Intro
- KKKim Kardashian
Wait a minute, I'm trying to make everyone happy. I'm doing all this stuff for everyone else but myself. Let me just, like, pull back a second, focus on myself, and then it seemed like everyone else was happier.
- JSJay Shetty
The bestselling author and host.
- KKKim Kardashian
The number one health and wellness podcast.
- JSJay Shetty
On Purpose with Jay Shetty.
- JSJay Shetty
When was the last time you went somewhere where someone didn't know who you were? Or actually, was there a moment where someone said to you, "Who are you? What do you do?" Like, when was the last time you had an interaction like that?
- KKKim Kardashian
You know what? In Japan, it's like that. You know, everyone's really respectful. Even if they might recognize you, they don't ask for photos, and it's a really amazing experience. I think it's important, you know, just to ... Listen, I love my life. I love everything that comes along with it. I am not complaining. But, um, a little glimpse of that, I think especially for the little ones, is so good.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. No, that's, that's, that's definitely a beautiful experience. I think it's nice for everyone to feel wanted and loved and then also feel unseen.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
Like, we, we almost crave both of those.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
I was thinking about it today. You're always surrounded by film crews and, you know, you have, like, 352 million people that follow you on Instagram. I wonder, do you ever ... Do you prioritize time alone? Do you get time alone, and what does that look like?
- KKKim Kardashian
I do. I get up really early. My morning workout really is my ... I don't want to say therapy session 'cause it's not like I'm really communicating things, but even if I'm quiet and I'm in my zone, that's my mental health check every morning. I love my workout. It keeps me sane. I can't say that enough. That's my time in the morning. Then as soon as everyone starts to get up for school, the madness happens, and it's about two hours of madness from getting four kids ready in the morning, fed, out the door, on to school. I drop off school every day. And then I have a little bit of time, I'd say about 20 minutes, driving back where I just blast my music. I don't take any calls. That's my alone time. I love it. And then I get to the house, and I start my full workday, and I'm committed and focused. And then the madness of bath time, bedtime, dinner time, and once four babies are asleep, and I just cherish that time at night when everyone's asleep and I can watch whatever show I want and just have some alone time. So I do take the time for myself. I think it's really important.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, absolutely. You, you said something beautiful before we started recording, and I, I definitely want to go in that direction because you were talking about the different platforms and how you can show different parts of yourself, but you came here because there was something specific.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And I'd love to hear that because I want to go in that direction with you.
- KKKim Kardashian
I love your podcast. I've seen it, and I've seen ... I think I just love seeing the, the reels that pop up with just a quick message that'll get you through the day, that'll remind you who you are, remind you what you need to come across and see at that moment in that day, and carry you through the day.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
So I think it's important for people to express, like, how they feel and who they are a little bit deeper and what's in their heart, and I think that's kind of what this podcast is about.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. And I think ... Thank you for trusting me. I, I really do value that.
- KKKim Kardashian
Of course.
- JSJay Shetty
And I don't take it for granted. Uh, but the interesting thing there is I feel like there's a beautiful statement in Japanese culture says that we have three faces. One face we show to the world. The second face we show to our friends and family, and the third face no one sees.
- KKKim Kardashian
Hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
And I wonder when you're talking about your values and who you are, what's the part of you that you think no one gets to see in all these other places that you want to share today?
- KKKim Kardashian
Hmm. I definitely think I show all my faces, but I do think that people pick and choose what they
- 3:55 – 5:02
When was the last time someone didn’t recognize you?
- KKKim Kardashian
want to take from you. I do share journeys of mine that have been challenges, whether it's, like, law school and different projects and how starting a business and all of that. I, I definitely weave that in throughout, but I think that any time you have the opportunity to express yourself in a more meaningful way, I think it's always a good thing to do, especially since I'm just a big fan of you and what you represent and who you are. So I always love to share my tips and anything that I've learned along the way 'cause God knows it is not easy.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
Like, parenting is so hard. Family dynamics, relationships, it is so hard.
- JSJay Shetty
It's really interesting you say that because when I was speaking to your mom, she was saying that about you. She was saying that you're the person that for anyone in your family, no matter how busy you are, you'll go completely out of your way. She was telling me about a particular incident, but she was just saying that you will just dive in, book everyone-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... on the flight, get everyone there, get to that person-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... help them, support them. And,
- 5:02 – 7:22
How often do you take a mental health check and have some time alone?
- JSJay Shetty
and even when it's someone who's not directly connected to you but is-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... indirectly connected-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... and I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
But the idea of just you, you'll reach that far out. And when I was hearing that about you from her, I was thinking that that takes so much compassion and care from your side.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And those are not two words that on some of the other platforms that people may-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... hear about you, but, but that's what I'm getting talking to your mother about you. And I wonder how have you ... I feel family is the cause for so much stress for people. It's the cause for so much anxiety for people, and as you said, it's hard. How have you continued to lean in to compassion and care even when it's easier to compare and criticize and complain?
