Why is it that the strongest women — the ones who hold their families, communities, schedules, homes, appointments, emotions, and everyone’s everything — are often the ones falling apart inside?
And why are WE, Jewish women, especially wired to take it all on… even when our cups are bone-dry?
In this powerful, honest, and goosebump-level episode, I sit down with licensed therapist Robin Gutman, LPC, to unpack the mental load Jewish women carry — the stuff we don’t talk about, the exhaustion we hide, and the self-neglect we normalize.
Robin and I dive into:
✨ Why high-functioning women crumble behind closed doors
✨ The “container” syndrome — when you hold everyone else’s emotions but ignore your own
✨ The mental impact of constantly giving without receiving
✨ How immigration, motherhood, war, and transition reshape our emotional landscape
✨ The REAL reason burnout is skyrocketing in Jewish women
✨ Simple, doable shifts to reclaim your ease, sanity, and self-worth
✨ Why your mental health affects your fitness, food, motivation, and overall energy
This episode is validating, loving, deeply healing, and exactly what so many women need right now.
You’ll walk away breathing differently.
