In this episode of The Social Dialogue Podcast, Shane and Jenna sit down with Rabbi Melissa Stollman - a reform rabbi, Jewish educator, and all-around community builder with a background in fundraising, marketing, and event planning.
Melissa’s career path doesn’t fit into a single box - and that’s exactly the point. Together, they talk about embracing nonlinear careers, why multitasking can actually be a superpower, and how building real community (online and offline) starts with showing up with intention.
The conversation also weaves in what resilience really looks like for our children, and how to navigate big transitions without having it all figured out.
If you’re a student, a parent, or someone figuring out their next chapter, this episode is full of perspective, reassurance, and honest advice.
