1
What do you think is the hardest thing you're working on right now?
Bạn nghĩ điều khó khăn nhất mà bạn đang giải quyết hiện tại là gì?
2
Like what's the most challenging thing you're working on internally or externally?
Vậy thì điều gì là thách thức nhất mà bạn đang giải quyết, dù là ở nội bộ hay bên ngoài?
3
Could be creatively, it could be habit -wise.
Đó có thể là về mặt sáng tạo, cũng có thể là về thói quen.
4
What is something that you're struggling with or grappling with that you're working through?
5
Happiness.
6
Wow, okay.
7
Yeah, happiness.
8
It's interesting.
9
I was getting ready to come over here this morning.
10
And so my daughter goes to school here at the Thornton School for music.
11
She's a senior, and she spent the night with me last night.
12
I'm going to tell you the story because it's relevant about both learning things the hard way and about happiness.
13
So she slept in my bed with me last night, and it was so awesome.
14
And I just love her, and she's 22, and she's about to, like, burst into the next chapter of her life.
15
It is so exciting.
16
And I miss her terribly, terribly. And I, oh, I'm going to get like totally choked up
17
when I think about it because I live on the other side of the country.
18
And I think one of the hardest things
19
that you have to do in life if you really love somebody is to encourage them to leave, to encourage them to grow.
20
And I can't believe how choked up I'm getting about this because,
21
I mean, this just happened this morning and I was laying in bed and she's sound asleep, you know, like sprawled out,
22
like those 22 year old sleep and sweating and just like this.
23
And I thought, Oh, I want to take a picture of this moment.
24
And then I thought, no, she's going to kill me because she looks terrible.
25
And you know how that rolls when you're 20 years old.
26
And so I closed my eyes to just capture the memory.
27
And I thought, why is it that I am always gripping onto the thing that makes me unhappy.
28
What is it about this campaign?
29
I call it the campaign of misery.
30
Like instead of focusing on the fact that here I am, first of all,
31
lucky enough to be in Los Angeles to be able to have the means to go see her for Parents Weekend,
32
that I have a relationship with her where she would want to come and just snuggle up and spend the night,
33
that she is pursuing her passion and dream of being a singer -songwriter, that she is just killing it.
34
She's happy.
35
Why am I always defaulting to the loss?
36
And so when I say that I'm working on happiness, what I've realized about myself,
37
Jay, is that I have done a lot of things in life,
38
but I've spent the vast majority of my life being so busy and keeping myself so busy as a means to outrun,
39
I think, a deep -seated unhappiness.
40
And that when the pandemic hit and I had to slow down and I had to truly say to myself, okay, you can't go anywhere.
41
You cannot regulate your anxiety by running to Target.
42
You can't catch a plane.
43
Like, it's you and your, like, you and yourself right now, Mel and all the coping mechanisms
44
that you used to have that distracted you from the fact that you're just not that happy, they're not there anymore.
45
And unless I want to drink myself into the ground, which I don't, and numb it, or hit the vape pen or take a gun,
46
like, unless I want to numb it, I got to deal with it.
47
And so I've spent the last two years
48
and I continue to focus right now on the number one goal that I have,
49
which is to learn how to be happy and content content wherever I am.
50
And so this morning is the perfect example of catching this profound sadness, which is part of the human experience.
51
Deeply missing somebody is also about loving them, right?
52
And noticing that I was going into the negative.
53
And part of being content and being happy wherever I am is not trying to fix things.
54
It's being okay with things.
55
It's allowing the emotion to rise up and then noticing that there's a different way to feel.
56
And so in that moment, I just am doing what I'm doing a lot of, which is just breathing through those deep moments where I'm like,
57
why am I complaining about this?
58
It's so stupid.
59
Why am I obsessing about this thing tomorrow?
60
And I'm not even here right now.
61
And reframing things in a more positive way.
62
And this might surprise people because I am a very positive person.
63
I am a very optimistic person.
64
But when I really slow down, my mind runs a million miles an hour and normally it's 15 steps ahead,
65
which means I'm never content where I am.
66
And so I've been doing a ton of work like in my nervous system,
67
in my body, instead of going right up here and trying to wrestle with my thoughts, I've been going down into here to just.
68
anchor in my body and slow things down and be physically where I am, where my feet are.
69
And so then there was a second thing that happened.
70
So again, I'm working on happiness.
71
That's the thing I'm really like working on.
72
It's like a muscle, right?
73
I'm in the bathroom and I am terrible at doing my hair.
74
I know it looks really decent today, but normally I look like a fricking labradoodle on a humid day.
75
Like that's just me.
76
I just have never figured out the hair situation.
77
And so I finally said, that's it.
78
I have got to figure out how to make my hair look halfway okay.
79
Like I'm not even looking for amazing.
