Rewriting the Stories That Shape Us

In a world that moves quickly and often without pause, it is easy to feel as though life is something that happens to us rather than something we actively create. Jay Shetty’s series on CORE, Urban Oracles, challenges that belief by reminding viewers that transformation begins with the stories we choose to tell ourselves.

Jay Shetty, a British author, former monk, and globally recognized teacher, is known for translating ancient wisdom into tools for modern life. After spending years in monkhood dedicated to meditation, discipline, and service, he emerged with a mission: to make inner clarity and self-awareness accessible to everyone. Through bestselling books, global lectures, and meaningful digital content, he has become a trusted voice for anyone seeking purpose, balance, and personal growth.

A New Narrative Begins Within

At the heart of Urban Oracles is a simple but powerful idea: Your life is not a fixed script. It is a story you are continually rewriting.

The series explores how inner narratives shape our choices, relationships, and sense of possibility. When we shift our mindset—from fear to curiosity, from self-doubt to self-worth, from survival to intention—we begin to edit the limiting stories that keep us stuck. These changes may sound subtle, but over time, they can fundamentally transform how we move through the world.

Jay invites viewers to question the beliefs that quietly direct their lives:

“I’m not enough.”

“I can’t change.”

“This is just how things are.”

Instead, Urban Oracles replaces those scripts with grounded, empowering alternatives:

“I am capable.”

“I can grow.”

“I deserve peace.”

“I can choose a different path.”

This reframing is not about ignoring challenges. It is about approaching them with clarity and agency rather than resignation.

The Power of Conscious Choice

Through Jay’s own story, we see that transformation rarely happens in one dramatic moment. It unfolds through small, intentional decisions—questioning an assumption, shifting a daily habit, choosing compassion over criticism, or taking a step toward something unfamiliar. These choices accumulate, creating a new direction and, eventually, a new version of ourselves.

Urban Oracles acts as a guide for this process. It encourages viewers to slow down, reflect honestly, and realign with what truly matters. Whether you are navigating a transition, seeking clarity, or simply wanting to grow, the series offers a grounded path back to purpose.

Reclaiming Your Story

Rewriting your story is an act of self-liberation. It requires courage, curiosity, and a willingness to let go of what no longer serves you. But it also carries extraordinary power. When you choose to see your life as something you can shape, you reclaim authorship. You begin to move with intention. And you open the door to perspectives and possibilities you may have long overlooked.

If you’re ready to redefine your path, reconnect with your inner voice, and choose growth with clarity and intention, Urban Oracles offers a meaningful place to begin.
