To our MWB readers,
Ever feel like your brain has 47 tabs open – and not one of them is loading? Welcome to modern life. We’re all scrolling, rushing, overthinking, and trying to “figure it out” while barely catching our breath. But what if you gave yourself the radical gift of stillness, for 30 minutes a day? Enter: On Purpose with Jay Shetty.
At MWB, we believe self-care isn’t always skincare. Sometimes, it’s plugging in your earphones, shutting the door, and letting someone talk you down from the chaos cliff. Jay Shetty – a former monk with the heart of a poet and the storytelling flair of a Netflix screenwriter – does exactly that. His podcast, On Purpose, isn’t about lofty self-help jargon. It’s about peeling back the noise and hearing what your own life is trying to tell you.
From global icons like Michelle Obama and Selena Gomez to solo sessions on heartbreak, healing, and hustle culture, Jay doesn’t just ask good questions; he lives in them. Every episode feels like a journal entry you didn’t know you needed. Vulnerable. Intentional. Refreshingly unfiltered.
Feeling burnt out by back-to-back deadlines? There’s an episode for that. Can’t stop comparing yourself to everyone on Instagram? There’s an episode for that, too. Think of On Purpose as a travelling toolkit for your emotional backpack – equipped with real talk, research, and that gentle voice reminding you: you’re allowed to slow down.
For our readers juggling city commutes, family expectations, career crossroads, and that ever-elusive “balance,” Jay Shetty offers something rare: depth without the drama. He talks about self-worth like a friend who’s been through it. About failure like a teacher who knows the cost. And about love, like someone who’s chosen to believe in it, again and again.
And don’t expect polished perfection. Jay owns his mess. His struggles with identity, anxiety, belonging. That’s what makes the podcast land like a quiet truth – you trust it. You want to live it.
So, if you’re curating your personal “Self-Care Shelf,” slide this one in with pride. On Purpose doesn’t promise to fix your life. But it just might help you start listening to it more clearly.
Hit play. Breathe deep. Be on purpose.
