My journey really began at 25, when I made the life-changing decision to move to Israel, starting over entirely. I had to face the challenge of learning a new language and adapting to a culture and values vastly different from those I grew up with. Looking back, I can see the strength and resilience it took, although I wasn’t fully aware of it at the time. But years later, I realized that this was the moment where the seeds of adaptability, courage, and perseverance were first planted within me.

In time, the gap between who I was and the roles I was expected to play became more evident. And one morning, at 45, I found myself looking in the mirror and feeling deeply disconnected from my life. I was carrying so much from my past—old beliefs, heavy expectations—and wore so many masks to fit into the roles I thought I needed to fulfill. This was my breaking point, the moment I knew a change was coming.
