There are times in life when it helps to zoom in, and there are times when it’s best to zoom out. It makes so much sense that we wish for the roadmap and for someone to give us the keys and tell us where to go in advance- but, life doesn’t work that way. In this solo episode, Victoria talks about the parallels found in an unlikely place and how you can navigate your way through hard decisions with a little more ease.
