On Purpose with Jay Shetty · Riz Ahmed: How to Silence Your Inner Critic (And Build REAL Self Worth) · 10 Jun 2026 podcast

You know, for all the reasons we've already discussed and we experienced growing up.

I don't want another strike against me of people somehow thinking I'm weak, you know, or I'm fragile, or I...

Whereas now I look at it as like, well, actually, I feel like I showed a lot of resources and strength and grit, mental and physical.

You know, teaching yourself to walk again or lift your arms or whatever, that takes strength.

And I can say that now.

The time I just saw the glass half empty of it and I thought, I don't even want anyone to think that I'm weak, that I'm broken, that I'm not up to the mark.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And in a way, I actually think that there's some truth in that, that I think the culture has shifted a little bit more.

You know, I think because of spaces like this, man, that you've created and other people have created, where we can talk and celebrate our vulnerabilities a bit more.

You know, I mean, it's talking about this right now.

My body right now is kind of like going, oh God, yeah.

Did I just say all this?

Did I do all this?

But I also feel a bit lighter now.

It's that thing of digging inside.

Like I said, it's an offering.

If there's someone going through something like this, just watching this, if it normalizes their experience, if it makes them feel less alone, then that's beautiful.

And I want to share that.

I think it was that really.

I think it was kind of my perspective.
