The Embodied Jewish Woman with Rena Reiser

We want to act appropriately towards the people around us.

We want to be compassionate.

But we're human, and yes, we slip up.

So we apologize… and then we slip up. Again.

Is this a familiar cycle?

In this episode we explore:

• How do we make sense of this cycle?
• Is our apology an "empty promise"?
• What is the role of apologizing?
• What's the difference between apologizing for feelings and apologizing for behaviors?
• How recognizing that you slipped up actually promotes connection.
• What does it mean to be human?
• What's all this got to do with being underfed and tired?

Uncomfortable feelings and emotions?

Sometimes we want to run away.

We repress, numb, ignore them...

Sometimes they come out in tears, anger, overwhelm.

Often we just don't know what to do with them.

Many of my clients have asked me recently...

"What can I do with all my feelings and emotions? What is the healthy response to emotions and feelings?"

In this week's show I'll share with you:

• 3 different ways to deal with emotions that work best for me and my clients.
• Why we thinking emotions will hurt us, but what they're really here to do
• What does it mean to "greet an emotion like it's the first time" and why is this such a fundamental step
• How to uncover the need beneath the emotions
• What it means to be "in a relationship" with our emotions

Purim.

It often becomes a frantic blur.

We get shlepped along in the chaos of Mishloach Manos, food, costumes…

Stretched to our limits, by internal pressure and external pressure.

Often we don't tune into what WE really want to get out of this special day.

But this year Purim can be different.

This week's episode is a mini-workshop to help you explore how YOU can get the most out of YOUR Purim this year.

In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why we go beyond the basic Mitzvos of the day when we don't really want to
• What are your core values and how does exploring them make your Purim different
• How to notice when you're in people-pleasing mode and how it's affecting your Purim
• What is the 80/20 rule and how can it help you get the most out of Purim

"My house is such a mess. I literally can't stay on top of it…I just can't bring myself to be cleaning up all day; I don't value it.... I do want my house to be cleaner. I could get a home organizer and a cleaner, but then it would just be a mess again! I think I need a more inside out approach to it. Is there a mind body answer to becoming more tidy?"

A listener is struggling with keeping her house clean. But this episode is really relevant to any change you want to make in your life.

She wants to know if there is a mind-body approach to help her break through this issue.

Tune into the episode as we explore:

• How is black and white thinking stopping you from moving forward.
• How to create a loose-structure for change, and why it's so important not to be rigid
• How to tune into your body to check if the desire for change is authentic.
• How to use the mind-body connection to create change in your life

Goals. Goals. Goals.

It's all the hype.

But it leaves us with a bunch of questions.

• Should we dream big or be "realistic"?
• How do you know if your goal is too big and just a fantasy?
• What's the first step towards goal setting?
• What's the difference between people who reach their goals and people who don't?
• What is the big hype in goal setting?
• How should I set goals in a way that "works"?

We blame ourselves for "overreacting":

"I just lost it at the car rental lady and I don't know why!"

"I yelled at the kids, and they really weren't doing anything wrong!"

"Why did I get so frustrated with this computer issue?"

We don't want to lose it, but sometimes we feel like we don't have a choice.

Understanding why you have such a BIG reaction to "small" things will impact how you respond in the future.

In this episode we'll explore:

• What is going on in our psyche when we overreact?
• What does our nervous system have to do with all this?
• Why do we react in ways that we'll regret?
• How to gently and incrementally change our reactions?

Many of my clients are grappling with the newborn phase + other kids, and feel challenged by all the juggling, not to mention how to take care of themselves through it all!

When I came across Chaya Shifra's work, I knew I had to bring her wisdom to my community.

Little known fact about me that I don't mention much online: I trained as a lactation counselor + postpartum doula several years before I started doing this work, so my standards for others who work in that department are high. Chaya Shifra fits the bill!

Listen in to this week's episode where I interview Chaya Shifra about her work and how she can help you.
