Resilience vs. Fear Part 2
08/11/2023 Duration: 08minResilience vs. Fear Part 2 Why do some people rise up during a challenge and some shut down, break down? In part one, we discussed the different ways we react to challenges. Today, Charlie begins to explain how we can tap into the higher ways of reacting like giving, resilience, sacrifice, courage, by beginning to understand how challenge affects us physically. What it does to our body. How our brain reacts. How survival mode affects us without us even thinking about it. And how we can get stuck in survival mode for a lifetime if we don’t do something about it. Before we can rise up, we have to understand what brings us down and how. This episode will clarify why so many react in fear, despair and brokenness. See you next time to start building resilience!

Discovering our purpose in life
31/10/2023 Duration: 04minWith everything going on in the world, we find ourselves asking “why are we alive? What is our purpose?” There is a common and beautiful question we can ask ourselves to help us discover our purpose: How do I use what I have (resources, knowledge, challenges) to help other people? But most people are so busy looking for a huge cosmic, macro “life project,” when most probably your purpose is right in front of you. So today, look at your life and ask yourself, where are you needed? Who in your life really needs you? Your child? Your spouse? Is there a mitzvah in front of you? A person? Don’t look for a big important job. Look at what’s in front of you today, and how you can take care of that with the most energy, enthusiasm, and holiness! That’s how you find your purpose!

Rosh Hashanah: Turning Life's Gifts into Blessings
13/09/2023 Duration: 06minRosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment, is arguably the most significant day of the Jewish calendar. It's a day when your entire year, your destiny, hangs in the balance, and the heavenly court assesses your deeds. The seriousness of this day is akin to preparing for a major trial, especially for those familiar with courtroom procedures. In this episode, we explore the intriguing customs associated with Rosh Hashanah, particularly the tradition of consuming symbolic foods before the formal prayers begin. It may seem peculiar at first, similar to wordplay or a game, but there's a deeper meaning to this practice. Charlie shares a beautiful insight that reframes our understanding of these symbolic foods, known as 'simonim.' These foods are not mere word games or puns; they are triggers for blessings and prayers. They represent a proactive approach to co-creating one's future. Instead of passively waiting for divine judgment, Rosh Hashanah encourages us to take an active role in shaping our destinies. As the episode

Rosh Hashanah's Unique Joy: A Tale of Unexpected Mercy
12/09/2023 Duration: 10minIn this episode, Charlie delves into the intriguing concept of Rosh Hashanah, a holiday marked by joy and reflection, even in the face of judgment. The rabbis teach that on this day, happiness should prevail, and sorrow should be set aside, a notion that might seem paradoxical considering the seriousness of the occasion. The episode begins with a fascinating story about two strangers who become fast friends during law school. John and David, from different backgrounds, forged a close bond that seemed unbreakable. However, as life went on, they drifted apart. Fast forward 20 years, and their paths unexpectedly cross again, leading to a twist of fate that none could have predicted. The story takes a thrilling turn when David, facing a dire predicament involving a series of traffic violations, fears the worst. He recounts a nerve-racking courtroom scene where his future hangs in the balance, and an unexpected savior emerges from his past. The host draws a profound parallel between David's courtroom experience an
