Understanding The Adelson's: Roots, Culture & Control Families that look “close” on the outside can actually be suffocating on the inside. In this segment, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, along with Stacy and Todd, to unpack the roots of enmeshed families—the kind where loyalty becomes control. We dig into cultural influences, from Jewish and Asian traditions that normalize family loyalty, to the rise of helicopter parenting. We explore how narcissistic parents turn children into extensions of themselves, expecting achievements to reflect back on them rather than fostering independence. Shavaun explains the family continuum: disengaged (hands-off), balanced (healthy independence), and enmeshed (over-involved). Where does a family like the Adelsons fit? They raised high-achieving children, but at what cost? Their careers soared, but their moral compasses cracked. This conversation looks at how enmeshment breeds anxiety, depression, and adult children who struggle with identity and boundaries. We also ask: Is there ever such a thing as a “good” enmeshed family, or is it always toxic in the long run?

According to the National Association of Legal Professions, when I graduated from Law School in 1988 only 2.7% of graduating attorneys made the choice to go solo.Looking at those same numbers, it's easy to track the strength of the economy with the number of new attorneys going solo increasing during economic downturns.But now that so much of the work we do can be done virtually, what used to be one of the largest challenges for any attorney deciding to hang out their own shingle – finding physical office space – has all but been eliminated. As my guest today points out, with the ability to work remotely no longer in question, the stigma of being what was once called “post-office attorney” is fading.Nikita Lamar is an attorney specializing in Family Law, Trademarks, and Probate & Estate Planning. After graduating from Law School in the wake of the Great Recession, Nikita would found The Lamar Legal Group and, as she herself has written, her commitment to preserving what clients have worked tirelessly to build is the cornerstone of her practice. We talk about her unlikely journey to law school, practical and philosophical tips for attorneys thinking of starting their own practice, and how vulnerability and empathy can coexist with zealousness. Enjoy the show! 

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Jennifer Stempel, recipe developer, cooking instructor, and author of  “With a Needle and Thread: A Jewish Folktale from Cuba,” a children's book that will be out in October.    A classically trained storyteller and writer, Stempel frequently taps into her mixed Cuban and Jewish heritage to weave tales that engage, inspire, and enlighten.    “With a Needle and Thread” is about a grandmother and granddaughter - and how a piece of clothing transforms through lifecycle events. It puts a lens on the small Jewish community - the island of Santiago de Cuba, where Stempel's family is from - and the unique ability they have to “MacGyver” life.   “Whenever they are faced with a situation, where they don't have what they need to accomplish whatever goal, they figure it out” Stempel explains. “They use what they have, they are really resourceful [and] inventive.”    In Spanish, it's called “lo que sea.”   “This story showcases those qualities in a very Jewish way,” Stempel says.    This MacGyvering translates to the kitchen, as well as to other aspects of life. And while food is not a main focus, there is food in the book.   “It would not be a book that I write if there isn't at least a little bit of food,” she says. “Food is very much a passion of mine - it always has been - and I find that it is the great uniter."   Stempel is also founder of The Cuban Reuben blog.   “When I first started it, the emphasis on the posts really were showcasing how - not just in my. Identity, but also in the food that I eat - do these two cultures sort of meld as one?” she explains. ”So the Cuban sandwich and a Ruben sandwich to me were like the Cuban side and the Jewish side coming together … my first post was the Cuban Reuben sandwich, which combined [both].”   While the blog is not currently active, there are plenty of delicious recipes, including one for guava and cheese pastry, which you can find at JewishJournal.com.   Jennifer Stempel talks about lo que sea and “With a Needle and Thread,” her love of food, and how she embraces her Jewish and Cuban heritage. She also shares some of her favorite recipes and how she MacGyvers in the kitchen to make meals from what she has on hand.    Learn more about Jennifer Stempel at JenniferStempel.com, get more recipes at thecubanreuben.com, and follow @TheCubanReuben on Instagram.  For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

Our Summer 2025 series, Beside Still Waters, focuses on the places where creativity brings life into a world fatigued by brokenness and division. From jazz to Jane Austen and in between, this season we're focusing on the ways literature and the arts can refresh and challenge our inner lives—and connect us with the Creator of the good, the true, and the beautiful.Today's episode concludes our summer series.

And it is sacred.”And if this conversation resonates with you, consider joining the Trinity Forum community as a member, at ttf.org. You can find the full video of this conversation there too.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Jeremy Kneller Hernandez, owner of Kneller's Delicatessen & Appetizing in Tucson, Arizona.   “[A good deli] is like a barbershop with food; everyone knows each other by name and it's just cozy,” Hernandez says. “When I have people in the deli here, who are literally hanging out all day eating breakfast and lunch and talking to people … it warms my heart.”   Hernandez - whose father is Hispanic and from East LA; his mom is Jewish from Queens - would spend summers with his grandparents in New York, where family gatherings were never missed and his bubbe's cooking was non-stop in the kitchen.    “The aroma of brisket, kugel, rugelach, and schmaltz - so much schmaltz  - would fill the air with a sense of warmth and a lot of love,” he says. “My grandpa and I would hit a delicatessen almost every morning before Oyster Bay for a day of fishing or the Shea Stadium for a Mets' game.”   After working in the world of food since age 15 - and feeling as if the deli was a second home - it was finally time for him to open his own place. He wanted to bring the deli vibe to the desert.   Jeremy Kneller Hernandez shares his love of deli, his dual-cultural upbringing (“ I'm very grateful to have had both experiences,” he says.), and the role of music in his life and in the kitchen. He talks about some of the ways he “spices up” traditional deli food and his take on his great aunt's knish recipe, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.   “There's something about the flow of making knish,” he says. “It's a beautiful melody that comes together with just perfect timing; it's fun to make and it's really fun to master.”   Learn more about Jeremy Kneller Hernandez and Kneller's Delicatessen & Appetizing at knellersdelicatessen.com and follow @knellersdelicatessen on Instagram and Facebook.    For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.

The intersection of sports and celebrity can create unexpected phenomena. Betting scandals in sports raise questions about integrity and coincidence. The WNBA is gaining attention, but not always for the right reasons. Personal stories can highlight the bond between humans and animals. Humor can be found in the most unexpected situations, like chugging coffee. Route management strategies vary widely among delivery drivers. Trusting drivers over automated systems can lead to better efficiency. The importance of community and shared experiences in the workplace.

In this episode of Overdrive, David Brown and Brian Smith dive into the quirks, jargon, and big personalities of the motoring and transport world. We start with a NSW Government report on Sydenham Station's upgrades—dense with transport-speak but easily translated into plain English. From there, it's off to Sydney's first-ever Light Commercial Vehicle Show, where vans, utes, and even cargo bikes are vying for the last-mile delivery crown. ANCAP's latest safety results are in: Volkswagen's Terramar aces the tests with five stars, but Peugeot's hybrid 3008/5008 twins don't quite make the grade. Nissan's long-awaited Ariya EV gets its Australian specs and pricing, while Suzuki launches its first new nameplate in more than a decade—the compact hybrid Fronx, aimed at first-time buyers and downsizers. A Facebook post sparks a chat about the SUV-ification of prestige sports car brands—think Aston Martin DBXs in the wild—and the team has a laugh over car jargon quirks, from “dampeners” to “VIN numbers.” We wrap up with a full road test of Toyota's colossal Tundra pickup. Equal parts luxury cruiser and towing workhorse, it's a vehicle that raises the question: how big is too big for Australian roads?
