Chayei Sarah: The Body as a Home for G-d

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/11/13

In this episode of More to the Story, I talk about how the energy of Vayeira flows into Chayei Sarah. These parshiyos are not separate stories but one current of guidance that keeps unfolding. I speak about Avraham’s open heart, his hospitality, his prayers for Sodom, and how they teach us what it means to love without agenda. I also look at Lot’s home and how the energy of a parent shapes the moral weather of a family. I spend time with Sarah. Her abductions. Her conversations with Hashem ...

What My Name is Teaching Me About My Mission

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/11/06

In this episode, I share a story about a book my husband handed me that cracked something open, and how discovering the legacy of Rebbetzin Devora Leah gave me language for a mission I’ve been living without knowing. The name I carry has introduced me to parts of my soul I’ve only recently come to understand. I also reflect on what it means to honor the "animal soul" within us and why it may be the missing piece in the sacred work of marriage, motherhood, and inner connection. For those lea...

Lecha Lecha: An Annual Journey Inward

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/10/30

In this episode of More to the Story, I talk about what it really means that Avraham believed. Not only that he believed in Hashem, but that he believed in his own ability to hear truth. He trusted what he received. He didn’t make himself small. That kind of faith is what begins every healing journey. I also speak about why the first mitzvah Avraham is given is on the body. Hashem asks him to bring holiness into the most physical and vulnerable place. We are not meant to rise above our bodie...

Noach: Swimming Through the Flood

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/10/23

In this episode of More to the Story, I look back at last week’s Parsha and ahead to the one that’s coming, and I find myself standing right in between them. I talk about what it means to live with the Parsha, to feel that each week carries its own heartbeat, its own invitation to grow and return. For me, connecting to the Parsha is not about studying alone. It is about being part of a living, breathing story that moves through time and through us. Each week offers its own light, its own work...

Bereshit: The Battle for Our Inner Israel

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/10/20

In this episode of More to the Story, I talk about the very first Rashi in the Torah and how it is also Rashi’s own introduction to himself. Rashi asks why the Torah begins with the creation of the world instead of with the first commandment. The answer, he says, is that Hashem started with creation so that when the world accuses us of taking what is not ours, we can remember who the true Creator is. The Rebbe takes it further. He explains that the land of Israel is not only a place on a map....

Return to a Truer Version of Teshuvah

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/10/01

This episode was recorded just before Yom Kippur. It is about Teshuvah, but not in the way I once understood it. Like much of my life, its meaning keeps evolving. I reflect on how the language of repentance has often felt like a weapon, and how I am learning to reclaim it as something tender and true. Like many of my offerings, this one is unpolished and raw. It is a voice memo of the soul, shared from the middle of the process. I speak about what Yom Kippur means to me this year, the questio...

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/09/30

In this Q&A, I speak from the place I’m still in, where clarity and doubt live together. I talk about nearly walking away from my marriage and what helped me stay. I share what it means to carry something too heavy alone and what becomes possible when both people keep showing up. We talk about the power of the 12-step world and the places it cannot reach. I speak about the depth of plant medicine and the quiet strength of women I’ve met along the way. I share what it means to let go of s...

You Don’t Have to Figure It All Out on Your Own

More to the Story with Lea Rubashkin ·

2025/09/09

In this first episode of More to the Story, I return to where it all began. Not just the beginning of healing, but the beginning of me. I talk about growing up in Crown Heights in a large Chabad family, shaped by strong voices and quiet expectations, and the inner world I carried through it all. I share what it was like to fall in love, become a mother, and then watch the life I had built start to crack open. I speak about discovering my husband’s addiction, how it stirred memories I had bur...
