In this powerful live recording celebrating the podcast's first anniversary, Rivky and Chani gather with their community at Grassroots to explore what lives beyond the stories we tell ourselves, the identities we cling to, and the fears that keep us running.

Through personal stories, they reveal how the abundance we're seeking isn't on the other side of perfection, but on the other side of being willing to look at what's real. They talk about the illusions within illusions, how healing itself can become another mask, and why diagnoses can either move us closer to truth or keep us stuck in a fixed identity.

This isn't about having it all figured out or reaching some mythical "there." It's about the relief that comes from landing in the present moment exactly as you are, with all your mess and your mishigas, and remembering that your experience is valid just because it is.

This episode is an invitation into what Rivky calls the "shehecheyanu frequency"—the understanding that every single moment is a chance to create something new.

In this expansive (and epic) conversation, Rivky and Chani welcome their very first guest, best-selling author and incredible thought leader and human, Cathy Heller, to the podcast. Together they explore what it really means to live in rhythm with divine timing, to embody abundance that feels true, and to trust yourself enough to walk the path only you can walk.

Cathy shares from her own life with honesty and heart, speaking about grief, resilience, and the kind of synchronicities that feel like direct answers from God. She opens up about letting go of people pleasing, choosing authenticity even when it’s uncomfortable, and how abundance isn’t about how much you have but about the light you reveal.

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to earn love, that your soul’s path is sacred, and that intimacy with God is found in being fully present to what is. Listening to Cathy feels like permission to come home to yourself and to trust that you are always in the right place at the right time. She is an incredible soul with an incredible mission, and it's our honor to share this episode with you.

In this episode Rivky and Chani explore what it means to cultivate genuine intimacy with the divine and why we often resist this connection despite our deepest longings for it. They discuss the barriers that keep us from authentic spiritual intimacy—including trauma, shame, and the tendency to use God as a scapegoat for our problems—while distinguishing between performative religious practice and embodied spiritual connection. Through personal stories about confronting difficult truths and learning to stay present through pain, they illustrate how intimacy with God requires letting go of victim consciousness and embracing our role as co-creators of reality. The conversation challenges listeners to examine whether their spiritual practices are actually forms of escapism and offers practical tools for returning to presence, including the powerful framework of "I feel, I create, I am." This episode reveals that true intimacy with the divine isn't about perfection or performance, but about having the courage to get messy, ask questions, and wrestle with the sacred in honest, transformative ways.

In this episode, Rivky and Chani take us behind the scenes of their own friendship, exploring what creates the rare experience of "true friendship" in adulthood. Through vulnerable storytelling, they examine the power of finding someone who can reflect your essence without projection or judgment - what Chani describes as "living in a realm beyond polarity" where you can simply BE without any push or pull. The hosts share practical insights from their friendship journey, including how they navigate triggers, the importance of asking permission before giving feedback, and why humor becomes a gateway to deeper honesty. They offer actionable principles for cultivating authentic friendship, from practicing specific gratitude to allowing friends to grow and change without taking it personally. This episode reveals how adult friendships formed in maturity can offer a unique mirror for who we are now, rather than who we used to be, and demonstrates that the friendship we seek with others must first begin with how we befriend ourselves.

As Rivky and Chani approach the podcast’s one-year anniversary, they return to a topic they love: faith. But not just the kind of faith you think about...the kind you live. The kind that’s felt in your bones, moves your choices, and guides your every step. Chani shares a pivotal turning point at 30, when she realized her reality was shaped by her choices, and how one simple decision to listen to her body led to a deeper trust in her instincts and, ultimately, in God. The conversation explores how faith and action aren't opposites, they're partners. They unpack what it means to manifest from a soul-aligned place, rather than from external pressure, and how tuning to your inner voice is where real magic begins. Rivky introduces the idea of moving from a "trauma vortex" into the "field of abundance," a completely different frequency where infinite possibility lives. They also talk about parenting with faith, and what it means to trust your children’s intuition instead of controlling their paths. Chani shares how a wild, unexpected birth experience shaped her outlook and how surrendering the need to know everything has made space for more trust, humility, and connection. This episode is all about remembering that faith is found in the moments we come back to ourselves, and that walking hand-in-hand with God can change everything.

In this episode, Rivky and Chani explore what it truly means to be in flow and why so many of us unconsciously resist it. Chani opens with a vulnerable story about creating her new business, Grassroots, and realizing she was asking God for abundance while simultaneously blocking her ability to receive it. This leads to a powerful discussion about how flow requires alignment between what we're asking for and what we're actually available to receive. They dive into the misconceptions about flow, particularly the idea that surrender means becoming passive. Instead, they reveal how true flow involves active participation in listening to guidance and taking aligned action. The conversation explores why expanding our capacity to hold what we want is often the real work, and why we sometimes choose to stay stuck because we've been conditioned to believe we're closest to the divine during crisis. Throughout, they emphasize that being in flow doesn't mean life becomes perfect. It means trusting your intuition, taking responsibility for what's truly yours, and allowing yourself to move with the rhythm of your own being rather than forcing outcomes. This episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual depth for anyone ready to examine what might be blocking their natural state of flow and abundance.

In this episode, hosts Rivky and Chani explore how our words literally create the reality we experience and why clear communication is essential for meaningful relationships and personal growth. They share powerful personal stories, including boundary-setting conversations and moments when miscommunication revealed hidden assumptions between partners and family members.

The hosts discuss why we often struggle with clarity—from not knowing our own worth to fear of our impact on others—and offer practical tools for over-communicating with intention rather than assumption. Through examples ranging from specific praise to detailed manifestation practices, they demonstrate how precision in language can unlock deeper connection and help us receive the abundance we're truly worthy of.

This episode is a masterclass in understanding that clarity isn't just about better communication—it's about owning your impact and consciously creating the life you desire through intentional, powerful language.
