In '8 Rules of Love', Jay Shetty provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the complexities of love and relationships. Drawing from ancient Vedic wisdom and modern science, Shetty outlines eight rules to help readers cultivate love in all its forms. The book is structured around four stages of love: solitude (preparing for love), compatibility (practicing love), healing (protecting love), and connection (perfecting love). Shetty emphasizes the importance of self-love, compassion, empathy, and growth in relationships, and offers practical advice on how to avoid false promises and unfulfilling partners. The book includes insights on defining love, managing conflicts, and dealing with breakups, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their understanding and practice of love.

Today, I sit down with Meghan Trainor, an award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist that has garnered a GRAMMY for Best New Artist, achieved eight multi-platinum singles and two platinum albums, sold out three world tours, penned multi-platinum hits for peers across pop and country, received countless industry awards and nominations, and has recently started her own podcast with her brother Ryan Trainor entitled Workin’ On It, while also becoming a TikTok star. She has just released her new single “Bad For Me,” featuring Teddy Swims, and has announced her fourth full-length album, Takin’ It Back, arriving October 21st, 2022, via Epic Records.
Meghan shares what her childhood was like growing up on a small community island, her passion for song writing and how having supportive parents helped her get recognition for her talent and eventually led to releasing her debut song, All About That Bass. We talk about how being authentic and just showing up as yourself online and in real life will make people appreciate you more, why appreciating the body you have is the best way to love yourself, the crippling panic attacks that were overcome by asking for help and working with the right people, and how she has found love with a man who accepted her flaws and sees her true value.
Meghan shows us how our life may be built within a bubble and still find the courage to dream big, break free from any limitations, and find success in doing things we are passionate about.
