Thoughts About Life
'I Swear'

In this episode, we look at what we learnt from our recent film watching. 'I Swear' is a film that shines a light on how far our society has come in the past few decades. We remember how, not so long ago, the world was far more dismissive and busy-minded, often missing the deeper struggles that human beings faced. But things have changed – profoundly. In addition, through the film’s journey, we see how belief can transform lives. One person’s faith in another can spark self-belief, and that, in turn, can rekindle faith in society itself. This conversation is about an improving world, the power of human beings, and the impact, for better or for worse, that we have on all those around us.

Thoughts About Life
Till Divorce Do Us Part

Divorce has become one of the defining features of modern relationships — but why? In this episode, we delve into one of the most painful and complex human experiences. Why do so many marriages fall apart today? Is it that people have changed — or that our expectations of love and commitment have? We explore how modern culture, communication, and even spirituality shape relationships, and whether divorce is always a tragedy… or sometimes a necessary positive intervention.


We’ll talk about what makes relationships last, how to recognise the early warning signs of emotional drift, and what Judaism — and wisdom more broadly — has to say about repairing, releasing, and rebuilding. This isn’t a conversation about blame. It’s a search for understanding — and ultimately and most importantly, for hope.

'Get Over Yourself'. The three most important words in a relationship ┃Part 2

In this episode, we take a deeper look into one of the most crucial, hardest, yet easiest, parts of any healthy relationship: getting over yourself. We explore what it really means to move past ego, pride, and self-centred thinking, and how doing so can transform the way you connect with others, in particular your chosen partner. From practical tips on letting go in the moment, to deeper insights about humility, this conversation breaks down why we believe that this is the key to solving any and all conflict. Whether it’s with a partner, a friend, family member, or even on a national level – learning to get over yourself is the most important relationship skill of all.

Thoughts About Life
'Get Over Yourself'. The three most important words in a Relationship

In this episode, we dive into relationships: specifically, why studies show that cohabitation before marriage increases the chances of divorce. We explore what living together before marriage really says about a relationship — how it often reflects a desire for everything to be “perfect” rather than a faith that a solid relationship will weather its challenges.

We share personal stories and honest reflections about what makes marriage work: trust, faith, and learning to get over yourself. Real growth in a relationship doesn’t come from having everything figured out — it comes from two people choosing to believe in each other and to keep working things out together.

If you are interested in reflecting on what fundamentally makes relationships work, then this episode is for you.

Thoughts About Life
Assisted Dying - Compassion Or Surrender?

This week we tackle the difficult conversation, now happening in Parliament, about allowing assisted dying. Would legalising be a compassionate choice — or a sign we’ve lost sight of life’s sacredness? We don’t necessarily agree on this one and so we can genuinely explore both sides. On the one hand, we ask if we have the right to deny people an end to their suffering if that’s what they wish. On the other, we discuss how life is a gift; how gratitude shapes our response to suffering, and why a grateful heart can change the options someone chooses at the end of their life. Thoughtful, honest, and personal. We aim to leave you with maybe not the right answers, but at least the right questions.

Thoughts About Life
You shall love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Deuteronomy 10:19)

In this episode, we begin with the murder of Charlie Kirk and reflect on how devastatingly absurd it is that people committed to their ideas have claimed more lives than anything else in human history. We explore how opinions, when taken too seriously, can push people toward violence – and why nothing is worth killing for. We share how it’s not the ideas that cause people to kill but the feeling behind them.


We also take on our very first listener request: to talk about Tommy Robinson, the Reform Party, and immigration. We avoid the politics, but approach the topic from both the economic and human side, discussing how immigrants often work incredibly hard to build better lives and contribute positively to society. But beyond numbers and policies, we highlight the human reality: nobody chooses to leave home lightly. Many are forced into new societies, and just like us, they long for love, dignity, and equality. Too often, we forget that at the core, we all simply want to live a good, decent life.

Thoughts About Life
Do I Really Need That Lottery Ticket?

In this episode, we dive into the balance between faith and effort. Do I really need to buy a lottery ticket to “do my part,” or is that just an illusion? We explore the idea that God provides everyone with what they truly need, often in ways we don’t expect. And if we want more in life, maybe the answer isn’t luck but working harder, growing stronger, and facing the challenge head-on. Life isn’t easy—but perhaps that’s exactly how it’s meant to be. And if we look deeper, we might realize we don’t need a lottery ticket at all. We’re already holding hundreds of “winning tickets” every single day—blessings, opportunities, and gifts from God that we often take for granted.

Thoughts About Life
How To Make Your Dreams Come True

In this episode, we explore the beauty of human diversity — how each of us is drawn to different jobs, places, and paths in life, and how God guides us to where we truly belong. Without this variety, our world would be far less rich. When we honour people’s choices, rather than forcing them into one mould, society flourishes — which is a big reason why totalitarianism never works. We also look at parenting, and why it’s so important not to push our children toward roles that don’t fit them, but instead to give them space to discover their own calling.


Alongside this, we reflect on the gift of vision: those dreams and possibilities that make life so beautiful, even if we cannot achieve them all. Vision inspires us, but so too does the journey itself — the small steps, the daily progress, the excitement of moving closer to our goals. Whether it’s where we live, the work we do, or the dreams we carry, it’s amazing what we can achieve when we take the step that’s right in front of us and allow God to take care of the rest.

