The Possibility in the Universe

In this episode, Rivky and Chani take us behind the scenes of their own friendship, exploring what creates the rare experience of "true friendship" in adulthood. Through vulnerable storytelling, they examine the power of finding someone who can reflect your essence without projection or judgment - what Chani describes as "living in a realm beyond polarity" where you can simply BE without any push or pull. The hosts share practical insights from their friendship journey, including how they navigate triggers, the importance of asking permission before giving feedback, and why humor becomes a gateway to deeper honesty. They offer actionable principles for cultivating authentic friendship, from practicing specific gratitude to allowing friends to grow and change without taking it personally. This episode reveals how adult friendships formed in maturity can offer a unique mirror for who we are now, rather than who we used to be, and demonstrates that the friendship we seek with others must first begin with how we befriend ourselves.

In this episode, Rivky and Chani explore what it truly means to be in flow and why so many of us unconsciously resist it. Chani opens with a vulnerable story about creating her new business, Grassroots, and realizing she was asking God for abundance while simultaneously blocking her ability to receive it. This leads to a powerful discussion about how flow requires alignment between what we're asking for and what we're actually available to receive. They dive into the misconceptions about flow, particularly the idea that surrender means becoming passive. Instead, they reveal how true flow involves active participation in listening to guidance and taking aligned action. The conversation explores why expanding our capacity to hold what we want is often the real work, and why we sometimes choose to stay stuck because we've been conditioned to believe we're closest to the divine during crisis. Throughout, they emphasize that being in flow doesn't mean life becomes perfect. It means trusting your intuition, taking responsibility for what's truly yours, and allowing yourself to move with the rhythm of your own being rather than forcing outcomes. This episode offers both practical wisdom and spiritual depth for anyone ready to examine what might be blocking their natural state of flow and abundance.

We’re back with a very special and personal episode! In this one, Rivky—co-host, Somatic therapist, hypnotherapist, and Energy Practitioner— is interviewed by Chani about her personal journey into this work. From her beginnings working with children with autism to her work now as a healing facilitator of groups, 1:1 clients, courses and retreat leading, Rivky shares how healing herself becomes the key to helping others heal. We explore the difference between top-down and bottom-up approaches to therapy, the power of embodied healing, the role of divine connection, and the importance of boundaries and self-trust. Rivky offers heartfelt reflections on people-pleasing, trauma, burnout, and the deep impact of choosing oneself again and again. This episode is filled with vulnerability, inspiration, and a reminder that our presence—and willingness to feel—is our greatest medicine.

In this episode, Rivky and Chani go deep into their definition of the term "codependency." They talk about the possibilities of healing it and the many ways that it can express itself. They speak of personal stories, the most popular and also the more sneaky ways it shows up in our lives and the lives of people we love, and codependency in relation to our attachment styles. They discussed the "savior/hyper-independent" archetype and where that stems from, the childhood root from which our defense mechanisms and ways of being come from. Most of all, there is so much hope in this episode of the possibilities in secure attachment, bringing some of these patterns and shadows into the light, and choosing the Self, finding the Self and learning to trust the Self in a new way. Individuality so we can truly all have true connection. We hope you feel understood, resonate and receive whatever it is you need or desire in this area, from this episode. Happy listening!
