Welcome!

Svetka Popov is a speaker, podcast host of THE ONES WHO DARED podcast, and author carrying a generational story of faith, freedom, and courageous legacy. Born into a family persecuted under the Soviet regime, she now shares the quiet strength passed down by her mother and grandmother — helping others reclaim their own stories and rise with purpose. Through her podcast, writing, and speaking, she invites audiences into brave, wholehearted living rooted in legacy and faith. Svetka is currently working on her debut book and leads retreats and gatherings that inspire deep connection and transformation.

When she’s not writing or speaking, Svetka is curating intentional spaces, hosting wellness retreats, or gathered around the table with her family and popping confetti in celebration of others.
