Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I’m Alex Segal, and today, I am so happy to be back! Baruch Hashem, it was a beautiful Pesach holiday filled with a lot of great quality family time, cooking, decluttering, all the things we talk about on here and now it feels good to be back to the podcast!

Coming off of Pesach, we just spend time looking inward, thinking about the excess chametz we want to get rid of in our own lives, the fluff that gets in the way of who we really are, what things maybe we want to free ourselves from and be free to do. This episode is all about self-awareness, going beneath the surface, getting more to the root of who you are and it’s a beautiful continuation of that work we can bring into this new time period on the Jewish calendar.

Dvora Henner, our guest this week, is the founder of MAXIMIZE, a home organization and life coaching business dedicated to helping women make the most of their space and time. She is passionate about self-awareness and personal growth as the foundation for stronger, healthier relationships.

In the episode, we speak about:

-Her journey from being a full-time stay at home mother to re-entering the out of the house work and finding what she wants to do

-The importance of self-awareness, how we learn more about it throughout life as different triggers come up

-How this is really the key to solving a lot of our relationship issues we may have with those close to us

-What’s going on inside of us when our emotions are challenged in a new way

-How to use the information to have a deeper, more vulnerable conversation with a loved one

-How to improve our shalom bayit

-What a woman’s needs are compared with a man’s needs and how that plays into all of this

-How we can practice more self-acceptance

...and SO much more!

This episode sounds simple on the surface but it is really so deep and thought-provoking and the perfect thing to listen to as we move through this next period.
