The Woman Behind the Rituals
“I woke up one day and realised I had created a life I didn’t want.
And I decided: I won’t waste another moment.”
Hi, I’m Yana Yaneva—behavioural psychologist, Chair of the British Psychological Society (Scotland), and founder of Pandora Soul.
But titles aside, I’m a woman who’s been heartbroken. Burnt out. Trapped in a job that dimmed my light.
I’ve lived through the chaos and fog. And I’ve rebuilt myself with every page I wrote, every pattern I observed, and every small ritual that helped me remember who I was.
Pandora Soul wasn’t created in a boardroom.
It was born at my kitchen table, with a journal, a candle, and a promise to myself: To stop performing and start living.
I’ve been obsessed with psychology since I was 13.
I hold a degree in Behavioural Psychology and I’ve read hundreds of books, tested every technique on myself, and built a body of work grounded in science and soul.
What I teach, I’ve lived.
What I create, I use.
And what I offer, I’ve needed.
WHY I BUILT THIS
Most of what’s out there is either too expensive, too shallow, or too disconnected from real life.
People have kids. Jobs. Laundry. Anxiety.
They don’t need another luxury box or coaching program that forgets what it’s like to just get through the day.
So I created Pandora Soul to meet people where they are.
With digital tools for the quiet moments.
With ritual boxes that feel sacred, not superficial.
With a 90-day program for those ready to change everything.
Whether you start small or dive deep, you’re always welcome here.
This is work that evolves as you do. Because you are not static—and neither is this.
IF YOU’RE STILL READING…
Then maybe you’re where I once was:
Looking for something softer, deeper, and real.
A new beginning that starts not with hustle—but with presence.
You don’t need fixing.
You need a pause. A mirror. A moment to come home.
Let’s begin.
