While an entire generation knows her as "Israel’s Sweetheart," she has used her massive platform to fight for the truth during our most defining moments. We share a unique bond as former Canadians who cherish our upbringing there, but for both of us, Israel is the only place we call home. ​ Beyond the screen, Ashley holds a Master’s in Counter-Terrorism and served as an officer in the IAF. Even with the hostages finally home, including her cousin Agam Berger, her mission hasn't stopped. She continues to lead as a digital pioneer, a major podcasting voice, and the founder of AWB Makeup—all while raising five children. ​ In this episode, we’re getting past the titles to talk about the real cost of a public life. We dive into how she stays grounded, balances an empire with deep conviction, and what truly makes her tick. ​Looking forward to your comments!

Much has changed since his first appearance in Episode 12.  Drawing on years of experience strategizing for brands like Google and Apple, Eitan’s focus has shifted toward a more urgent, personal mission: the fight against global antisemitism. ​In this episode, we move past the professional headlines to explore the man behind the movement. Eitan shares a raw perspective on reclaiming the Jewish narrative and explains why "Jewish Pride" is the ultimate act of resilience in 2026. We discuss the psychological toll of the ongoing conflict with Iran, the struggle to maintain a creative spirit during times of trauma, and the delicate balance between planning for the future and surrendering to fate. This is a deep dive into identity, courage, and the necessity of finding your voice when the rest of the world goes silent. ​If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe to the channel and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this message of pride and resilience today. ​Connect with Eitan: https://substack.com/@eitanchitayat https://imthatjew.com/ https://www.instagram.com/eitanchitayat_words/ https://www.youtube.com/@EitanChitayat_Words https://www.facebook.com/eitanchitayat ​☕️ Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/TheDaynaShow

He is a rare example of leadership in action, cutting through the noise of the mainstream media to get to the heart of what actually matters for the Jewish world today. ​In this episode, we sit down for an honest conversation about the reality on the ground, the stories the media misses, and what it means to lead with conviction in times of uncertainty. This is a deep dive into courage, heritage, and the high-stakes world of international advocacy. ​Connect with Jonny & From the Depths ​Jonny's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonnydaniels ​From the Depths Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fromthedepthsfoundation ​If you enjoyed this episode, please Like, Comment, and Subscribe to help us bring more inspiring conversations to the world. ​☕️ Support my work and future episodes: https://buymeacoffee.com/

    Nicole Rubinovich | Raising the Israeli Bar | Episode 68

    🧦 Sponsor: Groovim Socks Get 45₪ off when you order 3+ pairs using the link below or code DAYNA at checkout. 👉 https://groovim.co.il/DAYNA Nicole Rubinovich is an Israeli Olympic weightlifter, a multiple-time national champion, and an international competitor representing Israel on the global stage. In this episode, we go beyond the platform to meet the person behind the lifts — her discipline, her mindset, and what it means to build a life around a sport that demands everything. We talk about what drew her into Olympic weightlifting, the level of precision and control the sport requires, and how that kind of training shapes the way you think and move through the world. There’s a shared understanding between us of what this sport gives you — not just physically, but mentally — and how it carries into life far beyond the gym. Nicole also speaks about what it means to represent Israel in competition, and the sense of responsibility and identity that comes with stepping onto that stage. This conversation is about more than strength — it’s about focus, consistency, and the kind of person you become through it. 👉 If you’re into real, thoughtful conversations about discipline, identity, and what it takes to commit fully to something — stick around, subscribe, and join me here on The Dayna Show. 🔗 Connect with Nicole & Power Club: 🏋️‍♀️ Wingate Trainer Program: https://wingate.org.il/trainers_school/mm/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23265666628&gbraid=0AAAAAD1sp_CHFuws5hk5XEYuR6FU9pVTY&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxpX4qLbxkgMVXqODBx1y-zzNEAAYASAAEgKknPD_BwE⁠ 🌐 Power Club Website: https://www.power-club.co.il⁠ 📸 Instagram (Power Club): https://www.instagram.com/powerclubil
