Tasha Cohen made Aliyah from London in 2012.
She has a strong background in entrepreneurship and operations management, having led multiple startups across various industries.
For over twenty years, she has also been deeply committed to mind, body, and soul healing - a passion that took on new urgency after October 7.
Understanding firsthand the physical and emotional toll of trauma, Tasha immediately took action.
What started as transporting soldiers and supplies to bases quickly revealed a deeper need: physical and emotional support to IDF soldiers.
In response, she founded Chayal’s Angels, a grassroots initiative that became an official nonprofit in April 2024.
The episode delves into Tasha's personal journey, discussing her struggles with mental health, chronic pain, and her path to spiritual and physical resilience.
Tasha shares her upbringing, her relationship with Judaism, and her evolution to integrate unconventional practices like tattoos into her spiritual life.
She also discusses her various career paths, passion for childcare, and the importance of a balanced life that focuses on mind, body, and soul.
