Summary
In this extraordinary conversation, I had the privilege to chat with Pauline Victoria where we discuss her refusal to live life on the sidelines, despite being born with no legs or arms. This lady hasn’t just defied expectations, she’s rewritten the rule book every step of the way.
Pauline is on a mission to spread hope, having created a magical life for herself full of love and fulfilment. She’s an inspiration to many as she shares her unique power to use the little she was born with to create an opportunity to live a life full of significance and impact!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When a baby is born, it isn't just a life and a responsibility being brought into the world. It is the creation of possibility and potential, and should be treated as such.
- It's very easy to sit on the sidelines of life and never step forwards. But if we do this, we are compromising something. We are saying to ourselves that we accept second best.
- It takes faith to realise that no matter our position in life, or the circumstances of our existence, we have the potential and the capacity to bring light into the world.
- We learn the most valuable lessons through painful experiences. Nothing of quality ever comes from the easy route in life. By putting ourselves through challenges, we grow exponentially stronger.
BEST MOMENTS
'There's not just a life that's born, but the potential, the possibility that exists with that baby'
'I had to get comfortable with being uncomfortable'
'I am bigger than my circumstances, and I get to dictate and decide who I am in the face of them'
'There are times in our lives, when our circumstances put us on the sidelines of life, and then there are times we put ourself on the sidelines'

| 0:19.8 | you will know I've had some big hitters on here so that is not a claim that I make lightly. |
| 0:25.7 | Today I'm joined by the fabulous Pauline Victoria. Now Pauline is an inspirational thought leader. |

| 0:39.4 | so I encourage you all to check that out. She is also a business coach who runs mastermind sessions |
| 0:45.5 | and one-to-one with her clients on business and mindset but for those of you who are watching |
| 0:52.1 | this we will also see that Pauline was born with no arms and no legs and that has not stopped her |
| 1:01.6 | in any way shape her form. From a young age she decided that she was not going to live life on |
| 1:08.2 | the sidelines so putting aside her incredible achievements within business. She just lives a |

| 1:43.0 | you have got no idea how incredible you are and that was just, you know, you're so ridiculously |
| 1:52.1 | humble, it's unbelievable. Just when you mentioned to me about the fact that you did swimming, |
| 1:55.7 | so you're like, oh yeah, no it's fine, which is no big deal. I'm like, what's no big deal? |
| 2:00.5 | Like how is I even physically possible? So you're incredible but perhaps we can start back in the |
| 2:06.9 | beginning if that's okay. Obviously you, as I just said in the introduction, you were born |
| 2:13.0 | with new arms and legs. What was it like for you growing up? |
