Some conversations stay with you long after the cameras stop rolling, and this was one of them.

In Part 2 of Real Talk with Miriam, Miriam continues her conversation with Rachel Ostroy mom of three, founder of Pink Label, Jewish advocate, and ZAKA ambassador.

They go even deeper into motherhood, faith, family, and what it means to keep showing up when life changes you in ways you never expected.

Rachel shares more about how October 7 shifted something inside her, why she felt she could no longer stay quiet, and what it has meant to use her voice for the Jewish community and stand alongside ZAKA.

They also talk about the things so many of us are trying to figure out in our own homes — raising children in a world filled with screens, being truly present, choosing kindness even when it’s hard, holding onto faith, and thinking about the legacy we’re creating for our children.
There are emotional moments, honest ones, and so much to take away from this conversation.

This is Part 2.
