About This Episode
In this episode of Yarns with Andy, Ana Taranenko shares her journey from growing up in Ukraine to building a life and career in New Zealand. She talks about the culture shock of arriving with limited English, the grind of starting from scratch in a new country, and how those early struggles shaped her resilience and work ethic. Ana opens up about navigating identity as an immigrant, finding her voice in business, and the moments that forced her to back herself when it would've been easier not to. It's an honest conversation about what it actually takes to rebuild your life somewhere new and come out the other side stronger for it.