Thoughts About Life
When Life Doesn’t Go to Plan

In this episode, we explore one of life’s great questions: why do bad things happen to good people? Together, we look at how setbacks—though painful—can become opportunities for growth and transformation.

We discuss the importance of embracing change, recognizing that while we may make our own plans, ultimately it is God who directs the path. Prayer, too, takes on a new dimension when it shifts from asking for what we want to seeking the strength and wisdom to align with what God wants. And since life is so unpredictable, the only real way forward is to live fully in each moment—planning where we can, but always trusting that the journey is guided by a higher wisdom.

Thoughts About Life
All You Need Is Love

In this episode, we unpack the famous Beatles lyric, “All You Need Is Love” — but not the kind of love most people think of.

We explore a deeper, more universal love — not the love between two individuals, but an impersonal, unconditional love that lives at the core of every human being. It’s the love we feel for life itself, for humanity as a whole, and ultimately, for God.

This is not a love we give or take. It’s a state of being — a quiet presence that radiates from within and gently warms the people around us.

Tune in as we explore what it means to live from this kind of love.

Thoughts About Life
Living In The Moment

This episode is about being present.

We explore how real presence means being in life, not in our thinking. As a result, it's not something you can think your way into. Quite the opposite. Being in life means not thinking. It happens sometimes when we give to others or in emergencies. People just find themselves in a zone without having tried get there.


We also talk about decisions and how the best ones are made in the moment. Not by trying to control the future, but by trusting the deeper wisdom inside you, the one that comes from God, not your busy mind.


Forget the noise in your head. Trust the now. That’s where life — and wisdom — really happens.

Thoughts About Life
What A Time To Be Alive

Whilst many seem to feel that we live in such challenging times, we argue that our world is only improving. There's no better time to have lived than 2025.

Humanity always has its ups and downs, but overall the trajectory is upwards and we are so blessed to live at the time that we do.

Thoughts About Life
Seeing Beyond Opinions

In this episode, we dive into something that affects us all — opinions. Why do we argue over them? Why do we take them so seriously? And what would happen if we stepped back and saw them for what they are — just opinions.

We explore how letting go of the need to be right can make us more peaceful, more open, and a whole lot more lighthearted. We talk about how the news is often filled with fear and division — but when you step outside and look around, the world is actually full of beauty, people, and connection.

At the end of the day, we all want similar things. We’re all human. We’re all in the same boat. Let’s stop obsessing over what separates us — and start seeing what brings us together.

This is an honest, compassionate conversation offering permission to feel whatever we feel without pressure for it to be anything other than what it is.

Thoughts About Life
The Danger Of Busymindedness

Click ⁠here ⁠to join our new 'Thoughts About Life' WhatsApp group.


This one’s about how fast everything’s gotten — podcasts at x2 speed, WhatsApp replies that are just emojis, people reacting instead of actually talking.

We get into why this kind of communication doesn’t really give us space to feel or think. It’s like everyone’s rushing — not just through conversations, but through life.

We talk about what it means to slow down. To walk through life instead of run through it. Because when you walk, you actually notice things. You connect. You feel.

There’s humour in it, of course — it’s a weird time to be a human. But also, a gentle reminder: maybe we don’t have to keep up with the speed of everything. Maybe we’re allowed to slow down.

The Hope That Humanity Can Change

In this episode, we reflect on one of the 13 principles of faith in Judaism: the belief in the Messiah and the idea that everyone can change. We explore the hope embedded in this belief — that no matter how dark the world seems, we are never stuck. We are not bound by our past, but are constantly being shaped by our choices in the present.

Is Attraction Overrated?

In this episode, we challenge one of today’s most accepted relationship ideals: the centrality of physical attraction. Is it really the foundation of love—or just a distraction from something deeper? We unpack why connection and emotional resonance matter far more than fleeting chemistry, and how modern relationships often suffer from being built on attraction alone.

This honest conversation invites listeners to rethink what they’re really looking for—and what love is truly built on.

Trusting Yourself Around Food: The Wisdom Within

In this heartfelt episode, we explore a new, freeing perspective on weight loss—one that doesn’t involve dieting, restriction, or willpower. Instead, it’s about reconnecting with your own inner wisdom.

We talk about why loving food is natural, how diets often make things worse by increasing obsession, and why overthinking your choices can backfire. The key? Insight. A fresh, intuitive understanding that can come in a flash—and change everything.

Let’s talk about trusting yourself again, eating what you truly want, and letting go of the idea that someone else knows better than you do.

Trusting In Our Kids' Wisdom

What if our kids already have a sense of what they need—and it’s our job to help them uncover it, not override it? In this episode, we talk about what it means to really listen to our children. We reflect on the balance between offering guidance and giving them room to grow, make choices, and sometimes even lead. Parenting isn't just about knowing what’s best—it’s about relationship, having real conversations, and learning to trust them just enough at the right moments.

Parenting: Trust and the Art of Letting Go

In this episode, we explore the importance of having honest conversations with our children — even about life’s most difficult topics, like death.

We talk about why hiding the truth can do more harm than good, and how being open helps build trust, understanding, and resilience.

We also reflect on the power of letting go: recognizing that our children are living their own lives, guided by their own inner wisdom. We’re here to support, guide, and walk alongside them.
