Tali Eliany Ever since I can remember, I was opinionated and independent. I always knew how to pursue my desires, following my own path with deep conviction, excited to embark on real life… until I got married at the age of 23. Very quickly, life sucked me in—I committed to an apartment, got pregnant, and, without even realizing it, I became the little woman who worried about pleasing her husband, taking care of her child, managing the house, cooking, cleaning, educating. My sense of personal ability plummeted. I lost myself—forgot the things I was strong at, the ambitions I once had, and the dreams I had as a child. Over time, negative emotions and gray thoughts surfaced and resurfaced every...
Dana Volkov For years, I hated what I saw in the mirror—not only my outer appearance, but also what I felt inside. Instead of being my own best friend, I became my own worst enemy. I judged myself, I was angry, I hated, I was never satisfied, and I was always trying to be someone else—someone I was not. The world of fitness and nutrition had always been an integral part of my life. It began with my childhood as an athlete and later turned into an obsession and an unusual disorder. At a certain point, all I cared about was how my body looked and how thin I was—and, of course, I was never satisfied. I wanted to lose...
Chani Vaknin A young woman, just 21 years old—married, holding a baby in her arms, and expecting another. Relocating to another country for the sake of a cause. Overwhelming loneliness. I did not speak the language, yet my speech was always my greatest strength. My husband had to be everything—mother, friend, psychologist, neighbor, and more. During this time, I felt very alone—a woman living in the shadow of her husband, burdened with expectations and disappointments. I faced countless personal struggles, both within myself and in the world around me. Back then, there was little awareness of seeking external help—a mentor, therapist, or psychologist was not an option. And then came the breaking point—a major health crisis. Cancer. A young woman...
Liat Shpiegel In one of my sessions with a client, she asked me how I manage to see things in such a positive way. It was a question she threw out "by the way," but for me, it was something really big—it reflected how far I had come. You have to understand that I was always one of those people who saw the glass half empty, thinking that if something could go wrong, it would go wrong for me. I had a pretty victim-like mindset, always feeling like "life is happening to me" and that things always go wrong for me. So, to reach a point where someone else asks me how I manage to see things positively—that’s a huge...
Danielle Jones My journey to self-love, strength, and power wasn’t easy. For years, I battled depression, feelings of inadequacy, and moments of overwhelming darkness. Grief and family dysfunction made it even harder, as I tried to process the loss of my father while navigating tense relationships. I felt lost, broken, and like the weight of the world was crushing me. I thought silence would protect me, but it only kept me trapped. It wasn’t until I began to face my struggles head-on and shared my truth that I started to feel lighter. In opening up, I discovered the power of vulnerability. Letting go of the shame and fear of judgment allowed me to reclaim control over my mind and my...
