The Hardest Decision She Ever Made (aka Zeva's Becoming Story)

The Hardest Decision She Ever Made (aka Zeva's Becoming Story)

Are we wired for the paths we choose? Or does each micro decision we make inform our future experiences?

These questions drive every episode in this podcast. And this unexpected solo show is no exception!

With her mic set up. The house empty and quiet. On Becoming host, Zeva Bellel, found herself guest-less after a last minute cancellation.

Instead of packing up her equipment and calling it a day. She look a deep breath, and decided to share her personal becoming story, starting with her early life in Brooklyn, her exposure to French language and culture, her first visits to Paris, and her subsequent decision to move and live there indefinitely.

From New York to France, she explores the essence of destiny and autonomy that shapes our experiences, including:

• How music plays a role in language affinity

• The dilemma of choosing the right path when you don't want to hurt the ones you love

• The familiar tug-and-pull between fate and free-will

• How venturing into unfamiliar territories, be it places or experiences, can make you feel more yourself

The overall episode digs into the themes of intuition, longing, loss, and the daunting feeling of limitless freedom.
