We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Victoria Nielsen. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Victoria below.
Victoria, we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
Cultivating a daily meditation practice has allowed me to become comfortable in my own skin and to know that I’m worthy of anything I desire in this world. Working with the subconscious mind to re-write old stories takes time, but your healing is always worth it. Confidence is an inside job, and something you have to come to internally. You can put whatever outfit you want on to feel confident in the moment, but if you don’t love yourself on the inside, it’s not sustainable.
In my early 20’s I really wasn’t very kind to myself or to my body, and I was always looking for love in all the wrong places. My meditation practice and morning rituals have helped me find more self-love and carry over into every aspect of my life. The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. And confidence and self-esteem are a byproduct of that. When you love yourself, it’s easy to drink your own kool-aid and know you’re awesome.
When you can recognize your own amazingness, whether or not anyone else does, that’s the ultimate confidence boost.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Amiscarriage in 2018 rocked my world and kickstarted my self-discovery journey. All the things I thought I wanted for my life didn’t feel good anymore — the important title, the big paycheck — and even though I didn’t really know it at the time, my spiritual and wellness journey really began.
Learning to tap into my intuition through the Akashic Records (an energetic tool of healing and empowerment) helped heal my grief, and it ultimately overflowed into so much joy and love in my life. Now, I demystifies ancient practices like the Akashic Records and Kundalini Yoga to help you nurture your intuition and live a more embodied and empowered life.
I help women who’ve awakened to the calling for more discover who they are vs. what society has always told them to be. As women, our intuition is our innate superpower. Most women through cultural and familial conditioning, have stopped listening to and honoring that inner knowing as they navigate their lives.
Through ceremonial circles, coaching, and simplifying these ancient practices, I create a safe space for you to reconnect back to that most powerful and wise intuitive aspect of yourself. Because when you’re in touch with your intuition, you’re in touch with your truth – the most powerful and unique thing that makes you YOU, and something you need to manifest your best life.
There are so many spiritual coaches who tell you their exact method is “the way.” I’m here to say screw that, and help you forge your own path to your version of bliss. My approach to energy work allows you to make friends with your fear, and uncover the wild woman you’ve always been all along.
I love holding space for intimate groups to go deep. We’re not alone on this Earthly journey, and ceremonial circles allow us to see ourselves and our experiences reflected in one another.
My simple approach to empowerment allows you to slow down and get clear on what you really want next in life, helping you feel fully seen and supported, guiding you to a new awareness of yourself and the world around you.
My clients say I’m authentic, grounded, and real, and I believe your feelings and emotions are actually your north star through any situation. My personal mission is to help new and seasoned mamas everywhere find the love for themselves that they have for their babies.
I love supporting all sorts of mamas – because as women, we’re always mothering something – a business, a fur baby, your friends, you name it. I hope you’ll find my intuitive mix of healing and energy work comforting, healing, and full of love.
Finding (and listening!) to my intuition changed my life, and I’d be honored to help you tap into yours so you can find your own bold confidence and live the life you’ve always dreamed of.
I’m hosting a 5-day wellness retreat in Mexico this April, and I have a weekly podcast, Flip the Script with Vic, that has new episodes every Tuesday.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Resiliency – No matter what life throws at you, you’re able to pivot and continue. Being able to regulate your emotions and your reactions helps tremendously with this. It’s not about never reacting, because that’s not possible, but rather getting yourself back to a neutral state faster after something happens. Life is always going to have highs and lows, but being resilient allows you to navigate them with a bit more ease.
Boundaries – Having and maintaining them are good for your mental health, but also your energetic hygiene. As a multitasking mom, it’s so important to set aside dedicated time for work, as well as your family. When you can focus 100% on one, you’re able to give it your all in a whole new way because you know you have time set aside for the other afterward.
Healthy Fear – To me, healthy fear is that butterflies in the stomach feeling, “am I really going to do this?” feeling. And then taking a deep breath and doing the thing that scares you anyway. Fear is natural and good. It shows us that we’re reaching an edge to our previous limits. When we walk through that fear, it’s almost always some type of mental block that we’re moving though that unlocks a new level for us in the future.
What has been your biggest area of growth or improvement in the past 12 months?
My relationship with myself. In January, I decided to commit to a daily meditation practice and to healthier eating habits by switching to plant-based meals 3x/week. Taking this time to just be with my own thoughts and feelings has helped me navigate life from a more grounded and peaceful place. And nourishing my body with healthy foods makes me feel happy and strong. I’m more in tune with my own wants and desires because I take the time to listen to what my intuition and my body are telling me it needs. I’m truly embodying all the things I teach my clients, and it shows. Life has a natural, easy flow to it, and it’s something I want to help every woman achieve.
