In this stirring discussion, we shed light on the often overlooked Middle East conflict that has drastically consumed our lives. From the shocking events of October 7th to the horrifying and dismissive reactions of many, our discussion is fueled by our profound investment and outrage over the situation. It's appalling to witness people tearing down posters of hostages and dismiss the horrific events as if they were justified. Listen in as we dissect how people can be so easily influenced and how this has led to a disturbing call for Jewish genocide. What we discuss:  (00:01 - 00:25) Unexpected Events in the Middle East (03:25 - 05:21) Horrific Justification of Terrorism (07:33 - 08:21) Funding and Lack of Jewish Awareness (12:29 - 14:02) Exploring Anti-Semitism Within the Woke Community (18:36 - 20:22) Israel's Geopolitical Situation and Misinformation Find more from Jen: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen  Books: https://www.jennifercohen.com/books Speaking: https://www.jennifercohen.com/speaking-engagement

Today's guest was inspired to become a Therapist because of how much she learned from being in therapy herself!  Dr. Nadine Macaluso left her abusive marriage with the famous Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfot, and created a new life for herself and her family. 
Dr Nae opens up about her early days with Jordan, how she got the courage to leave, and what led her to go back to school to get her PHD.  She gives us great advice on the do's and don'ts of healthy relationships and breaks down what narcissism really means. 
Her book, Run Like Hell:  A Therapist's Guide to Recognizing, Escaping and Healing From Trauma Bonds, will be out January 2024.  Listen to the pod and get a sneak peek of what it's all about?

Today's guest is Rod Blagojevich, the former American politician who served as the 40th Governor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009 as a member of the Democratic Party.  Blagojevich's political career was marked by controversy and scandal. He was arrested, impeached and then convicted on multiple counts of corruption, including wire fraud and extortion. After 2 trials, He was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison in 2011.
After serving nearly eight years in prison, his sentence was commuted by then-President Donald Trump in February 2020, and he was released.  Blagojevich's case remains a subject of controversy and debate, questioning whether or not he is a symbol of political corruption and the abuse of power, or is he someone who was failed by a corrupt system. 
He discusses the political stories of the day, the  current state of the Democratic Party and on Trump's chances for re-election.  We talk about his life before politics, how he got into it and where it took a wrong turn. 
He candidly opens up about his life in jail, what it was like to finally have a chance at freedom again, and what, if anything, he plans to do to reverse his narrative. Like him or hate him, this is hands down one of our most fascinating and in depth interviews thus far.
