Skincare isn't just self-care—it's a divine commandment. Join us as we uncover the surprising connections between everyday skincare routines and sacred rituals, and how this ancient practice can transform and inspire us. In this week's episode of Madlik, we explore a fascinating aspect of ancient Israelite culture that's often overlooked: the significance of anointing oil. Far from being a mere cosmetic practice, anointing held deep spiritual and social importance in biblical times.   Key Takeaways Anointing with oil wasn't just a ritual—it was a powerful status symbol that transformed ordinary people into priests, kings, and even the Messiah. The Bible's skincare secrets weren't just about beauty; they carried deep spiritual and cultural significance, influencing rituals that lasted centuries. The special anointing oil was so sacred that making or using it improperly came with severe consequences—including exile.

Send us a textNew Year's resolution? Diet? Eat better for a few weeks, then go back to old habits? Well, maybe they aren't resolutions at all but wishful thinking.Resolution means to be resolved, a firm decision to do something or not. But what if deeper beliefs run contrary to that "resolution" preventing you from getting that better body or better life and not eating emotionally.Why keep going through that awful cycle of shame and diet, rinse and repeat?Something deeper is going on.  A perfect podcast to start off the new year.Today I speak with author Marla Mervis-Hartmann who wrote the best-seller BE-Friend Yourself: Finding Freedom with Food and Peace with Your BodyShe is also the Tedx speaker of The Secret Ingredient to Feeling Good in your Body.We dig into the deeper associations we have with food.  When an emotion feels too big, we binge, and for that moment the emotion is met, but no healing has taken place. It can be a black hole of trying to fill this empty feeling. It becomes a pattern, a cycle. We socialize and celebrate with food, we console loss with food, and we eat food on the couch when we're run down. But what if we've moved on and don't require food for that? What if you heal those stressors within, healing the wound, healing that emotion that correlates to the eating? What if a resolution truly meant just that, to treat your body and self with healthy food and self-regulation? Instead, creating a day of eating well to succeed, in your body and in your life.What if we were free from those crutches and food could be your friend?This is a deeper conversation about food and emotions. Take a listen and share it with someone who might be struggling with food, feeling alone in this fight. Find our more about Marla Mervis-Hartmann at  https://www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/Also, receive a Free course Breaking the Cycle of Emotional Eating Mini Course: Seven Steps to Finding Freedom with Food https://goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating Support the show

When Yosef revealed himself to the brothers, he did far more than shock and humiliate them. A careful reading of what he told them afterward reveals how their cruelty to him should be understood. In doing so, Yosef taught his brothers a critical principle in hashgacha that also has vast ramifications for our lives.Please share your comments and insights If you seek the Torah's timeless wisdom to assist in navigating your life's challenges, check out other helpful episodes on this podcast.

Before we start 2025, Summer wanted to highlight why who we surround ourselves with has an impact on who we are and who we become. She talks about creating a circle of people who add to your life and to recognise when certain people and connections are impacting you negatively. KEY TAKEAWAYS Create a circle of people who add to your life and avoid those who take away from it. Sometimes people are in our lives for a short period of time and this is necessary. The length of a relationship doesn’t determine its value. Look at those around you currently, how do they impact your life? Do they give you energy or make you think negatively? To bring the people in your life to enable you to grow, you must adopt their habits and mindsets too. BEST MOMENTS “The length of a relationship doesn’t determine its value” “Just because people aren’t our people or no longer our person doesn’t mean they are a bad person” “We are the products of the people we spend time around and this can be a negative thing if we consistently surround ourselves with people who don’t live the life we live in pursuit of” HOST BIO I am Summer. A spiritual being having human experiences. From the age of 11 I have been obsessed with all things self- development; looking at it from every angle, in pursuit of finding answers for my life. Like all other humans I am figuring out. Along the way I have discovered knowledge and concepts that have changed my existence and helped navigate my youth. The process of learning and undoing, growing and evolving has lead me right here. The host of Inner wealth, where I bring together the most profound teachings I’ve learnt during my time here on earth; in hopes of making it a little easier for others to get to the same wisdom.

