Human & HolyLearning to Receive with Hindi KalmensonIn this episode, I interview Hindi Kalmenson, who is a marriage coach, teacher, and mom of four. Hindi takes us on her journey of learning to embrace her imperfections and let go of control in order to truly receive from the people around her and from G-d. Hindi’s story is inspired by the kabbalistic idea of mashpia and mekabel, the relationship between the giver and the receiver. How is our need for control and illusion of self-perfection stopping us from truly receiving?
Hindi is a certified marriage coach living in LA. She can be contacted at hindikalmenson@gmail.com.
