Mindset Tools for Women Who Want a Bigger Role in Jewish Spaces

Walk into shul, see someone leading confidently, and immediately think, “Oh, I could never do that”?
Your brain might be lying to you — and we’re calling it out lovingly but firmly.

This episode blends psychology + Jewish ritual to give you three mindset tools that shift you from “I can’t” to “I can’t… yet.”

Inside we cover:
🧠 Tool #1: The Power of “Yet” — or as we say in Hebrew, od lo. Your spiritual reboot phrase.
🔯 Tool #2: Ritual as Identity Mirror — stop seeing Jewish ritual as “their thing” and start seeing yourself inside it.
✡️ Tool #3: From Self-Consciousness to Sacred Consciousness — transforming “everyone’s looking at me” into “I’m visible because I’m needed.”

This is your invitation to rewire the stories you inherited and step into ritual life with curiosity, courage, and a little holy swagger.
