Michal Peilan, the respected welfare reporter for Channel 12 news who is accustomed to conveying complex social issues and difficult news to viewers, has decided to open a rare window into her personal life. On the occasion of turning 40, celebrated simultaneously with the start of the new year, Peilan shared an intimate family photo where she is documented closing her eyes and making a wish in front of the cake candles, surrounded by her three children. The moving post did not focus solely on standard birthday celebrations, but also served as a platform to expose a deep personal crisis the journalist experienced in the past. Looking back, Peilan shared with her followers the agony that accompanied her 30th birthday, against the background of her prolonged and painful struggle to start a family.

She concluded her story with an optimistic message illustrating the huge change she underwent over the past decade: "And here I am starting a new decade surrounded by three sweet little nestlings who make me a better woman anew every day."
