About
Prynadiyi began during pregnancy as a way of making sense of one of life’s biggest transitions. Over time, it grew into something larger.
The name reflects a dual meaning in Ukrainian: prynadiyi means both “pregnant” and “having hope.” It seemed fitting then, and it still does. Most of what interests me begins with human beings and the ways we grow, connect, belong, and make sense of the world around us.
Here, I write about parenting, psychology, relationships, culture, communication, ethics, migration, and other questions related to human behavior. Some articles are deeply personal, others are research-based, and many live somewhere in between.
I am Susanna, a Ukrainian writer, editor, and researcher with a background in intercultural studies. I am particularly interested in the intersection of personal experience and broader social questions: how culture shapes us, how we understand one another across differences, and what helps individuals, families, and communities thrive. Some of my other projects and areas of work can also be found on my portfolio website.
This is an independent, reader-supported project with no intrusive advertising or aggressive sales. The English version of the site was created to build cultural bridges between Ukraine and the wider world, sharing ideas, experiences, and conversations that might otherwise remain separated by language.
If something here resonates with you, I would love to hear from you.
