    26. Dating by the Numbers: A Rational Approach Towards Romance

    Many people do some type of reflection about their dating process - myself included - but I can pretty confidently say it’s not usually to this extent. In this episode my husband Jesse, ever the reflective software engineer, takes us through what a deep dive into your dating history can look like. We discuss the important takeaways it provided him with, how to make one and why it’s so crucial. Get ready to nerd out big time over dating! Questions we cover: 1. Why is trusting your gut not enough in dating? 2. What is an effective way to reflect on the dating process? 3. How can charting my dating history help me find The One? Resources: Here is a link to two Love Chart templates Jesse and I put together. The first is a more broken down step by step run through, whereas the second is for those who more spreadsheet savvy. Enjoy! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XqTkygSTpNkriev2Spj4usJp4P9Dfj6Q_pIuHUE_fN4/edit?usp=sharing

    25. Moving Out (or Back?)

    If you've been living in the same place as a single for a while, you're likely craving a change. And chances are, you've fantasized about getting out of where you currently live and moving somewhere new. But as exciting as moving can be,  it definitely comes with some challenges - even when it’s temporary.  That's what this episode is about. Three different people, who tell different stories about three very different moves.

    24. The Only Way Through, is Through

    I know that the Jewish community around the world is struggling tremendously to process what is happening in our homeland. This episode was not an easy one to record, but I found it extremely comforting to make. Connecting and speaking to others has been whats allowed me to process and deal with such a tragic and scary time. A friend of mine yesterday quoted me the title of this episode. It’s times like these where we don’t know what to say, how to respond. All we can do is just experience it. We unfortunately just have to go through it. Together. And hope for the best very soon.  May Hashem protect our soldiers and the families of Israel. May He grant us success in our efforts to guarding our land and allow us to see the end to such a dark time very soon.  Articles I've found healing and resonate with: 1. Andrew's Article: Israel will live but part of us Has Been Shattered - https://forgingtogether.substack.com/ 2. Trying our best by Shayna Goldberg: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/trying-our-best/
