Thank you toZelle and Mindy Kalingfor a funny upbeat chat about how to not just survive the holidays but THRIVE! How does she do it?
Zelle found that the top three stressors are: MONEY, FAMILY OBLIGATIONS and TIME.
Mindy says: The perfect gift to give is CASH using ZELLE
How do you make time for YOU?
Mindy says: “Self care will make me a better parent!” Her top priority is to get 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep so she can be the best mom for her kids.
Zelle wants you to be financially savy! To be successful, you need to be MONEY SMART! Two thirds (2/3) of American adults need more financial skills around budgeting, planning for your future and paying off their debts. Figuring out credit card bills, health care costs and mortgage payments is stressful for many people. Becoming a parent inspires many people to do a financial audit, figure out a plan and make a will.
Mindy’s TIPS for your financial future:
STOP shopping online out of boredom. Only buy things you really want or need.
It is important to not only save money but also to invest wisely.
Many women are uncomfortable to talk about money which is why Zelle wants to sponsor more conversations like this to normalize it!
Does Mindy make New Year’s Resolutions? YES! and Vision Boards! Read more about her process in Vogue Well Intentioned!
She talked with James Corden on The Late Late Show about her vision boards:
This year her resolution is to be more healthy! She wants to lose weight and be healthier to live a long life with her children!
This Tisha b’Av, as we mourn over the Temple once more, it is an occasion to consider what resonance the remnants of the Temple structure hold for us today.
Coalition supporters want to define Eisenkot as a leftist because leftist is a title most Israelis do not want their Prime Minister to hold. But this definition has inherent limitations.
Last week, I moderated a panel of interfaith leaders fighting antisemtism and supporting Israel as part of the American Muslim and Multifaith Women’s Empowerment Council’s conference.
As if life needed one more complication, my anniversary with life, my birthday, usually falls somewhere inside the Three Weeks, that narrow corridor of Jewish time when celebration starts to feel suspicious.
Anti-Israelism has become a kind of cultural and political loyalty test that has almost nothing to do with the actual policy questions at stake. If the postwar liberal order is fragmenting, the story of Israel is a symptom of that fragmentation, not its cause.
The film reminded me that an ancient poet could write about massacres but also about moral courage, while terrorists who dream of killing Jews can only think of going right to the massacre.
