I started to realize in that moment how much of overcoming as a process is not about eliminating or mastering or conquering, but simply developing a different relationship, developing a different narrative with the topic at hand.
Imagine growing up in a place where neglect and abuse are the norms. That's the childhood Oleg Lougheed faced in a Russian orphanage. But his story doesn't end there. Adopted by an American family at twelve, Oleg transformed his life and now helps others do the same through his non-profit, Overcoming Odds. This episode of 'Overcome with Justin Wren' dives deep into Oleg's incredible journey from trauma to triumph.
He talks about the hurdles of international adoption and the importance of communication, forgiveness, and radical honesty in healing. Oleg's story is not just about survival; it's about using his experiences to create meaningful change for others. His nonprofit focuses on bridging gaps for children and families involved in international adoptions, providing them with the tools they need for successful transitions.
By sharing his own story, Oleg opens up a space for transformational conversations that allow people to feel seen and heard. This episode will leave you inspired and hopeful, showcasing the power of resilience and gratitude.
