Welcome to the latest episode of the Oh My God Podcast—a space where faith, culture, and identity intersect to create meaningful and thought-provoking conversations.

In this episode, host Zelda sits down with a truly inspiring guest, Karen Gotzlan, to explore what it means to be a Jewish woman in today’s ever-changing world. Karen’s story is one of discovery, courage, and authenticity. Together, Zelda and Karen unpack the unique challenges and joys of embracing one’s faith and cultural identity in modern times.

Karen takes us on a heartfelt journey, sharing pivotal moments that shaped her Jewish identity. From transformative spiritual awakenings to memorable adventures—like learning life lessons through driving—Karen opens up about the experiences that have deepened her connection to her roots.

A key highlight of this conversation is Karen’s exploration of how yoga has become a grounding force in her life, blending physical practice with spiritual fulfillment. She also touches on her personal decision to wear a hair covering, providing an intimate look at how tradition and individuality can coexist in beautiful harmony.

Throughout the episode, Zelda and Karen examine themes of personal growth, the power of self-discovery, and the balance between honoring tradition and staying true to oneself. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how faith and culture can shape our journeys, not as constraints, but as empowering tools for authenticity and spiritual alignment.

Whether you're exploring your own identity, curious about Jewish traditions, or simply looking for a meaningful and uplifting listen, this episode offers insights and inspiration for all.

Tune in, reflect, and join us on this engaging exploration of faith, culture, and personal growth.

In this insightful episode of the Oh My God podcast, host Zelda Lebovitz welcomes Rachel Rosendorff, also known as the Magnetic Mother, to explore the profound journey of being a Jewish woman today.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Oh My God Podcast!

In this heartfelt episode of the season, host Zelda Lebovits chats with Eda Schottenstein, aka "Multi Role Woman" on Instagram. They dive into Eda's journey from a distracted kid dealing with undiagnosed ADHD to a successful psychotherapist and ADHD coach.

Eda shares her ups and downs, including going back to school at 30 and navigating life as a Jewish woman today. They discuss the challenges of hair covering in Jewish tradition, the importance of self-care and being present, and how faith and trust play a role in daily life.

This episode is full of insights for anyone trying to juggle multiple roles while seeking deeper meaning in their spiritual journey.

Welcome to the Oh My God Podcast, Season TWO, with your Co-Hosts Zelda Lebovits and Chana Rochel Cohen Portnoy!

In Season 1, the podcast aimed to talk about success in the face of failure, modern Judaism, and real life. Season 2 will deliver the same message, but even more potently.

Zelda and Chana Rochel have individually and collectedly been challenged by the Jewish system they grew up in. Through their evolution, questions, failures, mistakes, and heartbreaks, they have begun to untangle much of what was keeping them in survival mode so they could truly be set free to thrive.

This is what they’ll dissect each week with you: The Jewish journey. Real. Raw. And vulnerable. Because that is the only thing that can truly change lives, and maybe even save them. You’re only one episode away from being more honest with yourself.
