Ep 151 - Goals vs. Decisions May 29, 2022

Show notes

If you've been struggling to stay on track with a decision you made, this episode is for you.

So often, we make decisions when what we should be making are goals.

What's the difference? A decision is one-and-done. A goal is a process. If you think you're making a decision but you really need a goal, you'll end up weakening your faith in yourself and creating a lot of extra frustration. If you set a goal that could easily just be a decision, you're spinning your wheels on work you don't need to do.

Listen this week to learn how to distinguish between a goal and a decision, how to make each, and how to stick to it.

Ep. 150 - A Positive Money Mindset with Yael Trusch May 15, 2022

Show notes

I'm so excited to have Yael Trusch, financial expert and Torah teacher, on this week to discuss our thoughts about money.

How do we not get too wrapped up in money?

What if our financial situation is keeping us from being happy?

Can you be wealthy AND holy? What does that look like?

I know you'll love this conversation--can't wait to hear your thoughts.

AND Yael will be our guest coach inside of How to Glow in June so you can learn more from her by signing up for How to Glow at kaylalevin.com/coaching!

Ep. 149 - Giving Feels Amazing May 01, 2022

Show notes

If you've found yourself saying "yes" to too many things simply because it's so hard to say "no"... whether because you hate to disappoint others or you want to be nice or you just can't stand the awkward moment.. this week's podcast is for you.

I want to show you what's on the other side of learning how to say no. What's on the other side is true giving.

When you are willing and able to say "no" when someone asks you to do something you really don't want to or is outside your comfort zone, then when you say "yes" it's a true yes.

This week I'll help you check in on your people-pleasing tendencies and get you excited for the huge benefits of real giving.

Oh, and here are some links that came up this week:

Ep. 148 - Are We Responsible for Each Other's Feelings? Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Today I want to talk to you about the idea of how we relate to one another's feelings and how that relates to the idea that our own thoughts create our feelings.

Specifically, we're going to take this into our marriages:

"I want to be happy" turns into "I need my husband to do xyz so I will be happy"
"I want my husband to be happy" becomes "I'm responsible to do everything he says will make him happy"

On the other end of the spectrum, we could go too far-- taking NO responsibility for our behavior, having no sensitivity to what the other person wants or cares about, and washing our hands of it by saying, "well, it's HIS thoughts that made him upset, not me."

Ep. 147 - A Better Relationship with Your Mother-in-Law with Rachel Glasser Apr 10, 2022

Show notes

Rachel Glasser kept seeing comments on the Frum Girl Problems Facebook group about mother-in-law dynamics that were directly addressed in the research she had done about this relationship, so she decided to share her findings.

I saw her post and immediately invited her onto the podcast. I loved our conversation. Having gone through all the major studies about in-law relationships in the last sixty years, Rachel has so much to share about the most common pitfalls in these relationships, the advantages or working on the relationship, and specific ways we can go about this.

What was surprising to you about what Rachel had to share?

Ep. 146 - The Terrain of Your Brain Apr 03, 2022

Show notes

Has your brain felt noisy lately?
I noticed a tendency to reach for a podcast or shiur when I had a lot on my mind and some housework that needed to get done.
And when I paid attention, I found (probably not surprisingly) that once the podcast was over, my brain felt just as noisy as before. Sometimes more so.
So I've adopted a check-in with myself:
If my brain is noisy, what I need is silence.
If my brain feels calm, I might want to listen to something. (Or I might just want to enjoy the quiet!)
It's so simple, but it's been a game changer.
We don't need to listen to anything to get ourselves up and going. When you give your brain some space to do it's thing, you'll be amazed what it can work out on its own.
And if you are feeling spacious (or aren't there yet but want to understand this better)--make sure to check out this week's episode where I go into this whole concept much more deeply.

Ep. 145 - How to Be a Smarter Couple - Interview with Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier Mar 27, 2022

Show notes

I am so excited to bring you this interview with Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier, founder of TheShmuz.com and author of the new book, 10 Really Dumb Mistakes that Very Smart Couples Make.

We dove into a really interesting discussion about how men and women communicate differently, how we perceive and give criticism differently, and how changing our approach can have a powerful impact on our marriages.

Ep. 144 - Just One of Those Days Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

Sometimes it's not about coaching yourself, it's about acceptance.

It's so easy to fall for the myth that we're supposed to always feel good.

Ironically, thinking we're always supposed to feel good... feels terrible.

It creates so much resistance.

Today I'm sharing one of my "one of those days" days. And I know you have them, too. Here's how we can allow them, which actually allows us to tap into a deeper level of our own truth and helps us move past and through so much more easily.

Ep. 143 - Purim Thoughts Mar 13, 2022

Show notes

I love Purim + Thought Work!

So many women struggle on Purim. It's normal-- but it's not necessary.

Tune in to hear how you can make a thought-plan for Purim to make it a day more meaningful and enjoyable (yes even with the wildness, the mess, the over-sugared kids, and the vomiting husband)!

Ep. 142 - Rest vs Self Care Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

Pursuing happiness tends to make it even more elusive.

Most of the women I know and work with know that sitting on the couch with bonbons when life is feeling a little unsatisfying is not going to do the trick. So in this ongoing conversation about self-care, I’m going to make another distinction that I think can help us.

There are activities that make your life better..

and there’s rest.

And both are critical.

When we use “self-care-type activities” to FEEL BETTER (to feel happy, fulfilled, enjoying our life), I’m not sure it’s so effective.

When we rest because we are so drained or depleted that there are no happy thoughts to think, (or–please–catch yourself before you get to this point when you can) we set ourselves up to rejoin a life that has meaning and purpose which then leads to real fulfillment and happiness.

You can rest on your couch or at a 5-star-spa for all I care, but know that your rest isn’t going to give you what you really need. It’s crucial, but it’s function is just to get you back in the game.