80
I'm just looking for okay.
81
And so I was watching YouTube.
82
I'm learning the tutorials.
83
I've got the right sprays.
84
And so Kendall comes rolling in after she wakes up and I am sitting there trying to curl my hair, right?
85
With this big fat curling.
86
I'm terrible at it, Jay.
87
And all of a sudden I hit my freaking ear and I'm like, oh, and I'm like, oh my God, I've just burned my ear.
88
And Kendall casually goes, well, you got to learn somehow.
89
And she walks out of the room.
90
I think there is so much wisdom in that because that is how you learn.
91
That is how you learn how close to hold a curling iron to your ear.
92
You burn yourself.
93
And then your whole body absorbs the lesson and you don't go that close to the fire next time.
94
And I'm doing that dance with happiness and contentment that
95
when I feel the fire of discontent or friction or complaining or looking for what's wrong,
96
I pull the curling iron a little away from the ear and I go back into a safer, calmer place.
97
That was a beautiful answer.
98
I didn't know what to expect when I asked that question.
99
I really appreciate you you know going that inward with it because you could have gone a number of ways i
100
i fully understand and empathize what you're saying because my mom
101
and my family do something similar so
102
and i love my mom i have a great relation with my mom she's amazing
103
and anything that's good about me is because of her
104
but every time i go back to london the day
105
i land my family will say well you're only here for 21 days
106
i'm like 21 days like that's three weeks even
107
if you added up all the hours weekly
108
that you spend with time with someone it probably won't account for right 21 full days yeah with full presence
109
and then a week will go
110
and be like oh you've only got 40 14 days left
111
or you've only got seven days left or you're leaving today
112
and and that mindset just keeps forcing you to think that day 21 is day one,
113
as in that day 21 days left is the same as one day left.
114
And you're living all 21 days as there's only one day left.
115
And I've taken time and I've sat with my mom so many times to have that conversation with her.
116
And I said, mom, if you celebrate that we have 21 days, we're going to make the most of it.
117
And we're going to create new memories and create new experiences, then you're going to be happier for these 21 days.
118
And yes, you're going to miss me the same.
119
It's not going to change that.
120
And I'm going to miss you.
121
So I have personal experience of that on the other end of it with having that conversation with my mom,
122
where she's really grown in understanding how that thought hasn't served her.
123
And she's so much happier for it now when I go back.
124
So I definitely identify with that.
125
What you touched on at the end there, though, was really interesting to me.
126
When you talk about happiness, it sounds like you believe you deserve it
127
and you sound like you believe
128
it's yours for the taking like it's like it is a clear goal direction it's there yeah
129
and i think what's happened is subconsciously or consciously
130
so many of us don't feel we deserve happiness
131
or we don't feel we're worthy of happiness
132
or we actually think mediocrity is a safer place to live
133
because then we don't have our expectations being unmet we don't have the fall of i wanted this
134
but i got this right and
135
so i've been i had a friend the other day who sent me a message
136
and he said take a look at this
137
and it was all about how really we shouldn't strive for happiness we should strive for mediocrity
138
because mediocrity is where most people will end up so
139
that was literally this is the message
140
so my friend messaged me he goes what do you think of this i think
141
it sucks that's right i think it's worst advice I've ever freaking heard.
142
How about that?
143
It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
144
Here's the thing, Jay.
145
So one of the things I also wanted to say is
146
that I'm 54 and it's taken me a long time to figure out that I was actually not a happy person.
147
And I don't think I, I really, truly understood what happiness is.
148
And maybe I'm using the wrong word.
149
Maybe the word is the problem because I always associated happiness with like parties and laughter and like, I'm just like full of joy.
150
And I'm, and I just, you know, it's like this very positive thing.
151
And again, I am a positive person.
152
I'm a very optimistic person.
153
But if you were to put a speaker on my head and broadcast the things I said to myself,
154
you would literally check me in to the seventh floor at Mass General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts because it was a constant drumbeat of negativity.
155
And as I, one by one by one, Jay, started to fix the problems in my marriage and my finances,
156
with my anxiety, as I built a business, you know, a lot of people are surprised to learn
157
that most of what you see that I've built has been built in the last six years, literally.
158
And so I, as I started fixing things outside,
159
that default drumbeat did not go away.
160
It just was a situation where I no longer had anything outside of me that was rationally wrong.
161
So I turned it back on me and just started hammering me in crazy ways.
162
I'll give you an example.
163
So this is where I started to have this breakthrough.
164
So I was sitting, my husband and I have just bought a house in Vermont.
165
And I know you guys, you know, are in your new home.
166
It's an incredible thing to do.
167
It is our dream house.
168
It's the house that his parents built.
169
It's the family house.
170
We not only were able to purchase this thing, we have been able to completely renovate it, make it our own.
