In this thoughtful episode, we sit down with educator Suri Weingot to explore the Torah perspective on one of the most universal experiences of growing up: struggle.

Through powerful stories and Torah insights, Suri reframes inner battles not as failures, but as opportunities to grow and choose the right path. This conversation offers a refreshing perspective on why struggle itself can be one of the most meaningful parts of becoming who we’re meant to be.

In this episode, we sat down with Sara Rivkah Kohn, founder of Links Family Services, to talk about real leadership.

She was just a girl in a tiny elementary school class of nine where everyone ended up with multiple jobs. Yearbook, G.O., choir, whatever needed doing. And it turns out those early experiences of figuring things out, making mistakes, and learning from people further along shaped everything that came after.

We talk about the tension of being confident enough to lead while staying humble enough to listen. About choosing between two good things when you can't do both. About why she refuses to write "go-to guides" for grief because every person needs something different. And how studying Navi as an adult completely changed her understanding of what it actually means to protect the people you're responsible for.

This conversation is about growth, hard choices, and becoming the kind of leader you'd actually want to follow. Not because you have it all figured out, but because you're willing to keep learning.

She shares the counterintuitive truth that self-worth grows when we shift focus from ourselves to making others' eyes shine.Through personal stories, timeless Torah insights, and the legacy of her mother, this episode is a reminder that your light is not accidental. It is intentional. And the world is waiting for you to use it.
