In this episode, you’ll learn how to reframe your story, why embracing uncertainty opens new possibilities, and the power of expressing what people mean to you while you still can.

Oleg Lougheed’s story began in Russia, marked by adversity at home and the uncertainty of his childhood. At just nine years old, he relinquished his parents’ rights and entered a local orphanage, beginning a journey defined by resilience, courageous choices, and a commitment to rewriting his narrative.

Oleg is the founder of Overcoming Odds and Moments Worth Remembering, where he reminds us that our stories, and the people in them, are worth honoring while we are still here.
