Oleg Lougheed’s story will inspire you to overcome the odds because of the incredible way he has in his own life. I am so grateful he shared his story with me and that I get to share it with you now. Growing up in a Russian orphanage, Oleg was mistreated, neglected, and abused. After adoption to the US at age twelve, he has risen up to start the nonprofit Overcoming Odds that focuses on helping children and families bridge the gap and gain insight, education, and resources for successful international adoptions. It’s much more than that, though; he has created a forum for transformational conversations that allow people to be seen, be heard, and to dive down deep into the issues of problems so that solutions can be discovered and implemented. Oleg’s story is jaw dropping, heart breaking, gut wrenching, but at the same time heart warming, perspective shifting, and mind expanding. You will be deeply impacted by this podcast, and that’s why I’m excited to bring it to you.

Everyone you meet, every single day, is fighting a battle you know nothing about. We are all in the process of overcoming something big, something small, but we are faced with the challenge to overcome all the time. You, me, we have overcome 100% of our darkest days.
I’m Justin Wren, and I believe we are all Overcomers if we choose to overcome. We all have the option. I have overcome childhood trauma, sexual abuse, immense bullying, depression, suicidal ideation, self-imposed substance abuse, and addiction to numb my pain, and I survived two real-deal suicide attempts.
