In this thought-provoking episode, Raizel Schusterman sits down with educator and author Shterna Ginsburg to explore a timeless truth: while pain is an inevitable part of life, suffering is a choice we make — and one we can transform. Through the illuminating lens of Chassidus, they unpack how our perspective shapes our experience, why hardship doesn’t have to define us, and how we can use life’s challenges as catalysts for spiritual growth. With warmth, wisdom, and real-life insight, this conversation offers practical tools and soulful inspiration for anyone navigating difficulty and seeking deeper meaning.
