  • Internal / External Judgement
    Jul 16 2025
    It’s one thing to feel judged. It’s another when the judgment comes from your own people. In this raw and real episode, Adrienne Gold Davis and Jessica Berkowitz talk about the shame that creeps in when you feel like you're not Jewish enough, or not the right kind of Jewish. You’ll hear:
    • The pain of community judgment (and why it cuts so deep)
    • How shame hijacks our identity more than competition ever could
    • What Jewish wisdom actually says about humility and gossip
    • How to raise kids with courage in a world of quiet expectations
    So if you’ve ever been side-eyed or second-guessed... this one’s for you.
