When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport. Learn more at www.lbi.org/kollisch . Exile is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute , New York | Berlin and Antica Productions . It’s narrated by Mandy Patinkin. Executive Producers include Katrina Onstad, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producers are Hailey Choi and Emily Morantz. Research and translation by Isabella Kempf. Sound design and audio mix by Philip Wilson, with help from Cameron McIver. Theme music by Oliver Wickham. Voice acting by Natalia Bushnik. Special thanks to the Kollisch family for the use of Eva’s two memoirs, “Girl in Movement” and “The Ground Under My Feet”, the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College and their “Voices of Feminism Oral History Project”, and Soundtrack New York.…

Hi friends!
In this episode, I share my funny and humbling health struggles—from my treat-yourself mindset to the sweet tooth that just won’t quit—and explain why I finally ditched the guilt.
We’ll dive into three super simple (but kinda genius) strategies to help you put food in its place—so you can enjoy life without the pantry calling your name 24/7.
Come hang with me as we break free from the myth of willpower, set some realistic goals, and laugh at our perfectly imperfect selves along the way. Let’s ditch the guilt, enjoy our treats when they’re put in their place, and take our power back—together! Ready? Let’s go!

Hey Mama, Want to have more productive, respectful conversations with your doctor? In this episode, I explain how to present solid, evidence-based research (and leave the “my friend said” stories at home). You'll learn why presenting quality information in a way doctors respect can change the game. But it’s not just about facts — your approach matters too! We’ll talk about proposing alternatives instead of taking a rigid stance, keeping the conversation open and collaborative. After all, studies show that when patients feel confident in their treatment plans, outcomes improve. At the end of the day, mutual respect, humility, and knowing your power as the consumer are the keys to making informed health decisions.

Hey Mama! In this episode, I’m breaking down the science (and the hype) behind low-carb diets! We’ve all heard the promises—weight loss, better health, and more energy—but what do the studies really say? I take a closer look at several low-carb diet studies, pointing out some interesting findings along with their not-so-great flaws, like tiny sample sizes, short study periods, and, oh yeah, funding from organizations that really want low-carb to look good. Plus, without a clear definition of what “low-carb” actually means, how can we even compare results? My goal is to help you cut through the noise, think critically about diet research, and make choices that actually work for you . So grab a coffee (or a snack—no judgment here) and let’s get into it! —------- Join the Contest to win a “Be Fearless” mug! Go to Apple Podcast and on the desktop.

Hi Mamas! Have you ever wondered if your microwave is zapping the nutrients right out of your food? Or maybe you’ve heard whispers that it creates dangerous radiation? Let’s bust some myths and uncover the truth about this kitchen staple! In this episode, we take a trip back to 1946, when Percy Spencer accidentally melted a candy bar in his pocket and changed home cooking forever. We’ll break down how microwaves work (hint: it’s all about wiggling water molecules!), what the research really says about nutrient loss, and whether you should be worried about free radicals. Spoiler: your food isn’t turning radioactive. With studies, science, and a little bit of common sense, we’ll separate fact from fiction and help you feel confident about hitting that “start” button. Plus, I share some surprising ways microwaves might actually preserve nutrients better than other cooking methods. Tune in, and let’s dig into the truth about microwaves—no tin foil hats required! —------- Loved this episode? Please leave a review to help us reach more mamas like you!

Hi Mama! Today, we’re tackling the pressure to justify your health decisions to others. It’s easy to feel like you need all the right answers to explain yourself, but the truth is—you don’t owe anyone an explanation. No matter how much research you’ve done, some people just won’t understand, and that’s okay. Rather than getting caught up in debates or feeling like you have to defend your choices, this episode encourages a different approach. We talk about the power of confidence, the importance of curiosity, and how to navigate conversations without feeling overwhelmed. You don’t have to prove you’re right—your decisions stand on their own. So, if you’ve ever struggled with feeling the need to explain yourself, this episode is for you. Tune in for encouragement, practical advice, and a reminder that you are fully capable of making the best choices for you and your family—no justification required! —------- Loved this episode?

1 31 - Struggling with Mental Health? The Powerful Connection Between Nutrition and Behavior with Special Guest Elizabeth Taylor-McClure 32:01
Hey Mama! This is a power-packed episode that I know you will love! In today’s episode, I sat down with licensed professional counselor Elizabeth Taylor-McClure, who’s been helping people navigate mental health since 2007. She takes a holistic approach, looking beyond quick-fix solutions to understand the root causes of anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues—because let’s be real, slapping a Band-Aid on a deeper wound just doesn’t work. We dive into how nutrition impacts mental health (spoiler: what you eat really matters!), why Western medicine often misses the bigger picture, and how small lifestyle changes can make a huge difference. We also chat about the hidden connection between anxiety and physical health—think gut issues, autoimmune disorders, and hormone imbalances—and simple steps to break the stress cycle. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in anxiety loops, or wondered if there’s a deeper reason behind your mental health struggles, this episode is for you. Plus, don’t miss out on a super practical breathing technique that can help you calm your nervous system in minutes!

