I’m Zeva Bellel, 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).
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.
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.
That’s what On Becoming 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. We’ll hear about how they made difficult decisions in the pursuit of deep self-expression and fulfilment, especially when they wandered off course and deviated from the classic path. Listen to find out how their hidden journeys can help unlock your own potential.

Hi, it’s Zeva—host of On Becoming and a native New Yorker turned Paris-based career coach for women navigating change and reinvention.
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.
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.
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.
What’s mentioned in this episode:
If any of these threads resonate, I’d love to hear from you. And if you’re catching up on the season, consider this your perfect summer reminder.
