    From Poverty to Purpose: Ana Megrelishvili's Journey of Faith, Resilience and Impact Ep 184
    Jul 9 2025
    Hi and Welcome my amazing listeners!

    🫶🏻 Today's inspiring episode will leave you in awe of our guest's strength and overcoming. Born and raised in Russia under deeply challenging circumstances, Ana faced childhood poverty, abandonment, and hunger. After her father lost his job and succumbed to alcoholism, Ana's family was left to survive on their own. From stealing food to being hospitalized with tuberculosis due to malnutrition, her early life was marked by unimaginable hardship. But instead of breaking her, it built her! Fueled by Faith and fierce determination, Ana earned a scholarship, moved to the US and transformed her pain into purpose. Today she uplifts others through coaching and leads Christian Professionals of Atlanta, a non-profit dedicated to serving the homeless.
