This week on Chic & Kosher, we explore what happens when we outgrow our own containers—and how Hashem lovingly invites us to stretch beyond them.

Using Yemenite kubaneh bread—baked slowly in a closed vessel—as a metaphor, Stephanie reflects on the kabbalistic themes of tzimtzum (contraction) and expansion, the energy of the Three Weeks, and how spiritual pressure often precedes profound personal growth.

She shares a personal story about pursuing a production space for her pantry product line—how it felt too big, too soon—and the moment she realized it wasn’t a misalignment but a Divine invitation to cocreate.

This isn’t just about bread or business. It’s about breaking ceilings, saying yes to more, and trusting the Creator’s timeline, even when it surprises you.
