#35: S2/E10: On today's episode we are welcomed by Michali Weinstein. She is a dear friend of mine who is a successful mom, wife, graphic designer, event planner, cofounder of Couture for a Cause. She uses her platform to raise money for those in need, while also advocating for important causes to her such as current events with Israel and COVID19.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michal Lara Weinstein is a busy mom of 4 who has perfected the art of juggling multiple businesses and causes. A graphic designer for 23 years under her business MLWDESIGN, she opened Events 360 in 2017, a full circle of creative services and one stop shop for your event. Located on Central Avenue in the heart of Cedarhurst, her showroom is a pre-teens dream filled with colorful swag and everything you can imagine to enhance an event. Michal is also co-founder of Couture for a Cause, a non-profit organization that has raised hundreds of thousands towards worthy Jewish causes through fashion shows and other creative means. 

Michal was the designer of the famous Lion of Zion logo that raised funds for the family and causes of Ari Fuld, HYD who was murdered by a terrorist. In March 2020 when the pandemic hit, Michal created a campaign she titled KARANA (call out to G-d) that raised funds for families impacted. 

Michal is an outspoken advocate for Israel and has developed a social media following where she shares truthful censored information to thousands. Recently her 22K Instagram account @mlwdesignny (as well as 2 backups) were de-platformed with no explanation, fueling her to continue onward and not give up. 

She attributes her tenacity and strength to the tragic murder of her father at age 10 and the hardships that followed. During the early days of quarantine, Michal began writing and publicly sharing a memoir that was very well received and she hopes to finish it soon. Michal attributes her life experience to giving her the strength to navigate and lead in these difficult times and she continues to be a voice to those afraid to speak while juggling a very busy life.

Welcome to Episode 9 of Season 2 ! 

Some moms seem to have everything: a thriving career, jet-setter life, impeccable wardrobe, and skin that glows year-round. But the truth is, we all have both strengths and struggles, even if our stories look different — and on todays episode we have Divya Gugnani, the CEO and Co Founder of Wander Beauty! 

Serial entrepreneur Divya Gugnani knows women are becoming more discerning about how they spend their time and about the products they welcome into their beauty routine. The Harvard Business grad and former VP of Innovation at QVC teamed up with model Lindsay Ellingson in 2015 to launch Wander Beauty. Together, they built a cosmetics line formulated to be clean and packaged with multi-functionality in mind. Five years later, the New York City-based brand is sold at Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, and Sephora — not to mention becoming a cult favorite among women-on-the-go.

Gugnani, a CEO-on-the-go herself, chats with me all about how to maneuver through business changes, sticking to your vision and dream, al while being a mom! Throughout her journey, the mother of two shares beauty advice, travel tips, and business productivity hacks. Most importantly, she shines a light on exactly how she juggles it all behind the scenes.

Tune in today, you wont want to miss Episode 9 / Season 2 !

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6. On today's episode I chat with Dr Peter Lynn, co author (Tod Jacobs) of the book "Not A partnership - Why We Keep Getting Marriage Wrong and How We Can Get It Right"

Beyond being a typical collaboration between two authors or scholars, this book represents the culmination of more than fifteen years of work that Tod and Peter have done together in the area of marriage. The students of the institute they lead have provided a living laboratory for how to prepare for marriage, face and ultimately overcome its classic and idiosyncratic challenges.

The pair’s primary objective with their students as they head towards marriage is to help them focus both on developing a mature and idealistic vision of marriage as the primary vehicle to create wholeness, meaning, purpose and happiness in their lives, and on working to perfect the character issues that lie at the core of a successful spouse — giving, empathy, focus, staying power and a strong desire to help build the other.

Their work combines practical and mystical Jewish wisdom with modern theory and techniques, and with experience accrued through years of real world implementation and practice. Their unique but differing backgrounds and accomplishments broaden the impact of their work and partnership still further.

Tod Jacobs is Director of the David Robinson Institute for Jewish Heritage in Jerusalem, which he co-founded in 2005. Prior to his current role teaching and counseling his students and alumni, he enjoyed a distinguished career on Wall Street as one of the leading authorities on the telecommunications industry globally. As a managing director at JP Morgan and before that a partner at Sanford C. Bernstein and Company, Tod acted as a frequent commentator on network television and in leading newspapers and magazines, and testified several times before the U.S. Congress as an expert on telecom and media issues. His credits in print and broadcast journalism, where he worked prior to Wall Street, include nominations for both the Pulitzer Prize for investigative journalism and the Emmy Award. Tod lives in Jerusalem with his family.

Peter Lynn has served as Dean of Students at the David Robinson Institute for Jewish Heritage since its inception. An MA in Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) from the University of Pennsylvania and a PsyD in Human and Organizational Psychology, Peter lectures at Touro College in Jerusalem. He is also the Founder and Director of Greatness Within Seminars, where he helps empower individuals and organizations through the application of Positive Psychology. An accomplished athlete and Ironman finisher, Peter was captain of the U.S. World Duathlon Team. Peter lives in Jerusalem with his family.

Welcome to Episode 5 of Season 2!

On today's episode I chat with Suzannah Raff all about clean beauty, what it means to her, an how she's changing the world one deodorant at a time...

Suzannah Raff is a New York native and mother of four who is committed to living an authentic life spiritually, physically, and professionally. Over the years she has earned both a Master’s degree in Business along with a Master’s degree in Social Work. Cleo+Coco was born out of a passion to learn more about toxic ingredients, the negative effect they have on our bodies, and the benefits of plant-based ingredients to create authentic products that are safe and effective. After years of listening, experimenting, teaching, and learning, Cleo+Coco’s next generation of natural was born.

“One of my motivations in developing Cleo+Coco products was to provide products that I felt were safe for my pregnant/nursing self and now my pre-teen children to use. That meant minimizing our exposure to toxic chemicals, synthetic fragrances, aluminum, and talc. It is interesting to note that my maternal grandfather was a chemist and came to New York from Europe as a holocaust survivor and built a very successful spice factory together with his brother. So, it seems that formulating is in my blood. Really, it’s in my fingertips and my nose. I can smell a new dish and recreate it from sensing the spices. Same with perfumes. And now I’m able to reformulate natural deodorants into what they should be, Clean+Confident, conscious, and pleasurable without compromise.”

What an absolute honor it is to be able to kick off my Podcast Season 2 Episode 1 with my most incredible 8 year old daughter, Adina Mya! 

We did not rehearse, discuss topics are plan, rather than dove right into it and BOY did she give me a good laugh but most importantly she is so wise. Don't ever underestimate your children, they are paying attention, taking it all in, and ready to take on the world with what and how you present it to them.

Tune in as Adina shares some of her likes, dislike and thoughts about school, the new year, and of course confidence!
