About this episode

What does healing your inner child mean?

How can you heal from past trauma?

Today, let's welcome Grammy-nominated global superstar, Anitta, who has become a leading artist of a new generation of Latin American music. Her album "Versions of Me" surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, and she earned a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist in 2023. Known for her energetic performances and bold personality, Anitta is also deeply spiritual, integrating various practices to maintain her well-being and authenticity.

A significant part of the episode focuses on the duality of Anitta's identity. She explains how she balances her stage persona with her true self, Larissa, and the importance of nurturing both. Anitta shares the struggles she faced with comparisons, societal expectations, and the pressure to maintain a certain image. Her journey towards self-acceptance and self-love is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. 

Jay and Anitta also talk about the importance of staying grounded amidst success, sharing her daily routines that include meditation, energy cleansing, and connecting with nature. Despite facing criticism and backlash, she remains committed to expressing and celebrating her culture through her music and public appearances.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to stay grounded amidst success

How to overcome comparisons

How to heal from past trauma

How to manage your health

How to cultivate self-love

How to handle criticisms

Anitta's story is a reminder that true success is not just about external achievements but also about inner peace, self-love, and staying connected to one's roots.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