Hey Mama, Ever feel like your doctor is calling all the shots without really listening to you? In this episode, we’re flipping the script and reminding you that you are a healthcare consumer and your doctor works for you. It’s time to take charge of your health and ensure your medical team works in your best interest. We’ll chat about the importance of finding a doctor who listens, respects your concerns, and backs up their advice with real evidence — not just guidelines or industry norms. If they’re dismissive, condescending, or unwilling to collaborate, it might be time to move on. After all, your health is too important to leave in the hands of someone who doesn’t see you as an active participant in your own care. So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s dive into what it means to advocate for yourself in the doctor’s office. Because at the end of the day, you’re the one living in your body, and you deserve the best care possible! —------- Loved this episode? Please leave a review to help us reach more mamas like you!

Hi Mama! The first time I heard someone say that vegetables are dangerous , I laughed. Surely, this was a fad that would vanish in five minutes, right? Well… here we are, and the idea is still making the rounds, especially in the carnivore diet world. But is there any truth to it? Should you be side-eyeing your salad? In this episode, we’re diving into the claims that plants contain toxic compounds that harm your health. We’ll break down what’s real, what’s exaggerated, and why eating four cups of broccoli every three hours is (thankfully) not a real concern. From sulforaphane in broccoli to lectins in beans and oxalates in spinach, we’re looking at the big picture — because nutrients don’t exist in isolation, and your body is pretty amazing at handling what you eat. So, before you banish veggies from your plate, join me for a well-rounded, science-backed chat. Because spoiler alert: your kale smoothie is not out to get you. 🎧 Hit play and let’s dig in! —------- Sources mentioned: Su X, Jiang X, Meng L, Dong X, Shen Y, Xin Y.

1 27 - 5 Reasons Why You Need to Know More Than Your Doctor and Why Apathy Could Cost You Your Life 16:13
Hi Mamas! Today’s episode is on a topic that I’m very passionate about - the healthcare system and how it works. In this episode, I’m sharing why taking control of your health and knowing more than your doctor is so important. As a regular mom with no medical background, I had to learn how to question the system, do my own research, and make informed decisions for myself and my family. We’re unpacking some surprising truths about how the healthcare system works, like the limited nutrition training doctors receive, how insurance companies incentivize certain treatments, and why it’s okay to question recommendations. I even share some eye-opening insights about where doctors get their information (hint: it’s not always as thorough as you’d hope). This episode isn’t about ditching your doctor—it’s about being an empowered partner in your health journey. Tune in, and let’s explore how you can take charge of your care and find the truth that works for you. —------- Loved this episode? Please leave a review to help us reach more mamas like you!

1 26 - The Secrets to Getting Your Partner Onboard with Your New Healthy Lifestyle with Special Guest Justin Bedard 27:35
Hi Mama! I have such a special treat for you in this episode! I asked my husband, Justin, to come on the show because I hear from so many of you that one of the biggest challenges in making health changes— whether for yourself or your kids — is getting your spouse on board. One of our first bonding moments (before we were even dating) was tackling a 30-day no-sugar challenge together. Romantic, right? We may have broken that streak with the most indulgent brownie sundae ever, but hey, balance! In this episode, we talk about what it’s like when one spouse is more health-conscious than the other, how our perspectives have changed over time, and the ways we communicate (without judgment!) when making decisions for our family. From early marriage boiled-chicken dinners (no seasoning allowed!) to finding a flexible, balanced approach, we cover it all—including some of the more ahem heated debates, like our very first conversation about vaccines when I was pregnant. If you and your partner have ever butted heads over food, fitness, or family health choices, this episode is for you. We’re sharing what’s worked for us, the mindset shifts that helped us grow, and how curiosity, open-mindedness, and a little humor can go a long way in navigating these conversations.

Hey friends! 👋 This episode is a real heart-to-heart convo with me, so grab a cup of tea, your comfiest blanket, and settle in. Today, I’m coming clean about something that has definitely been a sneaky little troublemaker in my life— perfectionism.

We’re talking about five ways perfectionism impacts our health and why it’s so dangerous — but don’t worry, I’m also sharing the tips and truths that have helped me find peace. The bottom line? You’re on a journey. It’s not about getting it right all the time; it’s about growing in wisdom and learning to ditch the impossible standards.

Hey Mama! In this episode, I discuss adrenal fatigue, a term that is often used in alternative health but is frequently misunderstood. Actual adrenal fatigue, or Addison’s disease, is incredibly rare, and much of what’s being diagnosed as “adrenal fatigue” is likely something far less severe—or a completely different issue altogether. Misdiagnoses, unreliable saliva tests, and symptom lists that apply to everyone can leave you chasing solutions that may not address the root cause of your fatigue. Instead of jumping on the supplement bandwagon, I encourage you to step back and ask yourself the tough questions: Are your priorities in order? Are you taking care of your diet, sleep, and stress levels? Sometimes, the answers are more straightforward than we think, and real change comes from addressing lifestyle habits rather than relying on trendy diagnoses. If you feel stuck, don’t hesitate to seek professional help—go in armed with curiosity and a commitment to digging deeper. This episode is about empowering you to take charge of your health sustainably. ---------- Loved this episode? Please leave a review to help us reach more mamas like you!
