WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT

Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Memoir, Confidence, Ambition, Love and Purpose

  1. Priyanka Chopra Jonas says writing her memoir Unfinished forced her to look back for the first time, and she describes her childhood as the most vivid and healing part to revisit.
  2. She credits her parents, who never shamed her ideas and insisted on financial independence, for her confidence, and she argues confidence can be kept in reserve and pulled out when needed.
  3. She and Jay Shetty discuss women in male-dominated fields, the lack of South Asian representation, and how the internet opened new paths beyond doctor, engineer or lawyer.
  4. She describes support in a busy relationship as giving space and thoughtfully making the other person's day easier, and she separates her impatient professional self from her calmer personal self.
  5. In the closing rapid-fire segments she names no one going hungry as the law she would make and shares her mother's advice to have courage of conviction.

IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING

5 ideas

Confidence is something you can store and use when needed.

Chopra Jonas says you don't have to wear confidence constantly; you can feel insecure and afraid, then pull confidence out when you walk into the room, which makes it more powerful.

Parents who respect a child's ideas build a lasting sense of self.

She says she was raised to have opinions even in a hostile room, and that treating children as developing their own minds lends adults confidence.

Choice and opportunity are at the heart of equality.

She defines feminism as not letting others decide what she should do, and both she and Shetty note that the ability to imagine certain careers is part of the gap.

Support in relationships is about small, thoughtful acts.

She says support means giving space and asking how to make the other person's day easier, such as a cocktail, coffee or blanket arriving unasked.

Ambition and calm can coexist by separating work and personal life.

She says she is impatient in her job but patient as a person, and that she learned to stop taking the onus of life on herself.

WORDS WORTH SAVING

5 quotes

confidence is not something you always need. You don't. You know? So put it in a backpack. It's okay. Give it a break. Let it be in your purse. Let it be in your wallet. Let it chill for a second.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Women before us have fought the fight and women after us will fight the fight. It'll just hopefully not be the same fight.

It's just being thoughtful and aware about your person and, you know, that's the greatest form of love, is showing it without really asking for it.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

We create boxes and glass ceilings for ourselves because we're like, "Oh, this is the only way I can be and that's how you are successful." There's no black or white in the world. Everyone lives in grays.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

I think it's every generation's responsibility to show the endless possibilities to the next.
