Show notes

Wendy Alexander has a successful business coaching middle ager's about changing their lives, succeeding in their later years and just generally improving their entire world. So, naturally, we spent about 7 minutes at the end of the video talking about that. The remainder of our conversation was a fascinating trip through Wendy's childhood growing up in segregated South Africa during the Apartheid years. Wendy, who identifies herself as "colored" (i.e., a mixed-race person in South Africa) speaks eloquently about the hardships of being born a "crime" and living there until she left for Australia in her early adulthood. It's a story everyone should hear.

Turning Tragedy Around: Rabbi/Cantor Judy Greenfeld - Middle Age Mess, Episode 32 Aug 29, 2024

Show notes

The first, and maybe craziest, aspect of Rabbi/Cantor Judy Greenfeld is that she's a Rabbi and a Cantor. There are very, very few people who are rabbis and cantors, and even fewer, if any, who are female. But R/C Judy has an even more fascinating and heartbreaking journey that led her to this very interesting position as she suffered through the tragedy of having her father murdered on the streets of Cleveland when she was just 16yo. And oh yeah, she started her professional life as a dancer because don't all rabbis do that??? Anyway, R/C Judy is a one-of-a-kind personality whose story you just have to hear.
