I Just Have to Say with Laura Max Laura Max Rose

About a week ago, half of my social media shared the now-viral AI image with text that read "All Eyes on Rafah." The other half shared another viral AI image, "Where were your eyes on October 7th?" This contrast underscored our state of division as we find ourselves injesting more and more conflicting news on the war in Israel each day.



My guest on this podcast, Daniel Farber, lives in Jerusalem, Israel, and was there with his family on October 7th and on each day since. His commentary on how social media effects how we interpret war stems from his own personal experience, as well as a stunning experiment he conducted on instagram. Daniel served in the IDF and has extensive commentary on those videos you might be seeing of Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Tune in e to hear what he wants everyone to understand about what they're seeing unfold on TikTok, one 15-second video at a time.

How to look your best and gain the TRUST of your audience on Zoom with one very surprising trick (I was shocked by this one, and by how important it is!)

How to use social media to your benefit (and not your detriment) when trying to find clothes you love

What she wants you to know about doing hard things and the power of patience (it's not what you think)

Do you struggle to make big and small decisions?

Are you wondering if those signs life is giving you are real or imagined?

Have you gone through a major life change and want to hear about what you can look forward to in your next chapter?

In this chat with Julie Lauren, host of Hashtag No Filter, we're talking about signs from above, growth after major change, and how our lives have changed - and changed us - in the last few years.

I spent the month of May really swimming upstream as a parent. That's when I had a realization about parenting advice that I'm sharing with you today.

Smiling, happy siblings are the picture we see often when presented with family snapshots on social media and in holiday cards, but are siblings who get along really imperative to a functioning family? If your kids don't like each other, is there anything you can do about that? Blimie Heller returns to Look Ma' No Hands to give her perspective.
