Victoria [00:00:01]:
Welcome to Cycle Breakers, a special limited podcast series by Victoria Nielsen designed to support you in your journey of breaking cycles and creating a new path for yourself, your family and humanity. In honor of Akashic Awakening, my group program for women who want to rewrite negative narratives and get in touch with their own energy again. You ready? Let's dive on in. Hello, loves. I am so excited to be here with you for another episode of this limited podcast series, Cycle Breaker, in honor of my signature group program, Akashic Awakening. So I thought today it would be really fun to share just more about me so that you guys can get to know who is holding space for you and also see a little bit of a behind the scenes, because my intuitive and awakening journey is really what inspired every single thing we do in Akashic Awakening and the reason that we travel from the root to the throat. There were some very specific stories and wounds and contracts that I had to come to Earth to move through and rewrite. And they are my kind of core wounds, if you will.

Victoria [00:01:15]:
And really why I'm so passionate about this work, because I continue to deepen into different layers of myself and seeing these patterns that you sign up for before you even come here. And it can seem kind of out of nowhere or like there's no clear path forward sometimes. And I really wanted to share my journey in case it reminds me of yours and to let you know that all of the ups and downs have an ultimate purpose, and that is your healing and your learning and your growth. You are a spiritual seeker. That's what you came to Earth for, was to experience these things. And it started before you even got here. So we make soul contracts before we even come here with other beings, perhaps with your parents, with your siblings, with the souls of some of your best friends, maybe some of your frenemies. There's something going on between each of us, and those relationships and those connections are part of our life purpose and our life path here.

Victoria [00:02:22]:
And so in Akashic Awakening, we really focus on working with our healed ancestors. And that is all about the root chakra. To me, that is all about safety. That is all about making sure that you feel secure enough in who you are to be able to bloom. Right? And so my entire life, I thought I wasn't intuitive, and I. I bet if you're listening, maybe you are the same. And I thought I wasn't intuitive because my intuition didn't look a certain way thought because it didn't look exactly like my mom's, who she has dreams that come True. She's very clairvoyant.

Victoria [00:03:03]:
I wasn't connected. And I also feel like part of my soul journey was to come back to the God within me, the goddess within all of us. Because I really shied away from anything related to spirituality for a really long time. And there wasn't a particular reason for it beyond that. I've had previous experiences in other lifetimes that I needed to uncover and relearn so that I could come back into right relationship with myself and with the divinity within me. And one of the very first experiences I ever had was actually with one of my unhealed ancestors. And this is way before I even had, like, a spiritual awakening. This was in college, actually.

Victoria [00:03:48]:
No, early 20s. I had just graduated college. I was living in New York City, and my deceased grandfather channeled me, like, entered my body and was so angry. And granted, I was super drunk. That was the only way I would have allowed, like, his energy in. And that's why. I mean, that's why they call it spirits, right? Because you're able to be taken over by something else. And so he was so angry, and.

Victoria [00:04:15]:
And I was just raging. I was awful to my mom and my boyfriend at the time. And finally we were, like, taking a cab home. I remember looking out the window, going over. I think it was the Queensborough Bridge. And I just said, I don't want to be forgotten. And I felt this energy leave my body, like, out of the top of my head, like, poof. And I just started bawling.

Victoria [00:04:37]:
And I knew in that moment that it was squeaky, that he had come through. He didn't want to be forgotten. He had a very angry death. In real life, he committed suicide, so it would make sense that he would come through. So, like, angry and unhealed, and, you know, it. It terrified me. And I think he was trying to help get me off the path of an old karmic loop. Because a lot of things happened in New York in my most recent past life that.

Victoria [00:05:05]:
That I will talk about when I get to the solar plexus, because that story is really about taking my power back. And every single person listening, you have a karmic loop like that that you need to cut off in this lifetime to take your power back. Okay? And it's possible, and we'll do it together as part of Akashic awakening. So really, you know, realizing that an unhealed ancestor, like, their energy is. Is just shitty. And so now that I consciously work with my ancestors, I only called in the healed ones because they are High vibrational enough, they have the right energy and the energetic capacity to be able to support me, my dreams, my wants, my healing. And I know that any healing that I'm doing here right now will help heal some of those unhealed ancestors. And every time I ask them to step forward in ceremony or to help me in some of my sacred work, more of them step forward because of the healing that I'm doing.

Victoria [00:06:02]:
And the same will happen to you as you meet some of your ancestral guides and spirit team when we do some shamanic connection rituals as part of root chakra week. And so, you know, that's kind of how it started for me, I would say. But I didn't have a real spiritual awakening until I had a miscarriage in 2018. And if you've been around, a lot of you have heard this story, but this is all sacral chakra to me. This is all mother wound work. This is all that deep, womanly work that we all need to be doing. And through holding my healing the mother wound containers, and through healing and doing my right of the womb ceremonies, which we do as part of Akashic Awakening, I've started to ask questions around my birth and my mother's birth and things like that that I don't think we talk about enough because we were energetically a part of our grandmothers right when our grandmother was carrying our moms. Women are born with the same amount of eggs.

