How would your life change if your healing reshaped not just your body, but your entire way of being?
What if the real change wasn’t about losing anything—but about gaining a deeper connection to yourself?
In this deeply vulnerable episode, global superstar Lizzo sits down with Jay for an unfiltered conversation about loss, boundaries, transformation, and what it really feels like living in the spotlight. Lizzo shares how her loyalty to friends and her habit of seeing the good in everyone sometimes came at the cost of her own peace.
She shares what happened when she finally stopped chasing relationships that no longer served her—and how distance gave her clarity on who was truly in her corner. Lizzo opens up about the pain of letting people go, the reality of feeling isolated, and the music that came out of her lowest moments.
Lizzo dives deep into how the recent public scandal impacted her—and why she’s now more intentional than ever with her words, her energy, and her healing. Lizzo opens up about the responsibility of being a public figure, how her weight release journey evolved into a powerful personal transformation, and why she’s chosen to let go of toxic energy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to Let Go of One-Sided Relationships
Why Some People Disappear When You Set Boundaries
How to Honor Your Emotions Without Editing Them
How Your Energy Shapes What You Attract
How Love Without Drama Becomes a Flow State
What It Means to Grow Apart Without Guilt
Why Intentional Healing Starts With Self-Awareness
Lizzo’s transformation is a reminder that you can still believe in people—and protect yourself. You can evolve—and still be soft. And you can face the hardest season of your life—and still come back to love.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
