Going Beyond with Randi Zinn

We’re thrilled to release an encore episode with mother, model, speaker, and shift stirrer Tinamarie Clark! On Season 4 of the podcast, Tinamarie joined us to tell her unique story of navigating poverty, broken family, the modeling world, and how she’s become the woman she is today. Now, back by popular demand (and we were told that Randi and TM connected like peanut butter and jelly folks), Tinamarie and Randi are going deeper into all the things that have been created and unearthed since their original conversation. Tinamarie shares more about her Shift Stirrer Method (SSM), a five S method to get your sh*t together and shift your perception. This method is designed to transform negative thought patterns, also known as stir stories. With the state of the world, a pandemic, and major paradigm shifts, we know we need many more skills to own our shadow selves and get better at sustaining discomfort- we know this conversation will help us NOW!

This episode was recorded in 2019 but this conversation will provide some much needed healing for the moment we’re all in.

In this episode Randi and Tinamarie dive into:

-How the Shift Stirrer Method came to Tinamarie and how it changed her life.

-What is the method exactly? Tinamarie walks us through each step of the Shift Stirrer Method in detail.

-The importance of every single step of her method. Why each step is transformational and powerful even when practiced on their own.

-Why it takes courage to really do the work to look at ourselves, own our awful and shift into a new perspective. Randi and Tinamarie share their own stories.

-Finding your alignment and calling-What it feels like to be in the flow of doing what you truly were meant to do on this planet.

-The power of vulnerability and pain. How Randi and Tinamarie have taken their hardships in life and created greatness out of them.

Today we are talking to my friend, the immensely talented, Micaela Ezra. Micaela is an illustrator, designer, writer and founder of AHYIN, a boutique collection of contemporary Judaica objects, designed and created with holistic, spiritual intentions.

We start our conversation diving into Micaela's journey and heritage which plays a tremendous role in the passion and inspiration for her work. An Australian native, Micaela immigrated to New York City to have the “Sex and the City” life that always fascinated her. She arrived with a handbag full of samples and knocked on doors until securing a position with leading fashion designer Cynthia Steffe (5:04).

While inspired by the beauty and creativity of the fashion industry, Micaela was searching for something more and was drawn towards a career path from a place of service. She began attending classes and reestablishing her connection with her Jewish beliefs on a deeper level which led to opportunities that planted the seed into what would become AHYIN (10:02). She even formed a connection with Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author and Speaker, which led to their collaboration with the “Super Attractor” and “The Universe Has Your Back” 52 inspirational card decks.

We then discuss the role faith plays in dealing with the daily stresses of this unprecedented time of civil unrest and the critical part Jewish people can play in creating connections and driving the conversation forward in support of ending racial and social injustice (35:32).

Is fear holding you back from living the life you really want? Have you gotten lost in the day to day and lost sight of where you’re going? Meet powerhouse Lauren Handel Zander, founder of the Handel Group and author of Maybe it’s You: Cut the Crap, Face Your Fears, Love Your Life. Her coaching methodology, The Handel Method is taught in over 35 universities and institutes throughout the world.

In this candid conversation Lauren explains how fear holds us back, why it’s important to have conversations with your parents, all to have a better conversation with yourself. Self-love is about your willingness to dig in and design the life you want.

This conversation might make you a little nervous but will definitely inspire you to take bolder leaps in your life.

“Every single woman has a unique story about her body image and food. And I realized we need to start sharing that in a more public way.” We welcome to the podcast, Soshy Adelstein, a wellness coach for women who want to make peace with food and their bodies. Through real talk and compassionate listening, she teaches women how to let go of old beliefs around dieting, eating, exercise and weight so that we can step into new practices to support our best selves NOW. Soshy’s story is unique and profound because of her upbringing in a Hassidic Jewish community, her separation from that community and her eventual ability to love and accept her own body.

In this episode Soshy and Randi dive into:

-Soshy’s background growing up in a Hassidic community, closed off from the secular world, and her need to break-away from the community she was born into.

-Soshy’s darker days facing binge eating, family trauma and physical pain.

-What is intuitive eating and how has it changed her life.

-Raising children to love their bodies in our modern age.

-The role of media when it comes to body image.

-Western Medicine versus Holistic Wellness.

-Her number one advice to healing your relationship with food.

“Clean up your feed. Go follow people that when you are looking at their feed you feel good. You feel excited. You feel jazzed up about your relationship with food.”

It’s time to pause, feel our hearts beating and connect to our humanity. In this episode we welcome emotional wellness coach and social worker Buffi Williams. She works closely with children living in poverty, coaches youth in prisons, and sits with families in the depth of despair due to drugs, abuse and loss- listening to stories and guiding people through their pain toward a more whole existence. She approaches every case with humbleness and compassion, prepared to sit in the messiness and potential of it all. How does she do the work that so many of us would probably avoid? She believes that there is power in each story and that story can be your super power. Buffi’s deep connection with God is her guide and her love of family inspires us to no end. Randi feels so lucky to share her sister-in-law and all her grace with the listeners of the podcast.
