**Quotes: **
Victoria speaks about the divine feminine
“I realized this divine feminine is an aspect that we all have. A lot of times we subjugate her. Men have this. Women have this. And we put her away because of the pace of our lives, because of our work, because of our family duties. And when she comes out, she comes from such place of her own individual heart. A person's own individual heart. But also the world heart.” (06:24)
Victoria on how important taking time
“When we are in that place of relaxing into the feminine, when we can do that, we create peace inside of ourselves. And that peace can flow from us out into the world. (16:27)
Victoria on why women supporting other women is so important:
“…for one woman to acknowledge another woman's beauty, and power, and gift in the world is tremendously healing for everyone in that interaction.” (23:38)
Victoria on one piece of advice for women:
“Really believe in yourself. Take time to nurture yourself and to nurture your dreams while you're nurturing everyone else.” (31:02)