- KKKim Kardashian
Well, with family, I mean, I was always raised, like, no matter what, blood is thicker than water. There's no other options. So we definitely go through our things as sisters. There's no other options, like we will work it out, like we are family. We are sisters. We will figure it out. And I think you just have to ... I think also more compassion comes with age-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... and the more things that you've been through, and especially I think my heart has opened up so much in that space just spending time even with people Behind bars that I'm fighting for and I might not have even had the slightest idea of what someone's gone through or even understood taking the time to listen to people more than maybe speaking and making it about yourself. And my compassion has just grown and my empathy has grown on another level. You can't really judge people for their pace on when they choose to really want to dig deep into their own compassion and empathy and when people choose to grow and evolve. But it's so nice to have people that support that journey and grow with you because once you realize that this life really isn't about you and it's about helping as many people as you can, all these, like, doors open up for you and your mind just opens up and it's a really great place to be when you feel like you have enough, when you would chase things for so long. And when you just feel content,
- 7:22 – 9:38
How do you manage a life in public with different personas?
- KKKim Kardashian
it's such a good place to be and it's such an, like, allows for so much more compassion.
- JSJay Shetty
I think, and I want everyone to go back and listen to that part, I feel like you just beautifully defined compassion and I'm gonna try and reiterate-
- KKKim Kardashian
Decode it [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
... what you just said. Yeah, it was just, it was so well said because I think people think about compassion as care and you just defined it by pace.
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
And I think when you're patient for the pace at which people grow-
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm
- JSJay Shetty
... and evolve-
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm
- JSJay Shetty
... that actually is compassion.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah. There's nothing worse when someone is, like, so woke and they've, they're on this therapy journey and they expect you to be right there with them. But it's a beautiful thing to sit back and watch people make mistakes, learn from their mistakes, grow and evolve, and just be there to hold their hand-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... and support them. I think that's what anyone would want. I've seen so many people on these, like, self-help journeys that just aren't as happy, you know? And I think you just have to, like, sit back and do what works for you and move at your own pace and understand that it's okay that you're not at the same level as someone else.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
I mean, I'm just such a b- like, everything happens the way it's supposed to. I love just people in their own journeys and I, I never try to be so preachy or to think that someone has to be in my place and at the level where I've evolved to. It's great when your friends have the same kind of epiphanies as you and you want the same things-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... but then sometimes it's just not like that.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Yeah, definitely. There's, you've, you brought two things to my mind. One was what real love is. Like, when you really love your family, you don't love them because they change.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
You're patient with them as they try to change. That's what love is-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... because they may or may never get to the other side. And the other thing that came to mind is something my teachers would often tell me, my monk teachers, they would often repeat to me that you're never trying to get someone to the next step in your journey, you're trying to get them to the next step in their journey.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And I think you're so right that when we're doing self work, we are constantly preaching to other people about the things we wanna hear-
- 9:38 – 12:50
Going out of your way to be of help and support someone in need
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... and the things we want to do.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah. And, like, self work can just be so different for so many people. You know? Like, my morning workouts, I swear that's my self work. My drive in the car every day blasting whatever music I want to-
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
... like, that is my meditation, that's my zone, and that works for me.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
You know? When I need help and I need help figuring out different parenting things and different methods that I can use, I will reach out and get the help that I need when I need it, for sure.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
But I also think there's just, there's no, like, right method of what works for everyone. You know?
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
It's like whatever works for you, good for you.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And I feel like when, when people see you, and even, even now as you're talking, you have so much trust in yourself or trust in your inner voice.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
That doesn't mean you're s- I don't believe you're saying, "I always get it right," or, "This is the only way," what you're actually saying is, "I've learned to trust my voice." And I wonder was there a time when you didn't trust that voice and, or can you remember the first time where you started to hear it? Like, I remember the first time I really started to hear my voice deeply was probably when I was 14 years old, and that's when I could hear this voice inside of myself that was like, "Jay, this is who you are. This is what you care about. This is what matters to you. You don't need to be this or be that or do it this way." And I remember I started listening to it then, and now that inner voice is really loud.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
It's always there but-
- KKKim Kardashian
God, I wish I listened to my inner voice at 14 [laughs] .
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs] Right. Do you remember when you first started, like ... Because when I'm spea- hearing you now, you're just like, yeah, like, I'm very comfortable with people being themselves and I'm comfortable-
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally
- JSJay Shetty
... being who I am, which is beautiful, but when did that ... I feel so many people want to live that way, but that's the thing we all struggle with.
- KKKim Kardashian
It definitely didn't come right away, you know? I was a people pleaser and I would make decisions based off of other people's happiness for so long. And I would say, honestly, in the last few years, definitely at 40, you know, I figured it out of just following my happiness, which was really, I think, an important place for me to get to because I always put other people's happiness over my own. And it doesn't mean you disregard other people's feelings and it doesn't mean you don't care and you don't love them, [lips smack] but it is a great place to be when you finally put yourself first. And I will say that took a long time, and that was, like, relying on other people for confidence in business decisions. And it's, it's great to have your team and to always, like, bounce ideas and make sure that you're collectively picking the right choice and, and work thing for you. But true confidence where you feel you're making the right decisions You know you got it. You are thinking about yourself first, and not just in a selfish way, but like in a protecting your heart way
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
It feels really good. And I might not have gotten there until I was literally 40.
- JSJay Shetty
And what do you think it was about the last few years where you had to turn towards that, that pushed you there?
