Have you ever resented someone from keeping a secret from you?

Do you often put other people's feelings before your own?

We explore how to receive and react to challenging news. This episode is one that you definitely do not want to miss if you have ever dealt with navigating familial relationships and dynamics.

Kerry Washington is an Emmy award winning, SAG & Emmy- nominated actor, producer and director, and activist. Washington received widespread recognition for her role as Olivia Pope on ABC’s hit drama Scandal.

Today we get to see a side of Kerry that we’ve never seen or heard before. She takes us through a journey of unveiling a long guarded family secret. A secret that took her down a journey of transformation, resilience and healing. This is a story that we can all relate to in our own ways.

If you love this episode, Kerry’s new memoir is Thicker Than Water and you can hear even more stories about how Kerry has navigated challenges of life.

This conversation is an invitation to explore the depths of truth, the human heart and the transformative power of rewriting your own story.

In this interview, you will learn:

The family secret that changed her life

How she leaned into compassion and not anger

How do you share challenging news to your children or loved ones?

How she embraced her new truth and allowed herself to take control of her narrative

The secret to what has allowed her to be deeply rooted

How we can hold space for many truths at once

How the revelation of a truth can make way for greater and deeper love

We invite you to join us on this deep exploration of secrets, truth, self discovery and witnessing the power of compassion and love in the presence of pain.

Jay Shetty

10 Ways To Spot Ego & How To Replace it With Self Esteem Thoughts

There are so many voices in our head and sometimes it’s hard to tell if you’re displaying ego or self-esteem. You have to notice and switch your dialogue to strengthen the voice you want. You have to switch for something higher. The Ego stops you from observing deeper and blocks curiosity. Self-Esteem allows you to approach something with fresh ears and eyes. Today I’ll share the signals that help me choose higher thoughts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

6 Reasons Why It’s Never Too Late To Quit and Start Over

6 Reasons Why It’s Never Too Late To Quit and Start Over

“I wish I started earlier” Have you ever told yourself that? Or how about “It’s too late” or “it’s not going to happen for me anymore”. My follow up is: Too late for what? Too late for who? Who made up these rules? We are all made to feel that we need to have our lives figured out by 21, but to put that false expectation on yourself is absurd. Our current education system is teaching us subjects not problem solving, emotional management or self awareness. Without experience under our belts, we rush into making bad decisions. Realize there are benefits in starting later, and many people have like Samuel Jackon and Stan Lee! Today you’ll get a brand new perspective and start becoming the person you should’ve been.
