What happens when a woman finally feels safe enough to be herself?
In this intimate, year-ending conversation, Victoria Finch — known as The Heart Healer — returns for a powerful dialogue on inner child healing, trauma recovery, leadership, and the role of community in a woman’s next chapter.
Hosted by Deneen L. Garrett, creator of the Dream Lifestyle™ Collective, this episode explores how unresolved childhood experiences shape adult relationships, leadership, confidence, and the ability to receive love — and what becomes possible when women are finally held in safe, supportive spaces.
Victoria shares:
The childhood moment that shaped her life’s work
How inner child healing supports confidence and leadership
What women are often carrying at life’s turning points
Why community is essential for nervous system healing
How to choose a Word of the Year for 2026 as an intention — not a goal
This episode is especially for women who have spent years caregiving, leading, surviving, and giving — and are now ready to choose themselves, their joy, and what’s next.
