Trigger Warning: Discussion of sexual assault and murder 

Today's guest is the epitome of turning pain into purpose. On this episode, Jessalynn sits down with Rabbi Cantor Judy Greenfeld, who bravely shares her journey of overcoming tragedy and trauma. At 16, Judy faced the devastating murder of her father and later experienced adult clergy sexual misconduct. Despite encountering disbelief and a lack of justice, she emphasizes the importance of opening up and sharing secrets to free oneself from shame. Judy details her healing process, which includes physical and spiritual practices like guided meditation, Kundalini yoga, and sound bowl therapy. She reflects on the dissolution of her 30-year marriage, her son's cancer diagnosis, and the significance of authentic relationships. Judy offers practical tools for processing trauma, highlighting the necessity of finding supportive people and not suffering in silence. We're so grateful that Judy shared her story with us, and we hope this episode offers hope to anyone out there amid their own healing journey!
