When Taffy Brodesser-Akner became a writer, Mr. Lindenblatt, the father of one of her oldest friends, began asking to tell his story of survival during the Holocaust in one of the magazines or newspapers she wrote for. He took pride in telling his story, in making sure he fulfilled what he felt was the obligation of all Holocaust survivors, which was to remind the world what had happened to the Jews.His daughter Ilana knew it was a long shot but felt obligated to pass on the request — it was her father, after all. Taffy declined because after a life hearing about the Holocaust, she said, she was “all Holocausted out.”But, years later, when she learned of Mr. Lindenblatt's imminent passing, Taffy asked herself what would become of stories like his if the generation of hers that was supposed to inherit them had taken the privilege that came with another generation's survival and decided not to listen?So here it is, an old Jewish story about the Holocaust and a man who somehow survived the pernicious, organized and intentional genocide of the Jews. But right behind it, just two generations later, is another story, one about the children and grandchildren who have been so malformed by the stories that are their lineage that some of them made just as eager work of running from it, only to find themselves, same as anything you run from, having to deal with it anyway.  Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

Welcome to The Happy Mama Movement Podcast.This week's guest is Ilana Yahdav — a certified grief educator, storyteller, and advocate for reimagining our relationship with grief, especially during the profound identity shift of motherhood. In this deeply affirming conversation, we explore the powerful intersection between matrescence and grief, and how validating our emotions can lead to profound healing.We talk about:The transformative power of grief: Ilyana shares how the loss of her father plunged her into a decade-long journey through grief, and how discovering grief recovery changed the course of her life, helping her validate her feelings and eventually support others through their losses.Grief and matrescence as deeply intertwined: Ilyana reflects on the layered grief of becoming a mother—especially during the pandemic—and how discovering the concept of matrescence helped her finally name what she was experiencing. She emphasizes that grief is not just about death, but any significant change in life, including motherhood.Normalizing grief in motherhood: From the loss of identity to everyday transitions like a child's first steps or starting school, Ilana explains how grief is a natural part of motherhood. She highlights the importance of language, validation, and grief recovery tools in helping mothers understand and move through these complex emotions.Grieving who we were while embracing who we're becoming: Ilyana explores how we can hold both grief and gratitude—acknowledging that it's normal to mourn parts of our past selves, even while deeply loving our children and the life we've built.Leaning on community through nonlinear journeys: From motherhood to loss, Ilana reminds us that healing isn't meant to happen in isolation. We need each other. Both grief and matrescence unfold in unpredictable ways—and having a supportive village makes all the difference.If this episode resonated with you, please share it with loved ones who might need this reminder today.

Welcome back to Architecture 5 10 20! I'm your host, Guy Geier, Managing Partner of FXCollaborative Architects in New York. My guests for this podcast are pioneers and visionaries shaping the future of the built environment across various disciplines. Join me in exploring their remarkable journeys, discovering how they reach their current heights, and envisioning what lies ahead in the next 5, 10, and 20 years. Join me for this episode as I have an insightful conversation with Ilanah Judah, a former colleague of mine at FXCollaborative and now Americas Climate and Sustainability Leader at Arup. It has been so exciting to watch her grow into a major voice in climate resilience, and she brings a wealth of experience and clarity to a topic that is far too often misunderstood or oversimplified. Ilana unpacks what resilience really means in the context of the built environment and discusses why it's not just a checklist of add-ons. She explains how resilience differs from sustainability (even though they are deeply interconnected) and shares why thinking about resilience as an unbroken chain is so important for meaningful impact. Ilana and I talk through what a resilience journey can actually look like, from risk assessments and future scenarios to implementing and ongoing operations. She, in addition, reflects on how her career path shifted after Superstorm Sandy, why adaptation and emissions reduction need to be addressed together, and what is changing in how clients are thinking about climate risk today. If you are interested in how buildings and systems can actually prepare for (rather than just respond to) what is coming, then this one is definitely worth a listen. Ilana brings remarkable clarity to a topic that can easily get lost. Time stamps: [01:43] - Hear how Ilana's career in architecture evolved toward sustainability and resilience after witnessing Superstorm Sandy's devastation. [03:17] - A desire to understand resilience led Ilana to academia, consulting, and leadership at Arup. [06:46] - Ilana highlights the need for a shared definition of resilience. [08:57] - Ilana shares how she differentiates between sustainability and resilience. [12:31] - Ilana explains her thesis on adaptive mitigation. [13:34] - We discover that Ilana's resilience planning starts with risk assessments, aligning goals, and relocation if necessary. [16:35] - Developing a resilience plan requires prioritizing risks, budgeting, financing, and ensuring long-term maintenance. [18:49] - Hear about how Ilana helps investors assess climate risks. [21:15] - Ilana points to some of the benefits of innovative tech such as AI. [24:47] - Professionals need to go beyond codes and historical data to address future climate realities in design. [26:17] - Resilience is becoming more and more important to standards, with insurance and mortgage shifts possibly leading to major migration. [29:42] - Ilana argues that resilience demands thinking across scales and identifying vulnerabilities and challenges.

I have spoken before on the show about my absolute love and admiration for the one and only Nora Ephron, who is the reason why I am a writer. I have met my match in today's guest, Ilana Kaplan, who I previously worked with at People, who is absolutely fantastic, and who has written this gem of a book about our shared heroine called Nora Ephron at the Movies: A Visual Celebration of the Writer and Director Behind When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, and More, which came out last October 29. The words are beautiful, but it is a visually stunning book as well—one your coffee table absolutely needs. Today Ilana and I talk about the life, work, and legacy of Nora, who died far, far too soon at age 71 in 2012. And when I say I've met my match when it comes to being a Nora fan in Ilana, I mean it—she even had Nora in her wedding vows, which not even I can say I did. Among so much else, Ilana and I talk today about Nora's rom-com trio: When Harry Met Sally (which is my favorite movie of all time), Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail—and Ilana shocks me with a revelation about how one of those movies is actually meant to be a sequel of the other. We talk about Nora's successes in film, but also her failures, and which of Nora's movies Ilana thinks are underrated. Nora was a writer, a director, a playwright—we talk about her legacy and how her fingerprints are still felt, even 13 years after her death. Ilana is a writer and culture editor whose work has been everywhere from the aforementioned People to PAPER, The Independent, The New York Times, New York magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, GQ, Vanity Fair, Vogue, NPR, Pitchfork, Variety, Billboard, and more. She's totally compelling, and I can't wait for you to hear from her.
