With Whit

I identify as Jewish, however, do not actively practice the faith. I consider myself a very spiritual person. During my conversation with Rabbi Steve Leder, we discuss the idea that the word spirituality has lost its meaning as it is consistently overused. It has so much meaning that it now has no meaning. Rabbi Leder, who has played a part with my family for a long time, explains the path to spirituality, the true power of gratefulness and how religion is a vessel to maintain spirituality. Additionally, we spoke about grief. Now more than ever, people all over the world are experiencing grief at varying degrees – the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of touch, etc. He explains how important it is to accept grief into your daily life instead of fighting against it. I was so moved by his messages and left this conversation looking at my grief so differently. I hope this can help those who are struggling. 

To learn more about Rabbi Leder’s messages on grief check out "The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift" – his inspiring book about loss based on his most popular sermon. Available wherever books are sold.

I come from a big family! I have three sisters and a brother. Having a big family has its pros and cons, but the biggest pro is that I have so many people to love and be best friends with. Everyone lives in LA except my littlest sister, Jadey Robbins. I miss her constantly. She made a last minute, extended trip to LA, and I, of course, had to bring her on to talk with you all! She is another fave repeat guest of mine. Isn’t she just the sweetest!? She shares all of her must-know beauty tips and products - she is a bigger junkie than I am. We go down memory lane - as best we can. Plus, we share tips for coping with grief. Love you, Jadey!

After some unintentional podcast research - aka I have been listening to a lot of podcasts - I have decided to do more SOLO episodes. I really love talking to y’all from a personal level and it seems to come really naturally to me. Plus, I walk away from all of these feeling very rejuvenated and positive which, as I said in my recent self-care episode, is most important to me right now. Solo episodes also include some light-hearted and fun episodes with my favorite guest, my husband, Timmy! In this episode, we have fun with some rapid fire questions! Hope you enjoy our singing and silliness.

My goals this year are to prioritize my mental health and to check myself when I start to burden my mind with negative self talk. As we all know, this is easier said than done. I have said this a million times, but we have to show up for ourselves before we can show up for others. This is the first of a series of episodes I am going to do where I share updates on my self-care regimen. Recording these are so therapeutic for me, and I hope you find them helpful as well! In this round, I share how I try to calm myself down, reframe my thinking during moments of heavy negativity, how important it is to literally schedule time for yourself and more. Most importantly, I want to mention that I have not mastered these tools yet. These are all things I am working on and striving to hold myself accountable for. I am giving myself love and becoming my biggest advocate, not my worst enemy.

This year has been a struggle for each of us and has challenged everyone’s mental health in some way. The uncertainty of the future is the most anxiety triggering for me. I start to spiral about the ‘what ifs” and then I just feel down. I miss seeing my family and “normalcy”...whatever that even means anymore. I am really thankful that I got to speak with Goali Saedi Bocci, Ph.D. During our conversation we discuss finding balance and setting boundaries with social media, coping with isolation, cognitive distortions and even my own triggers and anxieties.
