In this episode of Kale in My Teeth, Rivki welcomes Ellie Zeiler for a conversation about embracing personal growth, redefining success, and navigating life’s pivotal transitions. Ellie shares her journey of balancing a high-profile career with a deeper sense of purpose, the challenges of staying true to herself in a world of external expectations, and the profound lessons she’s learned from her time in seminary. From redefining femininity and values to fostering authentic connections, this conversation covers self-discovery, ambition, and resilience.

We love how their products make wellness easy for everyone, and should be a staple in any pantry. Whether you're craving a warm drink before bed or a coffee alternative that's not too late in the day, their matcha, turmeric latte, and hot chocolate latte are perfect choices.
