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.

I go solo to tell the whole ridiculous and frustrating story of creating the 5th Date Top and Skirt. I share what went wrong in production, how the factory works in these situations and my thoughts on dating in general and especially dating young.

I talk with Dr. Aimee Baron, a pediatrician and the founder of I Was Supposed To Have A Baby, about her infertility journey. She shares the work she did to accept the fact that her family wouldn’t look the way she imagined after suffering multiple miscarriages and how we can better support those around us in the infertility community.

I talk with Aliza Horowitz,a lover of comedy and learning things the hard way, about her life. We talk about her decision to skip 12th grade, swap Rabbi stories that didn’t exactly do their trick on us, discuss her old fashioned sensisbilities, and the responsibility of a platform.
