I talk with Nurit Siegal, a writer and scholar, about her work. She shares what it was like to struggle with a language issue as a child, her pivot from radical feminist to Orthodox Jew, why she’s not interested in reconciling those two worlds, and we discuss antisemitism in the modern age in a historical context

I go solo to talk about The Pause Dress. I share how I feel about the pressure to maximize anytime spent away from my family, the time management system that allows me small moments of pause and the process of creating my newest design.

I talk with Yaeli Vogel, an artist, about her work. She shares how she found her own way in the creative arts field, her fascination with business, how her products make her art more accessible, and the process of bringing them to market. Plus we discuss the difference between copying and being inspired when making creative works.

I talk with my sister, Charnie Barak, about her birth experiences. She shares how a bad experience with her first birth led her to explore the world of birthing and got her to hypnoborthing , what she learned about the verbiage of birth, sort of becoming a doula and her increasingly better birth stories.

I talk with Dr. Chaya Liba Kopernick, a clinical psychologist, about the state of mental health care in the Orthodox community. We discuss our community’s fascination with shtick, what a typical client journey looks like, and if she thinks everyone should be in therapy.
