What does it mean to thrive truly, not just survive or heal, but to live with joy, dignity, and integrity?

In this episode of the Vessel mini-series, Fally Klein sits down with her longtime friend and collaborator, Nechama Stahl, a kala teacher and life coach, to explore what it looks like when Torah, authenticity, and everyday life intertwine.

• Reframing pain and hard days as part of a rich, dynamic process.

Nechama reflects on her journey as a kala teacher, coach, and seeker, emphasizing the importance of relationship and authenticity in teaching Torah and life skills. They discuss the responsibility of owning one’s choices, the freedom in embracing all parts of the self, and the beauty of finding Torah and joy in the everyday. Together, they highlight that thriving isn’t about bypassing struggle but about integrating it into a dynamic, meaningful life filled with love, dignity, and generosity.

What happens when manifestation becomes more than a practice?

When it turns into a way of life?

In this episode of the Vessel mini-series, Fally sits down with Yosi and Vivian Michaan from Panama to explore Module 7, “Manifestation .” Their story weaves together chance encounters, powerful constellations, and life-changing manifestations, including a very special “seed” that grew into something far beyond what they imagined.

Summary of the Conversation:

Fally, Yosi, and Vivian dive into the depth and beauty of manifestation as explored in Module 7 of Vessel. Vivian recounts her powerful journey of stepping into Vessel almost by “accident,” guided by synchronicities and a willingness to follow her intuition. Together, Yosi and Vivian share how they manifest as a couple: she brings playful passion and desire, while he grounds their vision with emunah and practical steps. They reflect on the lessons of manifesting from alignment rather than from a place of lack, and the joy of being surprised by Hashem’s playful responses. Their stories—ranging from coffee plantations to constellations—reveal how manifestation can lead not only to external blessings but also to deeper connection, purpose, and joy.

About The Guests:

Yosi and Vivian Michaan are Vessel alumni based in Panama. Vivian is a creative adventurer and food photographer specializing in editorial cookbooks, while Yosi brings balance with his grounded emunah and methodical approach. Together, they embody the spirit of manifestation as a couple—trusting, playful, and deeply connected to the unfolding of their journey.

Key Takeaways:

Manifestation is most powerful when it comes from alignment, not from a place of longing.

Trust (emunah) and action work together: take steps, and Hashem guides the rest.

Be specific in your manifestations—but also open to surprise and playfulness.

Collective energy amplifies manifestation; what we do together is stronger than alone.

Gratitude transforms manifestation into a joyful process, not just a desired outcome.

What if the very emotions you’ve been trying to suppress your whole life are actually your superpower?

In this conversation, Devoiry Fruchter, a hypnotherapist, social worker, and one of the “good ones,” explores how we can stop running from our feelings and begin embodying them as sources of insight, power, and healing.
