In this deeply insightful episode of Raw, I sit down with Smadar Miller—an educator, writer, and founder of transformative programs like “Krovim” for relationships and sexuality, and “Miller College” for women’s financial empowerment. With a unique blend of expertise in relationships, sexuality, and self-fulfillment, Smadar shares her profound perspective on how collective trauma, like the ongoing war, impacts intimacy, desire, and our connection to ourselves and others.


We delve into:
• The events of October 7 as a “symbolic assault” on Israeli society and their ripple effects on personal and collective sexuality.
• The challenges couples face during prolonged conflict—disrupted routines, long separations, and the impact on intimacy.
• How sexuality can serve as a healing force, reconnecting us to our bodies, our partners, and the present moment.
• Tools and practices for rebuilding intimacy and rediscovering pleasure during times of immense stress.
• Insights into parenting and how to talk to children about sexuality in ways that foster security and resilience.


Smadar’s thoughtful approach integrates culture, body awareness, and emotional independence, offering a roadmap for navigating relationships and intimacy even in the most challenging times. Whether you’re seeking solace, understanding, or tools for growth, this episode will inspire and empower you.


Tune in for a conversation that bridges the personal and the universal, reminding us of the healing power of connection.
