<![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">In this episode of Meaningful People, we sit down with Matty Stein as she shares her remarkable journey of growing up in a non-religious home, moving from place to place, and suddenly facing financial collapse that left her family homeless and living in dangerous neighborhoods. Through pain, confusion, and loss, Maddie discovered Judaism, community, and ultimately herself. Her story is raw, emotional, and deeply inspiring — a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a path to strength, faith, and hope.<br /> <br /> You can follow Matty on Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/mattysteinspeaks/">https://www.instagram.com/mattysteinspeaks/</a><br />  <br /> This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors:</p> <p dir="ltr">► Meaningful Minute Plus<br /> <br /></p> <p data-start="134" data-end="223"><strong data-start="134" data-end="164">On Meaningful Minute Plus:</strong><br data-start= "164" data-end="167" /> MM+ is where the full experience happens.
