  • #113 Are you letting the calendar decide your life?
    Dec 31 2024

    #113 Bending reality is about vision, not deadlines.

    This episode asks what if reality isn’t as rigid as you’ve been led to believe?

    In this mind-bending episode the transformational coach and bestselling author Victoria Song how to uncover the secrets behind her groundbreaking book, Bending Reality.

    Together, they explore the art of making the impossible probable, why fear is a hidden superpower, and how to navigate life’s biggest challenges without shrinking from them.

    With candid stories, thought-provoking debates, and Victoria’s cutting-edge insights, this episode will flip your perception of success, ambition, and what it truly means to live expansively.

    Get ready for a conversation that pushes boundaries, challenges conventions, and inspires action.

    If you’re tired of playing small, this is your call to expand.


    Key Takeaways

    The shift from goals to vision

    The most striking idea is Victoria Song’s approach to vision over goals. Her perspective—holding an expansive vision without attaching it to time—feels liberating. It challenges the conventional obsession with deadlines and resolutions, encouraging listeners to focus on the feeling and energy of what you want to create rather than the constraints of a calendar.


    Bending reality is a radical concept

    The idea that reality is not fixed, but malleable is empowering and disruptive. It pushes you to rethink the “rules” we have accepted about success, timelines, and personal growth. The phrase “What if reality doesn’t need fixing, but your mindset does?” sticks with you because it reframes self-improvement from striving to expanding.


    The courage to stop fixing yourself. Debbie and Dave’s conversation goes into deeper discussions of the idea of rejecting the “New Year, New Me” narrative feel accessible and refreshing. It’s not about starting over but about trusting who you already are.


    Practical tools for emotional expansion Victoria’s concept of expansion and contraction isn’t just theoretical—You can apply it immediately. Whether it’s shifting from contraction into expansion or recognising when fear is guiding me toward growth, these tools feel actionable without being prescriptive..


    Timelines are arbitrary. The recurring challenge to traditional thinking about time, especially around January, leave a profound impression. It’s a reminder that transformation doesn’t require a new year or even a specific plan but instead requires bold choices and the ability to trust the process.
