How deep trauma has shaped a Swedish woman's business on a tropical island in Thailand
Meet Sandra, the 48 years old woman from Sweden, moved to Thailand 2 years ago with her husband and son, to open a business centered around health; yoga, ice bathes, trauma healing and more.
We are talking to her today about why she is fed up with Sweden, how she was able to continue with her business even after losing tons of money and about why the 2004 tzunami was such a life-changing moment in her life.

Old people dont get any support from the givernment. Shopping malls and chicken farm condos with nice facilities and 22sqm rooms do not make a country first world. 11 Years in thaioand without rose colored glasses.

    My initial reaction was ‘oh no she’s interviewing another RUclipsr…’ and I felt disappointed ☹️ even though Ryan is one of 2/3 guy channels that I continue to follow (I checked out dozens more and most were simply just horrible in terms of values and beliefs and attitudes etc). Ryan’s small section in your blog was ok though… just right in fact. I also follow Robb Reset, an interesting thoughtful American guy living in a rural village up North. He talks a lot about culture/language/personal stuff.

Progress is very slow and it’s hard to recall the words… but I’ll persevere. I started to learn Saxophone 4 years ago during Covid, also sight reading so I’ve learnt if I do 30 minutes each day I can learn very slowly.

    You’re both in the highly productive stage of your life with small children and yes it’s exhausting, which is why it’s good that you’re young and have the energy. Burn Out is something very serious though…. it’s beyond feeling exhausted and low. You simply needed a rest. I’m watching over a year later.. so I’ll be interested to see what you did next. Young children are very tiring so don’t underestimate the emotional work you do minute by minute focussed on their needs. Best wishes from England.
