This episode is a little different: we talk more than we usually do, about our inner lives, about consciousness and emotions… about gender and philosophy and poetry… with a guest who started out studying internal medicine, and then took turn after turn through psychiatry and psychoanalysis, feminist philosophy and more.
In this conversation, we cover such far-ranging topics as: circumcision, menopause, and living abroad with Hebrew speaking kids.
As a special treat – we even get a chance to hear some of Yael's poetry.
