    Self-Compassion in Action: Creating Space to Process and Reset

    In this solo episode of Something New Is Possible, I reflect on self-compassion, emotional processing, and the importance of creating intentional space for yourself. I’m about to leave for my first truly unplugged vacation in more than a decade, and it made me think about something I talk about often with clients but continue to learn about myself: the importance of stepping away from constant productivity so the nervous system can reset. In this episode, I share what self-compassion actually looks like in practice. Rather than pushing emotions aside or rushing to move on, self-compassion allows us to create space for what we’re experiencing so we can process it fully and regain clarity. In this conversation I talk about: • Why emotional processing improves clarity and effectiveness • What self-compassion really means (and what it doesn’t) • How creating intentional space helps the nervous system reset • Why giving yourself time to process difficult emotions matters • A simple way to begin practicing self-compassion in your daily life If you’ve ever felt pressure to keep pushing forward without pause, I hope this episode offers a different perspective on how slowing down can actually support resilience, clarity, and confidence. Listen to the full episode and explore what self-compassion might look like in your own life.

    Building Peace Across Divides: The Work of Women Wage Peace with Angela Scharf

    What does it look like to keep working for peace in the Middle East when trust is scarce and the stakes are impossibly high? In this episode of Something New Is Possible, I’m speaking with Angela Scharf, a longtime activist and coordinator of the foreign relations team at Women Wage Peace. Angela shares how the movement began, why it intentionally includes women across political and religious lines, and how the partnership with Women of the Sun, a Palestinian women’s peace organization, grew through years of difficult, emotional dialogue. You’ll hear about the “Mothers’ Call,” why language matters, how international support has played a role, and what it takes to keep showing up after trauma and heartbreak. This conversation is less about tidy takeaways and more about the lived reality of activism and the determination to build a different future. If you’re looking for a grounded conversation about persistence, collaboration, and what it means to stay engaged, this episode is for you.

    Turning Awareness Into Impact | A Conversation with Joseph Gitler

    Some conversations are about impact. About responsibility. About what happens when someone sees a problem and decides not to look away. In this episode of Something New Is Possible, I sit down with Joseph Gitler, founder and chairman of Leket Israel, the country’s largest food rescue organization. What began in 2003 as a small volunteer effort to address hunger and food waste has grown into a national operation supporting over 415,000 people every week, partnering with 300+ nonprofits, powered by 95,000 volunteers, and rescuing tens of millions of kilos of food each year. This conversation is an invitation to zoom out. To reflect on impact beyond ourselves. And to remember that change often starts not with a perfect plan, but with a refusal to accept “this is just how it is.” If you’ve ever wondered what meaningful leadership looks like in real life, this conversation is for you.
