Description

Victoria explores the illusion of competition in the art world—and how letting go of it can lead to deeper creative confidence and connection. She breaks down why scarcity thinking keeps artists stuck, and how we can reframe comparison, rejection, and success on our own terms.

Whether you’ve felt discouraged by rejections or found yourself comparing your path to others, this episode is a reminder that there’s room for everyone. Victoria shares personal stories and offers a mindset shift—from seeing others as competition to seeing them as community.

There’s no scoreboard. No trophy. No one path. When we release the idea that we’re falling behind, we begin to trust the rhythm of our own journey—and that’s where the real magic happens.
