The Jewish Divorce Project Podcast Noam Raucher & Leeron Tal

In Episode 81 Noam and Leeron discuss Passover nad how you elebrate a holiday even if you don’t have your kids. We also talk with Andrea Hipps a certified divorce coach and how to make your former partner irrelevant by moving beyond forgiveness to even forgetfulness. We  talk about why it is important, and share a few steps that help listeners make their way to the promised land.

This week Noam and Leeron tackle a interesting topic: Open marriages. We sit down with ”Cindy” who talks to us about her open marriage to ”Jim” (We love 90210!). We protect Cindy’s identity not because there is anything to be ashamed of with an open marriage. But because we’re all entitled to some privacy in life, and there are those who also judgmental of open relationships. Nonetheless, we have a fascinating conversation about: dating, cucking, unicorns, ethical-non-monogamy, and polyamory. Most importantly we discuss how an open marriage can have amazing benefits for you and your spouse- including an improved sex life!

Note: At the beginning of the episode we mislabel it ”episode 80.” We’re almost there, but really, this is episode 79.

And in ep 79 Noam and Leeron sit down with Sharon Pope. Sharon is a certified Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert helping women and men get the tools they need to improve, heal, or release their struggling marriages.

No guest this week. But Instead we talk about gradually letting go of old possessions that remind us of our marriage and past lives; and good reasons to stay or leave your marriage. In the process of the conversation Leeron mentions her strategy for helping one of her clients move on when his marriage has failed: Jumbo’s Clown Room.

This week, Noam and Leeron sit down with Erin Levin, founder and CEO of Hello Divorce, and talk about the process of getting divorced and having a team behind you. Erin Levine is not your typical attorney. With over a decade of experience in litigating complex family matters, she saw the need for a kinder, easier and more affordable pathway out of marriage.

After talking about her nerves, she welcomed our guest Lauren Zaslansky Conner. Lauren was a past Board President at Burbank Temple Emanu El where Leeron worked as the Preschool Director. She shares her experience as a community leader when a congregant or employee goes through a divorce as well as how the kids are involved.
