How do we break the mold? How do we change our bad habits, attitudes and self-perceptions that aren’t serving us and redefine how we show up in the world? Is self-transformation even possible? Raizy asked these questions when she embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery. She recorded it and her takeaways in her new book, The Anatomy of a Yenta: Break the Yenta Mold, Embrace Dignity, and Create an Elegant Life. We’ve brought Raizy on to DMC (for the second time!) to share her story and give us insights into how we can embark on our own self-transformation journeys.

Happy Chanukah to all our DMC listeners! Chanukah is all about miracles, and the Jewish people have witnessed miracles of biblical proportions this year. These open miracles have reminded us that Hashem is in control and will never break his promise to the Jewish people or Israel. And while these miracles have often strengthened our belief and emunah, other historic, spiritual miracles are happening to Am Yisrael as well, both in Israel and the Diaspora. Celebrated Israeli journalist and Torah educator Sivan Rahav Meir joins us on the podcast to share what she thinks is the greatest miracle of all from the war.

So often in relationships, we’re looking outwards – at the other person with his or her flaws & what needs to be fixed. But what if the key to fulfilling and meaningful relationships lay inwards – with the self? What if we truly understood ourselves? Chany Rosengarten believes this type of empowerment gives women peace, joy and confidence – in themselves and their marriages.

Live from the Chizuk Retreat in Cleveland, we sat down with two former DMC guests, Barrie Feld (Episode 36, “Why We all Need Chizuk”) and Slovie Jungreis-Wolff ( 44, “Finding Focus on Rosh Hashana”) for a wonderful reunion and to get some insight into how to prepare for Rosh Hashana, for real.

There's lots to prepare this Rosh Hashana with a 3-day yom tov. So whether you’re on your 6th run to the supermarket or staying up late in the kitchen cooking, we have a DMC for you. Because there’s nothing like walking into Rosh Hashana feeling like you did something to prepare for the day spiritually.

We’re so grateful to have Mrs. Michal Horowitz share her favorite Rosh Hashana insights on this episode of DMC. In her unique style, Michal blends Torah sources and relatable hashkafic insights with every piece of Torah she shares. We were mesmerized by her breadth of knowledge and ability to bring each lesson home.

Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation.
