  Behind Closed Doors: The Conversations Marriage Needs (ft. Rikki Spivak ) 16.10.2026 1h 8m

  Marriage is beautiful. But it can also be complicated, challenging, and sometimes incredibly lonely.Intimacy, connection, communication, expectations, and the struggles that come with sharing a life with another person. There is so much we experience in marriage that we don’t always know how to talk about.In this episode, we’re opening up the conversation about marriage and intimacy. The challenges, the disconnect, the desire to feel seen, understood, loved, and close to the person we’ve chosen to build a life with.Because sometimes the most healing thing is simply hearing that what you’re experiencing isn’t yours alone.My hope is that this conversation brings validation, understanding, and practical insight into how we can strengthen our relationships and deepen our bonds.And if you don’t walk away having learned something new, I hope you walk away feeling a little less alone.Some conversations are too important not to have.And this is one of them.

  Thank You, Even for This With Michali Weinstein, Nina Oziel & Yaeli Vogel 23.09.2026 1h 2m

  What happens when life gives you an experience you never asked for?In this episode, Michali Weinstein, Nina Oziel, and I sit down for a raw conversation about some of the experiences that have shaped us, from medical negligence and moments that changed everything, to gratitude, manifesting, faith, and learning to say “Thank You, Hashem” even when life doesn’t make sense yet.We talk about the difference between being grateful for what happened and finding gratitude for what it gave you. We get into manifestation, trusting Hashem while still wanting more for your life, and what our hardest experiences have taught us about ourselves.And I put Michali and Nina in the hot seat with the bigger life questions: What do you know now that you wish you knew sooner? What actually matters? What would you tell someone going through their hardest chapter? What do you refuse to waste your energy on anymore?Three women. Three very different life experiences. One conversation about perspective, faith, growth, and choosing to see your life differently.Sometimes “Thank You, Hashem” comes easily.And sometimes it takes years to understand what you’re saying thank you for.

  Your Triggers Are Trying to Tell You Something  (ft Aliza Tropper) 23.08.2026 1h 2m

  In this episode, I sit down with trauma therapist Aliza Tropper to talk about something so many of us try to avoid: going back.We want to heal. We want to grow. We want to be spiritual. We want to move forward. But sometimes, moving forward requires understanding what happened behind us.Aliza explains why our triggers aren’t random. They’re often pointing us toward parts of ourselves that still need to be understood, felt, and healed. And true spirituality isn’t about rising above our emotions or pretending we’re unaffected by things. It’s about knowing ourselves deeply enough to understand why we react the way we do.That conversation naturally brought us into astrology and why I love it so much, not as something that defines us, but as another tool for understanding ourselves. Our strengths. Our struggles. Our patterns. The places that come easily to us and the places where we’re being asked to grow.Because the more you understand yourself, the less you have to fight yourself.And sometimes the way forward really does begin by looking back.

  Power of Prayer 26.03.2026 22m

  This is a shorter solo episode. Yaeli is speaking to a group of ladies at an Atelier project. Bedazzling a siddur. She speaks about Pesach and Prayer and how the two work together. Prayer is not just words, it is alignment.When we speak holy words, our body calms, our mind focuses, and our heart opens.Sound creates vibration, and intention directs that energy with purpose.Prayer organizes the chaos inside us and clarifies what we truly desire.Then comes surrender, trusting that Hashem heard and knows.This release softens tension and removes the inner resistance we carry.Pesach teaches that we must also clear our “chametz,” the fears and beliefs that block us.When we clean that inner space, what we are asking for has somewhere to enter.Prayer opens the channel, surrender relaxes the grip, and inner work removes the obstacles.Together, they allow us to step into freedom and make room for miracles.Enjoy and Chag kasher Vsameach
