       My time with Leap Forward felt like Olympic level training and intensity for personal growth and transformation, and the results within an accelerated timeline show its impact.   Working with the community showed me where the true blocks to bringing the vision in my heart to life actually were (and are, as this is a life-long journey). 

       When I met Ronit in 2017, I was trying so hard, working so hard toward what would make me happy, as best I could.  I look back on past-Anna with such compassion for how sincerely she was trying to improve her life, live authentically, work toward her dreams of a fulfilling career and healthy intimate relationship, and yet, I was completely blind to what really stood in my way.  Therefore, I had no real means or capabilities to achieve what I hoped.  And I could somehow sense that futility, that frustration, of effort not leading to satisfaction.  I was completely blind to my depth of fear of intimacy and connection, most apparent in my personal romantic life but also with my friends and family.  I lacked healthy reciprocal relationships and confidence in intimacy, though you could never have convinced me of this. 

       It was as if my development was thwarted around middle school age for connecting with people on a sincere, deep level.  However, I saw myself as a pillar of courage, confidence, and competence, and thus I was about to fight tooth and nail to admit this area of ‘weakness’ or vulnerability.  This fraudulent confidence also appeared in my career, where I felt a conflicting duality of passion/ambition and resentment/inferiority complex that no one really ‘gets’ my value. 

       The Leap Forward Community gave me the resilience, tenacity, strength and objectivity to question my feelings at a superficial level, and to listen through them to the real wisdom they are conveying.  Part of that process was learning to tune into both masculine (drive, courage, clarity) and feminine (warmth, patience, intuition) frequencies inside of me–in both their mature/healthy expressions and immature/destructive manifestations.  Ronit modeled both the masculine and feminine, so fluidly, situation by situation, in a way I had never seen before, let alone within a woman.  It was a bewildering and intimidating breadth of frequencies at first, before I learned to see, accept, touch and express those areas within myself. 

       Overall, Leap Forward helped me more accurately and objectively, with loving acceptance, really see myself.  Not who I thought I was, but the intricacies and edges of who I actually am, in any given moment and life stage.  With calm acceptance to see my strengths and limitations.  In reality, this is a life-long dynamic pursuit, but my years with Leap Forward were an accelerant and a compass to navigate that which I was groping in the blind.  All empowerment, learning, and designing my life and my relationships begin with seeing where I am, objectively.  In the subsequent years, I changed my career, became self-employed, increased my income, rebuilt relationships with my family, overhauled my friendships and professional network, and lost 15 lbs effortlessly, to name a few.

       And to learn all this, in a container with a diverse cross-section of the global community, people from all walks of life, ages, religions, economic strata, races…there’s an empathy and compassion, and in some cases an xray vision to see through the facade, for what it is to be human.  And ultimately, to connect–what I feared and desired from the start.
