Ready to create and cultivate the career of your dreams? Well, welcome to Work Party, the podcast.

You know, what you're saying here is like, maybe the end goal is that we're fighting for.

I think about that when I was super thin at that moment where I was really grinding,

So I got to my goal and I stood there and it was not worth it at all.

Hey everybody and welcome to RealPod. I'm Victoria Garrick, former D.O.N. athlete and mental health

and body am a jabbit. Every Wednesday I'll be bringing you awesome guests, weekly inspiration,

and the realest conversations around everything and anything. Now let's get real.

Welcome back to RealPod, everybody. I hope you're doing well. This episode, this is a moment for me.
