Repair is possible, even when parenting feels painful, complicated, or far from what we imagined. In Part 2 of this special Rise and Shine episode, Adrienne continues her conversation with Momentum Educators Ruchi Koval and Jael Toledo about Jewish motherhood, adult children, family dynamics, grief, and repair.
This conversation explores what happens when children make choices that challenge our expectations, including choices around Jewish identity, Israel, relationships, family traditions, and independence. Ruchi and Jael offer honest, compassionate guidance on listening to understand, managing anxiety, setting healthy boundaries, and taking our own pain to the right places so our children are not asked to carry it.
