I'm back!

It's been 8 months the since I shared my last podcast.. so much has changed, which I'll be filling you in on in the next episode.

So today I'm fresh back from a weekend at another Medicine Retreat and this one hit different for me. This one was challenging as I uncovered hidden trauma that I didn't even know I was holding on to. It feels big.

In this episode I share all about my journey, what I took away and a few snippets which I think will help you.

Watch out for the next episode where I'll give you an update of where I've been for the last 8 months and why I've fallen off the radar.

So much love and I'd love to hear what you think - you can find me on instagram @VictoriaKnowlesLacks

In this episode I felt the call to share more with you about my personal journey and an update of where I'm at right now and what it took to get here.

I feel like after a year of soul searching a few things have really shifted and clicked for me.

Here's what I cover:

• How I'm building my new business around my life and making spaciousness to be with my family a priority - I've built a life I love, now it's to slot in my dream business around it.
• My personal shift that happened on my amazing mentor, Lauries Burrows business retreat and was backed up and finalised on a plant medicine retreat the following weekend.
• How it's so important to follow your highest excitement and how energising that is, how it's rocket fuel in fact.
• How just because you've had some thoughts doesn't mean they're real. The good thing about thoughts is you can change them in a moment.
• My juicy offerings that I'm excited to share. Link below to my Free Soul Aligned Business Map.
• And two simple questions for you if you're starting to think about your shift.
• How you can claim a free 30 minute coaching / mentoring / brainstorming session with me.

Thanks for listening, I appreciate your time so much.

I absolutely loved chatting to Rachel, her energy is such a vibe and her wisdom is life changing. In this gorgeous chat we flowed through all manner of nourishing topics and things including:

• The dreaded endemic of not enoughness. How it takes hold and takes over. Rachel has the best analogy she shares about it.
• The equally imposter syndrome and how everyone has it, even the ones we don’t, do.
• I shared my conscious connected breathwork experience of enoughness and how it was always within me, I just needed this modality to really bring it through for me.
• Rachel talked about how she's the true embodiment of what she teaches and as a result how she powerfully holds clients in her energy to help facilitate their transformation into sacred self love.
• Which modalities she uses in helping her client to shift what's possible for them.
• The use of movement to down regulate your nervous system before shifting perspectives + bringing on healing.
• How all of Rachels Sacred Self Love Sanctuary ceremonies are channeled from the divine + how we can tap into that inner wisdom.
• What self love actually looks like.
• We discussed the pressure of feeling like we have to do all the things every day and how actually another self care practice can also lead into not enoughness..
• Rachel discusses her favourite tools for expanding self love and really integrating it.
• I share about how I now make power moves  in my business which take away the opportunity to procrastinate, so I can create outcomes much sooner. 
• When you put intention out there and how energising it is when you let go of bad energy, things are lighter.
• Rachel talks about different ways to attain an altered states of consciousness and the benefits of them.
• We touched on womb healing and the big mic drop: How we’re all vessels of the divine.

My first podcast guest! I'm delighted to share with you this unscripted, from the heart chat with my very good friend + renown healer + medicine woman, Lynn-Amanda (aka Lala).

I first met Lala about 2 years ago and she's been a huge part of my transformational journey, so I'm so happy to share her with you guys.

In this episode we're going all in and talking about sex.

There's so much we dig into inside this episode, from sacred sex, to making your relationship more intimate, asking for what you want, the sacredness of sex and so much more.

I'd love to know your thoughts + I'd love to know which bits vibed with you. Let me know inside my free ALIGN + ELEVATE Community.

Lala Mentions

• Vagina by Naomi Wolf
• Sex, Love + Goop

To get in touch with Lala + to find out more about her magical healing circle and book club (I'm so joining this), you can visit her website or find her on Instagram.

Also her 1:1 shadow work + inner child sessions I can fully vouch for.

This week I'm talking about getting my body in to alignment and what's working for me.

This is such a MASSIVE area to talk about, so as always it was unscripted and straight from the heart. I shared about where I was in terms of being hugely misaligned with my own body after battling bulimia and low self esteem.

Finding my strength and mental and physical power with combat sports (and expressing my inner warrior!).

I also dig into what I eat, what I don't eat, how I'm striving to really cut back on chemicals and I'm fluoride free. The supplements I take, including Reishi + Chaga medicinal mushrooms. I touch on EMF's and the importance of grounding to support our bodies.

How I tried and tested so much to beat inflammation and bloating and how that really helped boost my energy + get rid of brain fog.

And finally I touch on the power of cyclical living and how I'm starting to shift in to aligning my cycle with my business so I can really optimise my performance.

I hope there's something in this episode which sparks a little bit of interest or curiosity within you,

Remember: This is just my journey + what works for me may not work for you. You might not be ready to cut out processed food or ditch anything and that's ok - I just share in hope of inspiring.

Let me know if this episode helps and please do share with a friend + leave me a 5* review.

So much love + let's talk on Instagram @VictoriaKnowlesLacks or you can join me inside my free ALIGN + ELEVATE Soulpreneur Sanctuary community.

In my first business I was a CHRONIC over perfecter. I was on this constant mission to make everything totally perfect. I created sooo much stress, unnecessary work, restriction and anxiety around myself in this unrealistic question for perfection.

It was exhausting...

In this episode I shine a light on over perfection and call it out. I also share my journey, how authenticity beats perfection every time and how your best is always enough.

I've also got some questions for you to reflect on if you can relate. Have a think about these, grab your journal and dig in.

- Why are you overperfecting?
- What do you need to heal or face in order to start to feel like you're enough?
- What do you need to do to start to love + accept yourself?
- What is perfectionism costing you?
- What triggers or activates you in to feeling like you need to over perfect?

I'd absolutely LOVE to hear from you on what you think, what your answers are, or indeed if I can help. I get to work with beautiful souls to help them overcome their blocks and step in to who they truly are. This is just one little piece of our journey.

Whew - this is a biggie!

I absolutely loved recording this episode, it was all about alignment and just felt so aligned.

Moving + shifting in to alignment is such a massive topic and it's also a really personal journey too. I decided to do a mini series talking about aligning your mind, body and soul. This episode shares about ways you can start to shift your mind in to alignment.

There is so much goodness in this episode, including 'the story of 'Little Vicky' who was desperate to be liked, who had no idea she was more than enough and became this incredible woman. Our inner child has so much of a bearing of who we are and quite often our inner child needs love + reparenting.

I also talked about the pressures, insecurities, programmes, beliefs and the made up BS stories we tell ourselves as to why we are how we are.

Seriously, there's loads!! I'd absolutely love for you to have a listen and I hope there's something in there that resonates with you and sparks some thought in you that leads off as a step in your journey.

Equally, if you know someone who needs to hear any of this, please do share.

And finally, I'd LOVE to have you in my world. Click here to join my FREE Align + Elevate | Soulpreneur Sanctuary community.  We're launching officially soon + I've got some great friends to join me for a launch event you're not going to want to miss.

So much love, you incredible human.
