    + The tests to ask for if you want to know about your brain health

    295: Being Jewish in America, and Finding Faith in a Time of Tumult, with Rabbi Cantor Judy Greenfeld

    295: Being Jewish in America, and Finding Faith in a Time of Tumult, with Rabbi Cantor Judy Greenfeld

    What's it like to be Jewish in America right now?

    This week's guest, Rabbi Cantor Judy Greenfeld, is here to talk about that and so much more.

    We discuss why it is all of our work right now to build bridges, look for the commonalities, and seek God in the everyday, no matter how--or to whom--you pray.

    It's a conversation that not only highlights the reality of what Jews in America are facing right now, but also offers a glimmer of hope that there is a brighter world ahead.

    Topics covered:

    + Finding peace in our turbulent world

    + Talking to kids about God

    + Holding onto faith, even through hard times

    + Having civil conversations with philosophical opponents

    + Viewing our ideological opponents as humans

    + Protecting your energy through collective trauma

    Find Rabbi Cantor Judy online here, and on Instagram here.

    This week I'm hosting Elise Tabin, former Executive Beauty Editor at New Beauty Magazine and the founder of Twiish Skin, the line for tweens and teenagers who want to get in the skincare game, but don't want to be stealing their mom's products.

    Elise and I run through:

    + The exact products your tween or teen should be using

    + The ingredients they need, and the ones they need to avoid

    + Why she chose colloidal silver to feature in Twiish

    + Red light therapy

    + Procedures for the moms like buccal fat removal, lip lift, and other procedures

    ...and more!

    292: Family, Fame and Loyalty, Italian-American Style: "On the Rocks" Author Maria Palmer on her Father's Rise and Fall from Grace

    292: Family, Fame and Loyalty, Italian-American Style: "On the Rocks" Author Maria Palmer on her Father's Rise and Fall from Grace

    This week on the podcast you're coming home with me to McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

    An Italian-American enclave about ten miles west of Pittsburgh, it's the home of the once-famous Primadonna restaurant, which serves as the backdrop of the story you'll hear this week from "On the Rocks" author Maria Palmer--daughter of the restaurant's owner, Joe Costanzo.

    "On the Rocks" chronicles Joe's rise to success in the 1990s as not only the owner of the Primadonna, but also a radio host, columnist, and aspiring politician, to his sharp fall in the early 2000s, ending in a stint in federal prison.

    Maria walks us through what it's like to watch as everything her father has built comes crumbling down, and what it's like to recover from it.

    Come with us on a conversation that dives into hard work, loyalty, betrayal, and a whole lot of Italian food.

    Get your copy of On the Rocks HERE.
