Rise & Shine with Adrienne Gold Davis

Live Like You're Dying

Imagine facing our own mortality and admitting that, one day, we will all die. How would you live your life differently? Maybe we'd break the chains of meaningless habits and maximize every moment. In today’s Rise & Shine, Adrienne Gold Davis explores the incredible power of living like we’re dying.

Expanding our Pleasure Repertoire

Remember when you were a child and took pleasure in everything — from singing to dancing to running around?
Then, you got older and stopped doing so many of the things you once loved to do, simply because you’re “not good at them.” In today’s Rise & Shine, Adrienne Gold Davis invites us to reclaim pleasure.

Disequilibrium Before Developmental Leaps

Before every period of growth and each developmental leap, we experience disequilibrium and discomfort. This is true for children — and it is true for us adults, too.

Being A Mensch

What does it mean to be your best self?

In today’s Rise & Shine podcast, Adrienne Gold Davis gives us insight on what it takes to get to the ultimate Mensch level by living our values and reaching for spiritual greatness.

 

Unity Without Uniformity

How can we achieve unity without uniformity in our homes, among our extended families, in our local hair salons, and beyond?

In today’s Rise & Shine podcast, Adrienne Gold Davis shares how we can discover this beautiful phenomenon by listening to one another instead of simply waiting to speak, bonding over our similarities and accepting our differences, and opening ourselves up to these beautiful moments that may happen when we're least expecting it.

What Is Yours Is Not For Me

How can you come to internalize that you’re exactly who you’re meant to be — and that greatness cannot be measured by looking outside yourself?

In this week’s Rise & Shine podcast, Adrienne Gold Davis explores how we can combat jealousy and strengthen our self-esteem with love and positivity.

Removing the DIS from Disability

When Adrienne Gold Davis asked her Bat Mitzvah class students to share their greatest challenge in life, she was blown away by one girl's unexpected response.

Ignorance Is NOT Bliss

What can help us weather this difficult time?

“Knowledge is the only preparation for a life of meaning. Use it now. Use it later. But use it, you will.”

In this week’s Rise & Shine, Adrienne Gold Davis explores how Jewish wisdom can change all of our lives.

Your Soul as a Candle

Yesterday, Momentum Founding Director Lori Palatnik lit a torch on behalf of Jewish individuals across the world at Israel's National Independence Day Ceremony, inspiring all of us and illuminating what we at Momentum know: When we are empowered, each one of us can transform ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world.

As Adrienne Gold Davis shares, “There is no darkness. There is merely the absence of light. Watch as the darkness is immediately chased away and how suddenly, things can become seen. This is the power of a single gesture of love.”

 

Defining Freedom

“The Torah is the instruction manual for maximizing one’s potential as both a body and a soul combined. When we learn how we’re made and what we're capable of, we become free to be the best we can be." 

 

Adrienne Gold Davis’ universal lessons steeped in Jewish values will give you just the boost you need.
