    2026/09/09
    Send us Fan MailFrom the Inside Out: Rebbetzin Esti Hamilton on Emunah, Purpose, and Rosh Hashanah ClarityIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we share a Rosh Hashanah episode featuring Rebbetzin Esti Hamilton, Esti recounts growing up in a Torah-teaching family, beginning to teach in Israel, and how her life changed when her first son, Daniel, was born profoundly disabled and hospitalized for two years, leading her to speak publicly about faith and to teach spiritual growth. She describes shifting from a transactional “spiritual slot machine” view of Hashem to a mature relationship, embracing paradigm shifts where circumstances may not change but perception does, and seeing purpose through hashgachah pratit and the holiness of the present. She discusses Rosh Hashanah as crowning Hashem rather than vidui, cultivating forgiveness, avoiding autopilot in mitzvot through kavanah, curating the “diet of the mind” with Torah learning, and offers practical tools from Mesilat Yesharim: awareness, holistic cheshbon hanefesh, and choosing one area to add intention.EPISODE SPONSORSKeren HashanaKeren Hashana is the daily giving fund established by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1953.

  • #138: Marriage, Kids & the Crisis of Meaning: The Psychology of the Soul with Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch
    2026/09/01
    Send us Fan MailFinding Meaning Through Viktor Frankl, Chabad Chassidus & TherapyIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we interview Rabbi Daniel Schonbuch, a therapist and author of "Viktor Frankl and the Psychology of the Soul," about integrating CBT, marriage/family therapy, Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, and Chabad Chassidus. Schonbuch explains Frankl’s core idea that humans are driven by meaning, not pleasure or power, and outlines three ways to find meaning: purposeful work, love/experience, and changing one’s attitude when suffering can’t be avoided. He describes creating TorahPsychology.org, holding Hakhel conferences inspired by the Rebbe’s encouragement and a message sent to Frankl, and using a 30-day logotherapy workbook to reduce depression and anxiety. The conversation also covers shared meaning in marriage, rising divorce and estrangement, parenting tools (I=QR, connection/communication/reduced control), reflective listening, trauma and meaning, and incorporating Mitteler Rebbe teachings and “Tracht gut vet zein gut.”EPISODE SPONSORSYakira BellaYakira Bella is a modest, beautiful clothing brand with dresses that look and feel like designer pieces — elegant, well-made, and made to move with you all night — without the designer price tag.

    Send us Fan MailFrom the Inside Out: Color, Confidence, and God-Given Design with Rivky DuchmanIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we introduce guest Rivky Duchman, a Miami Beach color analyst and image consultant who blends aesthetics with Torah and Chassidus. Rivky explains her work uses the face as an “aesthetic blueprint” (skin tone, eyes, hair, contrast, texture, lines, and energy) to identify harmonious colors and styles, helping women develop signature style, reduce insecurity, and avoid trend-driven noise. She outlines seasonal color analysis origins and nuanced subtypes, shares how outside comments can disconnect people from their design, and discusses aesthetics as communication, first impressions, modesty, and dignity, citing stories about Rabbi Ishmael. Rivky supports enhancement tools like makeup or hair color while warning against “distortion,” critiques status-driven trend chasing, and emphasizes that true worth comes from being a part of Hashem and expressing inner beauty outward.EPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyRent a private pool by the hour, right in your own city — no crowds, no chaos, just your family or friends in your own space, with over 15,000 pools across the US, Canada, and Australia.Download the app or visit Swimply.com — code INSIDEOUT10 for 10% off your next booking!Shefa LivingWomen carry so much — marriage, kids, running a home, all while staying connected to Hashem and themselves.

