My key takeaways from the discussion are as follows:

1. Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today

2. Tune into yourself, learn to be present, cultivate mindfulness, cultivate, that present moment awareness because our intellect will serve us best when it is in service to our intuition and not the other way around.

3. Sometimes, we find these parts of ourselves that we're not super comfortable with and we judge them. Being really kind to ourselves is important.

4. Lastly, I really like what Victoria said about how to recognize the voice of our intuition – she said that ‘your spirit is actually emotionally neutral. Your spirit doesn't judge, it's very calm, clear, and direct. So for most of us, the voice of our intuition is very calm, very clear and very direct. And even if it's giving us information, that might not be what we want to hear. It usually delivers that information in a clear and calm manner.

Note: At time stamp 23:45 you will notice that Victoria very naturally started channeling her guides to guide her through this discussion.
