Working for the Life You Want - A Conversation with Katarina Spackova
Katarina has built a life marked by remarkable achievements in America, but the journey has not been without sacrifice. Like many immigrants, she has experienced seasons of uncertainty, shed tears through moments of loneliness, navigated financial hardship, and wrestled with unfamiliar systems—from education and immigration to housing and even learning her way around a new city.
Along the way, there were times she simply couldn't do it alone. She asked for help—and again and again, people were willing to help.
Her advice is simple but powerful: ask.
As immigrants, we can sometimes allow pride, fear, or even shame to keep us from reaching out. Yet no one succeeds in a foreign country entirely on their own. Every journey is strengthened by the kindness, generosity, and encouragement of others.
