Description

Hi, I’m Simi. I thought I had a regular life, until I didn’t. At 31, my world shattered when my husband, the father of my children, died suddenly, leaving me with two little girls and a baby boy on the way. In the years that followed, I walked through widowhood, remarriage and divorce, soul-aching fear and loneliness, and the kind of breaking no one prepares for. It’s Not About Me is a solo, soul-led podcast about the raw truths we live and the guidebooks we become for each other by sharing honestly about being human. Season 1 begins here, and I hope you’ll come with me.

Ep. 4 : Elul; come as you are.

2026/08/20

I sat down with Ora Schwartz amid the hecticness of our kids’ back-to-school schedules to explore what Elul means to us, and how we find inspiration in this month, if we do at all, through the words that keep coming up for me: Come as you are. Can we allow Hashem to seep more deeply into the lives we’re already living? Can we cultivate a real friendship with Hashem and invite His presence into all the nooks and crannies: spiritually, emotionally, and in the very real, practical moments of our lives… including our kids coming in and out of the Zoom.

Ep. 3: She Was My First....

2026/05/31

After two solo episodes, Simi opens up the conversation by sharing the story she once felt most uncomfortable telling. In this deeply honest episode with her first guest, Chani Lisbon, she speaks about the past two years of living with a close friend after divorce and how what once felt shameful became one of the most transformative and supportive seasons of her life. A conversation about letting go of how we thought life was supposed to look, and learning how to live, accept, and thrive inside the life that actually is.

Ep. 1 : Driving Solo

2025/08/28

In the first episode of It’s Not About Me, I take you with me on a solo drive after Pesach, a drive that became a mirror of my own journey through grief, widowhood, single motherhood, divorce, and rediscovering myself. Driving Solo is about the silence, the surrender, and the surprising clarity that comes when you realize you’re the only one behind the wheel… and you decide to keep going.
