It's AMA time again, and this one goes deep.Alyson and I open the floor to your questions, and what unfolds is an honest, vulnerable exploration of self-love, self-worth, and the subtle ways we block ourselves from the lives we say we want. Inspired by a recent 13-hour healing journey, I share some powerful realizations about integrity, honoring myself, and the surprising gap between loving others and truly loving myself.We unpack what self-love actually looks like in practice—not just mirror affirmations, but identifying childhood imprints, dissolving shame, raising standards, and developing discernment in relationships and business. Alyson brings in her perspective on embodied self-respect, parts work, and Internal Family Systems, offering grounded tools for healing old patterns and integrating fractured aspects of ourselves.From there, we shift gears into a fun but revealing conversation about influence and inspiration. I break down some of my favorite podcasts, from countercultural voices and spiritual finance to music deep dives and consciousness explorations, and why challenging my own beliefs is a core part of my growth.We also touch on money, integrity, jealousy, and the tension between spirituality and wealth—exploring how to hold abundance without selling your soul.If you've ever struggled with self-worth, boundaries, or reconciling purpose with prosperity, this episode offers reflection, humor, and a few hard-earned insights from the trenches.Get the Animal Power book and deck, plus a free guided drumming shamanic journey to meet your power animal, at alysoncharles.com/animalpower.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

How much of your life is spent performing a role versus actually inhabiting your own skin? For many high-achieving women and business owners, the "hustle" isn't just a schedule, it's a shield. Today, I'm joined by my partner in crime, Stephanie Singer, to pull back the curtain on our last BLSS retreat and why the "magic" people felt wasn't accidental...it was deeply somatic.We dive into the necessity of physical proximity in a world that has become overly digitized and disconnected. As a trauma expert, I see how often we try to "mind" our way out of core wounds, but true transformation happens when you are witnessed in a safe, high-frequency container. We discuss the radical act of valuing yourself enough to step out of your daily environment and into a space designed for your expansion. This isn't just about a "getaway"; it's about deprogramming from the societal expectations that demand women be everything to everyone while leaving nothing for themselves.We explore how vulnerability acts as a catalyst for leadership and why reclaiming your consciousness requires the courage to be seen in your most authentic state. What becomes possible when you finally place the highest value on your own soul?TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy the "magic" of BLSS was actually a somatic recalibrationThe irreplaceable frequency of being "in the room"The "percolation trap"How collective vulnerability accelerates trauma healingEmbodiment vs. PerformanceWhy high-achieving women refuse to invest in restorationIs "doing nothing" the most productive part of integration?Shifting the cultural narrative of what women owe the worldShedding the Ancestral MaskYour seat at the table is a choice, not an accident**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Practical solutions, breathwork sessions, journaling prompts, and more...

In this interactive Q&A episode, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe addresses listener questions on a range of Jewish topics, starting with a critique of the musical/film Fiddler on the Roof. He argues it has harmed American Judaism by portraying Jewish observance as mere "tradition" rather than divine Torah commandments, leading to shaky foundations where practices become optional or emotion-based, rather than rooted in absolute truth and commitment to God. He contrasts this with the unbreakable commitment seen in truly Torah-observant individuals (e.g., refusing to desecrate Shabbos for any price) and ties the title's "fiddler on the roof" imagery to instability without Torah's protective "fence" (ma'akeh, the biblical requirement for railings on roofs to prevent falls).Other questions cover practical halacha, such as the sea splitting being on dry land (citing explicit verses in Exodus 14:29 and 15:19, not just midrash), kosher meat preferences (no halachic preference for rare/medium/well-done once kosher; focus on certified kosher and avoiding waste), grace after meals (Birkat Hamazon applies after bread; dessert is part of the meal for Birkat but not satiating, so separate brachot may apply), and the spies' sin (not lying about the land, but lacking self-belief and positive self-view, leading to negativity).The discussion extends to self-esteem as a mitzvah-like belief in oneself (paralleling belief in God), modesty in Torah knowledge, reflections on Schindler's List (a wake-up call against regret for not doing more mitzvos), handling late guests at meals (start reasonably without ruining Shabbos peace), beautifying mitzvos (zeh Eli v'anveihu – seeing God and glorifying Him with the best), Tu B'Shvat as a Rosh Hashanah for trees/produce/Torah growth (a powerful time for prayer on livelihood, learning, and shidduchim), and the era of Moshiach (clarity where the world recognizes Hashem as One, ending confusion/war, with righteous non-Jews welcomed in a house of prayer for all nations).Throughout, Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes intentional Judaism (kavanah), trusting Hashem (Hashem li lo ira – no fear when God is the pilot), avoiding anxiety through emunah, and prioritizing eternal mitzvos over fleeting concerns.Please submit your questions at askaway@torchweb.org_____________The Everyday Judaism Podcast is dedicated to learning, understanding and appreciating the greatness of Jewish heritage and the Torah through the simplified, concise study of Halacha, Jewish Law, thereby enhancing our understanding of how Hashem wants us to live our daily lives in a Jewish way._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Marshall & Doreen LernerDownload & Print the Everyday Judaism Halacha Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RL-PideM42B_LFn6pbrk8MMU5-zqlLG5This episode of the Everyday Judaism Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Marshall & Doreen Lerner!

