In this episode, I’m joined by Katanya Timinsky — TEDx speaker, international photographer, and Creative & Content Specialist at Business in Edmonton Magazine — for a powerful conversation on resilience, reinvention, and reclaiming your life on your own terms.
We dive into the stories of women and children in Ukraine and the quiet strength they show amidst unimaginable challenges — but we also talk about Katanya’s personal journey of resilience. She opens up about leaving the Jehovah’s Witness church when she was younger, the loss of community that came with that decision, and what it took to rebuild her life from the ground up.
This episode is an honest, inspiring look at what it means to create a life that’s yours — even when the road to get there is anything but easy.
If you’ve ever had to start over, navigate uncertainty, or find yourself after feeling lost — this conversation is for you.
