Our Vulnerable, Authentic Journey to Freedom: Rabbi YY Interviewed on Inside Out Podcast

Description

In this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah and Eda, we welcome Rabbi YY Jacobson to discuss why many people lack inner freedom even in good external conditions, emphasizing that freedom requires disciplined inner work: noticing one’s “Egypt,” pausing before reacting, cultivating curiosity, prayer, support systems, and being truly seen. Jacobson explores destructive vs. holy shame, Tanya’s model of distinguishing animal and divine consciousness, surrendering control to God without surrendering to abuse, and experiencing embodied oneness as redemptive consciousness. He also contrasts revealed and hidden miracles (Pesach vs. Purim), reflects on current events and collective resilience, and highlights softening the heart, authenticity, and non-transactional relationships.
