Your Brain on Revenge with Oprah and James Kimmel, Jr.
20 januari 2026 · 1 uur 4 min
Is revenge the root of all forms of violence? Oprah sits down with James Kimmel, Jr., a revenge and violence researcher and lecturer in the psychiatry department at the Yale University School of Medicine and the bestselling author of the eye-opening book, The Science of Revenge: Understanding the World’s Deadliest Addiction - and How to Overcome It. From bullying to school and mass shootings to terrorism and even war, James Kimmel Jr’s 20-year research argues that the root cause of all human aggression and violence in the world is the one universal human emotion: revenge. After being bullied as a teenager, James Kimmel, Jr shares the horrific moment he almost became a mass shooter himself, and why that became the catalyst for his life’s work. James Kimmel Jr shares a research study that could reveal just how prone you might be to seeking revenge. He has also created The Non-Justice System & The Miracle Court App, a 5-step scripted virtual courtroom where a person who has been wronged can play all the roles in a simulated trial - victim, defendant, judge, jury, and warden. Oprah and James Kimmel Jr also hear searing stories from the audience including a woman whose neighbor shot and killed her dog, a woman who got revenge on a boyfriend who cheated on her, a wife and mother whose intense revenge addiction landed her in the hospital. And how a mother, who lost her precious 6-year-old son to gun violence at Sandy Hook Elementary, came to forgive her son’s killer. Lees meer

Serena Williams and Oprah on Deciding to Take GLP-1 Medications
13 januari 2026 · 1 uur 10 min
For her most of her adult life, Oprah has struggled with her weight. She never dreamed in her lifetime, there would be medications that could help her as well as millions of others. On this episode of The Oprah Podcast, Oprah is joined by Dr. Ania Jastreboff, leading endocrinologist and associate professor at Yale School of Medicine in front of a live audience in New York City. Lees meer
They discuss Dr. Ania’s new book, Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, and What It's Like To Be Free which delivers a deeply transformational message: there is a path to healing from the blame and shame of obesity to lead the life you have always wanted. Dr. Jastreboff shares the science behind why obesity is a disease and not a question of willpower and why the new medications have been so effective for tens of millions of people. Oprah shares her decades-long public struggle with her weight and reveals how her experience with a GLP-1 medication has given her a freedom and energy she never thought possible. Plus, 23-time grand slam tennis champion Serena Williams joins the conversation and opens up about her own battle with weight calling it “the one opponent she couldn't defeat.” Serena also reveals why - after her initial skepticism - she decided to start a GLP-1 medication. Finally, we hear from guests in the audience about how the GLP-1 medications have changed their lives. One of those guests is Stedman Graham’s nephew Julius who shares with heartbreaking honesty how his weight held him back for decades. He says that after losing 64 pounds on a GLP-1 medication he is now “fully alive.”

Oprah & Music Star Mike Posner on His 3000 Mile Walk to Happiness
12 augustus 2025 · 56 min
A musical performance and in-depth conversation with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, speaker and adventurer Mike Posner who brought his guitar to perform for Oprah and our listeners. When Mike Posner’s hit songs “Cooler Than Me” and “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” shot him to stardom at a young age, he quickly learned fame and fortune did not provide the contentment and joy he says his late father always wanted for his son’s life. In 2019, Mike literally walked away from Hollywood to set out to find happiness by trekking across the entire United States of America on foot beginning on the New Jersey coast and ending in the ocean at Venice Beach, California. Mike’s “Walk Across America” took him six months, he crossed 13 states, traveled 2,851 miles and took 5.7 million steps. Mike talks to Oprah about the five lessons to finding happiness he learned during his walk that are relatable to us all (even the moment a poisonous rattlesnake bit his leg, threatening his life and delaying his cross-country adventure.) Mike tells Oprah not everyone has to walk thousands of miles to find happiness, but he hopes the lessons he learned can help you find your own sense of belonging and joy. Lees meer

For over 50 years, The Hoffman Process has helped over 100,000 people transform their lives, helping participants identify negative behaviors, moods, and ways of thinking that developed unconsciously and were conditioned in childhood. Charles “Raz” Ingrasci, co-founder, executive, consultant, and facilitator within the “Human Potential Movement” joins The Oprah Podcast to speak about the popular Hoffman Institute and how their personal growth retreat helps those searching for transformation, spiritual growth, and leadership skills. Actor Orlando Bloom joins the conversation to share his experience with the Hoffman Institute and how it transformed his own life and his parenting style. Raz offers insight into the Hoffman Process by explaining the two core principles; the first being the quadrinity, which is based on four dimensions of self that occur interactively at once, physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. The second principle Raz explains is how our survival mechanism is dependent on the parent-child bond, and how that impulse for unconditional love follows us from childhood into adulthood. Lees meer

After reading the breathtaking book, Oprah said Maria Shriver “has Americans reading poetry again!” And she called it “raw and soul-baring… My jaw was on the floor!” Through poetry, Maria Shriver, who was born into American political royalty and public tragedy, shares never-before-heard intimate stories from her childhood including what it was like growing up with her mother, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and her father, Sargent Shriver, as well as being the only girl in a household of brothers she calls “chaotic” and “terrifying.” Lees meer
Maria candidly talks about her 25-year marriage to Arnold Schwarzenegger and what happened the moment she found out her marriage was over. Maria shares lessons on what the betrayal and heartbreak of her divorce taught her about her past traumas and how she’s been able to find forgiveness. Maria writes about raising her four children, her favorite role of all – grandmother to Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s three children (they call her Mama G) - and how she’s finally found peace. Maria says, “I never imagined writing poetry would help me embark on a journey deep into myself. I never imagined that everything I sought or thought I needed was within me all along.” Oprah tells viewers and listeners she sees this book of poetry as an invitation for anyone who is ready to create an authentic and meaningful life for themselves.
