Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Olga Avezbakiev. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Olga thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.

It all began during the tumultuous times of the pandemic when uncertainty seemed to grip the world. It was in the midst of this chaos that I found the courage to take a leap that would eventually redefine my success and personal fulfillment.

The turning point came when I decided to step outside my comfort zone and start growing my social media accounts. It wasn’t an easy decision. But something inside me shifted, and I realized it was time to break free.

I made a conscious choice to stop caring about what people thought of me. Instead, I focused on doing things that I genuinely loved and enjoyed. I embarked on a journey of authenticity, sharing my passions, interests, and creativity without holding back. It was liberating to let go of the fear of criticism and embrace my true self.

As I began to post content that reflected my genuine interests and passions, I was pleasantly surprised by the response. People resonated with my authenticity. My online presence grew, and my social media career began to take off. It was a remarkable feeling to witness the positive impact that embracing my true self had on myself and my audience.

Through this journey, I learned that taking risks can lead to remarkable growth. By shedding the weight of others’ opinions and embracing my own authenticity, I was able to connect with an audience that appreciated my genuine expression. My social media following expanded, and I became an inspiration to others who were seeking the courage to be themselves unapologetically.

Looking back, I am grateful for the risks I took. They opened doors I never thought possible. My story is a reminder that being true to oneself and embracing authenticity can lead to incredible transformations. I am living proof that when you let go of fear and follow your passions, remarkable things can happen.

Olga, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

In the beautiful journey of my life, I’ve learned that being a believer is a true treasure. No matter what obstacles come my way, I’ve held onto my faith in myself. Even when life gets tough, I’ve never given up on who I am and what I can achieve. I’ve learned not to pay attention to those who doubt me or say my dreams are too big.

Staying true to myself has been my guiding principle. I’ve embraced my passions and followed my heart, regardless of what others think. It’s been liberating to just be me and do things that bring me joy and fulfillment.

So, if you’re reading this, remember that being a believer is your superpower too. Don’t let anyone’s opinions hold you back. Embrace your uniqueness and pursue your dreams with all your heart. Keep learning, keep growing, and believe in yourself always. Your story is yours to create, and it’s worth every step of the way.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

My life’s journey has been a testament to resilience, and looking back, I see how far I’ve come. Back in 1994, I left behind my home in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and ventured to the United States. It wasn’t an easy transition, but I knew I had to overcome every obstacle that came my way. Leaving behind the changes and aftermath of the USSR’s fall, I embraced a new life in a new country. Adapting to a different culture, language, and lifestyle wasn’t a walk in the park. I vividly remember my arrival in the US—without a grasp of the English language and without much in terms of material possessions. The initial challenges seemed overwhelming, but I didn’t back down. I forged ahead with sheer determination, motivated to build a future for myself. Those early days were tough. The unkindness I encountered from others due to my circumstances taught me a powerful lesson in empathy and kindness. It also shaped my perspective on money and the value of things in life. The experiences I’ve had only fueled my drive to keep improving myself. Every obstacle was an opportunity for growth. It’s true, that I’ve had to work harder than most, but that’s what has molded me into who I am today. Looking back, I see that those challenges taught me to value kindness above all. I understand that you never truly know what someone is going through, and that realization has guided me in my interactions with others.

In a nutshell, my journey has been one of resilience, adaptation, and growth. It’s shown me the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and emerge stronger. Life’s hardships have taught me not to give up, to constantly better myself, and to extend kindness to others.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

For me, the most rewarding part of being an influencer and content creator is the genuine impact I can have on the lives of others. It’s an incredible feeling to know that my content resonates with people, whether it brings them happiness, inspiration, or valuable insights. Building a community where people engage with my content and share their thoughts is both humbling and fulfilling.
