When Miriam Raskin speaks about her journey, her words carry the weight of lived experience and the lightness of profound healing. Our latest episode is a heartfelt tale of her battle with eating disorders and the spiritual solace she discovered within the teachings of Chassidus. Our guest sheds light on the tightrope walk between maintaining control and succumbing to the chaos of life, which often manifest in one's relationship with food. From the quiet desperation of calorie counting to the academic and social hurdles that accompany such struggles, Miriam shares the details of her daily battles and eventual breakthroughs.
We celebrate as Miriam finds freedom through dance and the profound teachings of Chassidus. This episode isn't merely a conversation; it's an invitation to join a dance of joy and connection, to embrace one's unique journey, and to recognize that amidst the trials of life, there is a pathway to freedom paved with understanding, compassion, and the timeless insights of Torah and Chassidus. Join us and be inspired by Miriam's song of resilience and the harmonious chords of personal growth.

Illuminating the Darkness: Mental Health Awareness and Healing in the Jewish Community
Bodies & Souls
05/13/24 • 60 min
When Hadassah Zirkind, founder of A Drop of Light, shared her story with us, the conversation was charged with a raw, transformative energy that only true vulnerability unleashes. We journeyed together through her experiences with self-harm, suicide, and the relentless grip of mental illness—unveiling her unspoken battles with anxiety and depression, magnified by the trials of prenatal and postpartum changes. Hadassah's courage in seeking help and her resolve to foster candid conversations on mental health are paving a path of hope for caregivers, community leaders, and anyone touched by similar struggles.
From understanding suicidal ideation to strengthening community connections, this episode stands as a beacon of support, an invitation to dialogue, and a testament to the strength that emerges when one dares to share their darkest moments in search of a drop of light.
