Azamra applications are technically closed.

But the song is still calling.
And there are a few spots left.

So if you’ve been standing at the edge,
wondering if maybe, just maybe,
there was still a way in…
this is me reaching out my hand and saying,

Come.

In the past few weeks, I’ve had the honor of interviewing some of the most incredible souls.
Men and women who didn’t just show up with dreams
they came with a kind of raw, holy hunger.

One after another, they’ve said things that left me breathless.

One applicant told me,
"I know that when I’m 80, this year will have shaped who I became. I could spend the year chasing success in the corporate world and make more money. But it wouldn’t make me the man I want to be when I look back on my life.”

That’s when every fiber of my being whispered,
Yes.

Another said,
“If my teenager were struggling and needed help, and I knew there was a school that could give them a year of support and transformation, I would pay that tuition in a heartbeat. No hesitation. So why would I not invest that same care in my own growth? Why wait until everything falls apart? Why not evolve now and become the role model they need me to be?”

As a mom of teens… I’m holding that one.

There’s also been this quiet, tender fear I kept hearing,
a worry about not being able to keep up
about not being smart enough
about not being enough.

I know that fear well.

Most people don’t know this,
but I struggled to learn for years. 

I have a reading disability that made me feel ashamed growing up
like I just didn’t have the brain for real study.

It took me years to stop running from learning
and start rewriting the story.
To stop saying “I’m just not that kind of person”
and start asking, “What if I am?”

Now?
I crave learning.
I teach others how to find their spark, their zone of genius, their way in.
Because I believe when learning feels alive, it moves from the mind to the breath to the bones.

The other day, a friend from high school messaged me:
“I cannot believe this is what you are doing with your life. We never would have dreamed you would become… a teacher.”

She’s more right than she knows.
I was the kid who couldn’t read Hebrew. I still stutter when I try reading out loud. 
But in just a few days, I’ll be one of the featured speakers at a Siyum I never in a million years thought I was smart enough to achieve. 

And here is a wild and wonky brain thing for you:

Even though Hebrew was (still sometimes can be) a nightmare for me, I somehow read Russian fluently.

(Cannot speak or understand a word.
Got suspended from Russian class.
But 25 years later… I can still read it perfectly.)

The brain is a wonder.
It has the capacity for so much more than we know…. and sometimes without us even knowing.

So if you’re wondering, “Can I really do this?”
If you’ve told yourself, “I’m just not that kind of learner…”
I’m here to say: You don’t yet know what’s waiting to be awakened inside you.

Here's a truth.
My intention was to have everything Azamra related wrapped up before Pesach
To set the container, the energy, the “yes,” and to move forward with a group of people who were fully in.
And that has happened.

What I did not expect was how many people would suddenly feel the call,
but didn’t realize they’d need to make a decision and have their interview before the chag.
I’ve heard from more than a few people who are overwhelmed, stretched thin, and didn’t think they had to be ready… yet.

So I’m keeping the door open just a little longer.

If you’re feeling the pull, don’t wait.
Submit your application.
Schedule your interview.
Let yourself step in while there’s still room.

I don’t know who you’re becoming.
But I can feel the Future You cheering you on.

And also, if you want to jump on the learning bandwagon, 

Dance of the Omer by Benji Elson has been a game changer for me these last few years. I'm about to embark on my fifth round with this awesome book. I highly recommend! (He has a course on this content too!)

Yes, payment plans are available.
Investing in yourself is one of the most courageous choices you can make, and I want to help you do it. If your heart is saying yes but logistics feel like the hard part, reach out. We’ll find a way together.
