In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, we explore the powerful truth that your tikkune—your soul’s correction—reveals itself again and again through life’s challenges, especially through the people who trigger you most. Rather than avoiding discomfort, we’re invited to see it as a mirror pointing

directly to the inner work we’re here to do. You’ll learn why spiritual growth requires actively identifying and transforming these patterns so you can begin the work your soul came here to complete.

“Tikkune is not just about correcting this issue so that it doesn’t repeat itself, but it’s the knowledge that this issue within us is the barrier between ourselves and success in all other areas of our lives.” – Michael Berg

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we explore tikkune—the soul’s correction. According to ancient wisdom, the challenges we face in this lifetime are not random; they are connected to the actions and lessons of many lifetimes. Your tikkune is the sum of the patterns, obstacles, and opportunities that invite your soul to grow. The very thing standing between where you are and where you want to be may be the correction your soul most desires.

In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we speak with Dr. Alon Goshen-Gottstein and explore how our differences—especially across faiths—can become sources of wisdom rather than division. We reflect on how fear narrows our vision, while prayer and genuine listening open bridges to ourselves, to God, and to one another. By embracing prayer as both speaking and listening, we discover how faith at its best can lead to deep personal transformation.