171
This place is the closest place to God that I have ever been.
172
We sit nestled between mountains with 140 -mile view straight down a valley with cascading.
173
Like, it is just spectacular.
174
When I would sit in therapy sessions eight years ago and my therapist would ask me to come up with like a,
175
you know, like a totem or a spiritual guide or a vision, whatever, for truth or God or whatever, it's always this view.
176
And so lo and behold, eight years later, we freaking live there.
177
And I'm sitting on this covered deck looking down the valley.
178
My daughter is sitting next to me, her other daughter who lives in Boston, who's 23.
179
And it's Sunday.
180
And normally on Sundays, I'm not even present on Sundays because I've now got the Sunday scaries.
181
I'm now thinking about the week ahead.
182
She is starting to now do that.
183
Okay, I got to get going.
184
I got to pack the car.
185
I got to get going.
186
I got a big week of work this week.
187
And it's 7 .30 in the morning on a spectacular day, and the energy is starting.
188
And I recognize the energy because that is the campaign of misery that I have lived with for 50 years.
189
And I'm sitting there, and I'm thinking, oh, this is interesting.
190
That's me.
191
And then I stopped in that moment, Jay, and I thought, I don't feel that right now.
192
I just feel that exactly where I am,
193
looking at this view, is exactly where I'm supposed to be.
194
And it was so profound.
195
It's almost like that moment where Eckhart Tolle has on the bench in the beginning of The Power of Now,
196
where I have this profound experience where I think, wait a minute, is this what happiness is?
197
that I'm not 15 steps ahead.
198
I'm just able to be right here without the anxiety, without the stress.
199
I mean, that is like a revolutionary experience for me.
200
I don't think I had ever not felt the default of a revved up nervous system,
201
an anxious mind, or a to -do list that was a mile long.
202
And I don't want to go back to that sort of frenetic busyness that creates chronic stress.
203
And, you know, the challenge for me right now is how do I stay in a space that's happy
204
because I love the game of building a business.
205
I love pushing myself.
206
I love, like, and I realized, oh, wait, you actually need both.
207
You need deep, spiritual, quiet time, and you need the busyness of Los Angeles or Boston
208
or New York in small sprints but that can't be your default anymore woman
209
and that's a that's such a great realization and reflection i think
210
when you come to that and it it takes a lot of self -acceptance to come to that because
211
I think we think of life as binary, like you have to make a choice.
212
You're either going to be a hustler or you're going to be peaceful.
213
You're either going to be a winner or you're going to be a loser.
214
You're either going to be wisdom and zen or you're going to be money and materialistic, right?
215
And it's almost like you feel you have to make those choices early in life.
216
And I think when you came in here, we were talking about something and I really,
217
really think it's something that a lot of our listeners will resonate with the idea that so many of us
218
experience pain of not going after what we want or what we need or what we feel is our calling
219
because of the pain that comes with that yeah and
220
so we settle for the pain of where we are yeah
221
and i think those two ideas are related
222
because again we think there's this choice
223
you have to make at any point in time where it's
224
like i'm either going to live the life of my dreams
225
or i'm going to be stuck forever
226
and then we're like okay well i'll be stuck forever
227
because my dreams seem so far away i remember being there
228
and it's always hard to help everyone who's listening realize how much i felt that way
229
so how old were you i this was six years ago for me oh my god
230
that's right you like have this crazy parallel yeah six years ago
231
so six years ago
232
i was working a safe corporate job six months from now i was about to be married to radhi
233
and i was making
234
31 500 pounds a year and that was my salary at this company
235
and i was doing extremely well at the company
236
so i had a good track to to progress there
237
and i'm sitting there going i've been there for two years
238
and I'm like I don't think
239
this is where I'm meant to be I was looking at people who'd been at the company for decades
240
I was I've always said to people look 10 20 years ahead of you
241
and look at that person in the company and go is
242
that where I want to be and I was like well even
243
if they paid me as much as that person's paid even if I got all the benefits that person got
244
I don't think I want to do that in my 50s
245
and so I thought to myself okay well then I have to take a risk.
246
So, and obviously that was like a two -year journey of even convincing myself.
247
Let's talk about that.
248
If someone's sitting there right now, passionate about something, wanting to get inspired,
249
wanting to do something, but they're settling for the pain of where they are.
250
And that's why I asked that mediocrity and happiness question.
251
Yeah.
252
It is really that dance between I'm going to settle for where I'm at, or I'm going to be where I want to be.
253
How do you think about that journey?
254
How do you start?
255
You know what just popped into my mind, in a weird way, cancer.
256
If you got diagnosed with a cancer that was treatable, would you try to treat your cancer?
257
Yes.
258
Of course you would, because otherwise it would kill you.
259
When you feel this call or this burning desire, and I feel like we all have this flame inside of us.
