Jay’s Must-Listens: 7 Transformative Les...

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Do you ever pretend to be confident when you’re not?

When do you feel most confident?

What if real confidence isn’t loud or visible—but built quietly in the moments no one else sees? In today's Jay's Must-Listens, Jay explores the powerful theme of inner confidence—not the kind rooted in outside validation or achievements, but the kind built slowly through learning to trust yourself, commitment to showing up, and living with purpose.

Throughout the episode, Jay draws from powerful moments with past guests and their helpful insights. He shares a moment from his conversation with Kendall Jenner, where she opened up about experiencing anxiety and how even people who appear confident outwardly are often battling internal struggles. Jay also references insights from Lisa Bilyeu, who spoke about repetition and how confidence is built by proving to yourself—again and again—that you can do hard things. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Build Confidence Without External Validation

How to Create a Daily Confidence-Boosting Practice

How to Turn Self-Doubt into Self-Discipline

How to Build Confidence Through Repetition and Consistency

How to Anchor Yourself with Purpose, Not Praise

How to Redefine Confidence as Clarity and Alignment

This episode is both a motivational reset and a practical guide for anyone who’s ready to stop doubting themselves or seeking outside validation and start rooting their confidence in something far more lasting: their own truth.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty.
