Desire To Be

Trailblazing the world of religious Jewish Female music is something Franciska first started at a young, tender age. Being born into a family and Russian culture that promoted musical talent, Franciska had the tools in place to cultivate her G-d given talent.

As she shared her music with the world, she describes what the responses of family, friends and audience was like, and how it further influenced the music that she produced.

My favorite part of the interview was learning how Franciska built her podcast on non-spoken topics, allowing her audience to connect with her guests, who were perhaps speaking of their life story as well. She isn't afraid to speak her mind (in her calm and gentle way) and have a platform for others to do the same. Essentially her podcast is a space for healing and true expression - a genuine gift in this world!

What does money have to do with it?

Everything! According to Yael Trusch, host of the popular podcast: Jewish Money Matters.

She describes in this episode how money is available to us all; an abundance resource from G-d Himself, that easily flows to us all. It becomes easier to navigate once we master full trust in G-d and see ourselves as a conduit for His blessings to manifest in our lives.

Yael has a great resource for improving your wealth, together with your relationship:

"10 tips for money date success" - which you'll find on Yaeltrusch.com/moneydate

Say what?

What are we celebrating?

All sizes. All women. Who want to look beautiful, without feeling the need to be a certain size. Without needing to fit into a style that's not right for them.

That's what Rivky's goal looked like when she hit a brick wall, trying to find clothing that fit her & made her look and feel beautiful in them as well.

"If you can't find 'em, make 'em" - and that's precisely what she did, as she started her business, Impact Fashion, beautifying her clients, one closet at a time.

Here's the catch. According to Rivky, wearing clothes that fit well, at any size, does something magical for your self esteem, your inner self worth; something that she's heard countless of times from her customers.

They are so happy that they keep on coming back for more. More classy clothing. Timeless clothing. Clothing that make them feel stylish, modest and comfortable in their own skin.

Check out Rivky's fashion line on www.impactfashionnyc.com

We all have innate desires to grow, be the best version of ourselves as we walk our journey of life.

What about people who feel they are stuck? What if their inability to grow lies in the fact that their inner child has been vying for something its' entire life? What if that inner child has been begging to feel love - from Mom and Dad; something she had been waiting for since her infancy... and she carried this void all her life.

Working with my client, it became clear that she carried the pain of this void within her for 60 years. And because she didn't RECEIVE the love from the people she loved most, she lived her life WORKING for love instead - Bending backwards for others when they needed things done, offering her services to those around her... all in order to be accepted, "loved" and have others pleased with her.

When she felt physical sensations of pain in her body, something inside was telling her that she really wanted to say no to others; that she didn't always want to give in. Each time she ignored that little voice, the pain acted up again. Her body was telling her something profound.

That little child within her wanted to feel love, but not from others, not from their validation. But from within.

Listen to this episode to find out how my client uncovered the love to give her inner child and how she re-ignited her inner flame of greatness after 60 years!

What do you do when the doctor says everything is fine?

What do you do when your body is still crying out in pain?

When the pain is burning in the womb?

This is what my client was experiencing when we first started her guided meditation release sessions. She was holding onto a lot. A ton of emotional pain coursed within her; to the point that she felt it as a physical sensation, burning in her womb.

She knew that holding onto the stress of abandonment, punishment and feeling sorry for herself, was not the way for her to get past it.

In her guided meditation, she started to feel some relief. Clarity. Healing. A calm womb. A happy womb. A womb that was able to function as it was meant to, without holding onto the pain of the past.

No one wants to get this letter in the mail. 

You’ve been summoned to Jewish court. 

The plaintiff? My close relative. 

Beyond the initial shock, fear and disbelief, I found myself wallowing in the discomfort; wallowing in self pity. And it wasn’t feeling good. The feeling of being stuck under a rock, with no one to turn to and not seeing any way out. 

But wallowing in pain was not what I desired. Focusing on my circumstances wasn’t moving my needle into greatness. So I asked G-d to direct me on my path. Show me what I need to learn. Show me how to grow into a better person. I asked again and again. And then I went to my favorite place: WITHIN. In a meditative state I found that I was able to access a part of me and show up as a different person. Listen to this episode to hear the full story. 

Is this something you’ve tried for yourself? I’d love to hear your feedback! Comment on this episode or connect with me on Instagram (@its.devoragoldberg), Facebook or LinkedIn (Devora Goldberg).

Chaz Volk, host of the Bad Jew podcast and CEO of Thrive Media has a desire. To show up. To live authentically. The best version of himself. As a Jew.

On his journey in life and Judaism, he questions, experiences and learns, bringing his friends, followers and podcast listeners on his journey together with him.

In this episode, Chaz sheds light on his perspective on the events that took place on October 7, 2023 in Israel. He discusses his take on antisemitism and describes how this is not his first take on standing up to those opposing Jews. He draws my listeners to understand how they could become a LIGHT and force of positivity during these dark times.
