As we age, we evolve (hopefully for the better). But evolving in our religious observance and identity is something almost every Jewish single contends with. How we navigate that change, judgement from others (and even ourselves) is something which David Bashevkin and I discuss in this episode.

In a world where we have access to so many voices (both wanted and unwanted), it can become hard to get in touch with ourselves. Tune in as Ariella Azaraf LCSW, helps us become more in tune with what we truly want and teaches us how to quiet those outside voices in order to hear our own.

We're back with Part 2 of dating stigmas highlighting age differences, interviewing our second couple on this topic. Enjoy!

The unfortunate reality is that there are stigmas with everything, dating included. The first one I'd like to explore is age differences. Why is there a stigma when it comes to dating someone older/younger? How much of it actually bothers us, vs. the pressure we feel from outside influences that it should bother us? In Part 1 of this episode, we hear from a married couple who's age difference between them was an initial struggle, and how they navigated that. 

We don't all struggle to with the same things, but we all struggle. In this weeks episode Ruchi Koval, co founder of the kiruv organization The Jewish Family Experience, mother of seven and motivational speaker, opens up about the challenging paths she's encountered much later on in life. We also discuss how her emunah was affected during those times, and how she's learned to navigate that difficult terrain.

Holidays can be a time of family bonding and celebration, but it can also be a time of wanting to pull your hair out. It’s hard enough struggling with not getting on nerves when we’re all packed into one house, now add in a two/three day Yom Tov as the cherry on top. In this episode, I go through 5 helpful tips to survive and enjoy the holidays with family and relatives. 

Chag Sameach and enjoy!