260
We are not like a boiler where the pilot light can blow out.
261
That is not how a human being is wired.
262
You, whether you're stuck, whether you're in pain, whether you're suffering, you still have this flame inside you that is burning.
263
And when you actively engage in your own campaign of misery,
264
and you actively tell yourself the reasons why it's not going to work, or the reasons why you can't do it,
265
or the reasons why now is not the time, or you're never going to make it happen,
266
or it was great for Jay or great for Mel, but nothing ever works out for me.
267
When you engage in your own campaign of misery, you are creating literally a cancer inside of you that eats at you.
268
And we don't realize that by engaging in this campaign of misery,
269
because it's active, that flame is burning inside you and you are actively convincing yourself not to do anything.
270
It is an active, engaged, and that's why I call it a campaign, because that flame is going to keep on burning,
271
which is why the campaign has to get louder and the excuses have to get louder.
272
And you know what starts to happen is you start to listen to
273
that campaign and you start to feel pain because there's something burning inside of you.
274
And the only cure for this is to stop listening to that campaign and simply start taking small steps,
275
just one every day toward the thing that you want.
276
I talk to my daughter about this all the time.
277
So she dreams, absolutely dreams of being a singer songwriter,
278
solo artist with a successful career, literally stadium tours.
279
And if I'm being perfectly honest, this kid has all of the talent and all of that,
280
like she's one of those five tool players and she is a great person.
281
kind and just awesome.
282
And she's even in a program for it, the best in the country.
283
She has everything.
284
She just has to do the work.
285
What is the work?
286
Well, the work is simply writing crappy songs every day.
287
The work is not listening to the campaign of misery, because all around you, you're going to see evidence of this person's better,
288
or that person this, or this one's that, Uh -uh.
289
When you listen to that campaign in your head, it is like a cancer inside.
290
It causes pain because you can feel when you are giving up on your own potential.
291
And that is the worst kind of life to live.
292
You are either in the stands commenting about the game or you're on the court playing it.
293
And right now, I want you to think about that flame inside you, that dream that you have.
294
And I'm going to go back to my daughter who is on the court, but she will be the first to say that for many years,
295
she was engaged in her own campaign of misery, sitting in the stands, telling herself why she can't get on the court right now.
296
And so I like that visual because at any moment, it literally like cuts right to the truth.
297
Are you in the stands criticizing who the people who are playing the game
298
or being jealous of them or in the stands telling yourself it's not time to jump in?
299
Or are you on the freaking court?
300
There's only two places to be in life.
301
That's it.
302
There is no middle ground here.
303
And so what I want to say also is that being in the stands, it is loud.
304
It is an active thing that you're doing.
305
This is not a passive thing that we do to ourselves.
306
We actively argue against our dream and our potential.
307
And that is a thousand percent tied to your happiness, to your confidence.
308
Because if you are arguing against your own God -given potential, you are actively destroying your confidence.
309
You're actively destroying possibility in your life.
310
And here's the thing, you freaking know it.
311
People know when they have imposter syndrome.
312
They know it.
313
They talk about it openly.
314
And I also hate the term fake it till you make it.
315
And here's why.
316
When you say, I'm just going to fake it till you make it, you are calling yourself a fake.
317
It amplifies your self -doubt.
318
Instead, say this, I'm going to get on the court and try until I make it.
319
Because the pain of sitting in the stands and never getting down there is way greater than tripping on the court.
320
Way greater.
321
And this is the thing I want people to understand.
322
You are causing yourself so much pain by laughing off and making jokes about how it's never going to happen.
323
You're causing yourself so much pain by thinking about it.
324
Get out of the freaking stands and get back on the court in your life.

- Âm “th”: worthy /ˈwɝ.ði/, breathe /bɹiːð/, seventh /ˈsɛvənθ/, therapist /ˈθɛɹəpɪst/, breakthrough /ˈbɹeɪk.θɹuː/
- Âm “sh” và “zh”: passion /ˈpæʃən/, capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, relation /ɹɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, reflection /ɹɪˈflɛkʃən/
- Từ dài — đặt trọng âm cho đúng: anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, spectacular /spɛkˈtæk.jə.lɚ/, optimistic /ˌɒptɪˈmɪstɪk/, mechanism /ˈmɛk.ə.nɪ.zəm/, revolutionary /ˌɹɛvəˈluʃənɛɹi/

- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: engage /ɪnˈɡeɪd͡ʒ/, encourage /ɪnˈkʌɹ.ɪd͡ʒ/, spiritual /ˈspɪɹɪt͡ʃuəl/, choke /t͡ʃoʊk/, bench /ˈbɛnt͡ʃ/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, actively /ˈæktɪvli/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, spectacular /spɛkˈtæk.jə.lɚ/, vast /væst/

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
