WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT

Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Confidence, Failure, Ambition and Choosing Yourself

  1. Priyanka Chopra Jonas describes confidence as a skill built through daily practice, talking through insecurities with trusted people, and counting blessings.
  2. She says she ignores the glass ceiling, reinvents herself across music, TV, film and production, and pursues roles like The White Tiger relentlessly, even when turned down.
  3. She ties her self-worth to tangible work she creates rather than followers, money or others' validation, and says failure is judged by how you respond afterward.
  4. She talks about her upbringing, including her father's 'be like water' advice, her mother's push for financial independence, and her move from Iowa to Miss India and Bollywood.
  5. She and Howes discuss vulnerability, her memoir Unfinished, forgiveness, and the role men and women can play in gender equality, before she shares her three truths and her definition of greatness.

IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING

5 ideas

Confidence is a muscle, not a birthright

She compares confidence to going to the gym or a singer's warmups, saying you practice it at small levels and teach yourself every day.

Voicing insecurities takes away their power

She talks to her mom, husband or best friend, or writes things down, because insecurities left alone in the mind become monsters that usually aren't real.

Count your blessings to reset

She and her mother, and now she and her husband, name five things they are grateful for whenever they feel unstable.

Ignore the glass ceiling others built

She says thinking about a ceiling someone else made would leave her without a trajectory strong enough to break it, so she sets goals and runs toward them.

Your worth is how you react after failure

She says everyone fails if they try something new, and what defines you is how you respond after failing or being hurt, including letting yourself feel it and then going back to work.

WORDS WORTH SAVING

5 quotes

If I sat down to think about the glass ceiling that was built for me, I would never have a trajectory powerful enough to break it.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Your worth comes from how you react after you fail, or how you react after you're hurt. That's being a person of integrity.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

I choose not to live with them alone in the dark recesses of my mind, because then they become monsters, and then they become really, really large, and they're usually not real.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

We are the sum of all our choices.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Don't be careful in love. Just give it and, you know, flow like a stream, a waterfall.

— Priyanka Chopra Jonas
