Frum Minimalism with Ellie Azerad24 mars 202501:14:57

Episode 79: Frum Minimalism with Ellie Azerad

In response to today’s oversaturated consumerist society, the pendulum has swung and Minimalism is a thing. A minimalist lifestyle involves intentionally living with fewer possessions, focusing on what truly matters and rejecting unnecessary clutter and consumerism to achieve simplicity and intentionality. While trending in the secular world, can Minimalism be adapted to the frum lifestyle? Ellie Azerad, founder of Frum Minimalism, argues yes. She also believes that principles of minimalism reflect Torah values. Ellie teaches frum women how to simplify their lives so they can live life to the fullest. And she’s joined us on this DMC to give us the lowdown – and amazing stories – of how mindful decluttering and shifting your mindset about possessions can have transformative effects. 

On this episode, we discuss:

  • The definition of minimalism

  • How it’s trending in the secular world and where it’s coming from

  • “Frum minimalism” and how it compares

  • Minimalism as a response to materialism

  • Principles of The Minimalist Makeover course

  • Takeaway tips

Breaking the Mold with Raizy Fried13 janv. 202501:20:37

How do we break the mold? How do we change our bad habits, attitudes and self-perceptions that aren’t serving us and redefine how we show up in the world? Is self-transformation even possible? Raizy asked these questions when she embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery. She recorded it and her takeaways in her new book, The Anatomy of a Yenta: Break the Yenta Mold, Embrace Dignity, and Create an Elegant Life. We’ve brought Raizy on to DMC (for the second time!) to share her story and give us insights into how we can embark on our own self-transformation journeys.

Embracing Conflicting Emotions with Sara Eisemann09 sept. 202401:09:28

Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core.

  • What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences

  • Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them

  • How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way

  • The role of acceptance

Addressing Communal Issues Honestly with Keshet Starr 11 août 202401:10:13

Can we be honest for a minute? Of course we can, we’re having a DMC! So let’s get real about being honest about communal issues. In other words, we know our community isn’t immune to its share of societal challenges, but is it possible to be sincere in acknowledging the issues while sincerely trying to improve them? And while we’re being honest about the problems, how can we maintain emunah and positivity as we’re face-to-face with those challenges?

We discuss these questions and more with Keshet Starr, CEO Of ORA, the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. Keshet is an attorney, author, activist, speaker and nonprofit leader. She’s one of those people in the trenches doing the work but has managed to maintain her sensitivity, sincerity and emunah. Keshet is a true role model in many ways. 

In this DMC we discuss,

  • How Keshet got into the work of agunah advocacy

  • How we can be honest about real issues in the community while maintaining positivity and emunah

  • The first steps in making changes once we’ve identified a problem

  • Effective and ineffective methods of making change

  • Keshet’s opinion on grassroots efforts in the community

  • How Orah has been successful in implementing change & what Keshet’s learned

  • Keshet’s advice for those looking to improve an area in their community

Finding Meaning in Mourning with Sarah Rivkah Kohn29 juil. 202400:59:55

We’ve entered the Three Weeks, and the Jewish calendar instructs us to have mourning on our mind. Yet it can be challenging to embrace the meaning of mourning smack in the middle of summer barbeques and road trips. We knew that Sarah Rivkah Kohn, founder of Links Family, would help us find the meaning in mourning. Links Family is an organization that provides support to children and teens who have lost a parent. Through her own personal loss, and her work with Links, Sarah Rivkah has learned so much about the process and significance of mourning and how it can apply to all of us, even if we haven’t lost a loved one. 

On this DMC we discuss:

  • How and why Sarah Rivkah founded Links Family

  • What Sarah Rivkah has learned about mourning

  • The various forms of loss  in the human experience

  • How Sarah Rivkah’s experience informs her understanding of the loss of the Beis Hamikdash

  • How we can make Tisha Baav more meaningful in our lives

Perfectionism with Dr. Danielle Dragon01 juil. 202401:13:53

We often throw around the word “perfectionism”, but what does it actually mean? What’s the difference between perfectionism and being meticulous and conscientious at work or at home?

Holding Down the Fort with Nina Tokayer01 avr. 202400:51:01

So many of us in Chutz LaAretz want to understand what it’s like for the women who are holding down the fort in Eretz Yisrael with their husbands off fighting this war. These mothers and wives are true heroes, taking care of everything without the support and presence of their husbands who are risking their lives to protect our Holy Land. We want to learn and know more about what these special women – our Jewish sisters in Eretz Yisrael – are going through. So we asked Nina Tokayer on the podcast to DMC with us. Nina lives in Pardes Chana with her husband Yoni and children. Many of you may be familiar with Yonina which is the name of her singing duo together with her husband. Yoni was just released from miluim – reserves– this February. 

