This wasn't supposed to be the first episode. I was just testing my gear—checking lighting, tweaking audio, and pretending to look like I knew what I was doing. Then I hit “Go Live” and decided to show people what MAKE IT WEIRD might feel like. No big deal. Just a harmless little test... that ended up kicking me in the soul.

Somehow, a random tech check turned into a full-blown existential gut-punch of a show. I opened up, got real, and weirdly, it felt right. So right that even my harshest critic—my wife Shari—looked at me with teary eyes and said, “This is your calling.”

So here it is. The accidental debut of MAKE IT WEIRD. Raw. Unsanitized. Totally unplanned. And apparently... destiny.

SHINE with Terry Jaymes is a live call-in show for the motivated misfit—the people who want more but can’t stand the self-help circus telling them to “manifest harder” or buy another damn workbook.

Terry Jaymes hates the modern self-help industry. The buzzwords. The gurus. The idea that living an inspired life requires a personality transplant, a vision board, or a retreat in the desert. On SHINE, Terry proves something far simpler: clarity isn’t complicated—and inspiration isn’t rare. You’ve just been distracted.

Every episode skips the small talk and goes straight to the question that matters—the one that strips away the noise, exposes who you really are, and reminds you that you’re not broken… you’re just unfocused. With sharp humor, zero fluff, and the instincts of a Hall-of-Fame-bound radio vet and mentor, Terry helps callers reconnect with their identity, their confidence, and their natural momentum.

No gurus. No clichés. No fixing yourself.
Just honest conversations, big laughs, and the shockingly simple truth about living inspired.

✨ This is SHINE.

MAKE IT WEIRD - We Just Witnessed Magic

SHINE with Terry Jaymes – Confidence, The Universe, Relationships & The Butter Show 🧈✨ (LIVE)

Tonight felt different.

I can’t explain it, but I feel like I’m getting my confidence back. Not the loud, radio-guy confidence. The grounded kind. The earned kind. The “I’ve been through some things and I’m still standing” kind.

And here’s the wild part…

I have this very strong feeling that the universe is taking me absolutely nowhere special.

Not to a mountaintop.
Not to a grand finale.
Not to some glitter-covered destiny.

Just… forward.

And honestly? That feels amazing.

We had a bunch of new faces in the live chat tonight (which fired me up more than you know), and I genuinely feel like some real friendships are forming here. That’s not algorithm. That’s energy.

I also answered two powerful emails:

• One from a man who feels like he’s losing his wife — and doesn’t know how to stop it.
• Another about success… but this one came with a warning that most people ignore.

Plus — we talked about the debut of The Butter Show 🧈 (yes, it’s happening… and yes, it’s exactly as weird as it sounds).

If you’re in a season of rebuilding confidence…
If you feel like life isn’t taking you somewhere “special” but you’re still hopeful…
If you want honest conversation without the motivational fluff…

You’re in the right place.

Welcome to SHINE.
We don’t sparkle.
We glow from friction.

THIS JUST MIGHT BE WHAT I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR

Today on SHINE with Terry Jaymes… we covered cardio, butter, emotional spirals, and hope. You know — wellness.

Terry kicks things off with an update on his latest fitness era: white woman workouts. That’s right. We’re talking highly committed, mildly aggressive, spiritually confusing exercise energy. If you’ve ever stretched like you’re healing generational trauma while secretly competing with everyone in the room, this one’s for you.

Then we check in on the delicious empire known as The Butter Show (yes, butter journalism is still happening and yes, it still matters).

But the real turn? The gym observations.

Terry dives into the haunting aura of desperation surrounding older guys at the gym — men mid-rep, mid-identity crisis, still fighting to become the version of themselves they feel inside. It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable. It’s weirdly heartfelt. And Terry makes the case that the women in their lives might need to understand what’s really going on behind the protein shakes and unnecessary supersets.

Then it’s email time, where things get real:
How do you stay in a positive mindset when life is going good — without sabotaging it, overthinking it, or waiting for the other shoe to drop?

Classic SHINE territory:
Laugh. Observe humanity. Accidentally have an emotional breakthrough.

If you’ve ever:
• reinvented yourself at the gym
• emotionally processed through snacks
• felt hopeful and suspicious about it

Welcome home.

MY 40 YEAR OLD WOMAN WORKOUT AND HOW TO BE A MASTER AT MANIFESTING

I couldn't let well enough alone. My new LIVE STREAMING show starts Tuesday 1/20. So I took to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch to let you know what to look for and to play my new theme song. That turned into a talk about taking responsibility for all your thoughts and actions. To quote one of the viewers "You just did your first show."
