Hannah Berner: Why Getting Fired Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me

Have you ever been fired from a job?

Did it end up leading you to something better?

Today, Jay sits down with comedian, podcaster, and former reality TV star Hannah Berner to explore her unconventional journey—from competitive tennis to stand-up comedy. Hannah shares how she’s mastered the art of pivoting, embracing change, and knowing when to walk away from something that no longer serves her.

Hannah opens up about her struggles with performance anxiety during her tennis career and the surprising sense of calm she found on stage. Through humor and self-reflection, Hannah shares how life’s setbacks—like getting fired from reality TV—turned out to be unexpected blessings that helped her find her true purpose.

Jay and Hannah also discuss the importance of trusting your instincts, quitting with confidence, and listening to your body when it tells you something isn’t right. Things get personal as Hannah opens up about love, marriage, and self-worth, sharing the importance of relationships should feel effortless and not draining.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Overcome Performance Anxiety

How to Trust Your Instincts in Big Decisions

How to Create a Career That Aligns with Your Personality

How to Navigate the Challenges of Marriage and Long-Term Commitment

How to Let Go of External Validation and Focus on Self-Worth

How to Handle Criticism and Keep Moving Forward

Whether you’re questioning your career, your relationships, or your purpose, trust that walking away from what doesn’t serve you is just as powerful as chasing what does.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
