In this powerful episode, I interview Dr. Reggie Melrose — psychologist, bestselling author, and creator of SRT — about trauma, healing, and how the body tells the truth the mind can’t. We talk ADHD, somatic work, the frum community, resistance, breakthroughs, and what needs to change.

“Today on the podcast, I’m thrilled to be speaking with Bracha Banayan, a nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and founder of IV Drips and Hello Dose. Bracha is one of the most prominent voices in the world of GLP-1 therapy. She’s passionate about helping people not just lose weight, but quiet the food noise, reduce binge cycles, and reclaim a healthy relationship with themselves. In our conversation, we’ll explore her journey from clinical nursing to building two successful companies, the creation of the DROP Method, and how mindful, intentional use of GLP-1s can actually support deeper inner work.”
 

In this episode of Rise, Shine and Grow, Naomi Nama Bracha joins us to explore the deep connections between Torah, Kabbalah, and astrology. She shares her journey from studying Jewish mysticism to guiding others through spiritual astrology, revealing how our birth charts can illuminate our soul’s purpose. Together we dive into Scorpio season’s lessons, finding faith amidst challenge, and how sacred wisdom helps us navigate fate and free will with clarity and hope.

In this episode of Rise, Shine and Grow, I sit down with Aliza Shapiro, a licensed clinical social worker known for her validating, wisdom-filled posts on Instagram. Together, we explore the truths behind real healing, the courage to embrace grief and growth, and how softness, authenticity, and human connection shape the way we rise.

Hi There!

I am so excited for you to meet Motty Kenigsberg.

Motty is a mindset coach, group facilitator, retreat leader, podcast host, father and husband.

Motty and I recently led a healing retreat together and even though we have been working together on various projects since then.

I have had the honor of seeing some of Motty’s coaching work in person, and we also share some clients, but even so we are really still getting to know each other - and as you listen, you’ll get to know him too.

Motty is not your typical coach. While many coaches and therapists present themselves as “experts” (and he certainly is an expert!) Motty brings a humility and warmth that makes it safe to be yourself in his presence - which might just be the magic of his “medicine.”

Enjoy this episode - once you listen, you’ll see what I mean.

I believe there are 3 secret ingredients:

Patience, persistence, and resilience are THE key ingredients to commitment, and will define your success in literally anything you are working on.

Whether it's business, relationships, or personal goals, understanding that these are the ingredients that define success, is a deal breaker.
