📸 Backstage access: What you’re missing on tour

From trauma healing to spontaneous rap, inside the unforgettable moments so far

I’m sitting backstage reflecting on these past few weeks, and honestly, I'm filled with so much gratitude that I had to write to you. I’ve dreamed about taking “On Purpose” on the road for years, and now, being able to share this experience with you, city by city, is something I’ll never forget.

This tour has already been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

From the Orpheum in Vancouver to Madison Square Garden in New York, every night has felt like a living room conversation with thousands of hearts open at once. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve meditated together and we’ve gone deep.

At Vancouver’s Orpheum, Dr. Gabor Maté gave us a masterclass in healing. His presence was electric in the most grounding way. He even did live trauma coaching with a brave audience member, and it was one of the most powerful, vulnerable moments we’ve witnessed on this stage.

At the Chicago Theatre In Chicago, Common reminded us of the power of purpose, art and voice. A member of the audience stood up and rapped for him, and then Common turned around and rapped for us. It was raw, it was real and it was unforgettable

In Toronto, at Meridian Hall, my brother Humble the Poet reminded us that healing doesn’t have to look like what we expect. Then an audience member shared their own poetry, and Humble responded with a piece of his own, spoken straight from the heart. It was one of those spontaneous moments that made the entire night feel like magic.

In Boston, at the Boch Center’s Wang Theater, Mel Robbins brought her fire and truth, waking us up with her bold honesty. She shared some of the most relatable, practical advice I’ve heard on tour so far, and her energy lit up the entire room.

At the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, Julia Fox opened up about vulnerability, reinvention and owning your story. She showed a side of herself that many people hadn’t known and, in doing so, earned the respect and admiration of many in the audience. It was one of my favorite interviews I’ve ever done.

Each of these guests brought something unforgettable, and I feel so honored to be holding space with them and with you.

This tour isn’t just about me speaking on a stage. It’s about us… our stories, our healing, our growth. Every night feels like a sacred moment shared between people who are all trying to live with more intention, more compassion and more love.