We’re excited to talk to Nina about her music as well as about what this experience has been like for her and her children.

On this DMC we discuss:

  • How Yonina got started and has evolved

  • October 7th for the Tokayers

  • Nina’s experience as the wife of a reservist

  • How Nina’s identity as a musician impacted her experience

  • Nina’s message of chizuk for fellow wives of soldiers

  • Nina’s message of chizuk for Jewish women outside of Israel

The Kichels with Bracha Stein & Chani Judowitz11 mars 202401:27:00

Purim is on its way, so we’ve invited who we think are two of the funniest (and maybe cleverest) ladies to grace the pages of Mishpacha Magazine, and that’s Chani Judowitz and Bracha Stein, the masterminds of The Kichels’ comics. We say that The Kichels is social commentary in its best form. They manage to point out silly things about frum life in a way that’s highly relatable, while doing it in such a loving and playful way. It’s like mussar and validation all in one hilarious package. 

(Oh, and by the way, you can’t miss our very special “guests” this episode to provide some extra laughs this Adar season.)

On this DMC we discuss:

  • How the Kichels were born

  • Chani and Bracha’s process of collaboration

  • Their goals in starting the comic strip

  • Their reaction to its popularity

  • What they think the Kichels has accomplished in starting communal conversations

  • Their funniest, most loved, and most controversial strips

  • What’s next for the Kichels

Using Your Voice for Israel with The Official Meira26 févr. 202401:12:35

So often the situation in Israel can feel dispiriting. We want to make a difference and contribute, but we don’t know how. Meira Kolatch, otherwise known as “The Official Meira”, shares with us how out of her desire to keep her friends and family informed about events in Israel, she accidently created a following of over 35k people on social media who come to her for 

real-time, verified information from Israel about Israel. She shares with us her empowering message of how we can each stand strong for Israel in our daily lives, no social media presence required.

On this DMC we discuss:

  • Meira’s aliyah journey as a young child and the impact it has on her today

  • How she’s become an authority on Israel since she started sharing information after October 7th

  • How she views and interacts with the “Ceasefire Now” group so vocal on social media

Living The InKredible Dream with Tziri Preis29 janv. 202401:18:44

Tziri Preis is one of those people who is living her dream. Classroom teacher turned podcaster and “General” of the Tehillim Army nightly Zoom and livestream, she reaches thousands of children (and their parents) each night. The Tehillim Army was Tziri’s response to October 7th, and little did she know what a need it would fill and the impact it would make. Tziri’s story has so much to teach us about doing our part to fill a need as well as making dreams come true.

Developing a Geula Mindset with Faigy Blumstein15 janv. 202401:28:40

These days, it seems Geula is very much on our mind. Geula, as our guest Faigy Blumstein explains, is very much a mindset as well hat needs developing. Geula, redemption, will happen with Hashem’s help in the future, but it isn’t something that we passively wait for. Every day we yearn for the Geula, and there are things we can do right now to put into place as an expression of that yearning – and as a means to an end to bring the Geula closer! Faigy, with her signature Thank You Hashem attitude, gives us the low down on how to make this a reality in our daily lives.


On this DMC we discuss:

  • How Faigy and her husband started the TYH movement

  • Faigy’s passion for teaching and the topics she’s loving to give over these days

  • What is a “Geula mindset” and how we can develop it

  • Why developing a Geula mindset is so critical these days during the challenges facing Am Yisrael

Food As Fuel with Esti Asher 18 déc. 202301:18:23

We hope all our listeners had a wonderful Chanukah! With any holiday or yom tov, there is that week after when we’re trying to get bedtimes back to normal, work schedules back to normal, and our eating schedules back to normal. But this year, we haven’t really had the luxury of “getting back to normal.” Nonetheless, taking care of ourselves during stressful and disruptive situations is extremely important. We can’t get completely consumed and not be able to take care of our responsibilities – and ourselves. It’s so easy to put our care on the back burner. And if we aren’t eating properly, that can impact our psychological state too. It’s during stressful times that we’re more likely to not tend to our needs (sometimes we even think “how can we” with the news) – but we must.


