About this listen

 Maybe It’s Me is a question all women have asked themselves thousands of times. But I hope my podcast will resonate with anyone of any gender, sexual preference, race, religion, or nationality who is engaged in the very human search for connection, love, acceptance, and self-respect. I will air a new podcast every other week, starting with the essays from my critically acclaimed collection Maybe It’s Me, then moving on to newer musings about survival and resistance under a Trump dictatorship, how to keep learning and growing even as we age, how to unleash your own creativity in the form of the personal essay. A sometime standup comic, I will be reading my own work: imagine if David Sedaris were Jewish, straight, female, and not quite as funny.2024 Judaism Social Sciences Spirituality

    Since my earliest years, I've been told I couldn't catch a tune in a gallon bucket. Nothing scared me more than singing in front of another human being, let alone an audience. So, what prompted me to take a class in which I would be required to do just that? Why do so many of us take other people's judgments about our abilities as fact when we could, if provided with a kind and generous teacher, learn to do nearly anything?

    My father was a dentist, so I was restricted to one sweet a day. But our house was stuffed with candies, cookies, cakes, ice cream, and other treats. That's the world we're all living in today ... filled with temptations that constantly assault us, even as we're advised to indulge only in moderation. Which is a good way to drive a person nuts. (Deliciously rich and perfectly salted nuts, coated in the richest, darkest chocolate ...)
