Description
We’ve all heard the inspiring stories of hashgacha pratis and self-sacrifice of BTs who have done whatever it takes to make the sometimes huge change to a life of Torah observance. But what happens after that initial decision to become observant? How do BTs navigate their new world which is full of unspoken rules that can’t exactly be found on Aish.com?
We speak with Liv Sher, an undergrad at NYU, and newly observant NFW, as well as Penina Taylor, an inspirational speaker and master mindset coach, who has married off all her children.
In this episode you’ll hear:
What inspired Liv and Penina to become frum
Challenges Liv has faced
Liv’s message for the frum community
The most valuable piece of advice Penina received
Penina’s advice for BTs in earlier stages
The 5 stages of Teshuva according to Penina
At the end of today’s episode, we hope you’ll have gained more insight into, and appreciation of, the experiences of baalei teshuva in our community.

BONUS: Normal Frum Rebbetzins Continued: We had a lot of extra content from our conversations with Chamie Haber and Yocheved Goldberg that we weren’t able to fit into the final cut for the Normal Frum Rebbetzins episode, and we thought it would be a nice pre-Pesach treat to share those unheard s by Deep Meaningful Conversations