    Send us Fan MailOn Serving God, Not Being Religious with Dr. Elad Ben Elul & Rabbi Manis FriedmanIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast, Rivkah and Eda sit down with Dr. Elad Ben Elul and Rabbi Manis Friedman on their book I Didn't Ask to Be Born and its core idea: Judaism isn't about being "religious" or what we need from God, but what God needs from us — asking daily, "What does God need from me today?" Ben Elul shares his Jewish awakening during fieldwork in West Africa, caught between secular Tel Aviv and an enclosed religious world, until Friedman's lecture "Why You Shouldn't Be Religious" reframed Jewish life as mission. Friedman traces this to his outreach starting in 1970 and its path to the book's Israeli success. They cover mitzvot, purpose, soulmates and marriage, hostages who found mission in captivity, teaching Tanya, Chabad's nonjudgment, and audience Q&A on dating, marriage, and identity.Get the book, I Didn't Ask to Be Born: Understanding the Purpose of Our Creation: https://amzn.to/4bxqnrFEPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyRent a private pool by the hour, right in your own city — no crowds, no chaos, just your family or friends in your own space, with over 15,000 pools across the US, Canada, and Australia.Download the app or visit Swimply.com — code INSIDEOUT10 for 10% off your next booking!BINABina walks alongside families from the moment someone they love suffers a brain injury, through every stage of recovery.

Joanne shares how growing up in a culture that prized intelligence, feeling like an outsider, and early experiences of “not good enough” shaped her pursuit of psychology and later Chassidus through Rabbi YY Keselman, leading to deeper healing. The conversation explores the true self vs false self, healthy authenticity vs narcissistic “do what feels good,” secure attachment and defenses, and the Tanya’s animal soul and godly soul, emphasizing a God-directed life alongside responsible therapy. Joanne discusses sensitivity, anxiety as a coping mechanism, splitting and transference, practical Chassidic tools for low self-esteem, shame, envy, anger, and anxiety, and offers guidance on estranged family relationships.EPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyThis episode is powered by Swimply — and with summer here, the timing couldn't be better.

    Send us Fan MailLetters for Life: Levi Y. Shmotkin on Rebbe’s Guidance for Emotional Health From the Inside OutIn this episode of From The Inside Out with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we interview Levi Shmotkin, author of Letters for Life, a practical guide to emotional health based on the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s letters, recorded in honor of Gimmel Tammuz. Shmotkin shares how his own teen experience of heaviness and apathy led him to the Rebbe’s counseling, emphasizing gratitude, humility, and shifting focus outward through giving and responsibility. He contrasts popular self-help’s self-focus with the Rebbe’s “third way” that validates feelings while expanding the mind toward Hashem and others, including examples from education. He discusses tools like structure and productivity, trust to counter anxiety, hesech hadas (redirecting attention), loneliness as eased through awareness of Divine providence, Torah and halacha as the enduring path to spirituality, discovering purpose, and the Rebbe’s message that “nothing stands in the way of the will.”EPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyThis episode is powered by Swimply — and with summer here, the timing couldn't be better.

His debut book, Letters for Life: Guidance for Emotional Wellness from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, was born from a deeply personal journey — as a teenager, Levi found himself grappling with heaviness, apathy, and a loss of inner spark. It was the Rebbe's letters that became his lifeline, and what began as a private notebook of insights eventually became a book that has resonated with thousands across all walks of Jewish life. A member of Generation Z who never met the Rebbe in person, Levi brings a fresh, relatable voice to timeless wisdom — showing that truth, as he says, is eternal, and the Rebbe's guidance speaks as powerfully today as ever.You can purchase the Letters For Life book here: https://a.co/d/040r8ezR CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction04:05 Meet Levi Shmotkin16:03 Gen Z Connection to Rebbe17:50 Modern Self Help vs Rebbe19:27 A Third Way27:47 Healing Through Others41:17 Spiritual Not Religious42:11 Psychedelics And Torah46:45 Channeling Spiritual Desire48:11 Finding Your Purpose53:29 Loneliness And Providence59:31 Solitude Versus...

  • #132: When We See You Again: Grief, Trust & the Light That Comes Through with Rachel Goldberg-Polin
    2026/05/18
    Send us Fan MailRachel Goldberg-Polin on Faith, Grief, and Meaning After Hersh’s Captivity | From the Inside OutHosts Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein interview educator and author Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again, her family’s life in Jerusalem, and the loss of her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage from the Nova Music Festival on October 7 and later murdered after 328 days in captivity. Rachel recounts her path into Orthodox Jewish life starting in eighth grade at an Orthodox day school, describes how tefillah and Torah have sustained her, and shares how Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning—relayed to her through released hostage Or Levy—became a tool for enduring suffering by finding purpose. She discusses Modeh Ani, trust in Hashem amid uncertainty, grief as an expression of love, “toxic positivity” versus “tragic optimism,” and verses and teachings that frame this world as a hallway to the next.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel’s oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.