Joseph McCormack, founder of the Sheffield Company and author of “Quiet Works: Making Silence the Secret Ingredient of the Workday.” In this episode, he dives into the impact of noise on productivity and leadership. He argues that constant distractions from digital devices and the "badge of busyness" undermine thoughtful leadership. In his latest book, he emphasizes that quiet time isn't simply a break from work but a critical part of it. He explains that silence enables leaders to engage in deliberate thinking, make clearer decisions, and improve operational efficiency. He also explores how balancing collaboration with intentional quiet work can foster innovation and resilience among teams, equipping leaders to provide calm, decisive guidance amidst high-pressure situations.     Key Takeaways: [01:27] Joe introduces his focus on helping leaders combat distractions and manage the overwhelming amount of noise in today's fast-paced world. He stresses that finding clarity requires slowing down, even in high-stress environments like those in the special operations community. [04:48] Joe explains how noise—distractions from digital devices and constant interruptions—hinders leaders' ability to think clearly and make intentional decisions. He advocates for brevity and quiet time as key strategies for cutting through clutter. [09:29] He suggests scheduling quiet time as a necessary appointment, not a luxury, allowing leaders to think without distractions. Even brief moments of reflection, such as five or ten minutes, can have significant impacts on decision-making and creativity. [13:59] Joe highlights that not all tasks are emergencies, even though many leaders feel they are constantly in crisis mode. He advises leaders to delay non-urgent tasks, regaining control by saying “not now” instead of an immediate "yes." [17:16] Joe recounts an interaction with a special operations commander, who despite being extremely busy, set a calm and deliberate tone, demonstrating how slowing down and remaining composed instills confidence in others. [26:50] He encourages setting boundaries in collaborative workspaces, such as using headphones or signs to indicate when deep work is needed. Establishing boundaries helps leaders protect time for quiet work without seeming unapproachable or disconnected. [33:34] Joe shares his personal experience realizing the value of quiet during the writing of Noise. He stopped writing to integrate quiet time into his routine, finding that even brief moments of silence led to better decision-making and clarity in communication. [35:57] Final challenge: Joe encourages listeners to start with small quiet moments—such as sitting in silence at a stoplight or beginning a meeting with two minutes of quiet—emphasizing that leaders will find value in these practices. [39:27] Closing quote: Remember, “All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quiet in a room alone.” ― Blaise Pascal   Quotable Quotes “To lead is to be deliberate. Asking yourself, am I deliberate? Do I think about my people? Am I focusing on what really matters today?”​ “Practice the 'seven to seven' rule - avoid checking phones before 7am and after 7pm” “Start meetings with two minutes of quiet for agenda reflection.” "You actually have to slow down to keep up.” "Give yourself a minute and do nothing. That's why people have great ideas in showers. Just do nothing for a minute... Silence gives you clarity."​ "Quiet isn't a technique. It's an appointment. It's not how I do it, it's that I do it."​ "It's precious to know what's important, what matters, how do we achieve victories of clarity? That's where you win or you stop trying and you quit."​ “All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit quiet in a room alone.” ― Blaise Pascal    Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

You have seen a dollar bill hundreds of times, but have you ever really studied it? It's fascinating. And the number 13 plays a prominent role. This episode begins with a short tour of a U.S. $1 bill. https://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/riddles/jokes/dollar-bill-trivia You spend a lot of time with clothes – wearing them, buying them, and washing them. How you care for your clothes is important. If you care for them the right way, they will last a lot longer and look a lot better. You will also probably save yourself a lot of time and money. Joining me to explain the right and wrong ways to care for clothes is Zach Pozniak. He is a fourth-generation fabric-care expert and dry cleaner. He is all over social media offering popular advice on this topic https://www.instagram.com/jeeves_ny/ and he is the author of the bestselling book, The Laundry Book: The Definitive Guide to Caring for Your Clothes and Linens (https://amzn.to/3Nu3I2Z). When was the last time you carved out some quiet time in your day to just sit alone with your thoughts? Today, people are constantly seeking distraction and stimulation from other people or their smartphone with zero quiet time. Yet, that quiet time can deliver huge benefits to you. For one thing, it allows you to be better prepared and more deliberate about what you do rather than just race through your day reacting to whatever comes along. And there is so much more to this as you will hear from my guest Joe McCormack. He is an entrepreneur and writer who in 2022 launched the Quiet Works program to help people manage the noise in their lives. He is author of the book Quiet Works: Making Silence the Secret Ingredient of the Workday (https://amzn.to/3NwuKa9). There is some controversy around those baby “cocktail” carrots sold in the store.
