About this episode

Kaitlin Kehler shares her journey of converting to Orthodox Judaism and the challenges and joys of building a new life.

Kaitlin Kehler joins me for a candid conversation about conversion to Orthodox Judaism, marriage, motherhood, identity, and building a completely new life from the ground up. Originally from Idaho, Kaitlin shares how her journey slowly evolved from curiosity and connection into fully embracing an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle alongside her husband. We talk honestly about culture shock, internet reactions, navigating change publicly, funny moments along the way, and what people don’t always understand about choosing this path. This episode is honest, warm, emotional, funny at times, and deeply human.
