Video taking off 6.5x its usual first day

Four fires and the bags left behind: Kim Kardashian on Jay Shetty's podcast

Her talk with Jay runs from 20 minutes alone each day to a failed exam in front of her children, and the most liked comment wants to talk about bedtime.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 171,240 views a day, 6.5 times a normal first day on this channel (26,286).

Kim Kardashian's Life Fell Apart Before It Opened UpKim Kardashian's Life Fell Apart Before It Opened Up

The first time a fire came for her house, Kim Kardashian packed every designer bag she owned. By the fourth, she left them all behind. Jay Shetty puts that story at the top of his description for "Kim Kardashian's Life Fell Apart Before It Opened Up," and the episode moved fast. It drew more than 120,000 views in its first 13 hours, several times what a new full-length video here usually gathers in a whole day.

The chapters follow a familiar On Purpose arc, told through one very public life. Kim talks about the 20 minutes she keeps for herself each day, about being a people pleaser who only learned to put herself first at 40, and about the nights when four children all want the same mom at bedtime. Then come the legal chapters: the case that pulled her into justice reform, and failing the bar exam with her kids watching. Her advocacy became public in 2018, when she pushed for clemency for Alice Marie Johnson, and she passed California's "baby bar" for first-year law students in 2021 after several attempts. The last chapter asks whether she wants to be in love again.

The most liked comment comes from a mother of three. She says Kim's evening of baths, dinner and homework looks nothing like hers without a nanny. Other viewers ask whether the conversation is a replay, and a few think they have seen it before.

The episode follows a short of Kendall Jenner that went up three days earlier, so two sisters have now passed through Jay's chair within a week.
