<p>I’m <a href="https://www.zevabellel.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zeva Bellel,</a> a certified career transformation coach for women. I’m based in Paris, France, but I hail from Brooklyn NY. Back in 1999 I left everything known and familiar to to me to follow my dream of one day becoming French. It was a wild decision that made no “logical” sense (especially if you asked my grandpa, Sol, who thought I was nuts).</p><br><p>Since then, in life, as well as in work, I’m fascinated by how we become the version of ourselves we’re meant to become. Especially when our paths are strewn with unexpected challenges, doubts as well as inexplicable urges and desires.</p><br><p>However, in a world obsessed with overnight success stories and fancy ribbon cuttings, we neglect the insights and learnings that emerge during the messy middle of the transformation process. The consequences are that we often believe transformation should be obvious, quick and pain-free, since we have few examples to guide us and inspire us forward.</p><br><p>That’s what <strong>On Becoming </strong>sets out to do—tell the true transformation stories of inspiring women entrepreneurs, creatives and innovators. Instead of merely focusing on where they are now, we’ll peel back the onion and take a lovingly honest look at their becoming journey.

#31: Are Families An Art Form? (Solo Episode)
<p>Hi, it’s Zeva—host of On Becoming and a native New Yorker turned Paris-based career coach for women navigating change and reinvention.</p><br><p>For this solo episode, I’m coming to you from upstate New York, where I’m wrapping up a month-long, multi-stop summer adventure that’s taken me from the sumptuous beaches of Hawaii to the buzzy freeways of LA, and finally into the quiet, meditative woods of the Catskills.</p><br><p>This extended pause has given me rare space and time to reflect on everything this season of On Becoming has offered so far. And in this solo episode, I’m doing what I love best: trying to unpack and connect the dots between the layers of wisdom shared by my brilliant guests and the conversations I’ve been having lately around midlife creativity.</p><br><p>This show was recorded without notes, without a script—and without any walls, actually. Just me, my mic, and my reflections from a screened-in porch in the woods.</p><br><p><strong>What’s mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>The unexpected link between family life and creativity that this long vacation revealed to me</li><li>A reflection on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/30-dr-galit-atlas-on-the-creativity-hidden-inside-our/id1689260929?i=1000716635917" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Galit Atlas</a> and emotional inheritance and how what we unconsciously carry shapes our daily lives</li><li>Revisiting <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/25-robinne-lee-on-erotic-intelligence-artistic-risk/id1689260929?i=1000705680464" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Robinne Lee</a> and the workshop I led with one of my besties, sex therapist Dr. Rachel Mark, about fantasy, desire, and how we unintentionally police both</li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/27-your-creativity-a-love-story-with-liz-kimball/id1689260929?i=1000710397731" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Liz Kimball </a>on why creativity is not a project but a relationship you nurture—and how midlife might be the best time to do it</li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/29-ana-tajder-on-the-lessons-our-mothers-never-said/id1689260929?i=1000714651922" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ana Tajder</a> on the creative chapters of a woman’s life, and why staying in touch with your curiosity matters</li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/28-making-the-most-of-the-creative-power-of/id1689260929?i=1000712566064" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mai Hua</a> on emotional fluency as a form of connection and creative power</li></ul><p><br></p><p>If any of these threads resonate, I’d love to hear from you.

#30: Dr. Galit Atlas on the Creativity Hidden Inside Our Emotional Inheritance
<p>There are things we inherit that are easy to name—eye color, recipes, family traditions. And then there are the things we inherit that no one talks about. The grief. The silence. The secrets. The patterns that show up in our relationships, our parenting, our choices, and our creativity, all without us fully understanding why. This is what <a href="https://www.galitatlas.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Dr. Galit Atlas</strong></a> calls emotional inheritance: the unconscious transmission of trauma, desire, and unspoken narratives across generations.</p><br><p><strong>About Dr Galit Atlas: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.galitatlas.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Atlas</a> is a clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and faculty member at NYU’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times and academic journals around the world. <a href="https://www.galitatlas.com/emotional-inheritance1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emotional Inheritance</a> has been translated into 27 languages and become an international bestseller—for good reason. It helps people name what they’ve never had language for.</p><br><p>I’ve been wanting to talk to her for years, but I reached out now because I’ve been sitting with this question in my own life and in the lives of the women I work with:</p><p>What’s the connection between emotional excavation and creativity? Especially at midlife, when we feel a pull to become more ourselves—but often bump up against everything that’s unfinished, unspoken, or inherited. Galit helped me name something I hadn’t fully seen before: that creativity isn’t about making something new out of nothing. It’s about making new connections. It’s the act of looking at our own story—especially the fragmented or incomplete parts—and asking: What else might be true?</p><br><p><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why what we don’t know about our family may shape us more than what we do</li><li>What makes a secret a secret—and why that distinction matters</li><li>Why therapy mirrors creativity, and how both restore the capacity to connect</li><li>Why midlife is a powerful portal for this kind of transformation</li><li>And how breaking unconscious emotional contracts can unlock new agency, clarity, and aliveness</li></ul><p><br></p><p>We also talk about Galit’s beautiful <a href="https://www.galitatlas.com/emotional-inheritance-workbook" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Emotional Inheritance Workbook</a>, a structured, compassionate, and profound tool for doing this work—alone or in partnership. I can’t recommend it enough! And Galit also give a sneak-preview of her next book, coming in 2027, which explores childhood wounds and adult love. </p><br><p><strong>Connect with Me:</strong></p><p>•Book a discovery call at <a href="http://www.zevabellel.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.zevabellel.com</a></p><p>•Subscribe to my Substack: <a href="https://onbecoming.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Becoming</a></p><p>•Email me: zeva@zevabellel.com</p><p>•Leave me a voice message on <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/onbecoming" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Speakpipe</a></p><br><p><strong>Credits: </strong>Artwork <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jessiekanelosweiner/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jessie Kanelos Weiner</a>; Editing <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewpjordan" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matthew Jordan</a>; Music © Fabrice Fortin</p><p>P.S.
