Text a question to Victoria!

As an entrepreneur, have you ever struggled to turn your work brain “off”? Keri Ford is a mom of two, creative director turned award-winning executive coach, and the CEO and founder of Elevate with Keri. She is trauma trained and passionate about nervous system regulation for high-achieving women. Keri helps women bridge the gap between outer achievement and inner peace, teaching them how to build thriving businesses without burning out.

In this episode, Victoria and Keri dive into everything from trauma in entrepreneurship to the real cost of always being “on”. Keri shares how she went from corporate creative director to CEO and how each chapter taught her tools to get to the next level. You’ll walk away knowing how to recognize early signs of burnout, build resilience through regulated stress, and redefine what success looks like in your current season.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of constant decision fatigue, racing thoughts at night, or the pressure to maintain momentum no matter the cost, this episode is your permission slip to slow down. Whether you’re on your morning walk or taking a break between calls, this conversation will leave you feeling grounded with practical tools to use throughout your day. Grab your notebook and a fresh cup of coffee, because you don’t want to miss this one.
