About this episode

How do you know when someone is truly right for you?

Have you ever confused attention for love?

In this special crossover episode, Jay Shetty steps out of his usual host role and joins media personality Tinx on her podcast, Office Hours, for a candid and profoundly enriching conversation. Jay opens up about his journey with meditation, relationships, and personal well-being. He breaks meditation down into simple, approachable practices like breathwork, visualization, and mantra, making it accessible to anyone who’s ever felt like they ‘can’t meditate.’

Jay and Tinx go deeper, unpacking the digital overwhelm of the constant pings, nonstop news, and the pressure of staying connected. Jay shares practical strategies for reclaiming your peace, especially in the crucial first moments of the day. From changing how we wake up to choosing when and how we consume news, he emphasizes building rituals that foster clarity rather than chaos. 

Jay explains the concept of love through the three key relationship types: the firework, the candle, and the mirror. He challenges the idea of “one soulmate,” suggesting instead that the people we attract reflect where we are in our own growth and emotional state. The conversation is filled with insight into how to find peace in your singlehood, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and create a life that naturally attracts meaningful connection.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

How to Start Meditating When You Feel Stuck

How to Use Breathwork to Calm Anxiety Instantly

How to Build a Tech-Free Morning Routine

How to Consume News Without Feeling Overwhelmed

How to Create Real Human Connection in a Digital World

Remember, peace shouldn't be something you have to chase—it’s something you can create, right here, right now.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
