Facing My Fear of Being Alone
Simi Polonsky, co-founder of The Frock NYC, joins Chavie to reflect on her journey from a stable and joyful childhood in Coogee Beach, Australia to navigating the loss of her first husband, Shua, at just 31. Chavie and Simi explore whether hardship must always be the catalyst to “doing the work, and how Simi’s return to working with her sisters at The Frock, after Shua’s passing, was a vital part of her healing. Simi and Chavie explore the power of creative self-expression, not for the attention, but as a vital outlet for being seen and witnessed. Simi shared how she is grappling divorce being part of her story—while maintaining the gratitude she feels for having Yaniv, her second husband in her life. Simi shares that today is facing her soul’s deepest fear of being alone, and how that is allowing her to model to her daughters that they, too, have the strength to weather these life changing moments. Simi shares the feelings of rage, anger and then also realizing the deep intimacy of “standing alone with Hashem in a dark room” in those moments and how she has never felt closer to Hashem.
Simi Polonsky is a dynamic force of creativity, spirituality, and resilience. With an unshakable passion for expression and connection, she merges artistry with a deep relationship with Hashem, walking through life with purpose and authenticity. A proud solo mother of three, Simi co-founded The Frock NYC, a pioneering fashion brand that helped reshape the conversation around modesty. Though the brand has evolved, its spirit lives on through a vibrant community and creative presence. Through her writing, creative direction, and speaking, Simi shares from the heart—inviting others into honest, soulful connection and empowering women to show up fully in their truth.