Victoria [00:07:06]:
Like, we don't produce more eggs in our lifetime. So the exact eggs that were created inside your mother when she was in your grandmother's womb was you. One of those eggs was you. So you're feeling all that energy that your grandmother felt that your mom felt, and especially during the birthing process. I find with a lot of my clients that when we start to talk about our birth stories, we start to unpack things that energetically were like, the start of our lives that we didn't even realize. So for me, my mom was born in the amniotic sac, and it was kind of this, like, lore in my family that she would die if you threw a piece of it away, because my great grandmother kept it. And my great grandmother is totally a bruja, by the way. I didn't know that growing up, but now when I look back at things like this, like, she kept my mother's amniotic sack piece.

Victoria [00:07:55]:
Like, of course she's a witch, but she swears if it ever gets thrown away that my mom will die. So we've kept it. We still have it. Because I I'm not gonna attempt fate and throw it away and see what happens. But because of that, my mom wanted me to be born in the sack. And it was kind of a big deal when the nurse broke her water and I wasn't. And it's just the story that's been told, like, throughout my entire lifetime. And again, this kind of taught me that, oh, I'm not intuitive, I wasn't born in this mystical sack like my mom was.

Victoria [00:08:26]:
And, oh, that, that must have missed me because the. The sack got popped. And really what I've come to find out, this last year when I was holding a retreat in Mexico, a medicine woman there shared with me. I signed up for a contract of suffering that my mom was trying to force me to be born in the sack because she didn't want to come to Earth. And that suffering and that angst and that, like, I don't want to be here, energy of her birth carried all the way to mine, and we had to energetically cut that and allow me to be reborn together. We did an entire rebirth ceremony. And that's part of the reclaiming right of my body, of my womb space, of my own stories. We all carry trauma in our womb spaces as women, even if we haven't birthed physical children.

Victoria [00:09:21]:
The womb is a space of creativity, of love and abundance. But men have been putting their anger there for centuries. We have been carrying the anger of our ancestors there for centuries. And so it's no wonder we carry weight there. We have hard periods we don't even know or even connected to our periods, perhaps. And so we talk a lot about that during sacral chakra week of Akashic awakening, of getting more in tune with our inner seasons and our cycle so that we can take control of our own lives and our own energy. And so I could go on and on about the sacral chakra and cycles that I have found there, but. But really that reminds me that there are cycles from birth that we are trying to rewrite and that have carried over from other generations that aren't even ours.

Victoria [00:10:10]:
And when we get to the solar plexus. Right. I talked about that other karmic cycle in New York. So there's. You have more than one cycle that you're here to break. You have quite a few, perhaps. And that cycle in New York was tied to my most recent past life. And our solar plexus, as you know, is the energetic center of the body.

Victoria [00:10:31]:
That's the power center of the body. That's where all of our go, go Go. Energy, our internal qi, our fire lives. And I was missing a big piece of it because I was allowing this cycle to continue when I lived in the city, and it was a cycle of destruction. Essentially, I was cheating on my college boyfriend, which was exactly what I had done in a previous life. And I was also doing a lot of things that were behaviorally not me, but I could see how they were gonna get like. Like they were gonna spiral out fast. Like, I was definitely partying too much.

Victoria [00:11:08]:
I was not being honest. I was really unhappy. And my most recent past life, I lived in New York, and I was unhappy, and I stalked women, and I got a venereal disease. And, like, I died by myself. And I carried that fear of abandonment and into this lifetime. You know, my. My dad left when I was little. We still have a great relationship now.

Victoria [00:11:34]:
But to not physically have your father leaves a big abandonment wound. It did in my life. And I could see how these cycles of abandonment were playing out until I decided to make a change. So I decided to move from New York City to Birmingham, Alabama, of all places. And everyone always questions why. And it was because I knew. I knew that my soul wanted more. And I had to have the courage to take the leap of faith to just do it.

Victoria [00:12:00]:
I didn't know a soul. I found a job, and I went for it. It was so fucking hard. I remember my grandparents lived in Montgomery at the time. And so all in one weekend. I had to find an apartment and get a car, and I just sobbed, like, the entire weekend. It was. It was so hard for me as, like, a young woman at 24, to feel like this dream of always being in a certain city was crumbling.

