education. Her memoir "Becoming," released in 2018, became one of the best-selling books of that year and took the world by storm. Today we sit down to talk about her most recent book, “The Light We Carry.” 

In this raw conversation, Michelle opens up about her thoughts on marriage, fame, and public service. She talks about the toxicity of social media and technology that affects our mental health and how to be open to the changes and possibilities people bring with them. She also talks about how negative news and social updates are affecting our society and the community we are in.

We also dive deep into relationships and  why we put so much pressure on our marriage, how to choose the right person for you and make the relationship work even when it isn’t perfect, and how to practice constructive arguments with your partner.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

• How to think freely and independently
• How to take care of your mental health
• How to become a supportive partner
• How deal with negativity
• How to become an effective leader
• How to make your marriage last  

Together we’ll learn how to find calm amid life's noise, give people the space to be seen and heard, and explore topics that resonate with the very fabric of our personal growth journey.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Today, I welcome my good friend Michael Acton Smith. Michael is the co-founder and co-Executive Chairman of Calm, the leading mental wellness brand with the #1 App for Sleep, Meditation and Relaxation. Calm has grown to over 100 million downloads, was the Apple 2017 app of the year, and is the world's first mental health unicorn. Long fascinated by neuroscience, flow states and mental fitness, Michael is passionate about spreading meditation as a simple but valuable skill around the world. 

Michael discusses the interesting twist of putting an entertainment voice in meditation, challenging myths, and misconceptions surrounding this powerful practice. We tap into the future of mental health, exploring why sometimes we need to step back to find the answers. Patience has always been the secret to success.

As the conversation progressed, we stirred into the potential of AI and its role in the next evolution of Calm and potentially address the question: How can technology be harnessed to serve humanity better? There is a future in AI and how it immensely helps spread mental health awareness and promote mindfulness practice. 

In this interview, you will learn:

• The many benefits of meditation
• How to practice mindfulness
• How to sit in silence and calm your mind
• How to leverage your creativity
• The connection between AI and mental health

When the word ‘prosperity’ is used, we often think about monetary success or abundance. What comes to your mind when “Relationship Prosperity” is mentioned? If we don’t have relationship prosperity, what do we have? Relationship problems! Problems arise when needs are not met. Because of past hurts, we often enter relationships subconsciously looking for healing (listen to episode 98 where I address understanding emotional baggage in relationships). Ultimately, we want love. Love that offers affirmation, acceptance, appreciation, patience and compassion, which is my perspective of relationship prosperity. If you associated money with relationship prosperity, please know, wealth is not enough to sustain relationships. The wealthy get divorced or separated every day. I truly believe, Former President Jimmy Carter and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter completed 77 years of marriage because of relationship prosperity. In this episode, I offer 5 strategies for developing Relationship Prosperity, which can be used in personal and professional relationships.

It’s no secret making friends as a young adult is hard. In high school, you’re forced to be around people 8 hours a day. If you go to college you’re forced to live with people and are still in a bubble where there are countless organizations to get involved in. But if you don’t go to college or recently graduated from there, it’s tough. Where do you start? City on Purpose takes the work out of it for you in Atlanta to find events, roommates, and more. We also discuss practical steps to take when searching and why in-person is more important than online.

Ever feel like making friends is a puzzle you can't quite solve? 

You're not alone, mama! 

In this episode of Motherhood in ADHD, we unpack the nuances of friendship with our guest Caroline Maguire. 

Caroline is a leader in social skills development and the author of the book, “Why Will No One Play With Me?” – a handbook on how to communicate social skills training for your kids… and yourself!

If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD impacts how you make and keep friends, this episode is for you. 

We're talking about those oops-did-I-say-too-much moments and the I-have-no-idea-what-to-say ones. 

Caroline answers questions from listeners like:

• What do I do when I’ve been ghosted?

• How do I reach out when I’ve been distant due to my ADHD?

• How should I approach talking to my friends, co-workers or bosses about how my ADHD affects my communication style?

• How do I help my kids have successful friendships without pushing them too hard?

Our relationships shape our lives – but they’re not easy when you have ADHD. So let’s dig in and figure it out together.

Dr. Kathy considers how belonging does more than make us feel good. She outlines in the podcast the value of belonging for building identity, highlighting aspects from her book Five to Thrive, where she shares the core needs found in science that are essential for building a solid identity. Dr. Kathy highlights in her book how these needs are true because God made them true and has them manifest in special ways in reality. In her book, she outlines a Christian view of how these needs are met most wholly in Christ and how building an identity on Jesus is one that will never fall or falter. Pick up her book Five to Thrive here>>

A new report on media and movies is showing kids want less sexual relationships with the characters and more platonic or friendship relationships. It's a sign for us that kids are hungering for real meaningful friendships, something talked about consistently in the examples of community in Scripture. So how can parents feed this hunger and shape the loves that drive it? Dr. Kathy has important insights in today's episode of Facing the Dark

What does it truly mean to have a best friend? Someone who sticks by your side through thick and thin, who understands you better than anyone else, and who you can always rely on. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of friendship and the significance these relationships hold in our lives. We discuss the concept of a 'best best friend', and how this bond can be both complex and rewarding. We share our own stories of friendship, shedding light on the importance of trust, reliability, and the absence of judgment in these special connections.

Ever contemplated the differences between a 'melting pot' and a 'salad' while reflecting on American culture? Or pondered about the phenomenon of 'quiet quitting' in your work life? Well, you're in for a treat! We navigate these multifaceted topics, offering a unique lens into the American experience. We also express our love for the show 'Smart List', and the brilliant Sean Hayes. This episode is a testament to the richness and diversity that America encompasses, and the beauty of embracing it all. 

Here's a little nostalgia trip for you! We're talking about the classic TV shows that have left an indelible mark on our culture and brought us closer to our friends and family. From the timeless humor of 'I Love Lucy' to the relatable struggles in 'Good Times', these shows have shaped our perception of friendship and family. We also offer our gratitude to the legendary Norman Lear, the man behind many of these iconic shows. As we conclude, we share the joy and heartache that comes with friendships, underlining the fact that the real treasure in life is the connections we make and maintain. So grab your best friend, and join us on this incredibly fun journey!

Love, dating and friendships can feel like a black box in our 20s when we're trying to make the most out of our formative years. None of us have the answers or a guide to some of our biggest questions - how do I actually make new friends, how many friends should I have, should I be settling down this early or exploring my options? In part two of this series we breakdown how to make the most out of our personal relationships during this decade. We discuss why your answer should always be 'yes', why quantity over quality may actually be more correct when it comes to friendships in our 20s and the benefit on getting our heart broken and loving as deeply as possible during this period. We also cover my 7 tips for personal growth to make the most out of this decade, from letting go of our ego to taking time to uncover our childhood wounds, as well as the power of just having a laugh at yourself every now and then. All that and more, listen now!
