In Season 1, the podcast aimed to talk about success in the face of failure, modern Judaism, and real life. Season 2 will deliver the same message, but even more potently. Zelda and Chana Rochel have individually and collectedly been challenged by the Jewish system they grew up in. Through their evolution, questions, failures, mistakes, and heartbreaks, they have begun to untangle much of what was keeping them in survival mode so they could truly be set free to thrive. This is what they’ll dissect each week with you: The Jewish journey. Real. Raw. And vulnerable. Because that is the only thing that can truly change lives, and maybe even save them. You’re only one episode away from being more honest with yourself. --- Podcast Edited and Produced by ALMND.
