#4 Unlearning who I was told to be - An Armenian Women Carving her own Path

"I am not asking for permission. I am informing you."Imagine standing in your family’s kitchen, looking into your dad’s eyes, and realizing that this single sentence will change the trajectory of your life forever. In this moment Syuzanna took a step off the path that had been pre-written for her since birth. I first met Syuzanna as my passionate tour guide, she showed me her beautiful home country Armenia. A thriving woman, multi-linguist, passionate advocate of women empowerment, youth education and peace building. One day, she shared her origin story with the group. It was one of those moments that left everybody speechless, and in awe. None of us had imagined that. Growing up in a traditional society in a village in rural Armenia, Syuzanna made the courageous choice to leave everything behind. At 24, she moved to Germany entirely on her own: no scholarship, no family system, just an impressive determination to own her future.In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of carving your own path when the world expects you to follow another. We explore:Tradition vs. Autonomy: The weight of unwritten rules and the moment Syuzanna decided she would no longer "obey" without question.The Courage of Informing: Why she chose to inform rather than ask for permission, and how her father’s silent support surprised her.The Process of Unlearning: How moving to a new culture forces you to shed the identity others gave you to find who you truly have been all along.A Legacy of Change: How one woman’s decision to move abroad shifted the mindset of her entire family back home.A conversation about the hunger for exploration, the grit it takes to rebuild in a foreign country, and the beauty of becoming the person you were always meant to be. ♥️@syu7ana⁠⁠@janina.offshegoes⁠https://ariexplorearmenia.com/en/
