In this opening episode of the podcast, I go into details of my upbringing and explaining how I got to where I am today, including how meditation became such an essential piece to my self-healing journey. From my upbringing as an Ultra-Orthodox Jew, to my life today as a pluralistic non-religious lifestyle, I explain where my journey of self-discovery has taken me. There is also a guided meditation at the end of the episode and an introduction to meditation and mindfulness, a topic which will be further expanded upon in this series.
