Israeli Actress Anat Waxman Announces Unexpected Career Shift to Coaching Actors

Anat Waxman, a well-known Israeli actress famous for her role as Dafna in the comedy series 'Life Is Not Everything,' has revealed a surprising new direction in her career. In a video posted on her Instagram account on Tuesday, Waxman announced that she will begin offering coaching to aspiring actors preparing for auditions at drama schools or those seeking guidance. "I decided to teach anyone who wants and needs help with auditions or guidance, I would be very happy. Contact me, it will be fun," she said.

The announcement was met with warm responses from her followers, who praised her talent and wished her success. Waxman’s decision comes after a challenging period in her personal life. In 2025, she experienced a significant personal crisis, including a deep depression that lasted about two and a half years. She openly discussed her struggles and feelings of helplessness with the psychiatric system in a podcast interview titled "From the Break."

Having kept a low profile during her recovery, Waxman now appears to have overcome these difficulties and is embarking on a new, optimistic chapter in her professional life. Her move into coaching marks a notable shift from acting to mentoring the next generation of performers.
