Is Being Comfortable Bad for You?

In this episode, we explore the importance of trusting our inner wisdom rather than getting caught up in overthinking. We discuss finding calm and clarity when making decisions, and recognising God's guidance in our lives.

What to do when your 16-year-old leaves home and wants nothing to do with you? We share why teenage struggles are usually a phase, and why harshness tends to backfire. Chana lays out five questions every parent should ask themselves. We also explore the difference between loving our kids and being in the feeling of love towards them and building real rapport with sons- and daughters-in-law.Then a second question: should you cut off your own parents if you see them as a bad influence on your children? On that one, we don’t quite agree!

Shaul recently turned 60, and we ask whether retirement makes sense at all. Is life about contributing until the very end, or about welcoming a slower pace of life? We talk about ageing, purpose, and following your own inspiration.

Rabbi Noach Weinberg taught that comfort isn’t something to strive for. But is being comfortable really a bad thing? We unpack what he meant: the difference between pleasure and escape, comfort as a goal versus comfort as a foundation for living well, and why teachers need to speak the language of their generation.

A conversation about death, fear, faith and what it means to really live. We discuss the idea that our time here is temporary, that we don’t know what’s around the corner, and that dying is a release of the soul from its limitations.

What if finding God has less to do with religion and ritual, and more to do with getting quiet, going within and discovering that He was there all along?

Rosh Hashanah is often seen as a time to make resolutions and try to change. But what if real change isn't about forcing ourselves to be different, but about learning to see differently?We talk about Rosh Hashanah, the shofar, self-acceptance and the power of finding a new perspective on life. Even if you don’t keep Rosh Hashana, there will be something in here for you.

Do our parents owe us anything? Does society owe us anything? In this episode, we explore the growing culture of entitlement, the balance between responsibility and generosity, and why true fulfilment comes from building your own life rather than expecting others to provide it.

Will AI improve our lives and make us smarter, or make us redundant and stupid? In this episode, we have a balanced conversation about technology, wisdom, progress, and how to use AI without losing ourselves.

In this episode, we explore why looking outside ourselves for relief, fairness, justice, or someone to blame leaves us feeling stuck. Starting with a powerful story of addiction and recovery, we discuss how blame stands in the way of growth, how our state of mind naturally rises and falls like the weather, and how insight, rather than trying to control our experience, leads to lasting change.A conversation about freedom, suffering, thought, trust, and discovering that a better life does not arise from changing it… but from understanding our experience of it.
