Deeply understanding your personal values and who you are at your core is one thing. Finding a country where those values align, and where you’re free to explore your authentic self, is a rare and powerful gift.
This week, we speak with Hawwa, who moved from the Maldives to Vancouver, Canada, just two years ago, and describes the experience as a leap of faith. A scholar with a background in sociology and education, Hawwa brings a thoughtful perspective on the emotional and psychological journey of migration.
Her story is one of courage, clarity, and inner alignment. It’s about leaving behind the expectations of her previous environment, and finding a new sense of self in a country that feels like home.
We talk about how migration can offer a rare opportunity to reset: not just to start over, but to start more truthfully. Hawwa shares the importance of knowing your values, resisting the pressure to conform — whether back home or in a new place — and trusting yourself enough to begin again.
