Causeway Confessions

This week’s episode starts off exactly how you’d expect, a chaotic Pesach brain dump, funny stories, and us just catching up after not seeing each other. But somewhere between kayaking disasters, grocery store encounters, and our usual tangents, the conversation takes a turn. We get into the Coldplay kiss cam scandal and the interview that came out after, and it really got us thinking about how qu...

Welcome back Causies! This week we tried to record a put together Pesach episode and instead gave you the most us version possible… chaotic, spiraling, laughing mid thought, and somehow still getting deep. We talk about what Pesach actually is, why it still matters, and how the idea of freedom isn’t just about leaving Egypt but about the things we’re still stuck in today like mindset, habits, ego,...

We love hosting, like LOVE, so why does it turn us into anxious, controlling, slightly unhinged versions of ourselves every single time. In this episode we’re fully exposing it all, the overplanning, the perfectionism, the don’t touch anything energy, the menu spirals, and the full blown mental breakdowns that somehow always happen right before guests walk in, like why are we up till 4am cooking a...

We’re kicking off our brand new dating series and starting from the very beginning… how to actually prepare yourself to date. In this episode we talk about the idea of soulmates, how to know if you’re truly ready for marriage, and why dating with intention matters way more than most people think. Tal shares insights from her experience as a matchmaker, we discuss the difference between real deal b...

Purim chaos, dance floor main character moments, and then somehow we end up having a full conversation about happiness in Judaism. In this episode we’re talking about the Jewish month of Adar, how Judaism is obsessed with joy, and why real happiness might look very different than what the world tells us. We get into hidden miracles, the Squidward mindset, a lil gratitude, and why creating small mo...

This episode is our official introduction to Causie Brain Dump aka our very unserious but deeply honest catch ups. We talk podcast tech struggles, cake lady loyalty, workout phases, dinner exhaustion, current music and book obsessions, and all the random thoughts that somehow live in our heads at the same time. Then we get into birth. Real birth stories, what actually happened, the fear, the calm...

This week, we spiral from chaotic contact lens struggles and our newfound bookworm era to our spontaneous Causeway ritual that had us crying, screaming, and spiritually reborn, plus a full recap of our bachelorette adventure, nostalgic throwback music moments, and our inability to stop talking about Bad Bunny after the Super Bowl halftime show which somehow turns us into accidental pop culture and...

We used to think “religious girls” were kinda weird. Like skirts, seminary, separate weddings??? Not for us, thank you! And then somehow, slowly, awkwardly, and very unintentionally, we became them. BH! In this episode, we’re sharing the real story of how our Jewish observance evolved over time without an overnight "flip", without pressure, and without losing ourselves in the process. We...

In this episode, we’re talking honestly about our pregnancy journeys: from the moment we found out, through each trimester, cravings, endless doctor appointments, and the very real physical and emotional shifts that come with growing a life. We share what surprised us, what felt harder the second time around for Tal, what actually helped, what we wish someone had told us sooner, and how faith, pra...

We catch up after Hanukkah and immediately start bouncing between airports, TSA encounters, phobias we probably shouldn’t admit, fire alarms, gas stations, and whatever else our brains decide to unload. We end with a conversation on challah: the bread, the ritual, and what makes it feel holy to us. You don’t need to follow every turn, just listen and let it unfold.

We catch up after Thanksgiving and somehow end up talking about everything from turkey opinions to nosebleeds, flying cockroaches, and why tennis players make those noises. And then we shift into an unexpectedly grounding conversation about Jewish gratitude and the small things that make life feel different. Somehow all of this makes sense together. Trust us.

Meet your hosts Tal and Sara, hear how we became besties, and uncover the surprisingly emotionally healing ritual we performed on the Lehman Causeway. We also share how this podcast accidentally happened and why we somehow thought it was a good idea. Whatever this show turns into from here… this is where it starts.
