Building a Life from Scratch: Tania Kurteva’s Journey in Dubai | Anastasiia Solodovnyk

In this episode, I’m sitting down with someone very dear to my heart — Tania Kurteva. I’ve known Tania since the very beginning of her journey in Dubai, when she arrived from Moldova with big dreams and the courage to start from zero. Over the years, I’ve watched her grow step by step — with discipline, inner strength, and a beautiful heart — into the woman she is today. In our conversation, we talk openly about building a life abroad, navigating the early challenges of Dubai, and what it truly takes to grow into a strong, independent woman. Tania shares her personal experience of owning property in Dubai at just 28, working on self-esteem, healing emotional patterns, and learning to ask for more — in life and in relationships. This episode is about self-worth, resilience, inner growth, and becoming the woman you’re meant to be — especially if you’re building your life far from home. If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or questioned your value, this conversation will speak directly to your heart. 00:00 – Intro 01:55 – Why Dubai? 03:44 – What were your first years in Dubai like, and how did you start building your life here? 07:46 –What are you working on now, and what does your life look like today? 09:52 – You’re 28 and already own a property in Dubai — how did you achieve that, and what was the process like? 20:19 – What helps you stay strong when you feel upset or overwhelmed? 24:00 – What is the biggest lesson you learned about yourself this past year? 23:18 –How do you keep working on yourself and growing every year? 25:30 – What are you currently healing or transforming within yourself? 26:53 – Why do you think many women find it challenging to build relationships in Dubai? 30:40 - How did you build your career and client base in Dubai so quickly, even without support or connections? 34:11 - What advice would you give to a girl who just moved to Dubai? 36:44 - And finally — how can someone grow into the kind of strong, independent woman you’ve become?
