      The fact that you can’t recognise someone so unhealthy manipulating you by doing her usual therapist cosplay behaviour is apparent. She has been displaying narcissistic behaviour for years and she is playing you. I have long felt that while your heart is in the right place you don’t seem to be able to recognise or address the darker side of human behaviour in your podcasts. Your interview with someone so clearly narcissistic just verifies what I have instinctively felt about your podcasts. Pity.

      Hi @Jay, I noticed there was an advertisement that appeared right after Jada becomes emotional while she recounts the time in her life when she was suicidal, I don't think the timing of this ad was appropriate, I felt it lacked sensitivity. I recognize this was not done on purpose, but please consider the timing of your ads in the future.

If it's real growth and personal development, why not author the book together. No, I Don't buy anything, she says. It's lie on top of lie!!!

I too have a narcissistic mother, who never takes accountability for anything. I don't see that in Jada's story. I believe that she is rather a co-dependent who likes to save people to feel good. That's why she has fought to feel worthy, enough and not constantly giving and sacrficing herself for other's approval. I know this, because I have been forced to make the same journey.

    This story with Jada resonates so deeply with me. I wrote a book about overcoming trauma, under a pseudonym while recovering from a triple brain injury in 2012.
    I suffered so many traumas in my life and struggled so hard to reach recovery from my debilitating issues.
    Just when I began to get better and heal I suffered devastating losses and could barely get out of bed. I was done, my world had become so small. I was lucky, but so many others are not. I am not through all of the darkness but I can feel the warmth of the light on me now. But I hope if anyone is suffering that they find the hand they need to hang on.
    Thank you so much for this episode.

    Jay thank you for interviewing Jada. This interview has become such an encouragement to my life. I too allowed people to have ideas about me that were inaccurate in order to protect other people. The criticism, judgement and accusations of what others did not know, hurt emotionally, but gratefully it also set me free from the bondage of living up to the expectations of what I thought the world expected of me.
    This talk encouraged me greatly on my walk ❤

She doesn’t have to tell the world anything but her journey, as traumatic as it’s been can and will help so many people. There were some nuggets she dropped that I resonated with so much. I just really appreciate her vulnerability and openness. This world is a tough place to be unapologetically yourself and I soooo appreciate that she embodies that. Imperfections and all!

      I guess negative comments are deleted here... it's not about people not liking her truth... it's about the fact that she contradicts herself in various interviews, which is why she is not credible in any way. We just don't believe her. She tried to create a program that is supposed to be "only the truth" by sells lies on the front (or if you like - hides the truth, but why such a program then?).
      And over and over again words: I, I, me, me, ...
      I recommend watching the behavior panel. Many people simply have similar feelings intuitively - which specialists confirm.
      Probably there is some truth - but much more creation. People don't like to be gaslight - when you see a lie its a lie. No matter how nice you dress it.
      I played her old interviews - there was definitely less manipulation, condescension and more naturalness...
      Something gone wrong. She is still charming but not reliable. I wish her to find the truth. Because there is ALWAYS ONLY ONE truth..

      ​@@soso-cm7kt I can see where you're coming from with this, but I think that's where as a society we sometimes can falter. Nobody should be claiming to have access to THE truth, so she definitely shouldn't be saying that and I think in this interview she does mention something about not knowing the full truth. Everything is perspective. Even as a coach, I can never tell my clients that there is only ONE way to think or go about something. There are MULTIPLE ways to a particular end goal, result etc. That's where I'm getting at. She may appear to be inconsistent, unreliable etc. but let's also remember that people change. We're constantly learning, integrating, and adopting new beliefs. It's called growth. And the person I am today, may not be the person I am tomorrow. That's normal. We're human, we're allowed to change our minds about things. I've watched a few of her red table talks, and now this and still just see someone who is learning as she goes, and sharing what she's learning in the process.

Jada was raw, real, and rational in her ability to express her pains and mistakes endured in this life. In addition, Jada seemed free when she opened up about her constant search for healing, peace and state of being as it pertains to her relationship with husband Will Smith. I totally could relate to how the traumas of her childhood gave her strength to move in positivity instead of negative feelings against people who didn't love her or show her love. Ohhh, and when she talked about showing people grace,,, my goodness it touched my soul. If more people had this thought process, we would most certainly be a better nation and world of beings. Lets continue to be the change of frequency, Jada! I am with you wholeheartedly!!! My Grandma has been the greatest impactful being in my life, too. I am forever indebted to her.

And now getting to the end of it - I don’t so much reprimand myself for the way I judged Jada as understand ‘my humanness’ and how I can grow some more. There is no point in having negative perceptions of people, especially if you haven’t a clue about them. To be ok with people, their choices, their journeys is far more liberating. I love the way Jada shares her lessons in life, indeed they are lessons for each and everyone of us. I have come away with so much respect and an appreciation of her journey. I can relate to it so much. Love this….. “I’m getting to the point that when tumultuous things come about, I smile and I go ‘Ok you’ve got a great one for me on the other side of this bad boy!’” I am beginning to get that perspective in my life too, there is such empowerment in choosing the path to be wise rather than wounded and simply smile, with knowledge that this is another life lesson on our path!!

