Are you ready to meet my coach? 
In this episode I share why I am inspired by my spiritual trainer, international speaker, educator and author Ruchi Koval- who cultivated a program designed to make me the judgmentally-leanest, non-meanest, finding-a-better-way-than-to-fight-machinist I have ever been!

In her book Soul Construction: Shape Your Character using 8 Steps From The Timeless Jewish Practice of Mussar, we embark on a soul-searching journey into exploring how our relationships can serve as compasses guiding us toward our best selves. Ruchi shares her profound insights on recognizing a wise friendship, the strength in accepting others, and the transformative power of taking ownership of our mistakes.

Our discussion takes a deep dive into the intricacies of mutual respect and admiration, while also shedding light on the tricky terrain of constructive feedback versus criticism that diminishes growth. Ruchi artfully guides us through these nuances, setting the stage for a better understanding of how to foster generosity and exercise restraint in our relationships. Our conversation takes an enlightening turn as we mull over the impact of our words, and the importance of silence as a counterbalance.

We conclude with a heartening exploration of the concept of happiness, and how refining each of these eight character traits enables us to work through the process to attain it. 

Ruchi is the Co-Founder and Director of the Jewish Family Experience in Cleveland, Ohio. She has written Conversations with God, Soul Construction and is in the process of completing her third book.
