Episode Summary:

In this episode I interview Zevi Slavin, the creator of Seekers of Unity. We delved into the concept of humanity and what it means to be human. Zevi shares his personal journey of exploring different mystical traditions and how it helped him understand his own tradition better. We discuss the idea of unity and the importance of embracing both similarities and differences. The conversation also touches on the challenges of slowing down in a fast-paced world and finding presence in the moment. Zevi emphasizes the significance of embodiment and the role of the body in spiritual experiences. Overall, the episode explores the themes of curiosity, intellectualism, and the pursuit of unity.

About Zevi:

Zevi Slavin is an educator, thought leader, and YouTuber known for his work with Seekers of Unity. He proudly grew up within the Chabad community and aimed to reconcile the complex teachings of his tradition with his own curiosity and desire for understanding. This led him to explore mystical traditions outside of Judaism, which ultimately helped him make sense of his own beliefs. Zevi is passionate about sharing his journey and insights with others, aiming to help individuals see the unity in different religious and mystical traditions.

​

Key Takeaways:

- Remembering our humanity underneath our professional, social, and religious roles is essential.
- Being human means being a fragment of the divine and recognizing the divinity in others.
- The concept of unity involves acknowledging both similarities and differences.
- Slowing down and being present in the moment is crucial for finding inner peace and unity.
- Embracing embodiment and engaging all our faculties, including the mind, heart, and body, is important for spiritual growth.

16 years of running  Mimulo, a flower shop in Brooklyn, has taught Chani a thing or two. Listen, you won't regret it.

Chani Frankel, floral designer and life coach, shares her journey of evolving into what is now (and may be gone tomorrow). She discusses the birth and growth of her business and the impact it has had on her personal life. We also talk about her transition into life coaching and the surprising aspects of this new venture. Just like flowers, something that was full of life yesterday may die, and the grief and utter joy in that. She emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and the power of choosing loving language with self. Chani's passion for connecting with others and creating meaningful experiences shines through in her work.

Gitti would never cry over spilled milk because there are proprietary Shlichus techniques she generously shared on the podcast. Born a Rebbetzin, Gitti talks about her extraordinary upbringing that never struck her as being something noteworthy, it was just her life. 

And now she shares candidly about her experience and lessons she’s learned and continues to learn on her many journeys across the world with Shluchim she considers family wherever whenever she goes. 

From wherever you are listening, you will connect with Gitti's story and deeply feel her compassion for connecting with other humans and their experience here and now.

Excited to have Dr. Zvi Goldberg, DACM of Acu for Athletes back on the Podcast! 

In this episode, we talked about chronic pain and stress, why it's not always about trauma, how the nervous system works, how therapy isn't always the answer and finding safety in abusive situations,  and why Zvi is so passionate about helping people. 

Dr. Zvi believes that we are all athletes in the game of life and that chronic pain can inhibit our ability to live our best life. He believes that pain is multifactorial and that his Acupuncture practice helps people to get back to living their best life, even if they don't consider themselves athletes. 

The conversation moved to personal opinions and takes on therapy, bodywork, and how they can work together for optimal patient support. We also talked about domestic abuse, advice vs holding space and so many more nuggets you will enjoy, disagree with, laugh about, or have something to think about. 

Contact info. Because you didn't come here for advice ;)

Returning guest! Dr. Allison Patrice Gould, Doctor of Physical Therapy and all-around hype queen. 

Dr. Gould is back and is starting her own PT business! Ally shares her passion and dedication to her skill and how much she loves learning about and helping her patients. 

We discussed what made the decision to go off on her own, which began with a story of a cell phone and a T-Mobile representative. This moment of understanding and affirmation from a stranger was the catalyst for Ally to go out on her own and embark on a new chapter. We got to unpack the power of pursuing something that brings value to the world, to one's community, to one's workplace, and to one's relationships. All in all, the conversation is about the importance of pursuing one's own path and the motivating factors that can lead to such a decision.

Love and loss have given Ally a lot of information about the world, information that has made her feel lonely. She bravely shares what that looks like and her hopes for the future. 

A major takeaway from this conversation is that you always bet on yourself because when the game is stacked and the chips are down, if you bet on yourself, you're not losing. Even if it doesn't work out, even if things blow up in your face, you've still learned and you've still been fierce and you've followed something that you believed in.

We talked about the courage it takes to walk away from moldy dates and betting on yourself, knowing there is more for you.

Alnev is an artist, songwriter, performer, and king of hype. Ari warned me we'd get dark as so much of his music expresses emotions many are afraid to even articulate. Turns out the conversation was vivacious, funny, and full of life.

"When you fall in love with your own expression, the freedom you seek will find you" is my current favorite Alnev quote.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording it. And you take this invitation to find space in your life to fully express in whatever art language you speak.

You can find Alnev on all the platforms. His music is soulful and vulnerably human.