      Seriously that's why people live with trauma for so long; because we don't get closure from our abusers or those that hurt us so we carry that weight ourselves and convince ourselves we deserved it or are somehow responsible for it. It's a huge deal. So many parents and grandparents are stuck in this "older generation" way of thinking when it comes to having humility for their actions and behavior because in their past it was considered the "norm". But we all have to grow with the times, and we all know right from wrong and love from hate. If my parents and family would have sincerely apologized to me it would have changed the trajectory of my entire life. It's beyond important. It is crucial.

I would think maybe at least be willing to apologize after 20 years. But no I was the bad guy for even bringing it up and it cost me my mom and my dad. It was devastating, but basically for the reasons Jada says in the beginning. Like why was I not good enough for you to be good to me and to show me love? What is wrong with me that my parents would abandon me and not show me unconditional love? Like even with an apology the effects of what that does to someone is catastrophic.

    This conversation has brought so many insights to me. There's so much wisdom in it. I'm not a native English speaker, but I feel so resentful towards all these people on social media who blindly hate her. Jada, Will and their children have always inspired me so much with their approach to life, spirituality and relationships within family. I've enjoyed some of Red Table Talks, loved Will's book - it really helped me in a dark period in my life, at that moment it gave me so much inner energy and inspiration!
    So seeing all this negativity towards her without any efforts from people to truly understand her as a human being, hurts me so much. I admire her strength, this talk was eye-opening to me. I would really like for her to know that there are people who support her and see her, and understand her.

    If your heart and mind are open, there’s so much love and life that can be felt in this story. No one’s journey is easy or completely ‘squeaky clean’. I’m grateful to hear from folks that allow themselves to be vulnerable enough to stand in their authenticity. It takes a great deal of strength to face the truth of your darkness, especially in a world that pressures us to perform perfection everyday. This is human. I’m happy to have watched. All love.

Your life is public and you get a hard time from some people but we all go through similar experiences and we get to hide. Going through the challenges and seeing them for what they are and still deciding to stay married is an excellent example for the world. One of the best things in life is to fight for our relationships and learn how to make them work. Keep fighting for yourself and your beautiful family! I pray your marriage will prosper and that you will both find healing the true oneness that God intends for each couple. I can't wait to read your book! Thank you!

My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses.

    ‘Let’s be in PARTNERSHIP, and talk about the realities of temptations, etc’
    Will & Jada show us how communication is really the cornerstone of any partnership tethered in marriage & gifted in the privilege of real, true, unconditional LOVE!
    When your marriage isn’t all about sex, you can see why a private agreement of separating is not considered ‘an open marriage’ just because the public declaration of marriage is still what it is and divorce is not an option.
    I just really appreciate how well Will and Jada were able to craft THEIR specific marriage around each others needs and break away from codependency at the same time be so determined about their commitment to themselves and each other for not throwing each other away with a declaration of divorce.
    It takes all the self respect, patience, transparency, authenticity, candid, love, respect for each other, & careFULL thoughtfulness that marriage is suppose to embody when done right and evenly yoked to get to alignment and balance in this way.

Most people won’t understand because people only love them if they stay in line and perform the roles they were hired for.

I thank God for keeping her long enough to share her journey, in writing, to the masses. There are so many relatable takeaways from this interview. One in particular is the fact that there is ALWAYS a blessing on the other side of adversity.

    It's wild how Jada can bring up so much hate for people and it just goes to show how much shadow work the "conscious community" is avoiding. Jada is a piece of the universe just as much as anyone else. Her voice is valid, her mess is valid, her process is valid. To anyone having a visceral reaction to her, she is just a mirror, and if there is no room in your process for facing your own mess, you will continue to manifest judgement, shame and guilt in your life. When you face your shadow, give it infinite compassion, without judgement, then you'll become more free, and will in turn have the patience and compassion for other people's mess as well.

She has done so much work on herself and it's so enlightening to hear how she struggled in life with self and finding her way. There is such a misconception that just because you are famous and have money that you have it all together but she shows us the human side of herself self with her life experiences and puts it on out there. I love it how she takes accountability and has no regret from her life because it made her the person she is today and still willing to grow... Life is not easy and relationships take a lot of work and she points out how it's about learning how to grow together and not giving up on each other. All the beauty and all the ugly got her to where she is now of her new found wisdom. I admire her vulnerability and highly recommend buying or listening to the book.

This is the 2nd time I have felt like I hit rock bottom & Jada sharing the vulnerability of her own journey, has made me realise that I’m right where I need to be, on so many different levels. She really just has a different way of viewing the world, one I relate too. 💛

    People who are in the path of growth and healing can not judge this woman and this marriage, the deep understanding of what it takes to be vulnerable and present yourself just as you are and coming to feel worthy… ❤ I loved this interview and I am glad I watched because it is easy to eat what the media tells you and the media has it all wrong 99% of the time.

      So it's okay for women to emotionally manipulate men and use social media to abuse them further?

      She's a criminal this one. Watch her first interview then you will understand that this interview was a strategy to seek pity after the backlash. She deserves all the backlash.
