Summary

We are so thrilled to welcome back to the show, Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author, award-winning storyteller, podcast host, and former monk, dedicated to helping people train their mind for peace and purpose every day. He recently released his second book, “8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go.” The truth is, nobody sits down and teaches us love—how to give and fully receive it. Oftentimes, our idea of romance is based on pop culture or movies, but love is nuanced and should be cherished and cultivated. All too often, people feel lonely (even when in a relationship) and lack the fundamental tools needed to make their partnerships last. That’s why in this episode, Jay and Krista go deep and talk about specific, actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love, so that you can better love yourself, others and the world around you. We also talk about: Why many people feel lonely in relationship Cultural expectations of love How social media and pop culture have perpetuated a false sense of love The difference between solitude and loneliness What love is not (Hint: attraction, attention seeking, validation and control) Defining love through three main components How to grow with your partner (even if you’re growing at a different pace) The varying roles in a relationship—”fixer,” “dependent,” and “supporter” Jay’s second book, 8 Rules of Love is available for purchase at 8RulesofLove.com and wherever books are sold!

0:00.0	Hello there. You are tuned in to almost 30 podcasts. A podcast that's been around for seven
0:15.9	years. We started during our transition from our 20s to our 30s, but it's become this
0:20.7	like crazy accurate metaphor for really any transition in your life. I'm Lindsay Simpsick.
0:26.6	This is Christa Williams. We are actually best friends in real life. It's true. Sometimes
0:32.4	when you got married people would be like, are you going? I'm like, yeah, I'm going.
0:36.2	I'm like, life with that. Imagine not liking each other and spending so much time together.
0:44.9	It would be impossible. Impossible. Be a nightmare. Yeah, we can't. I'm sure that happens more
0:49.9	often than not in public duos. Probably more so in like Hollywood sex, where it's like forced
0:57.6	upon you. They're like, you're redhead. You're a brunette. You're a duel. Yes. They're
1:03.2	like, you fit the stereotypes we're trying to fulfill for this boy band. Yes. Totally.
1:07.8	We're so grateful to have you here. Today's episode is with the one and only Jay Shetty,
1:13.2	who is truly the greatest there ever was. It was such a pleasure to sit down with Jay and
1:19.1	talk about his new book, Eight Rules of Love, How to Find, Love, Keep It and Let It Go. It
1:24.8	was our second time having him on the podcast. So definitely listen to the first episode.
1:28.8	If you haven't already, we also had his amazing wife on our show, which was truly such a joy.
1:34.3	We love Roddy. And I'm really excited to dig into relationships with Jay. Now, I love
1:39.9	Jay because he really walks his talk. You know, he has an incredibly big, expansive platform.
1:48.2	And every time he comes, and we've spent time with him, you know, he is just as grounded
1:54.3	as you think he is, just as kind, just as generous, and deeply doing the work himself in his
2:00.7	own relationship. And I just think it's, it's really, really special to not find that
2:05.8	like gap between what you're saying online or writing in a book and how you're living
2:10.6	your life. So I just, I love, I love being around him and being in his orbit and just
