In this heartfelt episode, we're reflecting on the past year of Talking Unfiltered—how the podcast started, how it's evolved, how we evolved with it, the moments that shaped it, and the stories we probably shouldn’t have told… but did anyway oopsie! We’re taking a minute to focus on our digital community (shameless insta plug @talking.unfiltered 😗) and focus on what’s next as we head into a new year and the next chapter of Talking Unfiltered. Stay curious!!! ❤️

It's Marielle's turn at a solo episode and wow, this one hits different. Marielle opens up about this extremely transformative chapter of her life — navigating Israel as a patrilineal Jew, deepening her relationship with Judaism and God, and learning to approach it all with curiosity and an open mind. She also reflects on the realities of being an Olah in Israel: the loneliness, the resilience, and the magic of building your own village from scratch. It’s an honest look at identity, faith, and stepping outside your comfort zone to find the people who truly align with you. Enjoy <3

This week we have yet another solo episode... this time, Zoe rewinds back to late September and chats through all the chaos and clarity that came with a new year, a birthday, and inching toward two years since October 7. She talks about grieving old versions of herself, shifting friendships, living between her dual identities, and what a full year in Israel has actually taught her. You don't wanna miss this episode - it's a special one ❤️
