Years ago, I was teaching Jewish wisdom to hundreds of people. I was coaching, writing, and giving classes. And on the outside, it looked like I had it together.
But inside? I'd lose my calm with my family over small things. I'd get defensive the
moment someone challenged me. I'd walk away from conversations with my kids knowing I hadn't been fully present.
The hardest part was that I knew better. I knew exactly how I should respond. I grew up with strong Jewish values that were supposed to help me navigate life…but when life pressed my
buttons, none of it was there for me.
So there was a gap between what I believed and how I actually lived. It was very frustrating.
Most of the successful, thoughtful Jewish people I know are walking around with the same gap. They've learned a lot. They believe deeply. But their beliefs and their daily experience feel like two different lives.
That's why I created A Calmer Way to Live. To help each other bridge that gap between our head and our life. I’m glad you are here. Welcome.
