The Yom Tov season is a spiritual time to connect deeply. But for mothers in the thick of all the preparations, it’s easy to lose sight of that connection under the pressure of expectations. What if this year, instead of striving for perfection, you invited intention into every moment?

In this episode, Nikki Rotshtein of Kavana Parenting joins Raizy to guide you toward inviting your family into a multisensory spiritual experience, one that shapes values, gives children lasting memories, and builds your own inner connection. You’ll discover how, even when davening is hard, one can still grow. How your role as a mother carries a unique feminine spiritual power, and why these moments matter more than getting every detail right.
