Grow in English with Victoria

Most people don’t stop improving because they lack talent. They stop improving because they stop paying attention. In this episode, I talk about a realization I had while teaching English, rollerblading, and learning new skills: there is a point where we become comfortable, and comfort can quietly stop our growth.

As I prepare to celebrate my 32nd birthday, I wanted to share some of the biggest lessons life has taught me so far. Some of these lessons came from success. Others came from heartbreak, failure, loss, teaching English, building a business, learning new skills, and simply paying attention to life. In this episode, I talk about confidence, happiness, health, kindness, self-growth, money, relationsh...

We talk about acceptance, compassion, discipline born from love (not self-hat...

In this episode of Growing English with Victoria, we explore something many people experience but rarely talk about: imposter syndrome. That quiet voice in your mind that appears when you start growing, achieving, or stepping outside your comfort zone. It tells you that you don’t belong.

If you’ve ever felt like the “odd one out,...

In this episode, I talk about a simple but powerful truth: the only way out is through it. So many people want fluency, confidence, and transformation — but without discomfort.

In this episode, I share how the law of assumption can help you shift your mindset, stop waiting to feel “ready,” and start living in English now.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or pressured b...