Esti Asher, a registered dietitian based out of northern Israel, joins us for this DMC. Esti provides us with some mindset and perspective shifts to help us understand the concept of food as fuel as well as deal with any negative feelings associated with our holiday splurging. She also provides tips to help us get back to a more balanced everyday eating routine. Esti’s approach is practical, positive, and holistic. She focuses on many factors that contribute to overall health. Esti places a strong emphasis on healthy habits and behaviors that are optimal to reach your ultimate health and well-being potential. Most importantly, Esti encourages self-awareness, self-care and self-love.


On this episode of DMC, we discuss:

  • The main principles that guide Esti’s work as a nutritionist

  • Mindset and practical tips to help us get back on track with our eating post chag

  • Dealing with negative feelings associated with splurging

  • The concept of food as fuel

  • The most helpful approach for those of us who are motivated to adopt a more healthy lifestyle

  • Esti’s take on diet culture

Being Jewish On Campus Today with Mariel Goldstein04 déc. 202301:25:15

We all know the frightening reality facing Jewish students on college campuses today. The stories are horrifying and unbelievable. We want this episode to be somewhat uplifting as well, and that’s why we’ve invited Mariel Goldstein to speak with us. Mariel is the director of women’s education at MEOR Maryland, a campus-based organization dedicated to extending Jewish learning opportunities to the broadest spectrum of Jewish students at the University of Maryland, College Park. University of Maryland College Park is the fourth largest public university by Jewish population. According to Hilllel, there are 6000 Jewish students on campus, 20% of the student population. So Mariel is in the trenches, supporting Jewish students who are struggling right now – and doing her best to support herself as well since October 7th. 

On this episode we discuss:

  • The impact of October 7 on the lives of the Jewish students Mariel works with 

  • Rising anti-semitism on campus and how it’s impacted University of Maryland

  • The safe haven MEOR provides and the increased interest in programming and Jewish pride

  • The biggest takeaway for college students from this current experience

  • Mariel’s thoughts about the future of Jewish college students on secular campuses

Opening Our Hearts and Homes with Sarah Levy06 nov. 202300:51:25

We’re thinking about all of our listeners during this extremely challenging time for the Jewish people worldwide, and here at DMC, we’re committed to providing content for you that will be helpful and hopefully uplifting. There are many heroes in this war, and some of them are the special individuals in Eretz Yisrael who have done whatever they can to support their fellow brothers and sisters who have been displaced from their homes due to the war. We’re privileged to have been connected with Sarah Levy who lives in Ramot and has opened up her home and heart to a displaced family from Southern Israel. Sarah’s story needs to be told, and we learned so much from her about taking action and truly being nosei ol b’chaveiro, carrying the burden of one’s friend. We hope you find this episode as inspiring as we did. 

On this DMC, we discuss:

  • How Sarah got connected to Revital, the mother of the familly she is hosting

  • Sarah’s decision process in deciding to host Revital, her husband and her children

  • What the transition has been like for both families

  • Special experiences both families have shared together

  • Getting by day-to-day without being consumed by worry about the future

Chizuk from the Holy Land with Dini Coopersmith19 oct. 202301:04:17

Like everyone right now, no matter where you live, our everyday lives are not the same due to the tragic unfolding of events in Eretz Yisrael. Certainly, our brothers and sisters in Israel are facing the most formidable challenges. Those of us watching and davening from afar are challenged in different ways, but challenged nonetheless. Eretz Yisrael and Am Yisrael are constantly on our minds, as we try to get back to whatever our regular life and work looks like here in America. 

For this episode, we wanted to DMC with someone in Eretz Yisrael who can share with us her experiences, insight and chizuk about the current matzav. Those of us in chutz laaretz feel so far away, many are feeling helpless, but maybe this DMC will give us the opportunity to feel that closeness that we are longing for.

We speak with Dini Coopersmith of Maalot Dafna who shares with us what life has been like in Eretz Yisrael the past week and a half. Through this interview, we get a glimpse into the clarity, emunah and bitachon that is so characteristic of the special Jewish people living in the Holyland.

In this DMC we discuss:

  • Dini’s experiences when the sirens went of Shmini Atzeres morning

  • What life is like right now living through this war

  • The general feeling and morale in Israel currently

  • Dini’s connection to the communities in the South through her Women’s Reconnection Trips

  • How Dini is witnessing the unity of the Jewish people at this time

  • The feelings surrounding outside threats to Israel

  • Chizuk for those of us in Chutz La’aretz

Torah, Psychology & Religious Overwhelm with Chani Juravel18 sept. 202301:14:45

Yom Kippur is our most serious and arguably most important Yom Tov in the Jewish calendar. But what happens if our feeling of overwhelm about the seriousness of the day (and the practical physical requirements of the season) robs us from feeling truly connected? More broadly, how does our mental health impact our Torah observance in general? When we're feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed, is Yiddishkeit simply something else on the to-do list that may get pushed off for another day?

