Hello, everybody. It's Reid Tracy. Welcome back to the You Can Heal Your Life podcast.

Today's guest is Victoria LeBalm and she's new to Hay House. Her book is called Risk

Forward and Brace the Unknown and unlock your hidden genius. And I could go on and on

how incredible she is and all the wonderful things she's done. But I'm going to let her tell you

a little bit about why she wrote this book and a little bit about ourselves and then we'll go

from there. So hi, Victoria. Hi, Reid. Thank you for having me. I'm happy to have you and I can't

wait to share you with the Hay House world. Thank you. So you asked me sort of why I why wrote the book

a little bit about my background and why I wrote the book is that, you know, for many years,

I suffered under this myth that unless I was clear and I had a plan and a goal, I couldn't succeed.

And I found in my early life that I was making decisions that were different. I couldn't

always explain them except that they seemed right for me. And as I went on in my career,

which I'll talk about, I discovered there are other people that had that same feeling. They

preferred always clear on where they were going or had a definite path or a plan or a project

or a goal. And over years of working with some of the most celebrated companies and creative

individuals, I discovered the secret that a lot of them didn't know either that clarity is not

the place that we start from. It's the place we end up at and it's a cycle we go through again

and again. And so I wanted to address the value of not knowing and how we can embrace that and

actually find the most original path forward for each of us. So that's why I wrote the book

to alleviate that suffering and to give people permission to not know.

Exactly an incredible reason to do it. And I know so many people listening to this are going to

relate to that because all of us have been in that position and wondered about it.

Yes, exactly. Well, let's go from there into hearing about who you are.
