B”H Imagine this… You baked a cake – your favorite and your family’s favorite – chocolate; and you feel like having a slice. So, you turn on water kettle to boil some water for tea, you take out a plate, not the disposable, the real, the china, you cut yourself a slice and put it on the plate; serve yourself your tea and, you sit, and have your tea and cake. You may finish it. Perhaps you don’t even finish it, because you realize you’re full; you’re satisfied. You put the dishes into the dishwasher and you continue with your day. And you don’t think about the cake again. Is that possible? My guest says it is. You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess. I’m Yael Trusch your host, welcome to the show. Today we’re talking about intuitive eating with Intuitive Eating Coach and Podcast Host, Rena Reiser. Rena is an Intuitive Eating Coach and the Host of the Jewish Intuitive Eating Journeys Podcast. But, Rena is not a newbie to Jewish Latin Princess. I had Rena way back at the beginning of my podcasting Journey in one of my most downloaded episodes, Jewish Latin Princess Podcast Episode 9. Back then, Rena and I discussed the personal journey that led her to intuitive eating and to becoming a certified Intuitive Eating Coach, the struggle women have with food and yes, we even delved into why this is a struggle not just prevalent in popular culture but even in the observant Jewish world? I encourage all of you to go back and listen to that episode and you’ll see why it’s one of my most popular.  Do you trust yourself around food? Do you call yourself an emotional eater? Have you tried every diet and food program in the planet? Well, Rena is going to talk about all that and more. What does she mean when she talks about “counterfeit control”? What lies at the other side of going through deep emotional and mental work with regards to our relationship with food? That sounds scary! But, hey it might get you out of the dieting cycle once and for all, and according to Rena, this deep work can translate into growth and transformation in other areas of our lives? Is weight loss the motivator do embark on an intuitive eating program?  What does unconditional permission to eat have to be balanced with? Listen to Rena’s answer because without that piece you’re missing what Intuitive Eating is all about. It’s time to start re-learning how to listen to our inner intuition, something my guest says, all women have – and I would have to agree. So listen up ladies, here’s Rena Reiser.  Today, Jewish Latin Princess listeners and readers can sign up for Rena’s intuitive eating group coaching program for the next week for only $1 for the first week.

Luego de haber participado de un viaje JWRP a Israel desde Chile, Tammy se mudo a Miami y vió que si bien habían organizaciones asociadas con JWRP en la ciudad, ninguna estaba guiada a las mujeres latinas. ¿Por que lanzar una organización que cree un sentido de comunidad para la mujer judía latina  en Miami? ¿Cuál es la necesidad que vio Tammy y por que lanzarse ella a hacerlo? Tammy ya está trabajando en su cuarto viaje a Israel y los últimos tres años no sólo ha llevado mujeres, sino que hay coordinado todo el año de crecimiento espiritual e intelectual, e inmersión local en actividades comunitarias que ocurre una vez las mujeres llegan de este viaje. ¿Por qué es tan importante continuar con este año de conexión y crecimiento? ¿Qué planes tiene Tammy para el futuro de JEM?

B”H Do you ever wonder what concrete steps you can take to be happy, like seriously happy. Not just get by your days, which is what most of us do, but be in a joyful state of mind. You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch your host. Today, I have the pleasure of bringing back to the show Rus Devora Wallen, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist. Rus Devorah is a friend of the show. She was with us back in Episode 49 where we talked all about meditation, her journey with meditation and her eventual development of Toratherapeutics, her therapy practice which incorporates the teachings and wisdom of the Torah.  And today she’s going to teach us concrete steps to impact our level of happiness and wellbeing, AND our emotional intelligence – ever heard of that term? You will now. And of course, we are going to learn how all of this is part of Judaism – not like oh by the way Judaism happens to talk about it, but Judaism has been telling us all these techniques for thousands of years. Some of us just never knew it! Myself included! You’ve probably heard me say before that Judaism is not just about ritual, but a G-dly wisdom that encompasses every single aspect of our lives. So of course that means our body, minds are souls! So lets get to it. Here’s the lovely Rus Devorah Wallen.  You can find Rus Devorah at Toratherapeutics.com. Listen to her talk about her personal journey towards Jewish observance, as well as everything you ever wanted to know about Meditation and the Jewish approach to it in Episode 49 of Jewish Latin Princess Podcast!

B”H You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch, Welcome to the Show. Today’s interview takes the concept of Parenting – Intentional Parenting – to a whole new level! I’m talking to Chavie Bruk. She is the Co-Director of Chabad Lubavitch of Montana, in Bozeman, Montana, a remote town with a small Jewish population. But that’s not why I brought her to the show – although yes, that’s pretty incredible. I brought her to the show because after facing the challenge of infertility, Chavie and her husband are now parents to 5 adopted children. But, it doesn’t just end there. The circumstances around each of these children’s adoption is more than unique and Chavie’s display of faith, perseverance and intentionality is exceptional and is something that you have to listen for yourselves. Just to name one of the incredible circumstances that you will hear today: Chavie’s 7 year old daughter has GLUT-1 Deficiency a disorder so rare that she’s the only one in the state of Montana to have it. I had the pleasure of listening to Chavie tell her story at a women’s convention and I knew even then that I wanted to hear more and share her with all of you in the podcast. This episode is not just for women considering adoption or facing infertility. This episode is for everyone! Everyone has a struggle, a challenge… everyone can learn the lessons that Chavie shares with us today. Get ready because this is authentic, real, and just absolutely inspiring. Here’s Chavie Bruk.

