Batya Sherizen shares her transformative journey from a driven
and overwhelmed entrepreneur to a fulfilled and present mother,
wife, and businesswoman. Batya recounts her life, from her early
marriage and 10 years in Israel to her thriving business as a child
sleep consultant, which she ran while her husband was in Kollel. A
life-threatening pregnancy complication led to a near-death
experience, altering her perspective profoundly. She discusses the
emotional and physical toll of balancing career and family, the
evolution of her relationship with her husband, and the importance
of being present in relationships. Her book, 'Dying to Be Me,' encapsulates this
metamorphosis, emphasizing the importance of presence and
connection over professional success. Batya also touches on the
pressures individuals face, the importance of self-awareness, and
the need for kindness in understanding others’ unseen
struggles.
