From Ukraine to Ireland: rebuilding a life
In this episode, we sit down with Oleksandra Hinchuk, a courageous young woman from Ukraine who was forced to flee her homeland because of the war. Now living in Ireland, Oleksandra opens up about the emotional challenges of starting over in a new country — the moments of gratitude, the feelings of loss, and the search for purpose far from home.
But her story doesn’t stop there. Fueled by a deep love for her country, Oleksandra has founded a nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding Ukrainian schools that have been destroyed by the war. Through her work, she is helping to restore not only buildings but hope — for children, communities, and Ukraine’s future.
Join us for a heartfelt conversation about resilience, identity, and the power of turning pain into purpose.
