A Near-Death Perspective and Role Reversal - with Batya Sherizen
Update: 2025-06-04
Description
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.
