Ok this episode is basically a two-parter!

I’m back to share a coaching framework I use all the time: chochma (what I know intellectually), binah (what lands emotionally), and daas (what I actually integrate into behavior). I'll teach you how to use this framework when you're feeling stuck.

We're also talking about shana rishona as a developmental stage: what it's for, how to know if you've "done it," and what to do if something's gone haywire.

For those of you IN shana rishona or wanting a repeat, my First Year Married course starting Sunday the 19th!

What happens when you daven for your husband — not just for shalom bayis, but for him as a person?

In this episode, we explore the difference between praying for your marriage and praying for your husband himself — and why that distinction matters more than we realize.

You’ll hear:

• How this shift builds perspective, respect, and curiosity

• Why thinking we’ve “figured him out” can quietly erode connection

• Simple, realistic ways to incorporate this practice into real life

This is about intentionality, not perfection — and about strengthening your marriage by seeing your husband more clearly.

In this episode, I’m sharing something that came straight out of a coaching call — because I realized this is not a one-woman problem. At some phase of life, every single one of us ends up here: so tired we can’t think straight, can’t be ourselves, and are seriously at risk of making the worst possible decisions at the worst possible times.

We’re talking about what it really means to be below baseline — that foggy, heavy, emotionally fragile place where your brain suddenly thinks it’s a great idea to reorganize the linen closet or re-evaluate your entire marriage at 2 AM.

We explore:

✨ The three levels of self-care — exceptional, routine, and baseline✨ How to recognize when you’re officially below baseline✨ Why you cannot trust your brain when you’re exhausted (treat it like your drunk best friend)✨ The two non-negotiable rules for getting yourself back to normal✨ How one or two early nights can completely change how you feel about your life

If you’ve been scrolling late, snacking nonstop, snapping at people you love, or feeling like you’re just dragging your body through the day — this episode is for you.