- KKKim Kardashian
I've never been an unhappy person. I'm always really happy
- 12:50 – 16:25
This is what genuine compassion can do for your personally and for others
- KKKim Kardashian
with my surroundings. I don't need people to make me happy. I'm not really ever searching for something. I'm really content. My babies make me happy, my family, my life, you know, experiences make me happy. But when you just look around and when there's like tension and stress that is just not necessary from work, from relationships, from friendships, and you just decide to be still and not try to please everyone, it becomes just really clear and you realize that you just wanna be happy and you wanna share this life and th- these experiences with your group of people that you trust and you love and who are super loyal. Like, life is always gonna be stressful, and you can't control half of it. But if you can control what you put out and how you react to all of life's stresses and your response to all of that, and realizing that you could eliminate a lot of those stresses with making yourself happy first and choosing yourself, then you know you're in- on the right path. And once I did that, and once I chose to choose myself and be happy, so many opportunities just opened up, things that I never thought in a million years would come my way. It seemed like clear as day that the universe was rewarding me for choosing myself and, like, elevating, like getting to the next level in the video game. Like, I had to get here, and I was always, like, here-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... just in my growth process. And once I chose myself, it was like, oh my God, the whole, the universe is opening up for you, and all these opportunities are coming my way. And those were the confirmations that I was heading in the right direction. I remember saying that to one of my sisters. I was like, "Oh my God, it is so crazy. I got this opportunity, this opportunity. This is changing. This is changing." And it seemed like all these amazing things started to happen in my life when I just took a second, was still, realized, wait a minute, I'm trying to make everyone happy. I'm doing all this stuff for everyone else but myself. Let me just, like, pull back a second, focus on myself, and then it seemed like everyone else was happier because a- everything was just falling into place. And that was like I saw it clear as day, and that would, like, push me and motivate me to continue to just be happy and do what I wanted to do instead of what other people wanted to do. And that was like, it was like a good feeling. It really, like, showed me that I was making the right decisions.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm. I'm so happy for you.
- KKKim Kardashian
Thank you.
- JSJay Shetty
Genuinely. And, uh-
- KKKim Kardashian
It's like a good place to be when you're-
- JSJay Shetty
It is
- KKKim Kardashian
... genuinely a happy person.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
You know? Like, no complaints.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
Like, not taking things too seriously, not taking yourself too seriously is also a, a little key to happiness.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. I think the energy that gets lost in worrying about something versus working towards fixing it or solving it-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... can just drain-
- KKKim Kardashian
The worrying. The worrying, if you worry about something, it's not gonna change the outcome. Let's just come up with a solution.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Like, let's say what the problem is, not complain. I'm not a complainer. So it's like, let's just get to the solution, let's figure it out, and let's move on.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm. Absolutely.
- 16:25 – 18:02
Self work can be different for different people and that’s okay
- JSJay Shetty
Absolutely.
- KKKim Kardashian
Nothing worse when you complain every step of the way.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs] Yeah. And, and it's, and it's natural and it's easy, but it, we all know it doesn't get you to where you wanna go.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And, and I think that's, that's a big reason. What's the, uh, I wonder with what you were saying, one of the big things that comes out as you were talking about family and people in your life, and you talked about your life as chat, like, there's this loyalty is such a big value for you-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... across your life, it seems.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
What have you learned about people that you wish you learned sooner? Was there something that you started to learn and recognize patterns in people and that has made you better now, but you wish like, "Ah, if I learned this a couple of years sooner, then it could have saved me a lot of the, the stress and challenges-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... that came up"?
- KKKim Kardashian
Don't take anything personally. I've been really blessed to have really great solid relationships. I have the same group of best friends, we went to preschool together. We talk every single day. My best friend is my best friend since the day I grow up, you know, when I was born. The people I work with, my family, my sisters, but my best friend's sisters also. You know? And everyone I trust 100%, everyone is so loyal 100%. You can't come up to me and tell me something about one of my friends. If, if like someone were to say, "Oh, this person said this about you," and they're in my circle, I would be like, "Absolutely not."
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Like, I would trust that 100%. And I think that's so rare, or what I've seen is so rare, and
- 18:02 – 24:31
Putting your own happiness first is a skill that can take time to learn
- KKKim Kardashian
I just feel so lucky to just love everyone around you, trust everyone around you. They trust you. My friends know they can call me any hour. I'll be the first one to pick up and help. All of my friends would drop everything to help me in a situation. And to have that real support and love, I think is everything in life.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
To have loyal, supportive people around you. And I think you can also tell so much about a person that has really long-standing relationships. That's stability When I look to hire people, I look at their previous jobs and how long they've had those relationships for. And think about it, if there's someone that's bouncing from job to job, obviously there could be other situations that come into place, but I value people that have these long-standing relationships with people, whether it's their employer or family, and that's super important to me to have all my friends have really important relationships in their life.
- JSJay Shetty
I think that says a lot about you and the family because I wonder what it takes to hold onto a relationship like that when you're on a rocket ship, right? I feel like all of us deal with shifts in our life, transitions, and family and friends that we wanna hold onto, but it gets harder and harder, especially when there's success, when there's envy, when there's competition. And sometimes it's not because someone doesn't love you or doesn't care about you.
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
It's so natural in the world we live in. And so what does it really take? Because I think this will help a lot of people. What does it actually take to hold on to someone you love and continue with all the noise and all the challenges and all the stress that comes with it? What does it actually take? Because it's tough.