How to love yourself after a breakup can feel impossible when your self-esteem is shattered and your ex still lives rent-free in your nervous system. When a relationship ends, especially a painful or toxic one, it doesn't just break your heart — it can break your trust in yourself. You may find yourself obsessing over your ex, checking their social media even though it hurts, replaying conversations, or wondering what was wrong with you. Low self-esteem after a breakup often isn't just about rejection. It's about the shame of feeling like you abandoned your own boundaries trying to keep someone who couldn't love you back. In this episode, we're talking about what it really takes to repair your self-esteem and rebuild your sense of personal power. I'll walk you through why heartbreak recovery can feel like withdrawal from an addiction, how attachment loss hijacks your brain, and why the most painful thought is often not “They left,” but “Why did I let this happen?” If you've been trying to figure out how to love yourself after a breakup while still feeling pulled toward someone who wasn't good for you, this episode will help you understand what's happening and how to shift it. We'll explore five concrete steps to repair your self-esteem: recognizing self-betrayal patterns, understanding the addictive pull of contact and validation, seeking support instead of isolating, recommitting to loving yourself through behavior, and creating a plan for the moments when you're tempted to go backward. Real self-esteem is earned through action: every boundary you set, every time you resist checking their profile, every moment you choose dignity over desperation. That's how you repair your self-esteem. That's how you rebuild confidence. That's how you love yourself after a breakup in a way that lasts. As you listen, you might realize you've been trying to heal through them. What actually helps is rebuilding your relationship with yourself.

In this episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience, I sit down with Aubrey Marcus to discuss confidence, happiness, and the power of accountability. We dive deep into why I believe ego is nothing more than insecurity with makeup on and why shifting your perspective is the key to happiness. I open up about my personal framework in life, which is to give more value than I take and never ask for anything in return, and how a lack of entitlement is a foundational element to my success. We also explore the cultural conversation around social media, judgment, and the pressure on young people to "figure it out." Why I believe ego is insecurity, not confidence.Why a lack of entitlement is killer and how it relates to giving without expectationHow to make happiness your "true north star" instead of chasing money or material possessions.Why social media validation is a human problem and not solely a platform issue.How taking accountability for bad outcomes can be empowering.The dangerous trap of "figuring it out" and the financial handcuffs of buying things you can't afford.You'll learn:

Most of us spend some part of our lives feeling bad about ourselves and wanting to feel better. But this preoccupation is a surprisingly new one in the history of the world, and can largely be traced back to one man: a rumpled, convertible-driving California state representative named John Vasconcellos who helped spark a movement that took over schools, board rooms, and social-service offices across America in the 1990s. This week, we look at the rise and fall of the self-esteem movement and ask: is it possible to raise your self-esteem? And is trying to do so even a good idea?Special thanks to big thank you to the University of California, Santa Barbara Library for use of audio material from their Humanistic Psychology Archives and to their staff for helping located so many audio recordings. EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke and Matt Kielty Produced by - Matt KietlyFlute performance and compositions by -  Ben BatchelderVoiceover work by - Dann FinkFact-checking by - Anna Pujol-Mazzini and  Angely Mercadoand Edited by  - Pat WaltersEPISODE CITATIONS:Articles - UCSB Humanistic Psychology Archive (https://zpr.io/HfVjUmvcVevE)Books - Selfie: How We Became So Self-Obsessed and What It's Doing to Us (https://zpr.io/eGRyqz9zNQHu) by Will Storr.

Are AI images fooling you? They're everywhere. Perhaps you saw all those cute "candy cane" body suit photos and thought, "That looks fun." Or, maybe you posted one yourself! In this thought-provoking episode, Heather Creekmore unpacks the rise of AI-generated photos and their profound impact on how we see ourselves—and each other. What started years ago as a debate over Photoshop has now exploded into a world where anyone can create altered, “flawless” images of themselves in a matter of seconds. But the effects go far beyond just looking different in pictures. These doctored images are changing our brains, our body image, and even our spiritual health. Heather shares what happened when she created a bunch of AI photos of herself, including her hilarious results. What You’ll Hear The Evolution from Photoshop to AI:Heather Creekmore reminisces about early discussions on Photoshop and magazine covers—and how AI has made “perfect” images accessible to everyone, not just celebrities and models. Personal Experiment with AI Headshots:Hear about Heather’s own journey using an AI headshot generator, the surprising (and sometimes hilarious) results, and the unsettling emotional triggers that come with seeing an altered version of yourself. The Science Behind How Images Affect Us:Learn how the brain processes images, why filtered photos are so convincing (even when we know they're fake), and how repeated exposure to “perfect” bodies rewires our brains to set unrealistic standards. Real Dangers: Snapchat Dysmorphia and Beyond:Explore the rise in people seeking cosmetic procedures to look like their filtered selfies, and understand why AI-generated “ideal images” up the stakes for comparison, perfectionism, and dissatisfaction. Spiritual Implications:Heather dives deep into the spiritual cost of chasing AI perfection, discussing body image idolatry, why you were purposefully designed by a loving Creator, and the difference between being designed vs. manufactured. Practical Tips to Beat Comparison:Walk away with actionable advice, from mindful scrolling to curating your social media feed, setting screen time limits, and turning to prayer when you're tempted by those idealized images. Memorable Quotes “Now you can actually have an image of yourself to worship.” “Our brains know these images are fake, but our hearts still hurt as if they’re real.” “You’re not a red Solo cup. You’re not manufactured. You’re uniquely designed.” "Are you worshipping a perfect image, or are you worshipping a perfect God?"
