My Story
I am Ortal Hoffman, and my story is at the heart of Big Dream Coaching – a home for women with big dreams.
For years, I was one of them.
I felt that inner fire.
and I didn’t just dream, I made things happen.
A career, A relationship, A home. children.
Dreams turned into reality; a bachelor’s degree in art and a master’s in special education, and years of studying languages, dance, and singing.
But life, as it does, didn’t move in a straight line. Work, family, relocation, constant adjustment… and with becoming more religious, questions began to rise.
Questions about faith, about structure-and a quiet inner voice whispering that something no longer felt the same.
For years I pushed aside a deeper calling—not because I didn’t want it, but because I didn’t see how it fit into the life I had already built.
Many women walk around for years with a feeling of deep, intense, burning inner fire.
This fire contains their outstanding talent, the unique gift they received from the Creator on the day they were born—a gift that has the power to light up their home, their family, their immediate surroundings, and perhaps even the entire world.
Often this fire burns as a steady but hidden flame, tucked away in the vessels. It waits patiently, longing for the moment when it can burst forth.
These women carry within them a hidden promise—a dance they haven’t danced, a song they haven’t sung, a sentence they haven’t spoken aloud, an idea they’ve never shared.
Rabbi Kook once wrote
"Every person must know and understand that within them burns a candle - and that their candle is not like the candle of another...
each must uncover their light and turn it into a great torch to illuminate the world."
