What are our fears telling us? What is anger telling us?

We talk about the superpower of acceptance, and how to look out not only for our messages but our messengers.

In this episode, organization and decluttering expert Rebekah Saltzman joins us to share both practical and profound ideas on how to reduce what you have so that your stuff is serving you, rather than you serving your stuff. We troubleshoot the hurdle of forgetting where things are as we age, how to set your kids up for success with learning to organize, getting past the monetary aspect of releasing things we bought and don't use, and dealing with "collectors" (ehem, those with hoarding tendencies). We discuss how to transform what we choose to keep into blessings and not burdens, as well as how to make space for new blessings in our lives.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into a negativity detox. I explain the negativity bias as well as suggest several tools (as well as a tangible exercise) for rewiring our brain to replace negativity with positivity. In addition, I suggest a unique way to live in our happy moments more than our negative ones.

In this episode, I explain why we need constant steams of support and strengthening (yes, its not just you!). I offer practical solutions and words that I hope will be "evergreen" about what we can do from all four corners of the earth to battle for the dignity and victory of the Jewish people during difficult times.