When we discussed tackling this topic, we knew it needed to be with someone firmly rooted both in the worlds of psychology and Torah. And that’s why we turned to Chani Juravel, LCSW.

Chani shares her insights on how our psychological/emotional state plays a huge role in religious life. With her extensive experience as a therapist and Torah educator, Chani's passion is the intersection between Torah and psychology. She also explains to us the Torah-true nature of therapy, how it can be fused with our spirituality, and how we find models of so many therapeutic tools and principles in Tanach, particularly from Hashem's model.

We hope this episode enriches your Yom Kippur. Wishing all our listeners a Gmar Chasima Tova.

Wiring Our Children for Happiness with Beth Perkel 07 août 202301:12:32

Being happy is an aspiration that is thrown around so easily and often, we wonder if it’s really even a goal in life. But happiness is crucial for healthy children, and we’re going to be talking all about it with our guest, Beth Perkel. Beth is an author, freelance writer and essayist. Her recent book is called Light At the Beginning of the Tunnel: Wiring our Children for Happiness. 

Beth believes that most children need to be taught the “talent” of happiness, that it doesn’t happen automatically, and that it’s the central key that enables them to lead successful, productive and meaningful lives. In her book, she synthesizes deep concepts from ancient wisdom, the most up-to-date psychological methods, scientific studies and research and weaves them into a practical, personalized system for us and our children.

In the episode we discuss:

-Beth’s journey as a writer, and how she learned to dig deep and be vulnerable

-Why she wrote a book on parenting, and how her approach is unique

-What happiness looks like in different people

-Her favorite chapters in the book

-Advice for parents with children who are “not happy”

-Examples of parenting wins from her own life

Beth’s book and speaker recommendations:

Spiritual Self-Care with Rebbetzin Dr. Adina Shmidman24 juil. 202301:28:03

This episode of DMC is about spiritual self-care. This means, what are we doing to take care of our neshama? What are we doing to invest in our connection to Yiddishkeit and Hashem? Because if we don’t take care of our spiritual side, we know what happens. It’s the same with when we don’t take care of our bodies, or our relationships, or our linen closets…the law of entropy entails and things start falling apart.

Our guest for this deep meaningful conversation is Rebbetzin Dr. Adina Shmidman, the founding director of the OU Women’s Initiative. This topic is one near and dear to Rebbetzin Shmidman’s heart as her life’s work is creating ways for women all over North America to stay connected to their communities and their Torah learning. Rebbetzin Shmidman understands why spiritual self-care is so vital to our well-being as Jewish women.

On this episode we discuss:

  • How Rebbetzin Dr. Shmidman became the director of the OU Women’s Initiative

  • Her goals for Orthodox women in her capacity as an organizational leader

  • An initiative she’s particularly proud of that she was able to implement in this role

  • The definition of spiritual self-care and why she’s passionate about it

  • The main challenges frum women face in practicing spiritual self-care

  • Rebbetzin Dr. Shmidman’s favorite self-care practice

Family Dynamics and Lashon Hara with Yocheved Davidowitz10 juil. 202300:49:20

It’s the Three Weeks, and we knew we wanted to provide something meaningful for us all to help us get in the mindset of this unique period in the Jewish calendar. As we’re leading up to Tisha B’Av, we really should be thinking more about mitzvos bein adam l’chaveiro since sinas chinam, baseless hatred, is the reason given for the destruction of the second Beis Hamikdash.


So we asked Yocheved Davidowitz, licensed counselor, a certified nutrition coach, writer, educator and the host of the podcast, A Deeper Conversation, to join us on this DMC and come up with the topic. Yocheved hosts Wake up Words with the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation and runs a daily Shmiras HaLashon chat for hundreds of women worldwide.


One of the areas she’s been focusing on lately is bein adam l’chaveiro when it comes to those closest to us: our family. We knew that was a topic we wanted to learn more about.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Yocheved’s experience running a daily Shmiras haLashon chat for women worldwide

  • Why she’s lately been interested in the topic of bein adam l’chaveiro as it applies to family members

  • Do we have a get-out-of-jail pass when it comes to speaking lashon hara about family?

