QUOTES

Victoria: "If you think about what courage is, courage is doing something in the face of fear. And so I think there's this aspect of self doubt and fear of failure that never goes away, that you just keep pushing through and working through."

Victoria: "The other thing I think that's really interesting and, and there's been a lot of research, is the whole thing around decision fatigue. If you have to make a decision to do something at some point, you're just not going to make that decision. So that's where you create habits and create systems so that you don't have to decide."

Victoria: "Feedback is hard. It can be really hard when you fall in love with what you're doing. And then somebody says, well, you shouldn't love it so much. That's really hard. So it's, it's part of the courage. It's part of resilience. But you need to work through that to create that success."