B”H She was recently named one of the “Most Outstanding Jewish American Women of Our Time” by Hadassa.

You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, Welcome to the Show! I’m Yael Trusch your host. And I have the one and only Lori Palatnik. You may by familiar with Lori as she is the Founding Director of the Jewish Women’s Renaissance Project, commonly known as JWRP. JWRP is an international initiative that brings thousands of women to Israel each year from now 26 countries on a highly subsidized trip, to inspire them with the beauty and wisdom of their heritage. She is an author and a sought-after speaker.   So, why exactly did Lori need to take this gigantic project on? How did she create such an organization? One which has grown rapidly and is impacting not just women, but by extent entire Jewish families. Listen to the steps that Lori took and what she ultimately decided to focus on, and why? Why is “comfort” not part of Lori’s lexicon? How did the Israeli government come on board and what has happened as a result? What are the challenges of doing this work and how does she handle them? Listen to the four things that Lori works on currently, daily. You’ll love those! What is next for Lori? Oh, what national award did she receive once upon a time?

But that’s not what did it. What was the turning point? How did she eventually find out that she is in fact a Jewish woman? What was the transition to a Jewish lifestyle like? What about her husband and children? And what about her art? How has Judaism informed it? Barbara is extremely prolific. How does the creative process happen for her? No, really, practically speaking, and what is she working on now? What’s in the artist’s mind? And what is her take on charity? Wait till you hear that! Admirable and Inspiring, here’s Barbara Hines.

B”H Is there a non-adversarial approach to divorce? Can two people dissolving their marriage actually do it in a respectful way that takes into account their interests and protects their children from their parents’ dispute and saves them a whole lot of money and time? Welcome to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch your host and today I’m talking to my dear mother in law, Mrs. Norma Levine Trusch. Why? Well because she is one of the pioneers of Collaborative Law in the state of Texas and in this country. What is Collaborative Law and why should people pursue it in lieu of litigation. Is it for every couple? Who is the perfect couple to go through this process? Why should collaborative law be a course that should be taught in every law school? What about the Jewish Get, how does it play into the picture? If you want to know anything about collaborative law either because you or someone you know might be undergoing divorce or because you are contemplating going to law school, Norma Trusch is the person to talk to. Norma has been a collaborative lawyer since the turn of the century when the certification first came to Texas and get this, she was already 63 years old and ready to retire from practicing law! Why was she burned out from law? And why does she say now that she’s not planning on retiring ever! Norma was Board Certified in Family Law in 1983, became also a mediator a few years into her career as a lawyer and entered the field of Collaborative Law in the year 2000. Has been named Texas Super Lawyer by Texas Monthly Magazine, many years consecutively and Elected to the Best Lawyers in America in 2006. She’s a recipient of the Dan R. Price Award for Outstanding Contributions to Family Law and the Gay G Cox Collaborative Law Award. And most recently, in 2018 received the lifetime achievement award for her work in mediation and collaborative law by the Association for Conflict Resolution. This is certainly a topic that I knew nothing about before I came into the Trusch family – even though my own mother is an attorney as well – and I think we all need to learn about it.

B”H We’ve talked about living a mission driven life many times on this podcast – many of my guests have told us that the path they’re on is really larger than themselves and that because they are doing things with a higher purpose… that is really the secret to them being and achieving whatever it is.  Today I have the pleasure to introduce you to an woman I look up to as an influencer and a communicator of the beauty of Jewish life, someone who’s work, again, reflects this idea of being mission driven and doing things for a higher purpose. I have Chana Weinberg on the show. Chana is the Editor of The Jewish woman.org, the most popular Jewish educational site for women and a satellite chabad.org. Chana is also the author of five books. Her sixth book, Shabbat Delights, is about to come out, and we talk about it on the interview. Chana is a sought after inspirational speaker, a wife, and mother of six children (and four grandchildren) k”h. Did Chana think she would be in a position of influence? Was that plan? How did that come about? Listen to what she has to say about talents and the different stages of our lives as women. What is Chana’s perspective on “having it all”? I think many of you will appreciate it. What about feminism – how do we look at it from a Jewish perspective? What is it lacking? As the Editor of The Jewish Woman, Chana hears from women from all over the world. What are some of the most common things she hears? What are Jewish women searching for? Does she ever hear from people who she’s impacted? Wait ‘till you hear this story! Listen to Chana’s message and practical tips to staying positive. This and so much more from the inspiring Chana Weinberg.

