Today, I sit down with Cynthia Erivo to talk about following your passion and having compassion for yourself. Cynthia explains why taking the first step is a key to achieving success, turning passion into personal growth and career success, and how to change your mindset when you start doubting yourself.
dealing with extreme emotions and pursuing your purpose. We discuss our freedom to pursue beliefs we want to support, how to approach meditation with maturity and incorporate it into our daily life, the crippling effects of spending too much time on social media, and how to turn outrage into manageable situations.

wow when she says she's not difficult but she requires what is needed for someone to get the best out of her. so relatable wow
She articulated so beautifully, what any of us go through when we REFUSE to settle...
This.
People love it when the world (others) asks something of us, after listening to this remarkable interview, I realize that must be true even for those, like Cynthia, who are highly self-actualized (so to speak 😽). Thanks Jay for such interesting & wonderful guests.
Please excuse comma splice 😻
😊😊
I legit ran a mile today because of this conversation. 5 minutes at a time. Thank you.
yay guys keep going!!
Cool
I wanted to but found the motivation to work on a project I have been putting of instead :D
Lol that's hecka funny in a good way🙏
Good for you! Breaking it down to smaller goals and you got the big one ❤❤❤❤ I’m proud of you!
Like the Japanese saying: Ikigai - finding the balance between what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs more of, and what you can get paid for ❤
May even be a tight wire... Especially when young, I think, as she says Each person has a unique journey...
💯
Not sure why 100 people liked this falsehood. Ikigai isn't a Japanese saying, it's a concept, and all it means is that people are inherently born with a destiny, or "Life's purpose".
Woah... Didn't know there was a saying so incredibly relatable to what I feel. Thanks for sharing this. 🙏✨
@@acetofresh1ikigai is literally a japanese translation of it lol
The biggest take away I got from this is to literally just take the next step. That's all you need to worry about, not the whole hill, just the next step 💗 thank you Cynthia & Jay
❤
love this tip. thank u
This comment is very helpful. And beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks for bringing me back to this by commenting 😊
💯❤️
Cynthia really helped me understand that protecting the feelings of others is actually my way of protecting myself. What a shift 🙌🏾
Her self-awareness and enthusiasm toward life is so refreshing! ❤😌✨
Correct! I love how passionate she is in everything she does.
She should have her own program like this on youtube. Her positivity and openness and warmth is so inviting
This conversation feels so good. Her tone, confidence, and warmth were felt through the screen.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
There were no meditations, just someone selling something.
I love Cynthia's confidence, especially because it doesn't come from a 'I'm the best' way, but from a kind, loving, and as she says open way. Loved this interview!
Cynthia I love you. I'm 21 and I've never exercised in my life. I watched this video at 5am and went outside and went running for the first time. it felt amazing and you've truly inspired me!
Thanks Jay for bringing great guests onto this podcast :)
I love her energy. Also, her voice is extremely soothing, makes me feel like I sense something very motherly and caring in it.
I've never been so excited about a guest before! This interview is pure bliss ❤️ The world needs more of Cynthia Erivo.
I concur. She seems like a beautiful human being and we definitely need more people like that in the world. To be love and grace all in one.
Too many ads! Gonna try the podcast.
agreed!
Without a DOUBT my favorite interview yet. I'm OBSESSED with Cynthia Erivo's way of thinking and loving and joy and trying new things and her advice on "just start"! I need to watch this every day.❤❤❤
Ya doesn't mean anything. There's so many people in the world good at so many thing your chance of making it is almost like hitting the lottery
I understand your feeling..
This inter view has this bright simple soft touch way who brings all necessary lift for the day. Humility is healing power , blessings to all..Salem from Paris Fr 🍓
@@KingdomCre8tiveyes and even when "not making it," it is for us to experience...
I love the way he introduces his guests, I think he makes them feel so welcome and comfortable and that’s why the conversations are always so impactful
💯 you are right. Be blessed ✨

Congratulations!!
How is everything going? 😊 Hope you are well!
Not only is she self aware, she see much detail about people and their body language. You can tell she loves understanding people and how they do what they do, so she can do what she does well!
I listen to this almost everyday... Cynthia's warmth reminds me not to give up on goodness in myself and others ❤
at some point in this episode I decided I'd do the same, watching it every day. There's so much light and hope here! feeling grateful to be blessed by this content
I knew Cynthia on her come up and her success has not changed her beautiful humility. She encouraged me to let my daughter move to LA and attend AADA, her advice changed us both, thank you beautiful, we stay cheering you on. Xxx
What is AADA?
@@KhiKhiDeDoesItAll The American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
For years I wanted to describe my Catholic experience and she said it for me "Restrictive and hard rules". It stunts your growth and creative expansion. I had to work hard to un-indoctrinate? myself from those dogmas spiritually, to become the best version of me. Thank you Cynthia❤
I was meaning to start my fitness journey again and after listening to this interview when she says one foot in front of the other, today is day 4 since I’ve started n I’m loving it!!
