Gary Chivichyan — also known as “The Armenian Sniper” — made history as the first Armenian to be drafted into the NBA G League, becoming a trailblazer for an entire community that had never seen itself represented on that stage before.
 
Now 29, Gary is in a new chapter — one defined not just by basketball, but by identity, reinvention, and purpose. He’s a husband, a mentor, and a speaker who’s using his platform to remind the next generation that success isn’t always about becoming the next Michael Jordan — sometimes it’s about becoming the most authentic version of yourself, again and again.

Description

Welcome to Breaking Through with Ellina Abovian — a podcast and platform dedicated to real stories of resilience, healing, and transformation.
I’m Ellina Abovian — KTLA 5 News reporter, Armenian American storyteller, and proud single mom. After more than 15 years in front of the camera telling other people’s stories, I realized it was time to tell my own. Breaking Through was born from the most challenging chapter of my life — a season of heartbreak, reinvention, and self-discovery — and has since become a space for honest conversations about what it really takes to rebuild, evolve, and rise.
Here, we talk about it all — from spirituality and self-growth to love, loss, purpose, and the courage to start over. Each episode features meaningful conversations with thought leaders, artists, healers, and everyday people who’ve turned their breaking points into breakthroughs.
If you’re navigating a new chapter, chasing meaning, or simply craving truth in a filtered world — you’re in the right place.
Subscribe and join me on the journey — one breakthrough at a time.