B”H Question for you, Do you see a visibly Jewish looking man, with a kippah, peyot and a beard and assume he’s a Rabbi or a diamond dealer? Or worse, a “rock-throwing-women-subjugating-extremist”? Do you a double take when you find out that your new, smart, put together, confident colleague is a Shabbat oberving, mikvah going, wig wearing Jewish woman. “What!? I thought they weren’t allowed to work!? She’s so normal!” You say.   You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess, I’m Yael Trusch your host. My guest today is on a mission to break down the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding Jewish orthodoxy and making vibrant meaningful Orthodoxy known to all people and all Jews. How bad are we at our own P.R.? If most of what we know and assume about Jewish orthodoxy is coming from what we read in the headlines, see in movies and in episodes of Law & Order, then we still have a lot of work to do in this area. Work that Allison Josephs, Founder of Jew in the City has taken head on for the past 10 years. How did she end up in the path of Orthodoxy and why did she decide to become vocal about the beautiful life she found and re-educate Jews about Orthodoxy? And what about the Jews who grew up Orthodox? What could Allison possibly offer them? These important questions and more answered today by Allison Josephs of Jew in the City.  DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPT You may also like | Puede que también te gusteEpisode 88: Chagit Sofiev Leviev, CEO of Leviev USA & PhilanthropistOn my mind: Books || En mi mente: librosEpisode 121: Lara Mizel Creator of the Movie “Ohr”Episode 19: Sarah Chana Radcliffe, Parenting ExpertEpisode 15: Abigail Pogrebin, Author of My Jewish Year B”H Question for you, Do you see a visibly Jewish looking man, with a kippah, peyot and a beard and assume he’s a Rabbi or a diamond dealer?

B”H If you need a good dose of positive energy – and my guess is that we all do – let me introduce you Nikki Schreiber. Upbeat, optimistic and full of love, Nikki is the Creator of Humans of Judaism. I got the chance to meet Nikki in person a few months ago while I was in New York and I had a great time. Her positivity and good nature is contagious and if you haven’t heard of Humans of Judaism, well, thank me later. You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess. I’m Yael Trusch Your host, It is Monday, April 23, and we’re on the 55th episode of Jewish Latin Princess, welcome to the show. You know what they say about overnight success – “it took me ten years to become an overnight success.” Well, it seems like Nikki Schreiber is defying that with the creation and success of Humans of Judaism. What was the impetus to creating what is now one of the leading Jewish media brands? Did she anticipate it was going to be the success that it turned out to be? Was the Jewish world thirsty for something like this and thus, Humans of Judaism become a leader in its field in such a short amount of time? With over 100,000 followers on instagram and facebook, Nikki is creating a space full of positivity, humor and lightheartedness, where all Jews can feel proud of their heritage and all the things that unite us as a nation. But, the Internet and social media can be the wild west, how does Nikki keep it positive and stays away from the infiltration of contagious negativity on Human’s diverse social media platforms? Does she ever get to unplug? How? What is next for Humans of Judaism? And who does she look up to? All of this and more, with the delightful, Nikki Schreiber. Head over to Humans of Judaism to subscribe to Nikki’s newsletter and enter into a fun giveaway. Nikki loves giving tzedakah to Amudim.

B”H Did you do an accounting of how much you spent on Passover? Did you go over budget? I actually did! My only saving grace is that my meat and chicken order this year was large enough to last me till Rosh Hashanah. So it all balances out. Budget for Passover!? You’re listening to Jewish Latin Princess. Welcome! I’m Yael Trusch your host. Yes, my guest today would tell you its a wise thing to have a budget for Passover and for everything else. And I would agree. Although the word budget does not sound very Princess like, does it? My guest today claims budget and abundance can go in the same sentence! She says that we work so hard on figuring out how to make it, we need to also work hard on knowing how we’re spending it. I have Mara Strom on the show! Mara is the creator of Kosher on a Budget. Mara and I talk about her incredible journey with debt that led to the creation of this highly successful blog, which has been a profitable business for Mara for a number of years. Mara, who made Aliyah last year, tells us how to plan financially for Aliyah and what are the financial benefits of living in Israel. How scary was it to go public with her financial struggles, especially living in an observant Jewish community. How to deal with the many expectations and pressures and dare I say, judgement that we may face as part of a close-knit community when we’re determined to take control over our financial lives and not, keep up with the Schwartzes. And what happens if we’re not in debt or if we’ve gotten out of debt; do we ditch the budget then, or will it still serve us? Mhhh, listen to what Mara has to say…. I suggest you download Mara’s ebook, The Better Budget Guide and use the code PRINCESS to get $5 off the book and workbook! The Better Budget Guide will teach you everything that Mara has been teaching for years about budgeting, how to feel good about it, and succeed at it. And there’s more! If you are ready to embark on this work full on and start seeing the savings immediately, and I’m talking 30% savings just on your groceries alone – for most of us that is at least $300 of after tax money in our bank accounts a month… hmmm… you know what that can do for you when you put it into a low cost index fund!
