Rachel Tuchman, LMHC and I kick off a winter long series on mental health with a discussion on depression. We talk about the power of the language we use, what’s happening inside the depressed brain, living with a depressed partner, the selflessness of suicide and how depression shows up differently in men and women.

I talk with designer and entrepreneur Valeri Stavnitser about her life. She shares how her parents heavy schedules when she was growing up influenced the way she runs her business and life, her very fast journey to religion and how that felt like she was losing herself, taking business personally, and handling copycats of her designs.  

I talk with Nechami Tenenbaum & Michelle Mozes, two of my closest friends,  about friendship. We discuss how our friendships have changed as we’ve gotten older, what we value in our friendships, making new friends as an adult, and our decision process when ending a friendship.

I go solo to Talk about the Snuggle Dress. I share what aspects of my business have been re-thunk over the last two years, the overwhelming emotions of the last few days, and how you can still get your hands on a style that was my fastest ever to sell out.  

I talk with Ahuva Gottdiener, better known as Homegrown Kosher, someone who’s always been fascinated by how things were made. She shares the choice to turn certain hobbies into a business and leave other as just hobbies why she thinks it’s important for anyone who can to grow their food, and how the way she cares for her kids has changed as they’ve gotten older.
