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

    We're forgetting just how horrifying it was to live through the covid pandemic, especially if you were elderly, disabled, or otherwise at risk. We're forgetting how many loved ones we lost, how many survivors were left with lifetime damage, both physical and emotional. Given that the current administration has decimated our defenses against any future pandemics, I felt the need to offer a reminder.
