Fake It Until You Become It

Growth doesn't always begin with inspiration. Sometimes it begins with action. During the Three Weeks, we're given a unique opportunity to become closer to Hashem—but many of us feel stuck. We want to grow, yet our emotions don't always cooperate. In this episode, Charlie shares a powerful teaching from the Ramchal and Rabbi Levi about the Torah's version of 'fake it until you make it.' When your actions move before your feelings, you're not being a hypocrite—you’re building the person you want to become. Discover: Why 'fake it until you make it' is rooted in Torah The difference between pretending for people and changing for Hashem How outward actions reshape your inner world Why humility—not perfection—is the key to spiritual growth A practical mindset to help you grow during the Three Weeks and beyond You don't have to wait until you feel ready. Sometimes the first step toward becoming someone new is acting like that person today. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
