Колись церква була основою єдності та ідентичності українців у Канаді, але сьогодні її роль піддається переосмисленню в сучасному світі.
Magda Avah’s journey from Ghana to Winnipeg is a powerful story of resilience, as she transformed the challenges of starting over into a purposeful career pivot from software consulting to nonprofit humanitarian work.
Through her lived experience, she now champions accessible mental health care, proving that growth often begins where plans change and reminding us that no one has to navigate life’s detours alone.
We’re wired to grow, but our nervous systems cling to the familiar, turning change into fear that shows up as procrastination or self‑doubt.
Executive coach Kim Mintenko explains how regulating the nervous system and taking small, aligned actions helps us work with our biology, not against it, for sustainable growth.

“Since my first day in Canada, I have been working on Ukrainian News. As a Ukrainian-speaking journalist, I focused on stories related to the Ukrainian community in Manitoba. The more I live in Canada, the more I face current civic concerns and issues the more I want to find solutions to these problems. That’s how the idea for “Community Hour” came about.
I’m delighted to have lots of exciting people in our studio. I love listening to their stories and experiences and getting the answers to our community’s civic questions.”
💥Вітаємо вас на подкасті «УКанаді», де досвідчені іммігранти діляться своїм досвідом та інсайтами про життя в Канаді.💥
Тут ви не почуєте історій миттєвого успіху як “все вдалося з першого разу”. Ми усі розуміємо, що успіх це не про короткий шлях. Ніхто не казав, що життя в іміграції просте, однак саме ці труднощі формують нас та наш успіх. Герої подкасту у Канаді – це люди з реальними історіями, які долали труднощі, зазнали невдач, але завдяки рішучості досягли свого. Отож, слухайте, навчайтесь і надихайтесь!
