“Belonging is being accepted for being you. Fitting in is being accepted for being like everyone else.” - Brene Brown
As we head back to school we thought we should take a break and talk about belonging. This impacts our children and it impacts us. Today we talk about the kids. Don’t be surprised if we talk a bit about our inner voice and our authentic self. .
The challenge is that belonging isn’t measured by simply participating in activities like eating dinner together as a family, showing up to a school building, or joining a group. Belonging is measured by how we feel about ourselves and others once we get there.
We spend time in this episode sharing the ways we can start building a sense of belonging at home. It is not the easiest thing to do but we can start with simple steps like making rhythms and memories. We can give our children, and children in our lives a safe place to belong.
Just take it from Mister Rogers, who knew how important it was for children to know that “I like you just the way you are.” And join us this week as we talk about how we can help the children in our lives find that sense of belonging.

Interested in self-care and boundaries and how they go together? Join us today for the final episode of Season 6, our journey into busyness and self-worth. Today we take on the potentially confusing and often abused topic of self care. Setting boundaries is one of the best and most cost effective ways of participating in actual self-care. All of this leads us to address our role in the busyness we engage in within our lives.
Join us today for all of this and more on We Go Boldly.

“You don’t always have to be doing something. You can just be, and that’s plenty.” - Alice Walker
Buckle up friends. This is a big and very important conversation. Tovah and Rielly talk about white supremacy, the patriarchy, and even capitalism. Truth be told they are all connected. We are definitely not the first to have these thoughts and thus we will be directing you to a lot of great resources including but not limited to Tricia Hersey with the @napministry.
In case you’re wondering what this has to do with burn out, don’t worry, it has everything to do with busyness. The report found that 68 percent of working moms say they’re burned out compared with 42 percent of working dads. Not only are we working more and spending more time with our children—we have less help. This leads to our conversation on the human giver syndrome as recently highlighted in the book Burnout by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski.
Life feels hard because it is hard. It is time to recognize the system we live in is part of the reason. Whether you’re new to thinking about these issues or not these are important conversations to have and we are glad to have you!

It's time to get serious…of course that’s what we’ve been doing all season but this week we get serious about perfectionism and “pinterest parenting.” What happens when we set goals and achievements for our kids without reflecting on what our kids need? What happens when we set unrealistic expectations for ourselves as parents? When we demand perfectionism of ourselves, what are we teaching our kids?
There are some truths shared today (truths that Tovah wants to ignore). We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of perfection parenting. We also talk about how we can do things differently.
Join us this week as we all work on making sure we can navigate parenthood and life without perfectionism.

All season long we are continuing our conversation around busyness and self-worth. This week we are going even deeper. We are thrilled to continue our interview series with a fellow podcaster and parenting expert, Jordana Horn Gordon.
Jordana Horn has been deemed a ‘parenting expert’ by both the NBC Today Show and Fox and Friends…so it must be true! She’s host of the popular parenting podcast “Call Your Mother,” and interviews parents on everything from celebrity to addiction, and host of the podcast “Characters on the Couch” which takes a deep dive into the psychological makeup of popular TV characters. Jordana is a contributing editor at the Jewish parenting site Kveller, and has written extensively on parenting for The Today Show, The Washington Post and The New York Times, among other publications.
She has been a panelist and panel moderator across the country on parenting. She studied English and communications at the University of Pennsylvania, went to graduate school for international relations at the London School of Economics, and got her J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She is a retired attorney and past New York bureau chief for Israel’s largest English-language newspaper, The Jerusalem Post.
She’s mother to six children aged 7-18, and has the not-insubstantial undereye bags to prove it. In her spare time, she reads and tries to save American democracy through voter registration and engagement.
Join us today for this most excellent conversation with Jordana!

Welcome to this week’s conversation all about goals and achievement. Why do we set all of these goals? What are we trying to prove? Rielly and Tovah are fans of goal setting as much as the next person, actually quite a lot more, but they are not fans of goals for the sake of goals. That is next level achievement culture getting in the way.
Achievement Culture and setting goals for the sake of setting goals rather than to actually achieve our dreams is not the path to a limitless life.
We talk all about the rat race, what we do to our kids in school, and how we can decide when to opt out of the achievement culture. The good news is that you CAN achieve your goals and be present!
Join us as we talk about how we can have your cake and eat it too. No seriously, there is a way to set goals that matter without getting caught in the rat race.

We Go Boldly into uncharted territory today with a special guest co-host! As we dig into the difficult world of comparisons we are so fortunate to have a dear friend of the show, Bunmi Emenejo join us on this episode. We explore the ins and outs of what it means to spend your life constantly comparing yourself to either yourself and/or to others.
We discuss the ways in which we sabotage our own happiness by consistently comparing our current state to what we expected, imagined or were told to want. Thinking and talking through how to combat the urge to wonder “what if, if only, I should just” and all the other ways that we compare our current lives to what might have been.
Beyond self-comparison we often find ourselves comparing our circumstances to those of the people around us in real life, online, on social media, at work and everywhere in between. These types of endless comparisons lead us to stray from our own purpose, feel insecure, depressed, unworthy and down. We fail to recognize our own strengths as we spend our time comparing our characteristics to people we know nothing about.
Tune in to hear our conversation all around busyness, self-worth, comparisons and don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe while you’re there!

Today we are boldly exploring the consequences of the proverbial putting all your eggs in other peoples baskets. Yes we are mixing metaphors and loving it. In our continued discussion of busyness and self worth we examine the pitfalls of putting your self-worth in someone else's hands.
The truth is we all have been there to some degree at some point in time. Seeking external validation to confirm that we are worth it, our dreams are worth it, our existence is valued and cherished. What happens when we fail to build ourselves up without all that outside help though? Or when we never learn how?
On today’s episode we dive into that dark and doomy topic to think about the ramifications of a world where we don’t know our own worth. There are things we can do to build our self worth, re-examine the way we look at the world, change our lens and try again. There is always hope, and homework, to help you get where you want to go. Tune in today!
