Start The Day With Intentional Projection

Before you engage with the world each day, have a short meeting with God to set your energy and intention.
Project that chosen energy instead of trying to endlessly protect yourself from outside noise.

We recorded this while I was on maternity leave but it’s just as relevant now. It actually feels like the perfect time to put it out as we are about halfway through the Jewish year. It’s a really great time to check in with yourself, see where you’re at when it comes to the goals you set, refresh and refocus as we head into a new season.

In the episode we speak about:

-How Cathy got started with her own podcast and business she built

-Why she feels it’s way more to focus on “pro-semitism” instead of antisemitism.

-How to become the vessel to draw in the life you want

-The guilt people may feel around having "too much"

-Why so many people feel shame around prosperity and how to transcend that

-Getting closer to Hashem through abundance

…and SO MUCH MORE.
