  • Thank You, Even for This With Michali Weinstein, Nina Oziel & Yaeli Vogel

    What happens when life gives you an experience you never asked for?


    In this episode, Michali Weinstein, Nina Oziel, and I sit down for a raw conversation about some of the experiences that have shaped us, from medical negligence and moments that changed everything, to gratitude, manifesting, faith, and learning to say “Thank You, Hashem” even when life doesn’t make sense yet.


    We talk about the difference between being grateful for what happened and finding gratitude for what it gave you. We get into manifestation, trusting Hashem while still wanting more for your life, and what our hardest experiences have taught us about ourselves.


    And I put Michali and Nina in the hot seat with the bigger life questions: What do you know now that you wish you knew sooner? What actually matters? What would you tell someone going through their hardest chapter? What do you refuse to waste your energy on anymore?


    Three women. Three very different life experiences. One conversation about perspective, faith, growth, and choosing to see your life differently.


    Sometimes “Thank You, Hashem” comes easily.


    And sometimes it takes years to understand what you’re saying thank you for.

  • Designed to Be You (ft. Malky Lichtenstein) Why Knowing Yourself Changes Everything

    What if understanding yourself better could change the way you move through your entire life?


    In this episode, I sit down with Human Design expert Malky for such a fascinating conversation about what Human Design is, why it matters, and how knowing your own design can help you understand the way you naturally operate.


    And we don’t just talk about it, we actually do it.


    Malky uses my Human Design chart to walk us through the system in real time, breaking down different parts of who I am, how I’m wired, and what it can reveal about the way we make decisions, use our energy, relate to others, and move through the world.


    It becomes such a fun, interactive experience , part conversation, part reading, and part self-discovery.


    Malky is incredibly knowledgeable and has a way of making something that can seem complicated feel clear, practical, and genuinely interesting.


    Whether you already know your Human Design or have absolutely no idea what it is, this episode will make you curious to know yourself a little better.

  • Your Triggers Are Trying to Tell You Something  (ft Aliza Tropper)

    In this episode, I sit down with trauma therapist Aliza Tropper to talk about something so many of us try to avoid: going back.


    We want to heal. We want to grow. We want to be spiritual. We want to move forward. But sometimes, moving forward requires understanding what happened behind us.


    Aliza explains why our triggers aren’t random. They’re often pointing us toward parts of ourselves that still need to be understood, felt, and healed. And true spirituality isn’t about rising above our emotions or pretending we’re unaffected by things. It’s about knowing ourselves deeply enough to understand why we react the way we do.


    That conversation naturally brought us into astrology and why I love it so much, not as something that defines us, but as another tool for understanding ourselves. Our strengths. Our struggles. Our patterns. The places that come easily to us and the places where we’re being asked to grow.


    Because the more you understand yourself, the less you have to fight yourself.


    And sometimes the way forward really does begin by looking back.

  • The Secret to Raising Connected Children (ft.  Jordana)

    Some conversations stay with you long after they’re over.


    This is one of them.


    In this deeply honest conversation with Jordana, we talk about what every parent wants but few of us are taught: how to build relationships that make our children feel truly seen, safe, and loved.


    Together, we explore life before and after divorce, the power of communication, the mistakes we all make, and the small moments that shape a child’s heart far more than we realize.


    This isn’t a conversation about being perfect.

    It’s about being present.


    It’s about learning to listen more deeply, love more intentionally, and remember what truly matters at the end of the day.


    Whether you’re married, divorced, remarried, parenting young children, raising teenagers, or simply reflecting on your own childhood, this episode will leave you thinking differently about the people you love most.


    It’s raw.

    It’s real.

    It may bring you to tears.


    Most of all, it will remind you that our greatest legacy isn’t what we build—it’s the relationships we nurture.


    I hope this conversation inspires you to put down your phone, pull your loved ones a little closer, and choose connection today.

  • The Hidden Power of Hair Covering (ft. Debbie Jian)

    In this episode, Yaeli sits down with Debbie Jian, a Kabbalah teacher who has spent more than twenty years studying and teaching Jewish spirituality, to explore the deeper meaning behind hair covering.


    Together, they unpack the spiritual purpose of this ancient mitzvah beyond tradition or obligation. We discuss how hair covering can create a sense of inner dignity, spiritual protection, and sacred feminine presence, while inviting greater peace and abundance into the home.


    Their conversation also explores feminine energy through the lens of Kabbalah, what it means to embody it, how it shapes our relationships, and practical ways to cultivate it in everyday life.


    Whether you currently cover your hair, are curious about the practice, or simply want to better understand the wisdom behind it, this episode offers a thoughtful and inspiring perspective on one of Judaism’s most meaningful traditions.

  • From Challenge to Connection  (ft. Ayala Gross)

    What happens when life doesn’t go according to plan?


    In this episode of Life is Art, I’m joined by Ayala of Pure by Ayala for a deeply honest conversation about the pivots that shape us. We explore how challenges can become invitations for growth, what it means to build a genuine relationship with God, and how spirituality moves from an idea into something we live every day.


    We dive into the wisdom of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the transformative practice of the Tikkun HaKlali, and the timeless lessons of Tomer Devorah. Along the way, we discuss soul connections, resilience, finding meaning in life’s unexpected turns, and what it truly means to live awake rather than on autopilot.


    Whether you’re searching for deeper faith, navigating a major life transition, or simply longing to feel more present and connected, this conversation offers practical wisdom and timeless perspective that will stay with you long after it ends.

  • The Art of the Match (ft. Lisa Elefant)

    In this episode, Yaeli and Lisa Elephant sit down for an honest, heartfelt, and often hilarious conversation about the realities of modern dating and matchmaking. Together, they unpack the challenges singles are facing today, from unrealistic expectations and decision fatigue to fear, vulnerability, and the search for genuine connection.


    As a seasoned shadchan and matchmaker, Lisa shares incredible behind-the-scenes stories from the world of dating, some deeply moving, some surprising, and some downright funny. Through her years of making matches, she has witnessed the beauty, complexity, and humor that come with helping people find their person.


    This conversation explores what truly makes a relationship last, why so many people struggle to connect despite endless options, and how we can approach dating with greater authenticity, self-awareness, and hope. Whether you’re single, married, setting people up, or simply fascinated by human relationships, this episode is filled with wisdom, laughter, and meaningful insights about love, timing, and the art of bringing two souls together.

    Yaeli sits down with Rachel Tuchman to explore the profound role friendship plays in a woman’s life. They discuss why meaningful friendships aren’t a luxury but a necessity, how connection impacts our emotional and physical health, and why investing in our friendships may be one of the most important things we ever do.

  • Swimming Upstream in the Mainstream (ft. Avital Goldschmidt)

    In this episode, Yaeli sits down with Avital Goldschmidt for an honest conversation about what it means to live authentically in a world that often rewards conformity.


    Together, they explore the challenges and gifts of being different, the courage it takes to swim upstream, and why embracing our individuality is one of the greatest acts of self-respect. They discuss how to think for ourselves, stay connected to our values, and navigate life as thoughtful, feeling Jewish women.


    This conversation is about finding the confidence to trust your inner voice, lean into who you truly are, and recognize that what makes you different may be exactly what makes you powerful.
