Do you want to reduce your stress in just 7 minutes a day? 

Do you want to learn how to make meditation easy and accessible for you?

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

It's an episode packed with insights, laughter, and a sprinkle of mindfulness. Together, let's explore the boundless possibilities of a calm and balanced life together! 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a way to not get so annoyed or frustrated with the people that you love?

There is. 

It’s called the “Let Them” theory. Mel discovered it while arguing with her son about a taco stand, and she hasn’t stopped using it since.

She first explained the “Let Them” theory in a 60-second reel on Instagram. 63 million views later. The verdict is in. Everyone loves the “let them” theory.

Today, Mel is in the studio, taking your calls live and teaching you 6 ways to improve any relationship with the “Let Them” theory.

In this episode, you hear Mel cover topics like:

How to handle a mother-in-law who is not supportive.

Feeling left out? Good. You need better friends.

Why moving in with your parents is better than living with an ex.

What to say when your sibling wants to gossip about your mom.

Why being the family peacekeeper creates a war inside you.

How to stop being the “fixer” in your relationships.

The truth about addiction in a family and the role you need to play.

Why your dad’s gambling problem isn’t yours to fix.

How rescuing people robs them of the problems they need to face.

What to do when your parents’ marriage is in crisis.

How to tell a friend you are sick of hearing about their relationship drama.

Why you shouldn’t be the “therapist” for your friend group.

Why it's normal for friends to drop you when you start drawing boundaries.

We all know the feeling of wanting desperately to move on from someone - an ex, a past love, situationship, someone we know we shouldn't be with - but being unable to stop obsessively thinking about them. In this episode we explore the psychology behind why that is, but also how to get to the next stage of healing where you are free of the past memories, thoughts and your feelings for this person. We discuss: 

• The psychological need for emotional closure and how to provide YOURSELF closure

• The chemical reason for obsession and unrequited 
• Anxious attachment and overthinking 
• The excuses that keep us invested in the wrong people

• 10 tips for getting over someone you can't stop thinking about 

If you are struggling to move on, even though you've tried and are ready, this one is for you as we unpack how to move on from someone you can't stop thinking about.
