B”H Jamie Geller, Chief Communications Officer at Aish Global, joins Jewish Money Matters for a beautiful conversation that balances the practical and the spiritual. We delved into Jamie’s current role, financial challenges she’s faced, and the things she’s done that have helped her through them. We also talked about the masculine and feminine energy in a marriage and the risk of women taking on too much of a masculine energy, pushing men to take on a more feminine role and vice versa. Of course, we spoke about the number one way to combat antisemitism and the need to put more dollars into it. Here’s Jamie Geller.

B”H Comedian and activist Esther Lev shares her inspiring journey of using humor to uplift her community, herself and more recently, even confront antisemitism. Esther Lev is a rising comedy star in Costa Rica, and the antisemitism in her home country is giving her the push to spread her wings outwards. How did she get started in comedy? How does she monetize it? What were some of the money lessons she learned growing up? From personal stories, all sprinkled with a heavy dose of humor, to the importance of spreading light through laughter, Esther reminds us how resilience and comedy can go hand in hand even in the darkest times. Here’s Esther Lev. The post 437: Laughing Through Adversity with Esther Lev appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H I’m thrilled to welcome back a long time friend of the show – visual artist Yaeli Vogel. She is the founder of Yaeli Vogel, a brand that blends Jewish identity, spirituality, and tradition with contemporary design. Through her captivating Judaica, fine art, and home décor, Yaeli infuses luxury, joy, and color into everyday life while honoring Jewish heritage.  She was with me back in 2019 on Episode 97 of this show. Her journey to becoming a full time artist was good then. Now it’s even better! This time we really dive into the mindset work that she credits for all her business and personal success. This is a very helpful conversation to have right as you’re coming out of Pesach – where hopefully you’ve already worked on freeing yourself of limitations, especially those in the mind, which is where all limitations live. As you now take on the added work of emotional refinement during the time of Sefirat HaOmer, I can’t think of a better conversation to have than the one you’re about to listen to with Yaeli Vogel. As you’ll soon hear, if you’re not working on the software – the mindset – your hardware will be compromised. It’s the harder work, for sure, but Yaeli is here to encourage us to do it. And I couldn’t agree more. It is well worth it. And so is this wonderful conversation on the art of abundance with the beautiful Yaeli Vogel.  The post 432: The Art of Abundance with Yaeli Vogel appeared first on Yael Trusch.
