    Rejected, Broken... Then Unstoppable with Chava Lowy

    In this powerful episode, Tamara sits down with bridal makeup artist, entrepreneur, and content creator Chava Lowy for an honest conversation about resilience, rejection, and finding purpose. After being isolated from her classmates, rejected by schools, and struggling with severe acne as a teenager, Java shares how those painful experiences shaped her confidence instead of breaking it. She opens up about building a successful makeup business at a young age, learning to trust herself, healing from childhood wounds, and why your greatest setbacks can become the foundation of your biggest success. Whether you've ever felt overlooked, misunderstood, or like you weren't enough, this episode is a reminder that your story isn't over and your hardest seasons may be preparing you for something far greater.

    From Controlling Wife to Empowered Woman: Esther Malka's Marriage Transformation | Talk2Tamara

    From Controlling Wife to Empowered Woman: Esther Malka's Marriage Transformation | Talk2TamaraIn this powerful episode of Talk2Tamara, host Tamara Gestetner sits down with Irina, also known as Esther Malka — a speaker, podcast host, and content creator who helps women strengthen their marriages by embracing traditional feminine values. Esther opens up about her own marriage struggles — being controlling, ungrateful, and living in "victim mode" — and how she transformed her mindset to build a happy, healthy relationship. We talk about the difference between masculine and feminine energy, why women are natural "receivers" and men are natural "givers," the danger of rejecting your husband's efforts, and how embracing femininity (not feminism) can actually empower women in marriage. This conversation is honest, controversial, and eye-opening — a must-watch for any woman who wants to understand her marriage on a deeper level. 🎙️ Follow Esther Malka: Instagram @whatyourhusbandwonttellyou.pod 🎙️ Follow Tamara Gestetner: Instagram @talk2tamara 🌐 Website: tamaragestetner.com#feminineenergy #relationshipadviceforwomen #Talk2Tamara #EstherMalka #MarriageTips #jewishpodcast #WifeGoals #healthymarriages #podcastbrasil

    Survival Mode Is Making You Sick — Here's How to Heal | Adina Erez Explains

    Your body never stops talking to you — the question is, are you listening? In this episode, I sit down with Adina Erez, CEO of Bleu Glove Concierge, who blends evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach to healing. We talk about how chronic stress, grief, and "survival mode" show up in the body as real physical symptoms — from Crohn's disease and IBS to burnout and emotional eating. Adina shares the hard truths she tells patients every day: that hunger is a life force, that compassion (not perfectionism) is the real healer, and that you can't expect anyone else to be on your team if you're not on your own. We get personal — I open up about my own diagnosis with Crohn's after losing my mother, and how "the body keeps score" became more than just a phrase for me. This is a conversation about medicine, but it's also about grief, self-abandonment, and finally coming home to yourself. 🩺 In this episode: Why the same diagnosis can lead to completely different outcomes The link between grief, trauma, and autoimmune disease Why hunger is often the first thing we ignore Compassion vs. perfectionism — and why one heals and one harms Learning to be okay with not being okay "Are you on your own team?" — the question everyone needs to ask themselves 💙 About Adina Erez & Bleu Glove Concierge: Bleu Glove is redefining what healthcare can be. We bring expert medical care to patients at home, in the office, in our clinic, and virtually, while partnering with businesses and healthcare organizations to provide comprehensive corporate medicine, occupational health, medical clearances, and wellness solutions.

    From Alcoholic to Comedian: Chanie Lisbon’s Raw Story of Addiction, Faith & Forgiveness | Talk 2 Tamara

    Send us Fan Mail Comedian Chani Lisbon sits down with Tamara on Talk2Tamara for one of the rawest, most honest conversations yet — covering alcohol addiction, losing her faith, living with alopecia, and how she found her way back to sobriety, Hashem, and herself. Chani  opens up about taking her first drink at 15 and feeling like it was “the answer to her entire life,” becoming a functioning alcoholic in her 20s in New York, the random encounter on Kingston Avenue that led her to recovery, and the painful moments of relapse-adjacent temptation — including living with alopecia and losing her hair three times. This episode is honest, vulnerable, and unexpectedly funny. Chani shares how she rebuilt her relationship with Judaism, became a full-time Jewish comedian, moved from New York to Florida, and learned to forgive the people who hurt her most — including a moment where she looked at her abuser across a room and, for the first time, felt only love. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, faith, identity, or forgiveness — this conversation will give you hope. 🎤 Guest: Chani Lisbon — Comedian 🎙️ Host: Tamara — Talk2Tamara WHAT WE COVER: 00:00 - Hook: A really hard day before the podcast 01:00 - Intro: Meet Chani Lisbon 03:00 - Growing up, divorce, and finding alcohol at 15 08:00 - Moving to New York and becoming a functioning alcoholic 14:00 - The moment that led to getting sober 19:00 - Alopecia, pain, and choosing not to drink 22:00 - Becoming a full-time Jewish comedian 28:00 - Moving from New York to Florida 35:00 - Forgiveness, faith, and looking at her abuser with love 49:00 - Dating, marriage, and surrendering to Hashem 58:00 - Where to find Chani + closing thoughts FOLLOW TAMARA: Instagram: @talk2tamara Website: Tamaragestetner.com FOLLOW CHANIE LISBON: Instagram: @chani_lisbon Merch: “Hashem is Legit” / “Good Jewish Girl” #Talk2Tamara #ChaniLisbon #SobrietyJourney #AddictionRecovery #JewishComedian #FaithAndRecovery #AlcoholAddiction #MentalHealthPodcast #PodcastInterview #RecoveryStory #Alopecia Support the show Follow Tamara on Instagram @Talk2Tamara, subscribe on your favorite podcast platform for new episodes on relationships and personal growth.
