iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, tablets, smartphones, gaming, and televisions. Screens are built in to our cars and strapped to our wrists. They can bring so much utility and connection into our lives, but is there a cost for being so 'plugged in' all the time?

Our guest today, Kim Cavallo, digital wellness expert, asks us the following question:

“What is it that inspires you to forget about your phone and your screens?”

Kim is a proponent of Digital Wellness. She first became aware of the problem that mobile devices presented when she found herself in the bathroom of a yoga studio reading her emails instead of pressing her hands in down dog. In between anxious impulses to check her phone, the idea for a new app was born.

With her 25 years experience raising money and connecting people to non-profit causes, Kim began to focus on how to encourage those around her to put away their phones and be in the moment.

Kim’s work is positioned at the center of mindfulness and social impact, developing mutually beneficial, strategic partnerships between businesses and non-profit organizations. When Kim puts away her phone, she loves to spend time with her husband + 2 adult sons, doing yoga and traveling.

Mindfulness has become a buzz word in many different circles recently, but what is this craze all about and why is mindfulness being touted as the answer to so many of life’s perplexing problems?

In today’s episode, we delve into this topic - what mindfulness is - both from a spiritual and from a clinical perspective.

Our guest is Rabbi Benjamin Epstein, Ph.D., an experienced psychologist, author, and speaker who blends traditional Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) with cognitive behavioral, spiritual, and acceptance techniques.

He is also the author of "Living in the Presence: A Jewish Mindfulness Guide for Everyday Life," a work designed to provide a practical roadmap to the discovery of purpose.

Drawing from religious and mystical texts, this book and the conversation around this book brings forth universal insights for how to live with more wellness, happiness, and presence.

In this episode, Azriela interviews Kaley Zeitouni, who at a very young age was diagnosed with a devastating disease. 

She recalls her journey over the past two decades - what she did and how she thought in order to deal with the challenges posed by a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and accompanying symptoms from such a young age. 

Her optimism, hope, and dedication to healing has yielded results beyond what any of her doctors could have imagined, and in fact, she is known in the medical community as a 'miracle child.' 

Kaley believes that her healing, while it may appear to be miraculous, is also the result of the practices that she has implemented. She shares some of those practices on the show, detailing how she has prevailed - against all odds. 

For more information about Kaley and her work helping others to heal from illness and grief in both 1:1 and group coaching settings, you can visit her website at www.kaleyz.com

The rates of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain are at an all time high.

Today, more than ever, people of all ages and backgrounds are suffering from the debilitating effects of these illnesses.

In today’s episode, Azriela interviews Dr. Andrew David Shiller, a medical doctor who integrates a variety of healing approaches, both mainstream and complimentary, to bring healing to his patients.

Educated at Harvard Medical School and Duke University, Dr. Shiller combines a research based approach with his personal commitment to connect with patients and inspire healing of the body, and the mind.

Show host, Azriela, shares a snapshot of her own mental health journey which began twenty five years ago, explaining why the information in this episode is so important and needs to be heard, and how meeting a doctor like Dr. Shiller is a dramatically different experience than taking a more standard medical approach.

Above all, she reminds that “There is always hope.” Today's episode is all about the hope to heal, and realizing that hope for as many people as possible.

We can consider our intentions, paying mind to what we're doing -  as today's guest Helen Abelesz explains, not just because other people are doing these things, but because we are consciously choosing.

Perhaps we can take a break from rushing around to go places with the people that we care about, and simply pause to spend time just being with them.

This is an episode about moving from 'doing' to 'being' and how that can bring clarity and breathe new energy and vitality into our lives.

In this week's episode, Azriela speaks with singer - songwriter- inspirational speaker and author, Sam Glaser, all about how to live joyfully. 

Sam shares ways in which we can live joyfully - even through difficult times in life - by creating a metaphorical 'spiritual life raft.' 

He explains that while his spiritual journey has inspired him to be 'all in' to Torah Judaism, he is very much a 'surfer dude' at heart, and closely connects with people of all backgrounds who are seeking. 

You're gonna love what he says - and what he sings! You'll hear a clip of this never before released song that Sam wrote when he was... drumroll... a child! (And would you believe, its all about joy, too!) 

Sam tells us that just as someone who is 'tone deaf' can learn to sing, so too can anyone tap in to their inner seed of spirituality and joy! 

Sam Glaser's soulful music and inspirational writing is a source of immense joy for so many people.  From his best-selling albums to his international tours, he sings and shares to uplift audiences of all ages.