  • The Torah’s perspective on venting to family members or confidants about family members

Making Shifts in our Marriage with Rivke Gardner 12 juin 202301:02:17

We get a lot of feedback from women that they’d like to hear more episodes about marriage and parenting. So this episode is devoted to the topic of marriage and we’re DMCing with a very special person, Rivke Gardner. Rivke is “a marriage mentor for mentors” –  and a marriage coach for everybody. She went on her own quest to improve her marriage after she realized as a newlywed that the little tools she had to “perfect” her marriage weren’t working. Rivke knew she wanted a deeply connected, supportive, passionate and fulfilling marriage. So for the last 18 years, she’s learned everything she could about marriage success. She now has a full-time coaching business and offers a variety of programs and training courses. 

On this DMC, we discuss:

  • How Rivke got into marriage coaching and made it into a full-time business

  • The programs she offers

  • The main issues she sees women dealing with in their marriages

  • Her favorite tools that she gives women

  • Mentoring the mentors in marriage coaching

  • What Rivke wishes everyone would know about marriage

Reclaiming Dignity with Bracha Poliakoff29 mai 202301:09:42

It’s fair to say that every Orthodox woman has her own unique relationship with tznius. There are many factors at play that determine the nature of her relationship: education, upbringing, societal and familial influences, peer dynamics, and religious background, amongst others. Whether tznius is your favorite mitzvah or your biggest struggle, it’s valuable to bring tznius into our conversations as individuals and communities, and perhaps, change the conversation we’ve been having all along.

In this DMC, we discuss how the new book Reclaiming Dignity has been the topic of many conversations in various communities since it was released last month. We have the opportunity to sit down with Bracha Poliakoff, the editor of the anthology section of the book, and have our own deep meaningful conversation on this crucial topic.

On this episode, we discuss:

  • Bracha’s relationship with tznius growing up

  • Her dream in creating this book and how it evolved into the final product

  • The intention behind the unique structure of the book 

  • The range of feelings and experiences frum women have about tznius

  • Improvements in tznius education, and areas still needing work

  • “PTSD” - post-traumatic tznius disorder

Why We All Need Chizuk with Barrie Feld 15 mai 202301:10:07

Whatever “chizuk” means to you, we all need it. Whether it’s inspiration, validation, support or cheerleading, chizuk is what keeps us going when the going gets tough, or when we’re just not feeling it. Chizuk isn’t just for those of us who may be struggling religiously. We all can use a boost of strengthening to help us get through our daily lives, to keep us connected to our Judaism, to remind us of our purpose, and to help us get through those rough spots.

Barrie Feld is the founding director of the Chizuk MIssion, and she lives and breathes chizuk. We brought her on DMC to hear why she thinks we all need chizuk, and what chizuk really means to her.

On this episode, we discuss:

  • Barrie’s quality of ayin tov and how that connects to chizuk

  • Where she gets her chizuk from

  • Why she saw a need to create the Chizuk Mission

  • How the Chizuk Mission makes an impact

  • The main challenges facing women in staying connected to their Yiddishkeit

  • The importance of finding what types of chizuk works for you

How We Seek Advice with Jenna McKenna 01 mai 202301:04:22

Let’s say we’re struggling with a challenge in our life. We can weather the storm on our own, or we can reach out to someone for help. But who? Sometimes it’s a family member or friend. Other times a rebbetzin or rav is our first avenue of support. Or a mental health professional. Or all of the above. In our modern world, many seek advice via social media, whether anonymously or not. All these avenues have pros and cons, and we discuss it all this DMC.

Jenna McKenna joins us in this conversation. Jenna is the founder of Frum Girl Problems, a closed Facebook group, and has seen her fair share of the various challenges that women face and how they go about seeing guidance and support. She herself got involved in mentoring, and is currently a high school counselor at Hanna Sacks Bais Yaakov in Chicago. We knew she’d have tons to say about the topic based on her experience. This episode is jam packed with lots of insight about how we go about seeking advice.

Get Ready For Pesach with Esti Hamilton27 mars 202301:01:11

Pesach is coming, and DMC is here for you! Whether you’re defrosting your freezer or packing all the suitcases, we’re back to share conversations about the upcoming yom tov and help us get focused on the meaning of what we do. In this episode, we DMC with Esti Hamilton, the most relatable of rebbetzins, to give us some chizuk and inspo for Pesach. 

We discuss:

  • Her personal relationship with Pesach, from childhood until today

  • The stereotype of the woman falling asleep at the seder, having had no time for her own personal spiritual preparations

  • Tips and suggestions for prioritizing ourselves in advance

  • Connecting with our children who may struggle to connect on Pesach

  • Esti’s favorite Pesach insights

We’d love to hear from you. You can find Deep Meaningful Conversations on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, and you can email us at dmcthepodcast@gmail.com.
