What happens when emotional stress shows up not just in our hearts, but in our bodies? Adrienne explores the powerful connection between emotional climate, physical tension, and spiritual resilience through a Jewish lens.
Drawing from personal experience, Jewish wisdom, and contemporary insights, Adrienne reflects on how stress, grief, and inner “cold” can cause us to hunch, brace, and armor ourselves, physically and emotionally. Set against the backdrop of winter and the light of Hanukkah, this episode invites you to consider how we guard our own inner light while tending to our families and communities. A quiet call to unclench, to breathe, and to remember that preserving your own light is not selfish, it is sacred work.
