From Ukraine to California: A New Beginning
My name is Nadia Popova, and this is my story. In 2012, I made a life-changing decision to move from Ukraine to California. The transition was anything but easy. I was jobless, incredibly insecure, didn't know who I was, didn't speak the language, had never driven a car before, and essentially had to start my life over. Despite having over a decade of experience in family law in Ukraine, I never felt that this was what I was meant to do. When I moved, I thought I had failed miserably at life. I didn’t know why I was here or if I would even be able to survive. To add to the challenge, my family offered me zero support regarding my decision to move to California.

However, I knew in my heart that I had something to offer this world. Simply put, I had no idea what it was yet! I struggled to find meaning and purpose in my new life in San Diego during my first year in California. Being a former lawyer who was used to being understood and heard by others, it was extremely uncomfortable for me to find myself in a new country with a strong accent and a language barrier. I asked myself, "Ok, dear, what's next?!" My inner voice answered, "Well, how about beginning with believing in yourself again?"

The Start of My Fitness Journey
I began my fitness journey with the unspoken goal of becoming a better version of myself so that people would like and accept me. It may sound crazy, but it's true. I participated in 11 competitions across the nation in less than 5 years, winning first place and the title of overall champion. I dominated the competition stage and had a toned body. But as soon as I stopped living the athletic bodybuilding lifestyle, I would experience low self-esteem, low motivation, and negative body image. My mental health appeared to be a problem. I was able to alter my physical appearance, but not my mentality.

A 360-Degree Transformation
"What's next, my dear?" was a question I needed to ask myself once more. This time, my inner voice told me to use my heart—it's your most powerful tool. I started reading every self-help book I could lay my hands on. This ultimately guided me to become a powerful coach that brings a blend of knowledge in spirituality, self-development, and physical training. I researched the impact of the subconscious on human existence. That was a full 360 degrees turnaround in my life.
