What happens when the woman who appears to “have it all” pulls back the curtain and shares her failures, talks openly about mental health, and dispels the myth that women can have it all?

Meet Roxana Eli: accomplished litigation attorney, devoted mother of two, and the first female elected president in Sephardic Temple's 100-year history. In this raw conversation, Roxana pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to break barriers while staying true to yourself.

In this episode:

• Failing the bar exam
• Why "balance" is a myth for working mothers
• Making history at Sephardic Temple
• The panic attack that changed everything
• Being open about therapy and medication
• Missing her daughter's school event and breaking down
• Why asking for help is a superpower
• Mom guilt and how to handle it
• The power of saying no
• Why hiring help isn't shameful
• Being the only woman in the boardroom
• Mental health in our community

This conversation is about more than success. It's about the messy, beautiful journey of becoming who you're meant to be.
