What does it really take to move from surviving your life to becoming the person who decides what happens next?
In this powerful episode of The BOLD and Brilliant Podcast, Tracie sits down with Sabrina Victoria, founder of Her Nation Global, to talk about resilience, entrepreneurship, sales, money, community, and what it means to fully step into your own power.
Sabrina shares the deeply personal journey that took her from losing her community as a young single mother, through years in an abusive relationship, to secretly building businesses, creating financial independence, and eventually leaving to build a life on her own terms. She is also candid about something we don't always hear in transformation stories: the change wasn't instantaneous. Getting out and rebuilding took years of fear, setbacks, determination, and small steps forward.
From there, Sabrina and Tracie turn to business—and especially the ways women can become more confident about sales, money, numbers, and asking for what they want.
It's an episode about becoming the champion of your own life and your business.
What You'll Learn in This Episode
- How Sabrina began moving from a victim mindset to seeing herself as the victor of her own story
- Why transformation usually involves a messy transition period—not one dramatic moment
- How Sabrina's years in door-to-door sales influence the way she teaches women entrepreneurs today
- Why women need both relationship-building and results-focused skills to grow thriving businesses
- How to sell without feeling pushy, manipulative, or “salesy”
- Why getting comfortable talking about money and numbers matters
- The difference between being an “ostrich” and a “champion” when it comes to your business finances
- How community, systems, sales, marketing, and support can help women move from surviving in business to thriving
Actionable Tips from This Episode
- Stop avoiding your numbers. Know what's coming in, what's going out, and whether your business is actually making money. Sabrina challenges women to become a champion of their numbers instead of an ostrich with their head in the sand.
- Practice saying the number. If saying your price makes you uncomfortable, Sabrina suggests getting more comfortable using numbers, statistics, percentages, and prices in everyday business conversations.
- Don't be afraid to sell. You can be transparent about making an offer rather than hiding it inside a complicated sales tactic.
- Let conversations be conversations. Sales can be an honest dialogue about what someone needs, what you provide, and whether the two are a fit.
- Take the next best step. You don't have to solve everything today. Identify the next move available to you and make it.

BOLD Moment of the Episode
Sabrina's BOLD story isn't really one moment—it's a series of decisions to reclaim control over her life.
After years in a controlling relationship where virtually everything belonged to her partner, Sabrina began secretly creating her own financial independence. She opened a bank account, started online businesses, saved money, found and furnished a home, and eventually left with her son.
Even then, fear didn't disappear.
Sabrina talks openly about how difficult the transition was and how long it took before she truly felt safe and stable. Her story is a reminder that being BOLD doesn't mean making one fearless leap. Sometimes it's continuing to make the next courageous decision even while you're still afraid.
