From the Inside Out: With Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein #126: Why Inner Peace Isn’t What You Think: Self-Regulation, the Open Heart, and Torah’s Blueprint with Devori Nussbaum
Self-Mastery in Real Life: Regulation, Trust, and the Shift from Control to Connection
In this episode on From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda,, we discuss the complex journey of self-healing with Devori Nussbaum, a multifaceted therapist with expertise in Chinese Medicine, nutrition, psychology, psychotherapy, and Chassidus. Devori shares personal insights from her transformation journey and explores the intersection of emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. She emphasizes the significance of the brain-body connection and offers practical advice on how to achieve alignment and coherence through breathwork, emotional awareness, and mental clarity. Devori's retreats, designed to help women find their inner light, and her upcoming book on feminine energy further underscore the depth of this enlightening conversation.

GUEST BIO
Devori Nussbaum is a psychotherapist, educator, and retreat leader whose work bridges deep Torah wisdom—especially Tanya—with modern psychology, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation. With training across multiple disciplines (including psychotherapy, nutrition, and holistic healing modalities), Devori is known for translating big spiritual concepts into practical, repeatable tools—how to move from control into connection, how to regulate the body so the mind can lead, and how to live with more wholeness in the middle of real life. She’s the author of To Live With an Open Heart (five years in the making), and the creator of the Spice of Life Retreats—named in honor of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka—where women experience what Devori teaches: embodied trust, emotional coherence, and a return to joy that feels both grounded and attainable.
