360 – The Iceberg Within: Radical Self-Honesty and the Path Forward

We’re back! After almost two months away — because life here has been a lot — I’m so glad to be back with a new episode, and as always, joined by my husband Rabbi Yonasan Reiser.

This week we’re talking about being honest with ourselves.

The kind of honesty that requires us to look underneath the surface — at the beliefs, the feelings, the needs, the thoughts that are quietly running the show whether we acknowledge them or not.

We talk about why we avoid this kind of honesty, what happens when we don’t feel our feelings (including a powerful Torah insight about anger and hatred), and what it actually means to embody something.

We also get into shame, compassion, the language of the body, and why focusing is so powerful as a gentle path to self-discovery — one hair at a time.
