Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

As humans, we are built to experience big emotions. For some, this is uncomfortable, and we try to avoid feeling them fully. However, Kabbalah teaches that when we are in touch with our emotions, they can guide us and tell us how we’re doing. In this insightful episode, Monica and Michael discuss the importance of making space for sadness in our lives while simultaneously working to transcend it in healthy ways.



“Sadness is a call from our soul telling us that things aren’t as they should be and we aren’t paying attention.” – Michael Berg