- KKKim Kardashian
But then there's those friends that you don't have to talk to every day. I mean, thank God for group chats where you can chime in and heart something really quick, you know?
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
But, like, your real best friends will also support you, and it take- but it's- it takes that mutual respect.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Because what my friends are doing, if they have something that's important to them, it's just as important for me to show up for them as it is for them to show up for me. I might have a more colorful life and a bigger event that I'm asking them to show up to, but it doesn't mean that theirs isn't just as important. So I think just having that mutual respect-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... treating people with respect is just a given. I truly think someone is such a solid person when they have really grounded relationships.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Grounded in love and, and relationships can be different things. You know, sometimes you have your group of girlfriends that you love to go on vacation with, and then sometimes you have, you know, your other friends that you work really well with. Every relationship can be different. If you have just a mutual respect around the- across the board, that's, I think, the number one thing.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. It takes two.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
It takes two.
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally.
- JSJay Shetty
That, that's the point. It's ... You're not gonna be able to create it or falsely hold onto with someone who doesn't-
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally
- JSJay Shetty
... wanna give you that respect.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
It's not gonna happen. Yeah. We- you were talking about earlier about parenting and you brought it up a few times, and I wonder how you view-
- KKKim Kardashian
You don't have kids, do you?
- JSJay Shetty
I- not yet. Not yet.
- KKKim Kardashian
Okay. We'll have this conversation again when you do.
- JSJay Shetty
Yes, absolutely.
- KKKim Kardashian
[laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
That's why I'm asking. That's why I'm asking parenting questions. What was your vision like for what you thought parenting was gonna be like versus what it actually is?
- 24:31 – 29:05
Surrounding yourself with people you trust is the best place to be in
- KKKim Kardashian
to really teach us something, and it's a really hard task when you have four kids and you know they all wanna be put to bed at the same time. By the same person, and they all wanna do it individually and have that experience. And no one wants to wait, and I'm locked in a room with kids banging outside of the door because they want me to put them to bed, and I'm like, "I can't cut myself in four pieces, so we're gonna have to schedule this out." And we're coming up with a schedule, and none of them wanna listen to the schedule, and then they all start crying, and that's like a typical night, you know? And so I, like, sit them outside of my one daughter's door, and I'm like, "I'll pick you up next. We're doing this for 15 minutes." And they can't be patient, and they're banging on the door, "Come on, it's been five minute..." You know? It's like those nights are every single night. Big school projects, big things that are happening, and they don't understand that I work or I have a school schedule, too, or, you know, stuff kids will never understand. So I think it's just those nights when you can't divide yourself, and you have to just work with what we have and try to bribe two of them to get put to bed at the same time, you know?
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
I think unless you're a pa- Like, m- so much respect to parents, so much respect to people also that aren't parents that wanna live their free life. [laughs]
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
Enjoy it while you can. I was at Easter on Palm Springs, and I looked at my mom's house, and she had her table set for all of her kids, all of her grandkids, and we're all staying in her house. And I was like, it's, it's a forever thing. It's not like, hey, okay, you're 18 and you're on your own. It's a forever thing, and we're in our 40s, and we're still coming at her and fighting and asking my mom to resolve everything. And I look at her and I'm like, "How did you do it?"
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
I personally can't wait for my kids to get a little bit older.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
Everyone, like, is so afraid of the teenage phase.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
I'm so excited for it. Play this back for me when they're teenagers, and I'll probably-
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
But I see the relationship I have with my mom, and I knew the relationship I had with my dad and how comfortable we were talking to them about all of our problems and all of our friend stuff and all of the drama and all of the high school stuff, and even the stuff I talk to my mom about now and how open I am about life and relationships and how close we are. Even if we didn't get it as a kid, I can look at her now and say, "I get it. As a mom now, as an adult now, I know why you made those decisions." And I love having that relationship, and that is why I wanted to have four kids. I saw my mom, you know, and my dad had four together before she had my two little sisters, and I loved the big family. And I always knew I wanted to have four kids, and I, I just love so much our relationship with her, and my grandma, and I just can't wait to have that with my kids. I can't wait till they're old enough to understand so much that I can never explain to them now that they'll get one day, and we can laugh about it.
- JSJay Shetty
That's so beautiful. Yeah, you reminded me of a, a beautiful old saying that says, "The day you realize your parents were right, your kids are telling you that you're wrong."
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm. So true.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, and it's like that idea of just you're, when you're a little boy, you, like, adore your mom, at least I did up until, like, 13 years old. Then you become a teenager, and you think you're too cool for your mom.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And then in my 20s-
- KKKim Kardashian
You're always back.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, and then-
- KKKim Kardashian
I have, like, contracts with my sons
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
I'm like, "You're never gonna leave me. We always have to be besties. You're never gonna be too cool for me."
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
And they always say yes.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
I'm like, "You can live with me in your 20s, your 30s, never move out."
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
They said okay.
- JSJay Shetty
They've signed the contract?
