Raising kids in a culture that are not their "native" culture can be daunting and bewildering. Yarona talks with Ilona about being raised in a culture quite foreign to that in the U.S. and raising her kids a U.S. culture quite foreign to her native Armenian culture.

TEDx Speaker, Author, and Coach, Ilona Parunakova is a motivational force in personal development. A Confident Leadership expert, she sparks global empowerment with resilience from her Armenian Genocide survivor heritage. Breaking barriers in a male-dominated field, she mentored 1500 TEDx speakers and influenced positive change even in the Presidential Residency. Featured on Fox, NBC, and Forbes, her impact extends through mediation, fundraising, and advocacy. Fluent in five languages, a Marathon and Triathlon medalist, she boldly declares herself as God's Masterpiece, with God as her life's CEO.
