Episode 86: The One Where We Make Our Mess Your Message ft. Rylin Rossano

Getting your life together looks inspiring… until you’re the one fighting your own body to do it. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Rylin Rossano, a 19-year-old author, podcast host, psychology grad student, yoga instructor, and chronic illness advocate. Rylin graduated high school at 15, started college early, built her podcast, wrote two books, and created her own publishing company… but that’s just the surface. What we really get into is what happens when life forces you to grow up fast. How to advocate for yourself. How to keep going when doctors don’t have answers. How to turn your mess into a message. We talk about POTS, chronic illness, being misunderstood, sharing your story before you feel ready, and why vulnerability is one of the most powerful ways to help people feel less alone. Her life lesson? Be scared and do it anyways. This one feels like a reminder that your struggles don’t disqualify you. They might be the exact thing that helps someone else heal. Rylin Rossano is an author, podcast host, yoga instructor, and founder of Take Care Press, using her story to create safe spaces around health, healing, and self-worth. This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.

Episode 85: The One with the Future of Wellness ft. Lynsey Goedecke

In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Lynsey Goedecke, former graphic designer turned wellness entrepreneur, who went all in on building her own health and wellness business through her partnership with SuperPatch. We dive into the real, less glamorized side of entrepreneurship: what it actually takes to build something from the ground up, navigate uncertainty, believe in your product, and continue showing up even when business feels unconventional or misunderstood. This conversation goes far beyond wellness patches. We talk about identity shifts, taking leaps of faith, balancing marriage and ambition, and building a business around something you genuinely believe can improve people’s quality of life. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a wife, someone passionate about health and wellness, or simply trying to create a life that feels aligned, this episode is full of honest conversation, encouragement, and insight into what it means to bet on yourself. Lynsey’s business, LMG Health & Wellness, is partnered with SuperPatch, a drug-free, ingredient-free wellness company offering 15 different patches designed to support energy, focus, sleep, balance, pain relief, stress support, and overall quality of life. Over $40 million has been invested into SuperPatch and its mission, alongside published peer-reviewed studies and growing awareness around the technology. ✨ Special Offer: When you order a full month supply (30 patches) through Lynsey’s website, you’ll receive 30% off using her link below. 🔗 Lynsey’s Website: ⁠ [http://lynseywellness.superpatch.com]lynseywellness.superpatch.com [http://lynseywellness.superpatch.com]⁠ [http://lynseywellness.superpatch.com] 📱 Follow Lynsey: Instagram: @LynseyGoedecke Facebook: @LynseyGoedecke 🎥 Learn More About SuperPatch + Their Mission: ⁠ [https://youtu.be/dzGCa4wOUGI]https://youtu.be/dzGCa4wOUGI⁠ [https://youtu.be/dzGCa4wOUGI⁠] Connect with Jew From The Lou 📱 Instagram: @jewfromthelou 📱 TikTok: @jewfromthelou 📱 YouTube: @jewfromthelou #JewFromTheLou #EntrepreneurMindset #BuildYourDream #DreamBigWorkHard

Episode 84: The One Where I'm Just A Girl ft. Dr. Lauren Kimmerly

What if the life you want… requires you to let go of the version of you that expects it to be easy? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Kimmerly for a conversation that’s equal parts grounding and empowering. We talk about the truth no one really wants to hear… no one owes you anything. And why that realization might actually be the thing that sets you free. We dive into what it really looks like to pursue big dreams, the messy middle where nothing goes as planned, and how your first version is never your final one. This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t linear, success isn’t guaranteed, and the path will surprise you in ways you didn’t see coming. But also… you’re capable of more than you think. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like you’re not “there” yet, this conversation will bring you back to your why and remind you that you’re already doing the hard things. And you’re not done yet. Because life is short. And you’ve got a lot more dragons to slay. This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.

Episode 83: The One About Letting Go to Grow ft. Gabe Keeven

Empty spaces in the city don’t look like much… until someone sees what they could become. In this episode of Jew From The Lou, I sit down with Gabe Keeven, founder of Side Lot Farms, and we get into what it really takes to build something from nothing… and then trust it to grow beyond you. Gabe turned overlooked spaces in St. Louis into thriving urban farms and businesses rooted in purpose and creativity. But what we really talk about is leadership. How to let go. How to trust your team. How to lead something bigger than yourself. Because at some point, every founder has to release control in order to grow. And somehow, a coffee enthusiast and a horticulturist realize they have more in common than you’d expect. This one feels like a conversation about business… but it’s really about growth. Gabe Keeven is the founder of Side Lot Farms, transforming the city of St. Louis through sustainable, intentional work. This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.

In this episode, the boys are back… and we’re diving deep into all things coffee! Nechama sits down with small-batch roasters Will and Josh for a full-circle conversation on how passion, culture, and community brought them into the world of coffee. From unexpected beginnings to burning beans in their kitchens, their journeys are anything but traditional. What starts as a lighthearted coffee chat quickly turns into something deeper. The trio explores how global experiences in places like Peru and Ethiopia shaped their appreciation for coffee as more than just a drink, but a ritual rooted in connection and generosity. They break down the art and science behind roasting, the realities of building a coffee business from the ground up, and the differences between hobbyists and full-time entrepreneurs. You’ll also get insider insight into coffee development, sourcing beans, and what actually makes a great cup. But beyond the beans, this episode touches on something even more meaningful: grief, purpose, and building a life rooted in intention. Through personal stories of loss and resilience, the conversation highlights how community, faith, and small acts of kindness can create lasting impact. Whether you’re a coffee nerd, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone navigating life’s ups and downs, this episode is a reminder that: life is short, community matters, and sometimes the smallest moments mean everything. 🎙️ Tune in for: * How two friends turned curiosity into coffee roasting businesses * The cultural significance of coffee around the world * Real talk on building a business from passion * Coffee myths, roasting tips, and insider knowledge * A powerful conversation on grief, growth, and living with intention Listen now on Jew From The Lou and don’t forget to share with a fellow coffee lover 🤍 This is the Jew From The Lou Podcast, where real stories meet real inspiration.
