She shares raw stories from her childhood and career, inserting herself into the entertainment industry as a child, navigating harsh criticism, and discovering her voice through it all.

The conversation also touches on self-worth, manifestation, mental strength, and the importance of having a North Star.  Follow Eden: https://www.instagram.com/golaneden/  https://www.tiktok.com/@golaneden_music  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeEZTREqOHoMOJliA81k8Lg  Stream Wait for You: https://bit.ly/3Rh2hH9  Shop my look from this episode: https://shopmy.us/collections/1485666  Follow me: https://www.instagram.com/valerialipovetsky/  What we talked about: 01:07 Early Life and Moving to Russia 01:50 Journey into Music and Early Challenges 03:10 Bullying and Overcoming Adversity 08:22 Lessons Learned and Personal Growth 23:03 Pursuing Music in Israel 29:42 Finding Purpose Through Music 29:59 Facing Fear and Responsibility 31:37 The Intensity of Eurovision 34:13 Security Measures and Isolation 40:39 Performing Under Pressure 43:54 Post-Performance Reflections 51:49 Self-Love and Acceptance 57:46 Manifestation and Future Goals 01:02:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.