Congrats!! Keep going
Cool
I didn’t think I could love her more! She is incredibly articulate, joyful & intelligent. I love her infectious energy. What a special person! X
Trusting your intuition is EVERYTHING!
✨💥💜💥✨
Listening to her heals parts i didn’t realize where hurting at the same time opening locks in my mind ❤i loved every second of this.
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS LADY WARMTH, THEY WAY SHE SPEAKS IS JUST LIKE AN ANGEL DOES SPEAKS 😇
I wrote down so many little golden things from this interview. Just starting, finding joy, doing what feels good, speaking with love. All things we know but put so beautiful and just a great reminder and guide in the right direction again
She is sincerely the most beautiful human being on earth. Such a beautiful heart, full of love, life and openness. So peaceful and refreshing. And a world of knowledge and experience. Just beautiful ❤❤
20 minutes in, and her talking about just starting, not looking at the end goal reminds me so much of this book Atomic Habits. I absolutely love her energy and view on life and how to tackle things that may seem difficult! I’m going to just START. Keep going everyone ❤️
Thanks for sharing the book’s name
Great interview. What I've learnt from this interview is take chances on yourself, make the moves and risks. Believe in your institutions. Love Cynthia personality, she is the same as she is when I am met at school. Great to see her success and winning.
Her voice is so soothing. I loveeee Cynthia Erivo. Literally made my day to see her on my favorite podcast. What a treat! Thank you
Outstanding conversation!!! I love Cynthia Erivo she's my absolute favorite young ICON!!!!
I’m doing a presentation for my WOMS IN THEATRE class and I chose Cynthia Erivo to talk about then here comes this interview! Alignment. It’s due Friday! So glad I found this!
I hope your presentation went well! ❤
Bet it did, too...
You know she’s at peace and pure knowing and loving of life by her smile.
Peace passion and purpose come to mind when I hear her name Cynthia ERVO.
The love, the dedication, the focus and the discipline I have witnessed from this video has inspired me to truly live the life that I want.
This interview was so warm, she definitely reaffirmed me when she talked about "its best to start now" . Rather start now and at least you would've started. This goes with anything or any idea in life. I also agree with her that long distance running is more mental, I started awhile doing long distance running a while ago because of how mentally challenging it can test me. Great interview!
oh my Goodness she just explained the rythm of movement so beautifully.
WOW. This conversation is beyond words. So beautiful and enlightening.
I love her opening statement before the podcast begins.
Hearing Cynthia just made me feel like she's such a beautiful being. Her descriptions for all different things she does in her life is something to be admired and replicated in some way. Thank you 👏❤
What a beautifully down-to-Earth fully accomplished woman! Thank you dear Cynthia for sharing so many gems in such a humble way. Thank you Jay for creating this inspiring episode. 🥰
Dealing with the lost my of my Beautiful Spouse has really taught me to 'just start somewhere'!! Be thankful for the things I do accomplish. The next day, start again. Keep goin, ' keep pushin'🙌🏽Blessings🙏🏼
❤
Erivo is so underrated. The first time I watched her was on Harriet Tubman and I fell in love instantly
❤
I fell in love with her music. And she is so beautiful ♥️🔥🔥🔥
"Act/Speak from a place of Love not Fear"
Great Conversation. thank you!!!!
Love simply means value,the value you create and provide for nature's need for value.
And Fear is abscence of love/value/light.
Great interview ... Take the first step ... 💯
She is so talented. 😊 I love the depth of their conversation.
I feel FULL!!!!!!!!! Thank you for letting us get to know you. Blessings
Wow! Such a wise woman, I love the way she expresses herself with such a clam demeanor. She is intelligent and very passionate about what she does, you can tell that her career means more to her than just a paycheck. You’re such an inspiration Cynthia 💝🥰🌹
Always find a reason to smile.
the life its a present, this is th firts reason for smile
Weeeeуукууууувуууууукувкввуувузш
I absolutely agree!
Learning that it's the little things in life that counted was the catalyst to my entire self-improvement journey. Now, in my early 30s, I've never felt stronger. My confidence is nearly indestructible, my empathy has reached untold heights, my social skills have developed beyond belief. It's so easy to enjoy life when you learn to find joy in the little things. To constantly be healthy mentally.
I kept smiling all through. Cynthia is so wholesome. Glad she came on here. XO
This is the first episode I’ve watched that popped up on my feed and I have to say oh my goodness I love her! she is a natural born leader!
I love her attention as Jay talks impressive it shows how engaged she is in the conversation it's so beautiful in communication.she is like yeah......so cool
She’s so educated and enlightened ❤I am amazed. I wish I can have this much knowledge as she does.
