In today's episode, Leah and Jamie discuss Artificial Intelligence. An interesting topic where they wrestle with the idea that AI as we know it today may not be as "intelligent" as it has been billed as. Hopefully you will come to your own conclusions about A.I., and we encourage you to do that! We've even offered some great links here in the show notes!

Oh, and FYI, Jamie and Leah are going to take a little break for the month of January. We will be back with season three (we can't believe we've come this far!) in February. Hope you and your loved ones have had a wonderful holiday season!

Hi there...

Today, Leah and I discuss a book called "Here I Am." A book by Dr. Leonard Felder. The extended title for his book is, "Using Jewish Spiritual Wisdom to Become More Present, Centered, and Available For Life."

While we do spend a lot of our time discussing some of the parts of the book, our discussion ranges from strategies found in Felder's book to discussions of how to navigate the current world's climate.

Leah and I are in the process of completing our first season together, and we have enjoyed working on this podcast. Our next season starts in 2025, and we hope to have some more deep and thoughtful conversations in the new year! Join us!

Also, look for us on Blue Sky. I will give more details when I get the account set up, but we should be able to share details on this in a few weeks!

And...Great News! I've just started a Facebook Page too! Check us out!

So...I know we promised to talk about our favorite quotes on this episode, and we fully planned on it, but sometimes things happen that take us down a different road.

Today, Leah and Jamie spend a bit of quality time trying to dispel the way body image plays such a negative role in our everyday lives. Jamie spends some time relaying a situation at work where the current event of the day was the "Obesity Epidemic," and pandemonium broke out between the adults in the room.

While there is some credibility to the science of unhealthy weight, there are so many little strands of complexity to the issue of weight and body image, and some of it hearkens back to our episode about Food Insecurity and Racial Justice.

With so many people struggling with body image - not just fat shaming - a new way to approach humans should be with more kindness and support! Hope you enjoy!
