LEARNING TO FLY - The Courage to Go It Alone

  • Goodbye to toxic relationships – about the courage to break free and find happiness.
  • Every woman can take her life into her own hands - and Sophia Haberkorn shows you how!

Influencer and podcaster Sophia Haberkorn shares her honest thoughts, feelings, and her path to a self-determined life - without men and without limits.

Because women can navigate life alone, whether in everyday life, while traveling, or when making important decisions - Sophia Haberkorn wrote this book to encourage her generation. She shows that women are allowed to live their lives by their own rules, far removed from parents, social media, partners, and society. She takes her readers on her personal journey of self-discovery and describes the highs and lows of her life with empathy and entertainment - numerous young people will recognize themselves in her thoughts, worries, and distress.

Sophia found the courage to move to Portugal in 2022. She describes, in an empowering and eye-opening way, how she mustered that courage after a difficult separation, a toxic relationship, a long trip through the US, and mediocre side jobs in Germany. She shows women that living alone, traveling alone, and standing up for oneself are not as difficult as one might sometimes think.
