19: Soul Construction With Ruchi Koval

We’re all under construction, aren’t we? In this episode, we talk with Ruchi Koval, author Soul Construction: Shape Your Character Using 8 Steps From the Timeless Jewish Practice of Mussar. Her book delves into 8 key traits from mussar teachings, but it really reads like a self-help book as well as a memoir because Ruchi shares parts of her life throughout the book. We give you a behind-the-scenes look into her book through our conversation.

In this episode we discuss:

• How Ruchi’s book is helpful for normal frum women like ourselves, even though it's geared towards a non-religious (and even non-Jewish) audience.
• Which trait comes easiest to Ruchi, and which trait comes hardest
• What personal stories to keep and which to keep private when writing a book and being in the public eye
• The area of self-development that frum women generally struggle with the most

We’d love to hear from you. You can find us on social media, or email us at normalfrumwomen@gmail.com.
