My name is Haleli Smadar.
Seventeen years ago, I was living what people would call a “dream life.” I had a husband, 2 beautiful kids, a prestigious career as a journalist, a nice garden, 2 cars, and even a dishwasher.
Most would say that I had it all, that I should have been content.
But I constantly asked myself “Is that it?”, “Is this how I want to live the rest of my life?”.
“What’s wrong with me? I should be happy.”
I was stuck and didn’t know what to do. Every morning I’d wake up with nothing to look forward to, miserable and slowly suffocating. Whenever I thought about the future, I was filled with dread. But one day, reality hit me all at once…
I was sitting in my garden, relaxing, enjoying my coffee, and then I realized the truth.