- 29:05 – 32:05
With parenting, everyone says the days are long, the years are short
- KKKim Kardashian
open and honest with my kids. I think that's the only way to be, and it could be things that they might not understand, and I'll wait to find the appropriate time to talk about it. I think they grew up seeing the cameras, and they grew up seeing that even as babies. You know, we'd walk out, and there'd be paparazzi. So it's not really something that they acknowledge a lot. But, you know, my daughter's really vocal. She'll tell them when she doesn't want them around and to leave her alone and to stop, and I love that they use their little voices. But they also have such a normal life and such a different life away from all of that, too.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
And that's why I love that my sisters and I all had babies at the same time, so they can be with each other and have these experiences together.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm, absolutely. I, I've, when I'm... You know, there's all the words that come out from you are like togetherness, loyalty. It's, it's, it's incredible to see it in family. But I think what you've then done, which when I saw you do this, it, it really moved me when, when I saw you kind of move into that direction of justice reform and using your voice and training to be a lawyer to make this, these changes in the world out there because I find that, you know, there's, there's a natural sense of survival as a family. But then when you start taking into account the survival of others, there's an extension of love and, you know, what goes out to the world. And-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... I think it was really special to see that, and this podcast is called On Purpose for a reason because I think everyone's searching for their purpose. Would you say that that was a expression of purpose or-
- KKKim Kardashian
Absolutely I mean, I think that's one of those moments, like by chance I happened to be looking on social media and seeing a case that I just didn't understand. And I'm always a really curious person, so I'll never let something go if it's weighing on my heart to not at least try to figure out how it happened. I've always been really interested in crime stuff and solving things and figuring things out. So when I saw a case of a woman that just didn't make sense to me, I was really curious, and I sent, uh, this little video that popped up on my Twitter to attorneys that I knew really well that could answer questions for me. And then when it seemed like I couldn't just sit there, it was really weighing on my heart when I felt like it was so unfair. I didn't know that there was, like, thousands of cases that were so unfair. I just thought, "Oh, wow, like, I have to help this person." And then when I was successful in doing that, on my journey, I realized, like, wait, there's so many more people like this. Like, I can't not do something. And I think that that also goes with whatever's meant to come to you at your own pace for your own learning levels is what's meant to be because that came to me. I wasn't, like, searching for that, and that changed my life, and it changed who I am. I just can't sit around
- 32:05 – 36:32
Parenting challenges is a lifetime commitment for every parent
- KKKim Kardashian
and see this happen to other people that aren't deserving of, um, their freedom. I think just everyone's on their own path, and things will come to you when you need to be, like, elevated-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... to that growth level.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
And I'm really grateful for those experiences 'cause I definitely think that that's my purpose.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm. What internal changes did you see in yourself that, that maybe you didn't see before when you started doing this work? Like-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... what, what did you have to grapple with internally? Was there anything that you had to break through inside?
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, what were those things?
- KKKim Kardashian
I would say I always felt like I was a compassionate person and a caring person, and I always cared about people's feelings. But my level of empathy was at a completely different level when I started. I might have been way more judgmental, and I would think that someone that was behind bars, especially for a really lengthy or a serious crime, that they probably were absolutely guilty. I had no compassion. I was just really judgmental. And then when I started to hear about these cases and people's backstories and their histories and realized that so many people really didn't have the opportunities to be better and didn't know better, it really changed my whole life. And, like, my level of empathy is just so different than what it was years ago, and I think that's why I fight so hard for people to get second chances because people make really bad choices and really bad mistakes, some way, way worse than other people. But if you're never given the chance to change, that's really sad, especially if you make a really bad decision as a teenager, and then you're in your 40s and you're given no shot to change when you really already maybe have so much. It was really important to me to express that and help people that have made those changes.
- JSJay Shetty
And I love how I'm, I'm assuming that when you do something like that in the outside space, it kind of applies to your whole life, where all of a sudden, you're so right, that I think we all, not even people behind bars, I think we all judge people-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... all the time.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And when you're almost doing it in such an extreme way and raising your empathy in such an extreme environment, you can now extend that and express that to so many more people-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... because you've had to do it in a way where you were like, "Oh, definitely that person deserves it."
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And all of a sudden you start realizing maybe they didn't deserve that.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And so maybe we don't deserve this. I think, you know-
- KKKim Kardashian
But in all levels of life of judgment.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
I used to judge people and, like, their relationships and how people lived their lives, and now I'm like, whatever makes you happy.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Why should we judge? Who are we to say how people should live their lives?
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
My, my judgment is just, I don't know if it comes with age or experience or just going through so many things, but just be happy, you know? Isn't that what life is about? Experiences, making people feel heard and seen and appreciated, and just having gratitude for the things in life that we're so blessed to have and work for, and if we're surrounded by the people we love, we are... That's real success.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- 36:32 – 38:56
Kids can ask difficult questions and this is how you can be more open to them
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And you could see the look on her face, like she was judging herself so harshly for something-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... so small.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And I guess when you see people judge themselves, then how do you, how do you respond to that or how do you support them?
- KKKim Kardashian
Honestly, I really haven't experienced that much
- JSJay Shetty
Hmm. That's fantastic.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
That's amazing. And I, and I love hearing that because I think it is so true that you can curate and create a community around you-
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm
- JSJay Shetty
... that has similar values.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And then almost [laughs] you don't even-
- KKKim Kardashian
I see a lot of, like, determination-
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah
- KKKim Kardashian
... and a lot of, like, creativity, a lot of hard work.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Like, if I were to go on vacation with my girlfriends, we'd all be getting up probably at 6:00 AM, all wanna go on a workout. I don't think there's that one girl that would be like, "I'm sleeping till 10:00 and I'm not working out," you know? So I think that obviously everyone around you is different and has different personalities, but I think a lot of my core friends are really like-minded.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm. Yeah, and sometimes that positive, positive peer pressure can be really healthy, too. Like-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... even if you have that one friend who's struggling, as soon as you're added to that group-
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally
- JSJay Shetty
... you see them elevate. I've seen that with so many of my friends that-
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally
- JSJay Shetty
... even if there's one person who's struggling with something, as soon as they're in that pack-
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm, yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... all of a sudden you start to see them break through their ceiling.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And, and it changes for them.
