OPRAH WINFREY: The Life Lessons That Changed Everything

Jay Shetty sits down with Oprah Winfrey for a rare, deeply personal conversation tracing her journey from rural Mississippi to global influence. Oprah reflects on her earliest experiences of self-agency, the childhood abuse she survived, and how a teenage pregnancy and its tabloid betrayal ultimately set her free. She discusses the spiritual practices that have grounded her career — including listening to what she calls the 'still, small voice' — and previews her upcoming immersive experience at The Sphere. The conversation closes with her evolving definition of legacy, now rooted in dedicated service rather than achievement.
