7 Things to Do This Weekend to Boost Your Mental Health

What happens when success arrives before you truly know who you are. How do you learn to quiet the inner critic while becoming a better partner, parent, and person in the process?

Today, Jay sits down with Nick Jonas for an intimate conversation about identity, purpose, and the inner work that comes with growing up in the spotlight. Nick opens up about what it was really like starting his career so young, dealing with rejection early on and growing up with the pressure of being labeled “the shy, creative one.”

As the conversation unfolds, Nick shares how fatherhood, marriage, and health challenges have profoundly redefined his priorities. He reflects on the vulnerability of becoming a parent, the anxiety that comes with loving someone so deeply, and the grounding practices, movement, routine, and therapy that help him stay present. Through stories of his daughter’s early days, his evolving relationship with faith, and the inspiration behind his new music, Nick reveals how creativity became both a refuge and a mirror, allowing him to heal, grow, and speak more honestly than ever before.

Jay and Nick discuss what it truly means to be a good partner, a present parent, and a kinder version of yourself, especially when life feels overwhelming.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Turn Life’s Hardest Seasons Into Creative Fuel

How to Stay Grounded When You’ve Lived Life in the Spotlight

How to Be a Present Partner Instead of a Defensive One

How to Navigate Anxiety Without Letting It Define You

How to Reconnect With the Fearless Version of Yourself

How to Build Emotional Resilience Through Routine and Movement

How to Show Up as a Better Parent by Healing Yourself First

Wherever you are in your journey, know that it’s okay to slow down, ask better questions, and choose compassion over criticism. You’re allowed to evolve, outgrow old labels, and rewrite the way you speak to yourself.

NICK JONAS: The REAL Story Behind a Lifetime of Fame, His Inner Critic, and How Fatherhood Changed Everything

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/339a118d-1dd2-478f-87ab-b3e700620792/transcript

We’re not failing at life. We were just never taught how to speak up, handle rejection, and confidently ask for what we want.

Today, Jay sits down with sales leader and entrepreneur Shelby Sapp to unpack why sales isn’t about convincing others, but about understanding people, building trust, and believing in yourself. Shelby shares how the skills that helped her go from door-to-door sales to building a thriving business are the same skills we use every day: advocating for ourselves, navigating rejection, and communicating our value. She reframes sales as a mindset shift, from seeing “no” as failure to seeing it as feedback, explaining why learning how to sell is really about learning how to think, speak, and lead with confidence.

Jay and Shelby break down the core principles that make sales applicable to every area of life: identifying leverage, creating real value, keeping things simple, and having the courage to ask for what you want. Shelby explains why people don’t buy products, they buy solutions, outcomes, and relief and how rejection becomes easier when you stop taking it personally.

They also dive into the deeper mindset shifts that separate those who stay stuck from those who grow. Shelby challenges the idea that confidence comes before action, revealing instead that confidence is built by doing uncomfortable things repeatedly and overcoming rejection. Jay reflects on how sales skills teach resilience, the ability to keep showing up with belief even after setbacks, and why handling rejection well can unlock opportunities in every part of life.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Sell Without Feeling Manipulative

How to Communicate Your Value Clearly

How to Handle “No” Without Taking It Personally

How to Ask for What You Want (and Get It)

How to Identify What Truly Motivates People

How to Stop Overexplaining and Keep It Simple

How to Create Momentum When You Feel Stuck

Progress isn’t about perfection, it’s about momentum. Trust yourself enough to ask, to act, and to keep going. The skills you build today will shape the confidence, freedom, and purpose you step into tomorrow. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Sales Expert Shelby Sapp: The Simple Sales Framework You Can Use in Work, Money, and Relationships (Follow THIS Method to FINALLY Get The Life You Deserve)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/b47949cd-3632-4bd5-80db-b3e5006633f0/transcript

Today, Jay breaks down why so many of us feel drained, overwhelmed, and burned out, and what it really means to protect your energy. He begins by unpacking the quiet habits that drain us without us realizing it: overgiving, overcommitting, mistaking busyness for worth, and confusing being agreeable with being kind. Jay reminds us that our energy is our currency, and whether we notice it or not, we’re spending it with every text, every thought, and every interaction. The people in our lives either expand us or exhaust us, and often, our bodies recognize the truth long before our minds catch up.

Jay then breaks down the subtle relationship dynamics that quietly drain our energy. From emotional dumping and boundary testing to one-sided support and situational friendships, he explains how these patterns, often unintentional, slowly wear us down. He also turns the focus inward, revealing how we drain ourselves by seeking approval, avoiding discomfort, and trying to earn love through overextending. Protecting your peace isn’t about cutting people off, it’s about ending the cycle of self-betrayal that keeps you exhausted.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Protect Your Energy Daily

How to Stop Overextending Yourself

How to Respond When Someone Drains Your Energy

How to Run a Weekly Energy Audit

How to Build Physical, Emotional, and Energetic Boundaries

Take a moment today to breathe, recalibrate, and return to yourself. You deserve to feel grounded, clear, and whole. The more you honor your own capacity, the more you’ll show up in the world with the warmth, clarity, and presence you’ve been searching for.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
