Lately, in conversations with some friends, I’ve been sensing something that’s hard to put into words. On the surface, life keeps going - work, kids, routines. But underneath, something feels… off. There’s a kind of quiet heaviness. Not depression, not even something you can clearly point to… just a feeling of being drained. Less energy, less spark. Like the emotional batteries are running low. And the thing is - this isn’t just them. There’s actually a name for this state. I

A fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, tension in the body, a surge of energy you can’t quite contain. What would you call that? Stress? Anxiety? Fear? Maybe even a sign that something is wrong? Not always. I felt all of this at one of the most meaningful moments of my career - standing in the middle of The Happiness Experience , a day I had envisioned and brought to life. From the moment I initiated this event, something felt clear, aligned, certain. And when the day unfolde

Do you also feel like everyone around you is sick right now? This time of year, viruses seem to be everywhere. One meeting, one hug, one shared cup - and suddenly you’re down with something. But here’s something fascinating: whether you actually get sick may not depend only on the virus. In a well-known study published in JAMA in 1997, researchers exposed healthy volunteers to a cold virus and then monitored who developed symptoms. Not everyone did. One of the strongest pre

How often do you allow yourself to look a little silly, goof around, and do something purely joyful - forgetting the rest of the world for a moment? For many of us, those moments are rarer than we’d like to admit. Somewhere between responsibilities, expectations, and being “a grown-up,” playfulness tends to slip quietly off the list. Not because we don’t enjoy it - but because we don’t see it as essential. I know how powerful those moments can be. I love them deeply, and many

A new year often begins with new goals. But have you ever paused to ask yourself: What are those goals really for? We are constantly encouraged to chase goals, yet rarely pause to reflect on a deeper question: Are your goals serving you, or are you serving your goals? In other words - what is the meaning behind them? Will they bring you joy, fulfillment, or a sense of purpose? Recently, I had a conversation with a client about purpose. Does it have to be something big? Global

Last week, I listened to a podcast that really resonated with me. It was about people-pleasing - something I used to consider as a skill, like being “overly nice” or overly accommodating to others. This podcast opened my eyes and expanded my awareness on different tendencies and behaviors I’ve had since childhood. Some of them I valued, such as the ability to blend in easily in a new environment, or my aspiration to always create harmony around me, and some I was actively tr

The Planetherapy bracelets we handed out A few days ago, I returned from a deeply meaningful visit to Israel, where I had the privilege of joining an international delegation of therapists organized by Planetherapy , a nonprofit offering free online emotional support worldwide to those affected by the October 7th events. We spent an entire week touring the country, meeting people who were deeply affected by the events of that day — listening to their stories, learning about t
