HILARY DUFF: The Human Behind the Headlines (Her Most Honest Chapter Yet)
Descripción del Episodio
Today, Jay sits down with cultural icon Hilary Duff for a raw and honest conversation about growth, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to evolve in public. Having grown up alongside an entire generation, Hilary reflects on what it means to return to music after more than a decade with her sixth studio album, Luck or Something. She opens up about shedding politeness in favor of truth, embracing maturity without losing the joy of her past, and finally feeling rooted in who she is, not just as an artist, but as a woman, a mother, a partner, and a daughter.
Jay and Hilary explore the hidden weight of fame, the loss of anonymity at a young age, and the resilience required to stay grounded in an industry that constantly defines you before you can define yourself. Hilary speaks vulnerably about navigating eating disorders, divorce, co-parenting, estrangement with family, and the reality of loving people through complicated relationships. Through it all, she shares how motherhood reshaped her priorities, how love taught her to accept stability over chaos, and how creativity became a necessary way of reconnecting with herself. Hilary’s reflections reveal a powerful truth: what the world often calls luck is usually years of quiet strength, hard choices, and inner work.
In this interview, you'll learn:
How to Trust Your Intuition Over “Luck”
How to Grow Without Rejecting Your Past
How to Accept Healthy Love (Even When It Feels Unfamiliar)
How to Break Family Patterns Without Losing Compassion
How to Balance Motherhood and Personal Ambition
How to Hold Joy and Pain at the Same Time
How to Reinvent Yourself Without Losing Who You Are
You are allowed to choose steadiness over chaos, truth over politeness, and peace over performance. Growth isn’t always loud, sometimes it’s simply deciding you don’t want to repeat the same pattern again.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Blunt Force Trauma
By shows
Blunt Force Trauma is a new serialised investigation into the unsolved murder of Faithe Ely, from EchoSpace and host Troy Taylor (from award winning podcast Among The Missing). On March 28, 2021, Faith Ely was found lifeless on the side of a dark Oklahoma highway, her death quickly being ruled a hit and run. But the evidence doesn’t line up. The injuries don’t tell a clear story. And the more you dig, the harder it becomes to make sense of the official narrative. What should be a straightforward accident begins to feel anything but…