- 38:56 – 40:54
The journey of personal growth through helping other people
- KKKim Kardashian
things, that if you don't stop and think about what someone's true values and morals are and how they wanna live their life, so much other things are going on. So I don't blame people that don't really stop and think about those things. I mean, those are some of the lessons that I would teach my kids when they're looking for friends and partners and relationships.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah. You can't really force things upon other people. You can't expect them to be where you're at at your level. And sometimes that can really coexist really well, but then sometimes it really can't.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
You have to let go of the idea of molding people into what you want. Think about if there's something about yourself that you really wanna change. The expectations of going into something and thinking you're gonna get a different result or thinking you have the power to change someone is so selfish and so crazy, and everyone does it. And everyone has to learn on their own, and that's something that I've always, like, sat back, helped friends, given them advice, but never really pushed because even if I were to say, "Hey, don't walk down that path. Trust me, I've been there. You don't wanna go there," and they say, "Okay," and they follow you and they go on a different path, they'll never learn that lesson. They have no clue what I'm talking about. You know? I could say parenting stuff to you all day long. With all due respect, you have no clue until you've been through it.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
I welcome people's journeys and their lessons, and I'll always be there to the people that I love to help them through that-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... but they gotta go through that in order to grow on their own.
- JSJay Shetty
What's the biggest lesson you learned from your mom that you're trying to pass on to the kids?
- KKKim Kardashian
I think just how she makes people feel.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Really heard and welcomed. She really is the most warm welcoming person, and it's just, like, her overall ... It seems superficial, but it's not. Like, her party planning
- 40:54 – 44:12
Kim explains that we all make mistakes and the second chance we get makes a huge difference
- KKKim Kardashian
skills. It's not even that. It's just the welcoming-ness of ... I don't even know if these are words I'm saying.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
But, like, just her ability to be so warm and to make everyone feel like they were invited here. I'm gonna create this, like, special Easter dinner with, like, the things on the table, you know, that she had when we were growing up at my dad's house. Like, she just has all this, like, really special nostalgic stuff around all the time and always tries to make everyone feel so special, but with, like, a gathering so that everyone feels comfortable and can hang around. Like, she just loves people in her space-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... and loves to create these memories, and I think that we all got that from her and we will all ... If I can just pass that on to my kids, just the, the experiences that we have as a family, whether we're just sitting in our pajamas and hanging out, we make the time to be together, and I hope that my kids wanna make the time to be together when they grow up with their cousins and their aunts and just the whole family.
- JSJay Shetty
I'm sure they will.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah, I think they will too.
- JSJay Shetty
I'm sure they will. Yeah. I think, I think you've managed to hold onto it in your entire generation, and so-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... they see that. I think kids mirror so much of-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... what they see around them. And I remember when I met my wife, her grandma is her favorite human on the planet, and it's really interesting how when someone you love, you know who their favorite human is.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
You automatically start loving them.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And I wasn't really close to my grandparents, but I'm closer to Radhi's grandpar- like, grandma-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... than I am to my own grandparents because-
- KKKim Kardashian
That's so cute
- JSJay Shetty
... you see your love for-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... the person that you love. And so I think when your kids see the love that you have for your sisters and your cousins and your aunts and uncles and parents-
- KKKim Kardashian
Now, if only all my kids can love their siblings, that would be amazing.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
They're in a fighting phase.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
Did you ... And you guys went through that phase, I'm sure.
- KKKim Kardashian
We went through it too.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah.
- 44:12 – 47:03
“I’ve never been hard on myself, but I am competitive with myself.”
- KKKim Kardashian
will text each other and be like in tears, literally locking ourselves [laughs] in the room, like away from a kid having a tantrum when that's not what you should do. You should go and lean into them and, but sometimes it's so overwhelming. That was probably the only time I'd be hard on myself is, am I a good mom? I try to do everything. And I think how to balance work with that is when you're home being really present.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Kids, all they want is time.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
They just want your time.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
You can give them all these amazing big experiences, and they'll remember them and they're great, but they'll always remember you being present.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
And I think that's just the most important thing in all of your relationships. Think about what a kid wants. A kid just wants your time, so why wouldn't everyone else? You have to kind of treat everyone like that if you want these like meaningful relationships in your life.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
And you have to be present, and it's okay to feel like you are not 100% at being the best mom. I say this all the time. We- there's no manual. They do not come with a manual. Everyone's doing the best that they can, and I just feel so lucky that I have a good group of girlfriends, and all of our kids are experiencing different things from ... I mean, imagine all the things that they ... A divorce, everything that they have to go through. We're okay. They will be okay. And they will feel the love and support, and that's all you can do. It'll be okay.
