Summary

Vic is back with her most unfiltered advice session yet! She shares the parenting values she hopes to pass down one day, the pressure to settle in love (+ why you shouldn’t settle), and why regret should scare us more than opinions when it comes to chasing what we want in life. Vic shares how to cope with comparison in your 20s, what to do when your career path changes, and the mindset shift that keeps her motivated. Plus, she reflects on body image struggles she faced as an athlete and how she’s learned to build true confidence. Tune in for unfiltered guidance, tough-love encouragement, and the real talk you need to overcome whatever challenges or setbacks you’re facing.
