In the Works with Vivi

We all have childhood needs that haven’t been met. This can show up in a range of ways, from physical, emotional, and/or psychological neglect.  The wounds of our younger self may not be beautiful at the surface, but the stories of healing behind them are.  My dear friend, Shelby Lawrence, is here to shed light on the crucial (and relevant) process of healing your younger self. If you leave this e...

When I think of the me I want to be, I’m not thinking about what job she has, what school she went to, what her body looks like, etc. My hope is that she is happy and whole. I hope that she has forgiven herself for her mistakes, and has recognized her strength.  I’m sure I’m not alone - especially in our 20s, confidence can be a struggle. How can we be confident when we are still in search of who...

Trauma is not just about the memory of what happened - it’s about the emotion you felt during that experience. Process all the emotions that come up for you. Let the feelings move through you. Once you start feeling them, you stop fueling them. This healing is for you.  I’m so proud of wherever you are in your healing journey :) With love,  Vivi SOCIALS:  Instagram: ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/int...

There’s no one like you. No one can act like you, laugh like you, love like you… It’s not about trying so hard to be different or unique, or trying to be someone you’re not. It’s about embracing who you truly are and expressing it in a creative manner. This is the episode I need in this season of my life. I hope you see the value in it, and more importantly, I hope you see the value in yourself. ...

Today, we’re talking all things Purpose. What is purpose? How do we discover what our purpose is? How do we step into our power and truly live into our purpose? I may not be a pro on this topic, but that’s why I have an incredible guest to accompany me on this conversation. He is known as Mr. Joseph Itaya, AKA, the Professor of Purpose for today! He is an award-winning film director, digital conte...

We subconsciously foster this expectation that life will go along without any problems. We know problems are inevitable, yet, we spend our lives avoiding problems and/or pretending that they don’t exist. Honestly, many of us ignore the need to grow until we are faced with problems. Problems force us to grow up; it’s not all about what we want, when we want it, or how we want it. When things don’t...

Meet my boyfriend, Andrew Kleszewski!  In efforts of sharing more of my life with you, I thought I’d introduce you to someone that’s been a crucial part of life in my 20s. I’ve gone through the lowest lows and highest highs with Andrew by my side, and I could not be more grateful.  We start with Him or Her questions, Who’s More Likely To, and we close with a few deeper questions. I can’t wait for...

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 1 of my podcast, In the Works. In this decade of our 20s, we are in search of meaning, purpose, and our impact in this world. Each day, we are taking a step towards finding ourselves, but more importantly, creating ourselves. We’re creating ourselves and a life we can’t wait to wake up to.  I think we can all agree - one of life’s greatest gifts is relationships!  You...
