Introducing RAW DMC - raw, real, deep meaningful conversations with people who have faced challenges, taken the road less traveled, embraced risks and made changes without guarantees, while pursing their vision of a truly great life.

Today's conversation is with Rena Shoshana Forester, a teacher and healer based in Israel. She shares her inspiring journey - from the culture shock of living alone in Asia to overcoming a traumatic motorcycle accident, PTSD, and health issues. We talk about a wide range of topics, including the role of divine timing, the wisdom of the body, and the importance of self-compassion, as well as the complexities of Jewish and Israeli identity in the wake of October 7th.

In this final episode of the series 30 Ways to Happy Stronger Days, I dive into the importance of our surroundings and how they shape our experiences. From the jewelry we wear to the art on our walls, these seemingly small choices can profoundly impact our journey through life's ups and downs. I share personal stories about the significance of meaningful objects and how they serve as reminders of strength and resilience. We'll explore how to mindfully curate our environment to support our well-being and tap into our inner strengths. Whether it's the music we listen to, the relationships we nurture, or the books we read, each element plays a role in crafting a life filled with positivity and purpose. Join me as we wrap up this series with a renewed sense of purpose, firm in the knowledge we each have a lot of strengths to both create a bright future and handle any challenges that come our way.
