What’s one goal you want to manifest in 2025?

What small step can you take today toward your goal?

Today, Jay dives into the mindset and practices needed to manifest the life you truly desire in 2025. Picking up where last week’s strategies and habits left off, Jay explores the often-overlooked internal components of goal achievement—your mindset, subconscious programming, and visualization techniques.

He begins by redefining the idea of manifestation, emphasizing the importance of understanding the deeper emotional drivers behind your goals. Whether it's confidence, safety, or self-esteem, Jay explains how aligning with these core desires rather than just material outcomes can unlock true abundance.

Jay also shares actionable steps for cultivating a manifestation mindset, starting with mastering those subconscious moments just before sleep and upon waking. By integrating affirmations during these times, you can rewire your thought patterns and reinforce your intentions. He introduces the “Rule of Your Most Repeated Thought,” explaining how consistent positive affirmations shape your reality over time.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to Rewire Your Mind with Affirmations

How to Visualize the Process, Not Just the Outcome

How to Align Your Energy with Your Goals

How to Avoid Distractions and Stay Focused on Your Target

How to Surround Yourself with Positive Reinforcements

You have everything you need to build the life you envision; it starts with belief and is fueled by consistent effort. Stay focused, stay inspired, and trust in the process—because the life you’re dreaming of is already waiting for you. Keep moving forward; you’ve got this!

With Love and Gratitude,

Have you ever let someone just be themselves?

How do you remind yourself what’s in your control?

Today, Jay sits down with best-selling author and motivational speaker Mel Robbins to discuss her revolutionary “Let Them Theory.” Mel introduces a powerful mindset tool designed to help listeners take control of their thoughts, actions, and emotions while letting go of what they cannot control. This conversation dives into the heart of personal growth, resilience, and building a life centered on peace and purpose.

Mel begins by explaining the core of the “Let Them Theory,” which is about recognizing the limits of control. She emphasizes the importance of letting others be who they are, accepting situations as they unfold, and redirecting focus to what’s within your power. Through vivid examples, Mel demonstrates how this approach can reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and reclaim wasted energy.

Jay and Mel also explore the emotional weight of unmet expectations and the difference between “Let It Go” and “Let Them.” Mel shares how this subtle shift in mindset fosters empowerment rather than passivity. They also discuss the complexities of adult friendships and how they evolve over time. Mel introduces the three pillars of adult friendship—proximity, timing, and energy—and explains how these factors influence the ebb and flow of connections.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Identify What You Can Control

How to Handle Stressful Situations at Work

How to Set Boundaries with Difficult People

How to Let Go of Unmet Expectations

How to Manage Toxic Relationships Effectively

Remember, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Start small. Say "let them" to release what’s draining you and "let me" to reclaim your energy and choices.
