Feeling upset about the global rise in antisemitism?
You're not alone!
Some of the world has shown its uglier side. It’s normal to feel anger, disbelief and sadness. But they don’t define us.
It’s time to own our story and reclaim our identity. We can face this challenge head-on, and emerge stronger than ever.
Introducing...
From Shock to Strength:
Discover Your Jewish Superpowers
The Challenge We’re Facing
Since October 7th, many of us have been caught in a storm of emotions and uncertainty. The world has changed, and so has our sense of security.
- Feeling overwhelmed by the constant barrage of news and social media?
- Stuggling to explain what’s happening to your children or non-Jewish friends and colleagues?
- Experiencing anxiety, anger or helplessness about rising antisemitsm?
- Questioning your connection to your Jewish identity?
Relying on organizations, professional leadership, educators and influencers for answers and direction may be helpful, but it can’t stop there.

You have something powerful within you — a spiritual and cultural inheritance built for times like this.

We need to be strong for ourselves, our children, and our community, as we face a world that sometimes seems to have forgotten its history lessons.
Meet Your Teacher
My name is Ilana Ivan, and since 2018 I’ve helped coaching clients discover their personal strengths and claim their authentic vision for a truly great life.
Armed with an MBA, diverse business experience and certifications in life coaching and positive psychology coaching, I teach the power of self-awareness, embracing truth, and taking action.
I created From Shock to Strength because like you, I was shaken by the events of October 7 and the aftermath.
This program can help you start to find your footing — as I had to do with myself and my family— and face the future with hope and resolve.
Like the superheroes in comics and movies, we have an origin story that gives us what I’m calling “Jewish superpowers.” (No, it’s not space lasers and controlling the weather - see under ‘antisemitism’).
You're likely already familiar with some of them, but becoming mindful of them and knowing how to leverage them can help you be proactive instead of reactive.
It's time for each of us to step up and own who we are.

Does This Sound Like You?

This Journey Might Not Be the Right Fit If…
- You're seeking a purely academic or historical approach

- You’re not currently open to self-reflection, growth, or exploring new perspectives
FAQs
These superpowers are inner resources, passed down through the generations, that anyone can tap into: the value of critical thinking (Using Our Brains), the legacy of survival and resilience (I Will Survive), the strength of community (We Are Family), the richness of heritage (Tradition, Tradition!), and divine connection (Master of the Universe). (And if you struggle with that last one, yes, you're in good company and in the right place)
Feeling overwhelmed is understandable. While this coaching course provides space to pause, learn, reflect, and find strength, it is NOT a substitute for counseling or therapy. If you feel you need help, please seek out a qualified and compassionate therapist, counselor, or other health care professional.
The course is around 45 minutes long.
If you print out the workbook and take time to answer the questions and prompts and take notes, that will add at least another 15-30 minutes depending on how 'deep' you want to go with your answers.
Then the bonus material includes over 2.5 hours of additional lessons and over 150 curated resources to explore and continue your Jewish journey after the course.
Absolutely! Whether you're looking to better understand your Jewish friends, family, colleagues or neighbors, or if you work in a Jewish organization or school, or if you're just interested, this course can help you understand the Jewish people better.
While it is presented from a Jewish point of view, for Jewish people in response to the trauma and challenges unleashed by and since the October 7th massacre, it can also help you appreciate your own identity through an empowering lens and will enable you to explore and apply these five superpowers for any challenges you may be currently facing
Once you enroll, you'll receive an email with details for accessing the course.
You will have to set up a password (I know, I know, how many passwords can one handle?) and will be able to login on any device, computer or phone.
You'll also receive a separate email to access the private podcast. This is a great way to review the material (especially the bonus videos) AFTER you've gone through the course.
It's easy to setup - just open the email, follow the directions to choose your favorite podcast player, and the private podcast will load automatically.
A private podcast is a way to listen to the audio version of the course, ready to inspire and uplift you on your daily walk or during your commute. Unlike a public podcast, it's a unique podcast link just for you (yup, you won't be able share your favorite lessons).
Now, why is this such a great bonus? Well, life gets busy, right? We can't always sit down with our notes and workbook. I recommend going through the course online first, but afterwards you can revisit lessons and bonus audios with the private podcast, anytime, anywhere.
It's about making your journey From Shock to Strength as flexible and accessible as possible.
I created this course with adults in mind, but teens or kids (you be the judge!) could take this course as well. They have these superpowers too, and the earlier they learn and live them, the stronger their Jewish identity can be.
One approach is to go through it yourself, and then watch it with a partner or as a family. The content and action steps can be starting points for some great conversations and brainstorming!
Yep! If you're with a school, religious organization, non-profit, business or any other organization that is interested in making this course available to your constituents, faculty or team members, or families, please reach out at jv[at]trulygreatlife.com to discuss.
I will be offering a generous affiliate program shortly - stay tuned! Want to be notified when it's ready? Drop me a line at info[at]trulygreatlife.com.
We deserve a future where our identity is celebrated.
