In this episode of More to the Story, I look back at last week’s Parsha and ahead to the one that’s coming, and I find myself standing right in between them. I talk about what it means to live with the Parsha, to feel that each week carries its own heartbeat, its own invitation to grow and return. For me, connecting to the Parsha is not about studying alone. It is about being part of a living, breathing story that moves through time and through us. Each week offers its own light, its own work...

In this episode of More to the Story, I talk about the very first Rashi in the Torah and how it is also Rashi’s own introduction to himself. Rashi asks why the Torah begins with the creation of the world instead of with the first commandment. The answer, he says, is that Hashem started with creation so that when the world accuses us of taking what is not ours, we can remember who the true Creator is. The Rebbe takes it further. He explains that the land of Israel is not only a place on a map....
This episode was recorded just before Yom Kippur. It is about Teshuvah, but not in the way I once understood it. Like much of my life, its meaning keeps evolving. I reflect on how the language of repentance has often felt like a weapon, and how I am learning to reclaim it as something tender and true. Like many of my offerings, this one is unpolished and raw. It is a voice memo of the soul, shared from the middle of the process. I speak about what Yom Kippur means to me this year, the questio...
In this Q&A, I speak from the place I’m still in, where clarity and doubt live together. I talk about nearly walking away from my marriage and what helped me stay. I share what it means to carry something too heavy alone and what becomes possible when both people keep showing up. We talk about the power of the 12-step world and the places it cannot reach. I speak about the depth of plant medicine and the quiet strength of women I’ve met along the way. I share what it means to let go of s...
In this first episode of More to the Story, I return to where it all began. Not just the beginning of healing, but the beginning of me. I talk about growing up in Crown Heights in a large Chabad family, shaped by strong voices and quiet expectations, and the inner world I carried through it all. I share what it was like to fall in love, become a mother, and then watch the life I had built start to crack open. I speak about discovering my husband’s addiction, how it stirred memories I had bur...
