Through her journey, Perla offers powerful lessons on coping with loss, navigating life after tragedy, and finding hope in the darkest of times.

This candid conversation is more than a personal account, it is a message every parent, guardian, and loved one needs to hear. From water safety awareness to the emotional reality of grief, Perla's words provide comfort, perspective, and a reminder to cherish every moment with those we love. If you or someone you know has experienced loss, this story may offer a sense of connection and understanding. Watch now for a moving, unforgettable reminder about the fragility of life and the strength of the human spirit.

Today, Perla honors Moussia's memory through her children's book It's Not Over When We Say Goodbye and her work with Team Protect, raising awareness to help prevent similar tragedies.

Every week, Nachi and Momo sit down for a conversation that feels more like a discovery than an interview. Their Meaningful People podcast explores the journeys of fascinating individuals from across the Jewish world, though you don't need to be Jewish to find their stories compelling.

Each episode delves into the personal turning points, challenges, and inspirations that shaped them, moving beyond public personas to reveal the real human experience behind them. You’ll hear conversations that are as likely to be funny and lighthearted as they are profound and reflective, offering a genuine sense of connection. This isn't about abstract ideas, but about the lived wisdom that comes from a life examined. Tune in for a weekly dose of perspective that feels both uplifting and grounding, a reminder of the diverse paths that lead to a meaningful life. From Meaningful Minute, this podcast sits at the unique intersection of spirituality, self-improvement, and education, all through the power of personal narrative.
