Rebbetzin Chaya Chava Pavlov is the founder and director of She'arim College of Jewish Studies for Women, located on Jerusalem. Rebbetzin Pavlov talks about the reasons why we are jealous, and gives us tools and strategies to work through this often counterproductive, albeit human, emotion. One of the three reasons that Rebbetzin Pavlov states is the root of our jealousy, is that we feel something in our life is missing and someone else has it! Among the multiple strategies that she offers to help us move past our jealousy is that we need to strengthen our emuna muscles: Each and every day, Hashem gives us exactly what we need, including our blessings AND our challenges. Rebbetzin Pavlov does say that we are sometimes able to use our jealous feelings for productive purposes. To do this, we need to be of the mindset to figure out what we REALLY want without taking away from what the other person has.

Rebbetzin Braha Bender is an excellent storyteller. She shares with us the story of Purim, in richness and in depth. She talks about how G-d concealed his presence throughout the story, although He was really there, every step of the way, guiding the Jews to salvation.

We all have challenges in life. In this engaging interview, Rebbetzin Maryashie Deren, Chabad emissary at the Chabad of Greenwich, Connecticut, teaches us how to develop trust in G-d through 7 steps:
1. G-d is full of compassion and love
2. G-d is attentive and never ignores us
3. No one knows us better than G-d
4. Any harm or benefit that we receive is all from G-d
5. G-d can get us out of any situation, no matter how dire or hopeless
6. Only G-d knows what we really need (better than we know for ourselves)
7.We are always deserving of G-d's blessings
The book that Rebbetzin Maryashie talks about in the interview is Shaar Habitachon--The Gates of Trust. Let go and let G-D!

Nearly everyone has heard of stocks and bonds, but sometimes investors feel that they could profit more from alternative investments.
This week Doug chats with Stefan von Imhof, co-founder of Alts.co, about alternative investments.
Stefan believes that alternative investments are a powerful way to grow your money, compared to other investment classes. Learn about active quick flips, passive buy & holds, and cashflow-producing assets.
Listen to the show to learn about investments that are on the opposite end of the spectrum… the more conservative, but not boring, Certificates of Deposit (CDs).

Rebbetzin Dena Schusterman is the rebbetzin of Chabad Intown in Atlanta, Georgia. Rebbetzin Dena offers practical pointers on truly connecting with our children, as opposed to controlling them. Authentic connection leads to a strong parent-child relationship and ultimately leads your child to be more willing to cooperate you because they have formed a bond with you. She also talks about empathetic listening and really feeling the pain of your child so that they feel that you understand them and that you are not dismissing them. Rebbetzin Dena talks about the 3 brain states: Reptilian Brain (am I safe?), Emotional Brain (am I loved?), and the Pre-Frontal Cortex (makes meaning from our circumstances.) My favorite quote from this interview: Rejection is Hashem's protection! Really a strong and informative interview for those who have children or grandchildren!

Rebbetzin Gevura Davis of Aish Philadelphia talks about a Jewish woman's true beauty. It's not about hair, nails and shoes. True beauty is not actually even about outer appearance. It's about your own inner essence of beauty that comes out in your daily life. Your true essence must be good in order for you to be authentically beautiful. In the words of Torah wisdom, true beauty is achieved when a person's insides match their outsides. It's a woman's attitude toward her own beauty that makes her attractive. Rebbetzin Gevura also talks about how Hashem braided Chava's hair on erev Shabbos in order to make her look beautiful. This is one of the reasons that we braid challah on Shabbos in order to make it special.

Natalie hosts Kevin "Zvi" Klagge who made aliyah from Hollywood, Fl - Ramat Beit Shemesh in summer 2021, and says "everything just fell into place" regarding work, housing, and schools for the kids. He and his wife have become the examples of successful aliyah for their friends back in the U.S. and while some are following in their footsteps, others are choosing to stay. The community leadership in some U.S. places do not encourage aliyah, and there is also misinformation out there. Natalie shares some thoughts about how each one of us can evolve here, and be part of a growing thriving Israel, no matter where we choose to settle and no matter what we accomplish.

Rivka Malka Perlman is a Transformation Life Coach. Her path was born through her own personal transformation that came as a result of a time in her life when she literally needed to decompose and become someone new. The pain that she experienced in her own life eventually led to her receiving the gifts that she always wanted, but fell short of. Those were the gifts of emunah, self love, boundaries, deep meaningful healthy friendships, forgiveness, an understanding of femininity, and a wellspring of joy. It's these gifts that Rivka Malka shares and teaches in her work with hundreds of women all over the world.
In this powerful and truly engaging interview, Rivka Malka talks to us about living our life mission. She also speaks to us about getting support from other women who can really "see" us for who we are, and who can reflect back to us our good qualities; women who have compassion for us. When we are able to get the support we need from other women, and also, when we are able to fill void in ourselves, we are able to be better wives to our husbands and mothers to our children. A woman's job is to be happy--when she is happy, that happiness spills over to her family and others around her, thereby uplifting everyone.
Rivka Malka also tells us that balance is done over time. We can't juggle all the balls in one day. We need to be in the flow of what Hashem sends to us.
Rivka Malka also talks to us about her Fun and Done Advanced Coaching and Business Training Program which helps coaches, teachers, and small business owners use the skills and knowledge that they already have, and market their skills to potential clients. This program will help people create their own website with personalized branding and logo. It also will give them the support that they need to get more clients.

Bracha Goetz, a popular author of inspirational books for children, did what many people struggle to do everyday...she overcame an eating disorder. For those who have been down this road--emotional eating, binge eating, bulemia, anorexia, overeating--Bracha offers hope in the form of the Pleasure Ladder. Bracha tells her story of disordered eating while she was a student at Harvard University. She explained that the purpose of life is to experience the greatest pleasure possible. She refers to the 5 levels of pleasure that can be found on the Pleasure Ladder. These 5 levels of pleasure correspond to the 5 levels of our soul.
Level 1 (the lowest level corresponds with the Nefesh soul): Physical Pleasure--this includes natural foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, meats, etc., as well as movement like walking in nature and doing yoga.
Level 2 (corresponds with the Ruach soul): Love--focusing on the virtues of another person fills us with an emotional feeling toward that person.
Level 3 (corresponds to the Neshama soul): Doing things that are meaningful, like acts of chessed (acts of kindness) where we help others.
Level 4 (corresponds to the Chaya soul): Creativity--bringing out our uniqueness by using our G-d given talents and putting them to action in this world.
Level 5 (the highest level corresponds to the Yechida soul): Being in a state of transcendence, otherwise known as a state of awe where you feel connected to yourself, to those around you, and to Hashem.
Bracha Goetz wrote a book teaching kids to make healthy food choices, enjoy exercise, and get enough sleep to stay healthy. This book is called Let's Stay Healthy. All of Bracha's books can be found on this website:

Rebbetzin Rachel Isaacs, the rebbetzin at the Rebibo Center for Jewish life in Phoenix, Arizona, talks about the importance of being yourself. We are all unique individuals created by G-d. We all have a unique purpose in life. When we feel comfortable in our skin, we can feel free to be who we are, and only then, can we accomplish what we are meant to do in this world. Everyone contributes to the world with their own talents and abilities. Rebbetzin Rachel also talks about helping our kids feel like they belong and also to feel proud of who they are. There is a balance between fitting in with everyone else and still being true to yourself. Children (and adults alike) need to be the best version of themselves.
