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

    When I was young, my parents warned me against going anywhere alone. But how was I to accomplish anything I wanted to accomplish in this world if I stayed home ... or waited for some guy to accompany and protect me? Just as my parents feared, some pretty bad things happened. Today, we tell our daughters they can do anything a man can do. Yet the #MeToo movement has filled them with the same fears of sexual assault my parents instilled in me. What are young women supposed to do with all these contradictions?