- JSJay Shetty
And I'm sure that's hard for you because you were saying that you're so competitive with yourself-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... you want to be the best at everything.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
But I feel like being the best mom must be the hardest-
- KKKim Kardashian
Hardest job in the world
- JSJay Shetty
... thing to ever live up to.
- KKKim Kardashian
Absolutely. And I'm very confident ... So every year I write each one of my kids about a four or five page letter about, on their birthday, about what the year was like, who their friends are, silly words they're saying, their favorite foods, all the silly things that they do, and a little journey of what the year is like, and it's so fun to see from the first year now, you know, one of them almost 10 years old, and just to ... I know that they'll appreciate this. I know that they'll appreciate everything that they might have thought I was being a little harsh on, me protecting them. I know that they'll, they'll get it-
- JSJay Shetty
Mm
- KKKim Kardashian
... 'cause I got it with my mom.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
And I know they'll get it with me.
- JSJay Shetty
You've reminded me of something beautiful that I wanna share that ... So my mom and dad were both immigrants in London, which is where I was born and raised, and both my parents worked ever since I was a kid. And so I'd get dropped to daycare, get picked up in the evening. But what I remember is something you said. My mom would come and pick me up, and I still remember the look on her face when she'd pick me up. She'd have this big
- 47:03 – 52:08
How can positive peer pressure help you?
- JSJay Shetty
smile. She'd give me the biggest hug. She'd take me home, and we'd sit down together while she was cooking, and we'd just talk to each other. And it's almost like I never had a lot of time with my parents growing up, but I felt so much presence.
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
And I honestly believe-
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm
- JSJay Shetty
... today that I have so much love to give because my mom infused me with love.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
Like, my mom just like-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... you know, bathed me in so much love-
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally
- JSJay Shetty
... that it's, it's so easy for me to be loving because I've always had infinite amounts of it from my mom.
- KKKim Kardashian
That's the best.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
I couldn't imagine. I love on my kids so hard.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs]
- KKKim Kardashian
They are so annoyed with me, and I love it.
- JSJay Shetty
What I find genuinely inspiring about you and the way you think and focus is that you wanna be this incredible mom, but you also wanna show the kids what a passionate, purpose-
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm
- JSJay Shetty
... driven person looks like.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And I think we forget that that's also parenting. Like, I'm not a parent, but I can honestly say it that when I saw my mom working late at night and waking up early in the morning, I look back at my mom and I think my mom is a superwoman.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
And I look back at that as inspiration.
- KKKim Kardashian
I hope my kids think that of me one day.
- JSJay Shetty
[laughs] They will. They will because they'll see that. And I think same with my dad, like I saw my dad and how much he had to work and-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... and, and there was something powerful about that.
- KKKim Kardashian
I think I always like to show them, like I drop my kids off at school, and then I have two or three hours of, of law school. So I gotta go. I'm on time because I have my school, and they have been on the journey with me. They saw me take the bar exam. They saw me open my results and not pass multiple times. They saw me open up the results and pass, and I was crying, and they felt my hard work and it paid off. I wanna show them that finding a passion and working to me is something I love to do. And there's so much joy in that for me, and I want them to feel that positive experience, and I, I encourage that from them. Like, I wanna just show them as many positive experiences as I can and show them that, you know, you can work hard and you can love it, and I just try to live my life and be a good example for them
- JSJay Shetty
I think it comes through. And I, and I do believe that. Like, when I look back at my parents, all I can do is appreciate my mom.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- 52:08 – 54:41
The warm welcoming presence always makes people comfortable and welcome
- KKKim Kardashian
and I would just focus on that.
- JSJay Shetty
That's such a heartfelt answer. I love that.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
That's, that's beautiful. I'm, I'm glad, I'm glad I asked you. It's like ... Yeah, I just feel like it's really interesting. I was having a conversation last night with a, j- m- with the mutual friends of ours, uh, Scooter Braun and-
- KKKim Kardashian
Oh, yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... we were together last night and we were talking about this idea about how we often think that our experiences make us who we are, or is it that you are just gonna be who you are anyway because that's who you were meant to be?
- KKKim Kardashian
I think it's both.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
Think about it. You can be the most talented person, but if you don't have that determination and drive, then what will become of it?
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
You know? It's not just gonna magically happen because you're talented.
- JSJay Shetty
Of course.
- KKKim Kardashian
So I think so much of it is the effort and what you do with that and figuring that out and who you are and what you wanna put out in the world.
- JSJay Shetty
I guess my point is that I think you have that energy of wanting to be the best, of wanting to do things really well, of wanting to do things with that quality, and whatever you ended up doing with it-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... it would have been that, and it is that already.
- KKKim Kardashian
And I think in life-
- JSJay Shetty
I mean, you're doing that anyway
- KKKim Kardashian
... you have to, no matter ... Even if this isn't the job that you want, no matter what it is that you're doing, you have to be fully your best. You have to put in 200%. You have no idea who's paying attention. You're at that place exactly what, where you're supposed to be at that time. There's nothing worse than someone that doesn't wanna give it their all, no matter what it is.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
And it could be s- ... That's like, you know, business advice that I heard that always stuck with me and always was ... Even when I was working at a clothing store, I was so happy to be there.
- JSJay Shetty
Organizing.
