Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Hidden World of Jewish Astrology | Yitzchok A. Pinkesz
Q: What is the purpose of life according to your view?
The purpose of life is to grow, to develop and bring out the energy Hashem implanted in you, ultimately transforming into your highest potential.
Guiding Others Out of P*rn Addiction - Saadiah Klein
Q: Before we get into this conversation, I want to know a little bit about you. Where did you grow up?
Saadiah explains he grew up in London in a modern orthodox family, spent time studying in Israel, and later moved to New York to study at Yeshiva University, dedicating himself to education and prevention efforts.
What to Do When Your Child — or Even You — Is Being Bullied - Izzy Kalman
Q: Izzy, welcome to The Struggle.
Thanks for having me. I share a framework that emphasizes understanding the dynamics of bullying and teaching people—especially kids—how to respond in a way that stops the bullying by turning the interaction into a constructive communication process.
Breaking the Cycle of Autopilot Living - Moe Srour
Q: What role does vulnerability play in these workshops?
Vulnerability is central and structured as a practice rather than a one-off moment. The workshops create safe space for participants to share feelings and experiences, gradually increasing openness across days, which helps normalize vulnerability as a lifelong practice rather than a rare exception.
Breaking the Cycle of Autopilot Living - Moe Srour
Q: How do breathwork sessions differ from traditional talk therapy?
Breathwork focuses on the energetic body and physical sensations associated with trauma, offering a holographic processing layer that can bypass overactive critical thinking. It's used as a tool to access, witness, and release stored energy, followed by reflective discussion and integration so participants can make healthier choices afterward.
