What's up everybody happy Well That's Good Monday? I hope you're having a great day today and a great start to your week. I can promise you and assure you it is about to get so much better. We have one of the most inspiring guests on the podcast today. Truly, like, I always

tell you all this, but whenever I'm prepping a podcast, I'm so blessed by the prep, just getting to

read books and watch interviews and learn stories. And today, this morning, I was feeling so

encouraged by listening to this girl talking my ear this morning. And I'm so grateful she's going to be talking in your ear now. We actually have Victoria Arland and she has a new book, The View, is Worth It. And I can't wait to dive into your story, Victoria. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for having me. I'm a big fan. So this is very exciting. Well, it was really cool because we ran into each other at Dancing with the Stars back in November. Yes. And you were standing in front of me. We were waiting on that long line for the press. Finally, me and I both were like, we don't want to go out there. I actually did. I was like, I did. Dang it. I should have joined you. I know. I should have told you. I'm like, I'm going this way.

Well, I ran into Dina and Dina Katz, and she's amazing. And she's the reason I was on the show. I don't know your story. Same. Yeah, same. so funny because I saw Dina the corner of my eye and I had on that sparkle dress and she goes,

well, if you can't win a mirror ball, you as well wear it and I was like word thank you for that Dina I appreciate that but anyways I saw you we had the quickest conversation truly and then I guess how did we start DMing that we should do the podcast I feel like we've done a lot of random DMs over the year, like, yes, I love this.

That's so true. I mean, I've like Fangirl, too, or just everything you're about. And then I think we did talk, you brought up the podcast. And I was like, oh, I was like, I was shook. I was shook. Because I followed along, again, on Instagram, and I told you this today. new aspects of your story enough to know like you were super inspirational.

I love following you on and along, again, on Instagram, and I told you this today, I knew aspects of your story enough to

know, like, you were super inspirational. I love following you on Instagram, but I really didn't

know the story until really after I asked you to be on the podcast, which is kind of a funny way

to go about it. I knew enough to know you should be on the podcast because you're crushing it

and so inspiring. But then as I dove into the story, I was like, whoa, okay, I didn't even know the layers here. No, truly like the layers. And I was like, I'm so grateful that you're on. So before we dive into everything, I'll ask you the question to ask everyone who comes on the Well Let's Go podcast. And it's kind of a big one.

But what is the best piece of advice that you've been given if you can think of one?

Okay.

And then we'll dive into your story.

Okay.

I think it's a two for, it's a two for one, that it's okay to not be okay.

And it's also okay to be okay. Oh, that's good. So like two can exist where it's, if you're not okay, that's okay. But when you are okay, that's also okay. Because when you live and fight and flight, you're like, wait, the water's different over here. Yeah. And so embracing that when things are good, let them be good. That's actually so good. I've never heard the back end of that saying, if you are okay, it is okay. Because I used to have like so much anxiety. And I felt like whenever I didn't feel anxious, then you start getting anxious about why you're... You start searching for it. Yes. Why you're not anxious. Yes. That's so true. And just to live in that. I'm like, no, things are good. And I actually challenged myself to that recently. I had like a prayer text and I text people like prayer request. And the other day I was like, you know what? Like I always text them whenever something like bad happens. But I'm going to text them and tell them like things are great, you know? And it was like so cool just to be like, hey guys, like thanks for preparing me in the hard times, but I just want y them and tell them, like, things are great, you know? And it was, like, so cool just to be like, hey, guys, like, thanks for praying me in hard times. I just want

you all to know, like, things are really good. And I know that's because of answered prayers. And, like, living in the state of gratitude of, like, right here, right now. So I love to hear that from you and you represent that so well with your story. Okay, so let's go like all the way back.

Like tell me about childhood. Tell me about. represent that so well with your story. Okay, so let's go like all the way back. Like

tell me about childhood, tell me about what you were like as a kid. So I'm a triplet.

So there was a buy one get too free in the Arlen House. And what's so cool about God is
