I talk with Liba Yoffe, a fitness instructor and American Ninja Warrior contestant, about how she wanted to be a trainer who did more. She shares her opinions on the supposed dichotomy between modesty and fitness, the blocks that keep people from achieving their fitness dreams, and how she dealt with some very public failure.

On this special Mother’s Day episode I talk with my Mom about how good things can also be hard, our shared inability to deal with free time, better and worse ways to fight, and I air some grievances.

I talk with Yael Braun, the only female toenes in the United States, about how she got into her unusual line of work. She shares what a Bais Din procedure looks like, where the system can go wrong, how to protect yourself from abusive partners, and when Bais Din does and doesn’t have legal muster.

I talk with Keshet Starr, the CEO of Ora Agunot, about the jewish divorce process. We discuss why it's so hard to count the number of Agunot, how our own lack of knowledge around the Bais Din system contributes to this problem, conquering the ick factor around halachik prenups and what these highly effective documents actually say.

I talk with Dr. Shana Frydman, the director of Shalom Task Force, about domestic violence. She shares what it is and isn’t, the importance of having voice in a relationship, the barriers survivors have to leaving, and what the community can do to help.
