Bold Woman of the Month: Natasha Artyomenko

November’s Bold Woman of the Month believes that having faith in what you believe in can take you anywhere.

Natasha Artyomenko began a career in healthcare approximately one year ago in Fort St. John, and explained that she has been on a journey of self-discovery for several years. 

Before switching to healthcare, Artyomenko worked as a tax professional before spending two years in the auto insurance industry. 

She spoke about how she found her faith and was baptized in 2021, an event she said was ‘the biggest highlight’ of her life, and helped her find her confidence and personal growth. 

One major point she explained she continues to work on to this day is her introverted n ature, constantly challenging herself to be more social and extroverted. 

“The more I began to let people in and share some of my struggles, battles, or insecurities with, the more perspective I gained,” Artyomenko said. 

Artyomenko explained she was blessed to be spoiled for choice regarding strong, bold women to draw inspiration from throughout her life. She spoke at length about her mother, Grandmother, and four sisters.

“I truly think they’re far stronger than I, and I learn so much from them constantly. They’re beautiful and loving, and sometimes sassy little firecrackers, but boy, do they ever show a girl how she can always grow, improve, and be just a little bit better every day.” 

Artyomenko stated that she encourages anyone who is unsure to be bold by never giving up when life gets hard, and not losing hope if it takes a bit longer to find your way. 

“Life is kinda hard. We’re not given a ‘get rich quick’ card or a ‘get out of this struggle free’ card in life. Life was, is, and will always be, filled with struggles,” Artyomenko said.
