🎧 Topic: Would Your Younger Self Recognize You?

There is something I’ve often reflected on, especially after the many battles I’ve fought—both in a courtroom and in my own soul:

Would the young Virginia, a little girl in communist Romania—scared, determined, searching for purpose—be proud of the woman I’ve become today?

That question is not just for me. It’s a question for each of us.

Ask yourself:

Would your younger self recognize you?

Would they admire you?

Would they be proud of your courage—or disappointed in your compromise?

Today, I want to invite you on a journey—one that moves us from survival to significance, from fear to faith, from hiding to hope.

Let’s talk about how to become the person your younger self would be proud of. Remember that every battle is won before its fought - because Christ won the victory for us.

🎙️ Welcome back #everyone to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #podcast

🎧 Topic: Light the Fire in You

I want to talk about something that has the power to change your life, your legacy, and the world around you: lighting a fire within you.

Not a literal fire—but one fueled by purpose, truth, courage, and faith.

You may know me as someone who stood up to a cruel dictator in socialist Romania. But before I ever stood up to him, I had to let God ignite something within me. A fire that burned brighter than my fear. A fire that wouldn’t let me give up—even when my life was on the line.

When this podcast you will learn that :

Fire is a sign of life, direction, and passion.

As when God lights it, no one can put it out—not even the most powerful regimes.

Courage represents the strength and determination to face challenges, stand up for you beliefs, and act in accordance with your faith, even in the face of adversity.

🎙️ Welcome back #everyone to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #podcast

🎧 Topic:The 7 Truths of a Courageous Life

Indeed is something that touches every one of us. Courage is - Not the absence of fear, but the strength to move forward despite it.

I want to talk about “The 7 Truths of a Courageous Life” .

And how God uses our struggles, triumphs, and faith to encourage and ignite courage in us and to those around us — and even generations to come.

I stand before you not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who has lived through seasons when everything around me seemed to shake — my nation, my freedom, my safety, and even my life.

I lived under a brutal socialist regime in #Romania, was persecuted for defending Christians in court, and was almost killed for my faith. And I discovered something priceless in that fire: a life built on Christ is courageous and unshakable.

🎙️ Welcome back #everyone to Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan #Podcast

🎧 Topic: Wake Up and Fight - Socialism is destroying America .

I was born under a #Socialist regime in #Romania that promised heaven but delivered hell. I know socialism intimately—not from textbooks, not from debates, but from life itself. I lived it.

I fought against it and I survived it. And by God’s grace and in His power, I won.

I was transformed by God through it as Romania was changed when God used me for His glory. And - I’m here to warn you—socialism is not for America.”

Grew up in Romania under Nicolae Ceaușescu’s socialist regime. Persecuted for defending religious freedom and human rights.

I was exiled to America as a political refugee —seeking liberty, not comfort. I am grateful for freedom, but deep concern seeing America flirt with the very system I fought against. I did not come to America for a better economy—I came for freedom. That’s what’s at stake today.

Today, I want to help you discover that truth about Socialism and help you fight against it in America.
