Explore every episode of the podcast It's Not About Me by Simi Polonsky

After two solo episodes, Simi opens up the conversation by sharing the story she once felt most uncomfortable telling.

In this deeply honest episode with her first guest, Chani Lisbon, she speaks about the past two years of living with a close friend after divorce and how what once felt shameful became one of the most transformative and supportive seasons of her life.

A conversation about letting go of how we thought life was supposed to look, and learning how to live, accept, and thrive inside the life that actually is.

In this episode, I invite you into the soundtrack of my singlehood. Through music, memory, and moments of surrender, I trace the journey from widowhood and divorce to sovereignty, faith, and finally, coming home to myself. On Being Single, The Soundtrack is about learning to hear your own rhythm again, and discovering that being single isn’t being alone, but being deeply, intimately with yourself, and the freedom that follows.

In the first episode of It’s Not About Me, I take you with me on a solo drive after Pesach, a drive that became a mirror of my own journey through grief, widowhood, single motherhood, divorce, and rediscovering myself. Driving Solo is about the silence, the surrender, and the surprising clarity that comes when you realize you’re the only one behind the wheel… and you decide to keep going.
