    Embracing Conflicting Emotions with Sara Eisemann

    Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation. In this episode we discuss: What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core. What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way The role of acceptance  We love hearing from our listeners.

    Addressing Communal Issues Honestly with Keshet Starr

    Can we be honest for a minute? Of course we can, we’re having a DMC! So let’s get real about being honest about communal issues. In other words, we know our community isn’t immune to its share of societal challenges, but is it possible to be sincere in acknowledging the issues while sincerely trying to improve them? And while we’re being honest about the problems, how can we maintain emunah and positivity as we’re face-to-face with those challenges? We discuss these questions and more with Keshet Starr, CEO Of ORA, the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. Keshet is an attorney, author, activist, speaker and nonprofit leader. She’s one of those people in the trenches doing the work but has managed to maintain her sensitivity, sincerity and emunah. Keshet is a true role model in many ways.  In this DMC we discuss, How Keshet got into the work of agunah advocacy How we can be honest about real issues in the community while maintaining positivity and emunah The first steps in making changes once we’ve identified a problem Effective and ineffective methods of making change Keshet’s opinion on grassroots efforts in the community How Orah has been successful in implementing change & what Keshet’s learned Keshet’s advice for those looking to improve an area in their community We love hearing from our listeners.

    Finding Meaning in Mourning with Sarah Rivkah Kohn

    We’ve entered the Three Weeks, and the Jewish calendar instructs us to have mourning on our mind. Yet it can be challenging to embrace the meaning of mourning smack in the middle of summer barbeques and road trips. We knew that Sarah Rivkah Kohn, founder of Links Family, would help us find the meaning in mourning. Links Family is an organization that provides support to children and teens who have lost a parent. Through her own personal loss, and her work with Links, Sarah Rivkah has learned so much about the process and significance of mourning and how it can apply to all of us, even if we haven’t lost a loved one.  On this DMC we discuss: How and why Sarah Rivkah founded Links Family What Sarah Rivkah has learned about mourning The various forms of loss  in the human experience How Sarah Rivkah’s experience informs her understanding of the loss of the Beis Hamikdash How we can make Tisha Baav more meaningful in our lives We love hearing from our listeners.
