Leaving the Village
Breaking Free From Societal Expectations & Embracing Self-Care After 50 🛤💫
In this powerful episode of The Yaga Speaks, I talk about what it truly means to leave the village — both literally and mentally. Whether you're walking away from a place, a relationship, a societal role, or old expectations that no longer serve you, this journey is one of courage, clarity, and deep self-love.
After leaving the UK and moving to rural Bulgaria following the end of my marriage, I’ve come to understand the strength it takes to break free, especially as a woman over 50. Society often tries to box us in — telling us how we should look, live, behave, and serve — but when we choose our own path, it often upsets those around us.
This video is a heartfelt message to all women at a crossroads:
✨ You are not selfish for choosing yourself.
✨ You are not wrong for saying no.
✨ You are not alone in your desire to live freely and fully.
I also talk about the Sisters of Yaga membership — a supportive circle of mature women committed to self-growth, mindset work, and reclaiming joy and purpose in the second half of life. 🌿
💬 If you’ve ever felt trapped by societal expectations or afraid to start over, this episode is for you.
