Content creator and former "The Race to Million" contestant Anael Shmueli has begun taking surfing lessons, a step she delayed for years due to the possibility of pregnancy. Shmueli, a mother of four, shared on Instagram that she often forewent desired activities, telling followers, "I haven't done so many things in my life because of the thought 'maybe I'll be pregnant.'" She explained that sometimes she was pregnant and missed out, while other times she preemptively stopped herself, anticipating an upcoming pregnancy. She described this feeling as "my life on hold," adding it took her "5 years of anticipation and disappointment" to understand and change this pattern.

Despite lingering doubts and the approaching winter, Shmueli decided to pursue surfing. She posted a photo of herself with a surfboard on the sand, announcing, "From here to there your sister started learning to surf!!!!" She acknowledged her mind's resistance, noting "all the most justified reasons why not to start" and the inner voice saying, "Leave it." However, this time, alongside the reasons to postpone, she added the word "I started" to her photo, signifying her decision to move forward with her aspirations.
