I Am Jewtiful Podcast

This week on What’s the Nus, we’re covering a wide range of conversations—from emerging health narratives and the way they’re being presented, to government decisions that directly impact families, to cultural patterns that reveal where we are as a society, and global developments that deserve more than just a headline glance. We take the time to slow things down and actually look at what’s happen...

This week on Spill the P, we close out Sefer Vayikra with Bechukotai—a parsha that doesn’t just teach… it confronts. At its core, this isn’t about reward and punishment—it’s about alignment and choice. What does it actually mean to “walk with” the Creator? And what happens when we don’t? We unpack the deeper meaning behind divine law, free will, and the misunderstood language that has shaped gener...

In this episode of Spill the P, we understand that Parsha  Behar isn’t just about land—it’s about alignment. We’re shown cycles of rest and reset, but more importantly, we’re shown what happens when we interfere too much. Over-pruning. Overcorrecting. Trying to control growth instead of allowing it. And in that process, we lose ourselves. Then comes Yovel—the return. Not a party. A reset. Everythi...

We also get into parenting culture and...

There is a quiet shift that happens when you stop looking outward for direction—and begin listening inward. In this episode of Still Salty. Still Lit. Still Chosen., Lielle and I explore her journey of becoming—moving through the layers of growing up, navigating community expectations, and slowly stepping into her own identity. We speak about the complexities of adolescence, the push and pull of b...

In Parsha Emor, we move beyond instruction and into connection—learning that holiness isn’t about perfection, but about presence. That impurity isn’t something to fear, but something to understand as a moment of disconnection. We explore the beauty of human connection over rigid rules, the responsibility of holding light after receiving it, and the quiet power of simply being a steady presence in...

This week’s episode of What’s the Nus? sits in a space that’s a little less comfortable—but a lot more necessary. Because when you look at everything happening across politics, culture, and society right now, it’s hard to ignore that something feels off. From major public events to everyday behavior, there’s a growing disconnect between what’s happening and how people are reacting to it. And inste...

Acharei forces one question: Are you actually living in truth—or just pretending to look like you are? You can wear the clothes. Say the right things. Look spiritual. But what you give—your words, your actions, your energy—is what defines you. We get into misalignment, accountability, lashon hara, emotional reactions, and the uncomfortable reality that most people don’t want to admit who they are…...

Kedoshim is the moment where alignment becomes identity. In this episode of Spill the P, we move beyond atonement into embodiment—exploring what it means to live as a vessel of light.

We also examine the deeper meaning behind sages...

This week on What’s the Nus?, we’re looking at what “progress” actually means when policy, politics, and perception start to blur.

In this episode of Spill the P, Metzora takes everything from internal experience and shows us how it becomes external reality. What we carry doesn’t stay contained—it expresses itself in behavior, relationships, and the spaces we live in. We break down the purification process as a map for change: releasing old patterns, interrupting automatic responses, and consciously choosing how you show up m...

This episode we’re unpacking Tazria, and it comes down to one thing: what you absorb, you eventually become. Tazria is about “seeding,” which means your environment is always shaping you—whether you realize it or not. We get into how emotions vs. actions work, why internal patterns take longer to shift, and how behavior is almost never random. It’s built. So when something shows up externally, it’...

Shemini is not about arrival—it’s about responsibility. In this episode, we explore the eighth day as a state beyond creation—where alignment becomes embodiment and light becomes something you must carry, not chase.

[Late Upload] This week on What's the Nus?, we're moving through a world that feels just slightly off-center. Where food is labeled wrong, "organic" may not be what it claims to be, and the things we're told are good for us might deserve a second look. It's a conversation about what we're consuming - physically, mentally, and culturally. And then the stories unfold. The kind that make you laugh fo...

[Late Upload] Parsha Tzav is where things get real. It's not just about offerings, it's about responsibility. Responsibility for your actions, your awareness, your growth, and your alignment.

This week on Spill the P, we dive into Vayikra. Let's be honest, most people want connection to the Creator without doing the work to become a vessel for it.  This episode challenges that. We dive into the meaning behind offerings, emotional regulation, and why alignment requires participation. Not just intention, not just words - action. Because the Creator doesn't call to chaos. He calls to cons...

In this episode of Spill the P, we step into the energy of Vayakhel through the lens of the divine masculine - discipline, structure, action, and purpose.

It's about choosing persistence over passivity, clar...
