What happens when women decide to opt out - not just from dating or marriage, but from nearly every interaction with men? Imagine a movement where women refuse to make eye contact with men, support male-owned businesses, or even acknowledge men in social settings. This isn't speculation - it's the 4B movement, which began in South Korea and is now gaining traction in America. This movement is transforming personal choices about relationships and family into radical political statements.
What drives women to make such extreme lifestyle choices? How did a movement born from economic disparity in South Korea evolve into an American expression of political protest? Through personal experience and thoughtful analysis, this episode examines what this tells us about modern family life, gender relations, and the growing divide between men and women in our society.
Join me for a raw, unfiltered exploration that challenges us to think deeply about relationships, family dynamics, and the future of family structures. Whether you agree or disagree with its premises, understanding this phenomenon helps us better grasp - and perhaps shape - the evolving landscape of modern family life.

How do we raise children who may objectively be victims, without developing a victim mindset? In this deeply personal episode, I explore this complex question that carries meaning far beyond any specific group or circumstance.

Drawing from my personal experiences and family wisdom, I dive into practical strategies for allowing children to feel their genuine emotions while not letting hardship become their defining story.

In a world where the mere mention of judgment can spark controversy and shame, it's easy to lose sight of its essential role in our lives. There's a crucial difference between being judgmental and exercising sound judgment, yet the fear of judgment has led many to forsake their ability to discern, blurring the lines between criticism and discernment.
Join us as we navigate this delicate balance, uncovering why it's vital not to shy away from judgment but instead to embrace it as a cornerstone of wisdom. And perhaps most importantly, why giving the gift of good judgment to our children is an invaluable tool for them in navigating life's complexities with clarity and compassion.

Sleep experts, parenting gurus, and influencers will come out with dramatic, dogmatic, and sometimes even fanatic statements, like "Never ____" or "The choice to ______ is akin to abuse".
But these types of statements encourage a delusion in us parents: that there is ONE right, true and perfect way to parent. That there are whole and complete solutions to our queries and all we have to do is to keep swiping left until we find them.
In this episode, I break down why Thomas Sowell was so, so right when he said: "There are no solutions, only tradeoffs." and I encourage you to take a more nuances, contextual, and individualized perspective when you're digesting your daily dose of parenting advice.

It might be hard to imagine, but the emphasis on "safety" as one of the main goals for parents, was not always the prevailing value that humans sought after. Today, there's an acute obsession with physical and emotional safety. Caution signs and buzzwords like "safe space" and "trigger warnings" permeate societal circles. But "safetyism" actually leads us all to be less safe.
In this episode, I share 3 surprising ways in which a high emphasis on safety actually deteriorates resiliency and 3 strategies you can start practicing now to raise children who are strong - physically, emotionally, and mentally. ~ Learn more about "safetyism" in the context of fostering independence in young children (starting at the earliest ages!) through the surprising powers of play in Avital's new book, Reclaim Play (reclaimplay.com/book).

If you sometimes waver in your undying commitment and love in your marriage, the resounding advice from the self-help experts of the decade is: "Well, maybe you're just not a match." Has this seed of doubt been planted in your mind?
In this podcast, I share a clip of Mel Robbins giving advice that's not at all uncommon today. As someone who has been categorically labeled as "incompatible" by well-meaning friends, family, and even personality tests that actually point out all the ways that my husband and I are NOT compatible ...allow me to respectfully disagree with Mel and bust, what I call, The Myth of Compatibility!

"You have 5 little kids and you published a book? HOW???" This has been the refrain I've been asked over the past couple of weeks since my book, Reclaim Play, hit Amazon. It certainly wasn't an easy process for me and maybe that's why it took me four whole years!
I love to learn from every area of my life and writing a book is no exception. There were many lessons that I gleaned from this process and today I'm sharing them with you - whether it's a book you want to write, a marathon you want to run, a business you want to start or even just a greater sense of productivity and capacity that you want to foster: this episode is for you!

Phew! They say writing a book is not for the faint of heart and I now fully understand why 87% of people who want to write a book - don’t ever write one. But with gratitude to my children who played independently for enough hours for me to actually both write and illustrate this book (yep, those doodles are mine), I have now escaped that statistic and my book baby has been born!!! 🎉
Reclaim Play delivers an inspiring manifesto on why play is critical for children and a comprehensive how-to for parents to bring back the magic of childhood.
In this podcast episode, hear me narrate chapter 3 of the book... the part that explains how play has been S.T.O.L.E.N; where it’s gone, what that acronym stands for, and most importantly: how we’re going to get it back.

Have you noticed that the growing trend of "family last" culture? This episode holds a heartfelt hope: that each of us can consciously pivot towards a "family first" culture.
When we place family at the forefront, we're not just fostering stronger relationships, we're also shaping future generations. It is - literally - how we change the world. Raising children with a strong emotional foundation, equipping them with the resilience to face the challenges that lie ahead - is not for the faint of heart. It's an epic adventure.
Exit the "family last" culture and rediscover the viable, available, and sustainable paths to deep meaning, belonging, and purpose.
