In a world plagued by the resurgence of antisemitism, the fight against hatred and prejudice has become more crucial than ever. From the darkest days of the Holocaust to the recent tragic events in Israel, the Jewish community continues to face a wave of discrimination and violence. The diaspora, scattered across the globe, is witnessing a disturbing surge in antisemitic incidents, from protests and disturbances to bomb threats and isolated hate crimes. Social media platforms are being used to spread propaganda and fuel the flames of hatred. Amidst this chaos, a new initiative has emerged to combat antisemitism and promote unity. Join me as I sit down with Samantha Ettus, a renowned author and public speaker, who has shifted her focus to speak out against antisemitism. Through her initiative, NEWVOICES 2024, celebrities and influencers are encouraged to use their platforms to denounce antisemitism and stand in solidarity with the Jewish community. The message is simple: "I speak out against antisemitism." Despite the challenges and risks involved, Samantha's campaign has gained momentum, inspiring others to raise their voices against hatred and bigotry. By speaking out, individuals can make a difference and create a ripple effect of change. It is not about taking sides in a political conflict, but about taking a stand against injustice and discrimination. As Samantha travels the world, empowering others to unleash their inner activist, the movement continues to grow.Join us as we explore the power of raising your voice, standing up against antisemitism, and creating a more inclusive and compassionate world for all.Love the show?

We all create stories in our heads based on our perceptions of events we experience. These false narratives can stay with us throughout our lives and contribute to us attracting negative people or experiences that feel familiar to us. For example, if we are verbally abused growing up, we may attract an abusive mate when we are older, as this is a familiar experience even though it is not healthy for us. Hypnotherapy is the process of helping to shift the narrative and allow you to rid yourself of these negative self-sabotage behaviors or beliefs and, in turn, create healthier, positive ones.Listen to this episode as Karen, along with her fellow goddesses, discuss with Life Coaching Goddess Brooke Kekos the advantages of the process of hypnotherapy. Karen had the experience prior to the interview and has an opportunity to talk about it with Brooke. Hear how Karen was able to get deep into the negative story and begin a shift of consciousness. Hear how hypnosis is not a scary therapy but rather a soothing, helpful technique to use to help you see a more positive way to live your life free of bad behaviors and thoughts. Change your story and change your life for the better with RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy, Hypnotherapy).Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://gratefulgoddesses.com/
Empaths and sensitive people have a good perception of what’s really going on in the world. They take in 100 times more information than the “normal person.” Join Karen in her conversation with Diana Hartley, an empath herself, as they converse about empaths and sensitive people. Diana’s mission is to “help highly sensitive people called heart people to bring to awareness their gifts of perception, kindness, and empathy.” Many empaths do not understand their abilities and may in fact be labeled as mentally ill or too sensitive when in fact they are extremely caring individuals who come from the heart. Karen has the opportunity to take a survey, which reveals that she is also a highly sensitive person and perhaps even empathic, which explains why she often absorbs people’s energy. Diana teaches empathic and highly sensitive people how to harness their gifts and use this strength to help others, which ultimately can help heal the world. Karen, in turn, comes to the realization that she needs to place boundaries on others and try to create a barrier so she is not always absorbing others energy and can create a healthy distance while also helping others. Learn that you can do this too, using the techniques that Diana shares.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://gratefulgoddesses.com/
In this episode of the Grateful Goddesses podcast, host Karen Pulver shares her personal journey as a stroke survivor. Back in February 12, 2023, Karen experienced a life altering stroke that changed her perspective on life. In this inspiring episode, Karen interviews fellow stroke survivor Peter Krammer and stroke support coordinator Molly Pretet.During the conversation, Karen and Peter discuss their individual experiences with stroke and the challenges they have faced in moving forward. They shed light on the fact that stroke can be an invisible illness, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about this condition.

These experiences enabled them to find calmness and view life from a different perspective. The episode also offers practical suggestions for stroke survivors on what they can do now, focusing on the possibilities rather than the limitations caused by the stroke. The hope is that listeners and viewers will be inspired to listen to their bodies, give themselves grace and space to heal, and know there is always support available when needed. Tune in to this episode of the Grateful Goddesses podcast to gain insight, inspiration, and a renewed sense of hope in the face of adversity.

Since the bloody massacre on October 7, 2023, I have been paralyzed with fear and uncertainty about how to respond. Initially, I considered removing symbols of my Jewish identity and remaining silent on social media. However, I came across two courageous women who identify as accidental Israeli activists. Despite being busy moms and successful business owners, they immediately began posting their support for Israel without hesitation. They expressed their disbelief at the silence of others, including celebrities, and emphasized the importance of using our platforms to speak out against antisemitism and propaganda. The war in the Middle East has had devastating consequences for civilians on both sides, and Israel has been forced to defend itself since Hamas broke the cease-fire. Antisemitism has become rampant, with some colleges failing to stand up for Jewish student rights. Discovering these two women on Instagram inspired me to reach out and join their efforts to speak out against antisemitism. In this episode, we will learn how to engage in informed and civil conversations, stay informed ourselves, and stand up against hatred while praying for peace. On this 101st day of captivity for the hostages, I hope they will be released soon and that the world will experience peace. When people speak out, it becomes less intimidating for others to do the same. I hope this podcast episode inspires and empowers you to use your voice and engage in conversations. Even if we may not always agree, let us come together and pray for peace.
What kind of human being do you want to be walking on this Earth? What is your moral compass and what are your humanitarian objectives in life? What have you been taught by your parents or have you learned along your life journey? Listen on this podcast to Film writer, and director Beth Lane as we open up the conversation about her upcoming Documentary “Would You Hide Me?” The story of Beth’s journey to discover and unpack the bravery and courage of Arther and Paula Schmitt, a couple who hid Beth’s mother and siblings during World War Two. The Documentary scheduled to be released in May 2022 tells the story through the lens of the Schmitt family who had the courage to hide Beth’s mother and siblings as well as another mother and daughter for two years at their farm at risk of being murdered themselves if found out. Our conversation with Beth will hopefully open your eyes to the examination for yourself of the question “would you hide me?” In times like these where revisionist history is occurring and many Holocaust survivors' stories are being put in the camp of archaic history. Beth brings to light how we can have these conversations of “what would you do” in a non-confrontational way and we can stay present and learn what made us act and believe the way we do. What were we taught and what do we teach our children.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://gratefulgoddesses.com/
I am a broken arm, I am appendix removed, I am cancer…When you hear that, what do you think? Take a minute… Yes, I had a broken arm, my appendix removed, and cancer but they do not define who I am. So why do people who have mental health issues often say, “I am bipolar, I am schizophrenic, I am depressed?”There is a STIGMA associated with mental health issues.If you are someone who is suffering from any symptoms of mental health issues, or if you know someone who is, I am hoping that this episode of Grateful Goddesses will help you to release the stigma and see there is hope and positivity ahead!