Finding this episode feels like a blessing... The way Cynthia so beautifully put-- speaking from a place of love can change the entire narrative of a conversation, as well as what the person takes away from it. There are so many amazing opportunities at your fingertips but actually taking the first step to do something that is totally meant for you to experience because it feels GOOD has been he toughest. So just doing the things that actually make me feel good is a huge perspective change on the imposter syndrome, Thank you for this! An absolutely beautiful piece.
i can listen to them both for a day
The way she describes the aspect of movement is just breath taking
She is a beautiful human and an amazing woman ❤
Seriously listening to her is therapytic . Her smile her voice 👌
Best episode ever. Cynthia inspires me to be the best version of myself
❤
This is beautiful I was driving to a job interview when listening to this and I just kept thinking that it’s about the little experiences and even if I don’t get the job it’s not something for me. I got to hear this podcast that I could’ve listen to him as I was driving for a while. And also my grandmother was British and she always use the phrase just start so that hit me so close to home.❤
Even as a Londoner, Cynthia has a beautifully soothing voice & beautiful approach to life.
If she’s not a teacher already, she should teach in her field! She’s so convincing about her art. Great guest!
❤
Absolutely Beautiful! I didn't want it to end. Her voice is very much therapeutic.
Cynthia has great insights. She has a good mind, heart and spirit. No wonder she’s such a skilled talent.
I adore her energy!
This has resonated with me so much. Couldn't turn it off ❤
Finding joy in the small things so that when the big massive things come they are like a cherry on top 💯💯💯
By far, the very best I've heard...ever! Great interview.
Cynthia is an incredible performer, but even more she is something to behold as a person. This interview confirms that.❤
Truly emotional after listening ❤. Cynthia is love.
wow, her study of characters is mindblowing!
❤ her outlook, perspective, attitude, voice, everything about her. Great interview, one of my faves. Thank you, Jay, for the extra bit of joy this added to my day.
This was really uplifting to watch, so soothing and much of an eye opener. Cynthia radiated so much positive energy beaming with a wide spectrum of ideas one can think of and spark in their lives. WE ALL ARE TRYING OUR BEST, BABY STEPS WILL EVENTUALLY GET US THERE. S/O TO @JAYSHETTY for such a fruitful conversation and an amazing guest.
Harriett is such a great film... Loved it:) Cynthia you are amazing.
This is one of the best interviews I've seen on your channel Jay, Cynthia feels like an amazing human being. Thank you both.
Cynthia is a amazing actress and singer! Enjoy all her work.
This was such a warm, awesome conversation. I felt like I was a part of it. I resonated so much with a lot of the things she spoke about. I genuinely feel good LOL. Love her self awareness, its beautiful to see ❤ Pure Bliss
Thanks for allowing me to be here to listen and learn...thank you for helping.❤
I am soooo excited to see her as the live action Elphaba! She’s so poised and such a confidence role model
I saw her in Harriet and I was blown away. What a great movie and acting.
This blessed my soul, your calming spirit with hers was So beautiful. I want to start finding JOY in everything.
This was such an amazing interview and it came in at the right time. I really loved when she said: “I want to understand you, so that you can understand me.”
As opposed to wanting to win an argument.
CYNTHIA is living in the MOMENT. We can all learn from Cynthia 💗
She exudes such beautiful energy!
A must see performer.
She is so different, authentic and awesome human being. Thank you for your wisdom Cynthia ❤
❤
Cynthia is such a beautiful soul.
The highlight for me was when she talked about not putting all your focus on the goal, but also focussing on every step that leads you to your goal.
The way she talks about the impact of the little things and love is absolutely thrilling. Great great interview 👏❤️❤️❤️
She is an absolute gem… and so is shay. She is such a unique soul… definitely took an amazing message from this video. For that I am grateful. Thank you Jay Shetty!!!!! Keep doing what you do
Genuinely listen to yourself and not be too afraid of it being wrong. This is 🔥.
The vibration was so high 💜 very spiritual and comforting. My takeaway is that I am valuable and so are my experiences.
46:30 as someone who just came across a rejec....REDIRECTION, hearing her words 46:30 here made me feel so much better.
I also I liked this podcast.
Jay and Cynthia, thank you for coming together and bringing this beautiful message to the world. The words has so much depth and knowledge and substance to them that will stay with me for a lifetime. With Cynthia’s unwavering faith in herself and abilities, I feel like I can accomplish absolutely anything. I needed to hear this today ❤️
I also needed to hear. Wonderful real life content♥️
You're the person that's supposed to experience it because your experience is valuable.... this is good... sooo good!! Thank you! ❤️
She is just brilliant
I just love her inspiration and drive to pursue. The British accent is one of my favorites (then Spanish, Nigerian, and Caribbean)
There's something about how she sounds that's so comforting
She is absolutely brilliant in everything that I've ever seen her in. Her talents are so broad, nothing she can/will do would surprise me. She has a singing voice that is second to none. I love her talent and acting chops, she is definitely a "STAR" to watch, there's NOTHING she can't do and have you mesmerized. She's simply FANTASTIC!
