In this episode, we return to the conversation with Yochanon Polter, the founder of the Fresh Start Retreat, and together we delve even deeper into the complexities and nuances of being highly sensitive. Building upon our previous discussion two years ago, where we first explored the unique experiences of highly sensitive individuals, we have been humbled by the overwhelming response and feedback we received from our listeners. It became evident that there is a growing need for further exploration and guidance on how to navigate life as a highly sensitive person, parent a highly sensitive child, or maintain a fulfilling relationship with a highly sensitive partner. With this in mind, I sit down with Yochanon once again, ready to uncover new insights and offer practical strategies to help individuals, families, and couples thrive in a world that often seems designed for the non-sensitive majority. Together, we tackle the burning questions and address the challenges faced by highly sensitive people, drawing upon Yochanon's extensive experience and compassionate approach. Through our conversation, we aim to shed light on the true power and gifts that lie within sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, self-care, and healthy boundaries. We explore practical tools and techniques that can be implemented in daily life to alleviate overwhelm, manage sensory input, and cultivate emotional resilience. Whether you are a highly sensitive person seeking validation and guidance or a loved one eager to better understand and support the highly sensitive individuals in your life, this episode offers a wealth of wisdom and practical advice. Join us as we navigate the depths of sensitivity, empowering you to embrace your authentic self and thrive in a world that is gradually becoming more aware of the beauty and significance of being highly sensitive.

In this unique series, we're stepping away from our usual themes like mental health, parenting, marriage, and self-improvement to focus on a matter of great importance – the situation in Israel. We understand this shift in content might be unexpected, but the current situation in Israel calls for our attention. We firmly believe that addressing global issues is a path to personal growth and positive change. These upcoming episodes feature stories, experiences, and voices that hold great significance in the context of Israel. Despite this change, our commitment to positivity and uplifting content remains unwavering. We're not diving into difficult or distressing topics; instead, we aim to introduce you to inspiring individuals in both Israel and the United States who are actively making a difference. They are engaged in fundraising, raising awareness, and advocating for Israel during these critical times. Whether you're a long-time listener of our regular content or joining us for the first time, we invite you to explore this different dimension of our podcast through these "Voices for Israel" episodes. Let's unite in our thoughts and support for Israel while continuing our journey of self-improvement and personal growth. In today's episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Adele, an influential figure on Instagram who has single-handedly become a strong advocate for Israel. She has made a significant impact by organizing fundraising efforts for Israel, raising an impressive $100,000 alongside her followers. Adele is also the founder of Life’s Looking Good, a Creative Agency dedicated to helping individuals elevate their daily lives and digital presence. To contribute to Adele's efforts, you can donate to her brother Ezzie’s unit fund https://www.jgive.com/new/en/usd/donation-targets/110165 and support the soldiers' fund to make a positive impact in Israel. https://www.charidy.com/beitharabi/Braai Raizel Schusterman is a Positive Psychology-based life coach, Chabad Shlucha, and mother of 7.

In honor of Hey Teves, I share with you all this Episode with these two incredible & wise women, Mrs. Sara Morozow & Mrs. Rivka Slonim . I purposely released this epiosde today on Hey Teves "A Yomtov of the books". One of the ways we celebrate this special day is by purchasing new sefarim/books for our homes. May I suggest the perfect book for your library,Holy Intimacy By Sara Morozow & Rivkah Slonim. This book is available to be purchased on Amazon, and is on sale today! Intimacy is vital to authentic marital relationships and profoundly affects each of us in deep and meaningful ways. Bringing this ever important subject to the forefront of Jewish conversation, Morozow and Slonim beckon the reader to join them in an exploration of the spiritual side to intimacy. Expertly weaving together Torah, halacha, chassidut, and psychology, they imbue the conversation with inspirational insights and practical advice. With an empathetic emphasis on contemporary issues — from the effect of social media on a couple’s intimacy to the dangers of pornography and other forms of objectification of women’s bodies, from the importance of female sexual pleasure to scientific breakthroughs regarding fertility — this groundbreaking book is vital and inspirational reading for women of all ages, levels of observance, and Jewish backgrounds. In today's episode I sit down and discuss all things Intimacy, marriage & relationships with these two amazing women.
