Emmi Polansky: Finding Agency as a Single Mother [Teshuva IV 4/5]

This series is sponsored by Mira and Daniel Stokar, and this episode is sponsored by dailygiving.org . In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast , we talk to Emmi Polansky, known on social media as @livingemunah , about her journey finding agency as a single mother. Sometimes, when we talk about teshuva, we’re referring to repentance for our specific sins. Another type of teshuva, as we explore, is a return to God as we celebrate our own worthiness and tzelem Elokim. In this episode we discuss: What is it like to participate in chagim and simchas during the process of divorce? How do we pick up the pieces when our plans for a perfect familial and spiritual life fall apart? How did fitness help improve Emmi ‘s mental and emotional health? Tune in to hear a conversation about what it means to repeatedly return to God in times of apparent loneliness. Interview begins at 12:21.
