Nadi Petrova

Born and raised in Russia. Happily married for over 25 years, mother of three sons.

By the age of 45, I had achieved everything I once dreamed of — a family, a home, a life full of travels. The business my husband and I built together made our life bright and full of possibilities, but after 17 years of success it also led to burnout and rethinking what truly matters.

We left everything behind — our house, cars, business — and flew to Asia. After months of wandering, we settled on the island of Bali, where we still live.

That’s where my transformation began. I’m no longer a businesswoman always in control. I’m a woman who allows herself to slow down, to be soft. And you know what? It feels wonderful — not to save the world, but simply to live in it.

I’m happy. I believe that only love makes life real. I don’t envy, don’t judge, don’t expect anything from anyone. I’m not perfect — and thank God for that!
