THE JEWISH GIRLS CLUB PODCAST

Why do we keep handing our happiness to other people, and why does it always end in disappointment? In this episode, we're talking about the spiritual law that whatever you make your source will eventually be tested. Through the wisdom of Kabbalah, i explain why no person, job or achievement can fill a space made for the creator, why giving from lack is really taking, and how to be as grateful...

Your mindset isn't something you have, it's the lens every experience arrives through. You've never once experienced reality directly, only your mind's version of it. So if your sense of self is built on borrowable ground, a relationship, a job, a body, someone's approval, then anything that can be moved can move you. This episode is about why that foundation matters more than...

We’ve been sold the idea that the more we suffer, the more we grow, that fun is what happens once we’ve earned it. This week, I’m breaking that belief, because there is no prize for suffering. I get into why joy is the highest spiritual vibration in Kabbalah, and what actually happens in your brain when you let yourself have fun. We talk about the guilt so many of us carry, especially as women, th...

You asked, so I’m answering 🤍 This week’s episode is a little different, no topic, just a very honest Q+A. I’m answering your questions about love, relationships, faith, spirituality, purpose, and everything in between. Some of these questions made me think, some made me laugh, and a few took us way deeper than I expected. Basically, consider this one big girls’ chat. Nothing is off limits. Put y...

Elul is the last stretch before Rosh Hashanah, the window when change is most available. This episode breaks down what this time actually means, the practices to do before the new year, and how to finally turn “this is what I want” into a year that actually looks different.

When I was nine years old, my mum told me something that would shape the way I saw myself for the rest of my life: “The way you look will always be the least interesting thing about you.” In a world that teaches women to obsess over how we look, this episode is about remembering what our bodies were actually created for. We’re talking body image, the exhausting pursuit of becoming “enough” through...

Your prayers aren’t being ignored. Sometimes the thing you’re begging for can’t be held by who you are yet, and the waiting is the Creator building the vessel. Drawing on Omer Shemtov’s story, Kabbalah, and Neuroscience, this is the reframe that changes how you pray: stop asking for what you want. And start asking what He wants from you.

We are our own harshest critics. No one will ever have to criticise a woman, because she’s already doing it to herself. This week i’m going into self-judgment, negative self-talk, and the voice in our heads that shapes how we see ourselves, through Kabbalah and through neuroscience. Because you were never meant to shame yourself into someone better. you were meant to love yourself all the way ther...

In this episode i’m walking you through what a breakup actually is, spiritually, kabbalistically, and neurologically. why tzimtzum means the empty space isn’t empty. why the vessels had to shatter. why some relationships are enormous and short. what the brain scans actually show about heartbreak and why the grief you’re in right now is the exact process building the version of you your person will...

Someone says something that stings, and before you’ve decided anything, your chest is tight and the words are already out. That space between what happened and what you did feels like nothing. Kabbalah says it’s the most important ground you own. Neuroscience says it’s about a fifth of a second. In this episode we go into the gap. Why your alarm system fires before your judgment does. Why restrain...

What if the biggest glow-up of your life has nothing to do with your appearance? In this episode, we’re redefining beauty through the lens of Judaism, Kabbalah, neuroscience, and psychology. We explore why science associates beauty with symmetry, why Kabbalah teaches that true beauty is alignment, and how authenticity, purpose, and inner peace shape the way we experience ourselves—and the way the...

What do you do when life stops making sense? In this episode, we’re talking about faith in the moments that truly test it. The moments when your heart is broken, your plans fall apart, your prayers feel unanswered, and it feels like the end of the world. Drawing on Judaism, Kabbalah, psychology, and some of life’s hardest lessons, we’ll explore how to find peace in uncertainty, what is actually in...

In this episode, we’re talking about love, not the kind that’s performative or surface-level, but the kind that transforms you. The kind that teaches you softness, truth, trust, and what it really means to be seen. From Jewish spirituality to modern relationships, this episode is a deep conversation about what Judaism really says about love. Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.in...

You’re doing everything right… so why isn’t your life working the way you want it to? In this episode, we’re talking about kavanah, intention, and why your energy is everything. From a Jewish and Kabbalistic perspective, it’s not just what you do, it’s where you’re doing it from. I break down how your intention shapes your energy, how that energy is felt by everyone around you, and why you can’t f...

In this episode, I’m breaking down what real confidence actually is, from a Jewish and Kabbalistic perspective. We talk about why confidence built on external things will always fall, how to build unshakable self-trust, and the deeper truth: that your confidence comes from knowing who you are at you...

Everyone says “everything happens for a reason.” But what does that actually mean? In Judaism, there is a powerful concept called Hashgacha Pratit, Divine Providence, the idea that Hashem is involved in every detail of your life. In this episode, we break down the deeper meaning of this idea through Jewish wisdom, Kabbalah, and neuroscience, and explore how believing that nothing is random can com...

Have you ever asked yourself: “Why does this keep happening to me?” The same relationship patterns. The same emotional triggers. The same lessons appearing again and again in different forms. According to Judaism and Kabbalah, this isn’t random. Every soul enters this world with a Tikkun, a specific spiritual lesson it came here to learn and refine. Your life is not a series of accidents, but a ca...

In this episode, I share six Kabbalistic insights that deeply shifted the way I understand ego, forgiveness, purpose, and the challenges we face in our lives, as inspired by my recent Kabbalah study with Madonna. We explore the soul’s mission (tikkun), the internal “Opponent,” and what it really means to become a vessel that can hold more Light, and how these ancient teachings can help us respond...

We’re diving into the power of your self-concept; the beliefs you hold about who you are, what you deserve, and what’s possible for your life. Most of these beliefs were formed in childhood, shaped by what we were told about ourselves by parents, teachers, and the world around us. But what if the story you’ve been living by… isn’t actually yours? We explore how your self-concept quietly creates yo...

There’s a quote I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: A person’s personal growth is directly tied to how much truth they’re willing to face about themselves. Judaism teaches that real growth comes from emet: truth. Not pretending, not bypassing, not sugar-coating. Honest self-awareness. Hashem already knows the truth about us. We’re not hiding anything from Him, only from ourselves. And in Kabbal...