Victoria [00:12:26]:
My relationship at the time was crumbling. Like, it was like a dark night of the soul tower moment, for sure. But because I allowed myself to go through it, and I listened to the whispers of my intuition that said, I need to go somewhere else. I need to get myself out of this karmic cycle, this karmic loop. The universe rewarded me. Within a month of moving there, I met my now husband. We basically, we had, like, two dates in a row, and then we went to a Mardi Gras ball together, and then I moved in, essentially. So the universe rewards you when you're ready to be done with your own bullshit, when you're ready to break the cycle, when you're ready to try something new.

Victoria [00:13:06]:
You know, a lot of these behaviors are unconscious. They're coming from things that are buried in your DNA that energetically you're bringing forward. And so you have got to move them through the body. And that's why every single week in Akashic awaken doing different rituals. We're connecting with the records, we're moving this energy because you are your Akashic record. And the more that you can align yourself on the energetic field, you're going to become aligned on the physical field. You're going to see those changes and those shifts in your real life when you make those shifts and transformations in the Akashic realm. So that was solar plexus, all those lessons, right, of, of power and taking my power back.

Victoria [00:13:48]:
And I have felt that shift since I released that of suffering in April of 2024. My life has, I mean, I don't want to say 180 because my life was amazing, but I've been able to share my gifts more. I'm not afraid to be seen. I'm not afraid to be who the fuck I am and have more fun in my own life. And, and that brings me to the heart. You know, so many of us have walls around our heart and, and I'm absolutely one of them. I, you know, had to move. I grew up in a very small town, Key West, Florida.

Victoria [00:14:21]:
And I was there until fifth grade and we moved sixth grade year to Phoenix, Arizona. And actually I really loved Phoenix. And when we had to move back a year later because my mom financially wasn't able to afford it anymore, that crushed me. I had so many friends. Like, I don't want to say that I was popular, but I had a lot of friends and I loved living out there. And then I moved back to the small town of Key west where people know me but don't know me, right, because as sixth graders you're forming your own new clicks, like you're finding new friends. A lot of kids that weren't going to school together because they were at different elementary schools are now at the same school. So coming back in seventh grade was really hard.

Victoria [00:15:01]:
Girls were so mean to me. Granted, I didn't make it easy on them. I was definitely like a boyfriend stealer and thought I was all that and just didn't care. But I also feel like that was a Persona I put on because I didn't feel accepted and I didn't feel loved and I didn't know where I fit in. And that affects your heart, that affects your ability to receive, to give love, to feel like you are worthy of love. And I have so many instances in my life of where I felt that unworthiness. I, you know, had a Terrible disordered eating in college. And, you know, just like many of you have had to work through and face some of these demons, if you will.

Victoria [00:15:46]:
But it's why we're here, so that we can soften our hearts and, and witness one another. And so a heart chakra week of Akashic awakening is about that you're gonna get to actually give a message to another woman in the group and share from your heart and see that your intuitive gifts matter, that you matter, and that by you connecting to your intuition, you can actually not only help yourself, but help so many others. And it really, I believe, helps you kind of maybe get over that, that fear of being seen in the imposter syndrome, because then you start to realize that you're being of service. And when you're of service, then nothing else matters. And it all flows abundantly to you because you're doing it out of love and you're doing it out of compassion. And the Akashic records are love. They. They embody the most balanced perspective, but a lot of the time it's super high vibrational, like the frequency of love.

Victoria [00:16:39]:
And so we get to the throat chakra and we stop at the throat chakra and don't do third eye and crown very specifically because we're doing so much work in the lower chakras. You're. You're going to automatically open the upper chakras, and the akashic records are connected to the ethers and the crown. So you're. You're really working with it every single time that you open the records. And same for the third eye. So with the throat, you know, it's all about finding our authentic voice. And we're going to do some mantra meditations and.

Victoria [00:17:10]:
And I have really found my voice over the years, the more that I have allowed myself to speak. So starting a podcast, my. My normal podcast, Flip the Script with Vic, was really huge for me because again, I kind of thought I didn't have anything to say or who am I to do this thing? But our own vocal cords, our own frequency is so healing to our bodies energetically. And as a little girl, there were so many times that I felt not listened to. And being able to listen to myself now is the. The best gift that I could have ever given myself. And that is part of my life's work. And my legacy is to help women find their voice and to feel safe enough to express it, because that is truly our purpose.

Victoria [00:18:03]:
Your purpose is not like a job or a title or a thing. You're here to do your purpose is just to be the fully expressed version of yourself. And, and that to me is a true awakening, is when you can be that version of yourself that you're not hiding behind masks, that you're not different people in different situations. You are the same throughout because you have integrated some of your shadows, your trauma, these things that have happened for you and not to you. And so as we get deeper into this podcast series, I'll talk more about specifically like my story with the Akashic records and why I think it's so amazing. And, and we'll talk more about some of the big things that I have healed that I think are paramount for you to be able to live a whole and healthy and balanced life and not even just like a basic life, like a really good life. So I hope you'll join me on this ride. My fellow cycle breakers.
