49: Yana’s Journey of Joy, Dance, and New Beginnings

Yana shares her unexpected journey from Ukraine to Windsor, Canada. What began as a short trip for a cousin’s wedding turned into a permanent life shift due to the outbreak of war. Yana opens up about adjusting to a new country, building a life in Windsor, and finding community through dance. She reflects on how surrendering to life’s flow—paired with a deep love of joy, spirituality, and movement—led her to meet her husband, co-organize Kizomba events, and even launch a YouTube comedy channel called Wife vs. World. Her story is one of resilience, creativity, and contagious enthusiasm for life.
