In this Summer Short, Vic shares a powerful story about how journaling helped her navigate a toxic work situation when her intuition was telling her something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

What You'll Learn:

  • How to use journaling as a conversation with yourself to unlock insights
  • The difference between talking things out with friends vs. writing without filters
  • Key questions to ask when something feels "off" but you can't identify why
  • How to move from awareness to action when you discover uncomfortable truths

Questions to Explore:
