It's Been Real

This week on It’s Been Real, we sit down with Mrs. Adina Landa to explore the powerful concept of Moach Shalit Al Halev. We break down what it really means to guide our emotions rather than be controlled by them, how this idea can be applied in everyday life, and what it looks like to tap into higher-level thinking.