- KKKim Kardashian
I did my ... Yeah, I did my absolute best that I could selling everything and steaming everything and hanging everything, and I think those experiences just show you what you wanna do in your life, show other people really what you're made of. I'm just like a, I'm a really competitive person, so no matter what it is that I'm doing, I wanna be the best at that. I wanna learn everything about it, and I'm just a super curious person.
- JSJay Shetty
Beautiful. Uh, question number four, seeing as we've been talking about values: what's something that you used to value that you no longer feel you value anymore?
- KKKim Kardashian
Definitely material designer things. I used to value, I mean, stuff. I live in an area where there would be fires a
- 54:41 – 1:00:10
When you feel like you’re the worst mom, how do you cope?
- KKKim Kardashian
lot, and there was probably four times we had to fully pack up the house, everything out, houses catching on fire, property caught on fire, like really close to losing everything. First time, packed up my entire shoe and bag closet, and a lot of them 'cause they were memory stuff from my dad, stuff from high school, but all designer stuff also. Videos, photos, whatever. Digitized everything, put everything important somewhere else. Second, pack up the designer stuff, but leave some, leave some of the clothes. You know, I don't really need all the clothes. But I packed a hotel for months, bags and ba- every designer thing that I had had to come. Third time, leave all the bags and shoes. I don't, I don't need them. We got all the, we got all the photos. We got all the, my little blankie when I was little, you know, the kids' stuff. Fourth time, leave everything. Me and my babies, that's all I need. You know? I have all my photos digitized. I have everything digital. We got our passports. We're good.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
And that, like, evolution of, like, they had to go in and get all my designer stuff, or I'm not leaving my house, you know, it's gonna catch on fire.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
And now I'm like, nothing is worth it. Nothing is important. And I think that comes from life experiences, scary experiences, things shaking you to your core to make you realize that nothing is important. You can't-- I know everyone says this, but, like, you can't take it with you. None of it is important.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah. There's a beautiful Islamic proverb that says, "Detachment doesn't mean that you own nothing. It means that nothing owns you."
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm.
- JSJay Shetty
And I feel so often we become owned by our-
- KKKim Kardashian
I love that
- JSJay Shetty
... dreams, our desires, our pursuits, our things.
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah.
- JSJay Shetty
It doesn't mean that we have to give them all away or we don't have those things. It's just-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... if and when we have to let go-
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally
- JSJay Shetty
... are we willing, are we able to let go?
- KKKim Kardashian
Totally. Even with work stuff. I mean, it doesn't just have to be the material things.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Like you said, like, your dreams, and it's okay to be able to let go, but work so hard to, like, the opposites are okay.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Contradicting yourself a little bit in those ways.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah.
- KKKim Kardashian
You know, it's like in, in relationships, you can love a person, miss a person so much, but still have the wisdom to know they're not your person and you're better off not together. That, like, opposite connection with everything, I think, is really important to have that awareness in everything in life, relationships, material things, all of that.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, I, I, I, I officiated a wedding a few years ago and someone came up to me from the audience and, and said to me, "Jay, I realized from what you were saying that" they'd just gone through a breakup recently, and they were saying, "Jay, I realized that I love that person, but we didn't like each other anymore."
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm.
- JSJay Shetty
And it was that essence of, like, there'll always be that deep love for each other-
- KKKim Kardashian
Yeah
- JSJay Shetty
... but we just don't, like-
- KKKim Kardashian
Like family.
- JSJay Shetty
Yeah, yeah, yeah
- 1:00:10 – 1:01:34
Living a good life and being the best example for your kids
- JSJay Shetty
people try to find people when they're not at peace, hoping that someone else will put their pieces back together.
- KKKim Kardashian
Mm-hmm.
- JSJay Shetty
You are at peace. Do you ever feel like you want to be in love again? Do you, do you long for that? Or, or are you so at peace that that isn't a consideration?
- KKKim Kardashian
I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic and always want to be in love and definitely love sharing my life with someone and love creating a life with someone. I definitely will take my time, and I think there's so many factors, especially when you have kids, and being mindful of people that enter y- in your life, and if I can look at everything that I did wrong and try to not make the same mistakes and really take my time, I think it just has to be different for me. You know, it's obviously such a hard place to be in 'cause How do you go about? Who do you ... You know, it's like so, there's so many factors. But I'll always believe in love and I'll always want that, and I think that's such a magical part of life. But I think I'm so comfortable taking my time to not rush it. There's so much going on that I'm not lonely.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm-hmm.
- KKKim Kardashian
And I think that that
- 1:01:34 – 1:03:25
Kim on Final Five
- KKKim Kardashian
is really important. And I believe, like I always believe, you know? And I think that, um, whatever's meant to be will be.

- KKKim Kardashian
Hmm. That's-
- JSJay Shetty
Take your time
- KKKim Kardashian
... that's a good one. Just second chances and fairness. I think it could be something as simple as just whether it's in our system or judgment in life, just making sure that everyone had, like, a basic human right to what's fair, I think would change a lot in the system.
- JSJay Shetty
Mm.
- KKKim Kardashian
Would change a lot in life. And a law for everyone to be kind. It's that simple. You think about, like, all I wanna do is raise kind, thoughtful, grateful, mindful human beings.

My fears are only going to continue to show me what I'm capable of. The more that I face my fears, the more that I feel I'm gaining strength, I'm gaining wisdom, and I just wanna keep doing that
