E046: Uncovering A Legacy-- Svetka Popov

About SvetkaSvetka Popov is a successful entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and host of The Ones Who Dared podcast. Her mom’s passing was the inciting incident that propelled her on a quest to uncover stories of the two generations of women that come before her; her mother and grandmother. Before that, she had no interest in learning the history of the Soviet Union or Communism. She found not only heroes in those stories but discovered much more than she imagined. Through the interviews, countless hours of research, old handwritten letters, and the help of many. Svetka met brave souls who had lived in a time of hardship, persecution, and oppression by their country’s leaders. Yet, amidst it all, they have drawn closer to their faith. Their stories inspired her and offered her hope and a fresh perspective for today. Today, Svetka is writing a book about the courageous legacy of her mother and grandmother. She has been traveling and speaking in schools about the impact the Nazi regime had on her grandmother and the Communist persecution that her mother and grandmother faced in different ways. Svetka lives with her husband and their two sons on the East Coast.  As an ambivert, she is not only addicted to books but is also a passionate gatherer of people, especially around a dining table. Svetka recently launched The Ones Who Dared podcast, which feeds into her new favorite activity of interviewing people with stories of courage.Connect with SvetkaWebsite:https://www.svetkapopov.com/Social Media:IG: @svetka_popovFinally, be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and SHARE!  Make sure you don't miss a thing by subscribing on your favorite podcast platform and share so that all your friends can find us too! Connect with ErinIG @erincucciowww.erincuccio.comOrder Unraveled- Finding the Lovely When Life Comes Undonebook.erincuccio.comJoin my COMMUNITY https://hello.erincuccio.com/ You'll receive exclusive content right to your mobile device, and the best part is it's FREE.
