Flip the Script with Vic is a sacred space for real conversations with real women 🩷 Hosted by Victoria Nielsen—intuitive healer, mama, and space-holder for the divine feminine—this podcast amplifies women’s voices through raw interviews, intimate solocasts, and unfiltered conversations on motherhood, mysticism, psychedelics, ancestral healing, spirituality, identity, and more.
What began as a personal exploration is now a communal prayer: a gathering place for cycle-breakers, mothers, mystics, creatives, witches, and wild ones redefining what it means to be a woman in today’s world.
Every episode is an invitation to remember that your voice matters. That your truth matters. Together, we walk in beauty, become the prayer, and flip the script.
Hello, hello, hello.Welcome to the Flip the Script with Vic podcast.It's your host, Victoria Nielson.I say it every week, but I'm always so excited to have these conversations.My guest today, Paige Kaufman, is an Akashic mama, a microdosing mama, a really adventurous and courageous mama, woman, human, coach, healer, that I have admired ever since I met her at a medicine retreat.God, was that 2 years ago now, Paige?Yeah.It was like May 2023?4?Yeah.3?4?Guys, time.What is time?I have no idea.Yeah, what is time?What is time?But I'm so glad you're here because we've gotten to just travel into the Akashic realm together.And I- I love what you do and who you are.So welcome for- for being here, my transformation queen.Thank you.Thank you for having me.And I love it, yeah, becauseI don't know, our work aligns and compliments each other so much, so this is an honor that uhhonored to be here and having this conversation with you.Yay.Well, so as we were talking before the podcast, you're now back home in Canada, but I really w- first, we'll share more about you and, you know, what you do of course, but I've been so interested in your courage to move your entire family to Costa Rica then you kind of moved back, like tell us what- what sparked that, like what- what allowed you to take that leap of faith?Was it your work with the Akashic records orTell me more.Yeah.It was.It was.So it happened in 2018 actually where I did go in for a journey and I saw myself and my family in Costa Rica, which is funny 'cause I've never been to Costa Rica, but I just knew, like, "Oh my gosh, we're in Costa Rica."So I just, I brushed it aside because w- I was starting my own uh, um, brick and mortar business.My husband had started a m- a business, so I was like, "Yeah, yeah.When we're older.When the kids are older or they're gone or we're retired or whatever," like a down the line kind of thing.Um, but that nudge, that like pull just never went away.It got stronger and stronger and life where we were currently living, which is where we- my husband and I were both born and raised just started to like just crumble underneath us.And it was actually my husband was like, "Well do you think this is why we're supposed to like, where we're supposed to go next?Because everything here is just like crumbling and it doesn't s- doesn't feel right anymore, it doesn't fit anyone."And I was like, "Oh.Well maybe."Um, but we weren't quite ready- I love how you even was like intuitive en- enough to think that.My husband would never have thought that.Yeah, no, he's definitely on board with all the crazy things too, so I love it.Um, but we weren't quite ready yet 'cause there was still some like mess that we had to clean up.Um, so I was like, I just, uh, was like, "Okay, so we're not ready to go to Costa Rica yet.I get it, but where are we supposed to go next 'cause it's not here.It doesn't feel like it's here because whatever here is old and stagnant.We gotta move forward."And it was out west.So it was out west in Canada, in Alberta, so we stayed there for a bit and then when we were, got to a year there, then it was like, "Okay, do we redo the rent again or do we just go?"And it was like, "No, we're going.It's time to go."And- Oh yeah.So we sold everything.Um, we got our whole lives down into like 11 totes and suitcases.Um- Oh my gosh.And you have a lot of children.Yeah, we have 3 children so we got rid of every, like it was the hardest thing to do, but it was the most liberating thing, um, to get rid of all just the stuff.Um, yeah, and then we, about a month before we were about to go to Costa Rica, my oldest, our oldest daughter came up and she's like, "Uh mom, do you k- do you mind if I don't go with you guys?"And I was like, "Oh what?"Like oh shit.Yeah.She's like, "Well it's like my last year of high school and I- I don't wanna graduate with my friends and do prom," and I was like, "Ugh.Yeah.Yeah, no, I get that.I- I understand that."And um, my whole family, my husband's family, they all live here where we're, where we are and so she moved in with my father so I knew it wasn't gonna be a big deal.She's a Virgo so I, she's already hard on herself.She doesn't need us around her.She's already that kind of personality.Um, and she had a great year here and we had a cr- a wild, crazy time in Costa Rica.Um, all the things happened.I don't even know to begin with all the things that happened.I didn't, I guess I didn't realize that your oldest didn't come but like what a bravo to you mom- Yeah, but she-to like listen though to what she needed- Mm-hmm.and to say like, "Okay, if this isn't a line for you, like that's okay.You have family.You have support here, like I want you to have those experiences."Like that's- that's huge because I think most moms maybe then would have been like, "Oh okay, let's rethink everything."And you were like, "No, I'm trusting my intuition and I'm trusting actually that you know what's best for you too because I have raised you that way to be intuitive and to speak up for yourself, you know?"Exactly, and that's the thing.Like we have always said like she gets to choose her own journey.I just didn't expect it to be so soon.Yeah.Fair.Very fair.Right?It's like, "Wow.Now I have to actually like do what I'm saying that I gotta do."I just didn't expect it to happen when you're only 17 years old.Um, but if anything it like brought our relationship even closer.Had I had forced her, she would've like, it would've broke right?And then had I stayed, maybe there would've been resentment.don't, I don't know, right?And but anyway the way it worked out, our relationship was- was amazing and it was closer than ever.We talked every day, so it was good.Oh I love that.But um, but she's also the reason why we came back so early but like not in a resentful way.Yeah.Yeah, no, no, no.'Cause what was the or- what was the original plan?Like you were gonna stay just for a year?You were gonna stay indefinitely?We were gonna try and stay indefinitely, but like- Oh okay, cool.once we got things like moving and going and built and foundations, like that was the plan right?That was the plan.That's why I got rid of everything.That's what we're thinking.But- Yeah.That's why I got it down to 11 totes which- Yeah right?shit like I can't even imagine the energy, uh, the energy like this is a complete side note but like I wonder all that energy that you moved in the physical what that did like in the Akashic realm.Ah.Wow.I never even thought of that.Right?But the lightness, true.But it gave me enough, um, energy to go through what we all, the initiation that we went through.So, it was all good.Um, but, uh, yeah.So that was the plan.Um, but of course, you know, your ego mind does not always like, it never goes as what you think it's gonna go.It's going to go exactly how it's meant to go.Um, but, uh, so fast-forward to May.This is when we went home to, 'cause I was like, "Okay, I'm not missing prom and I'm not missing graduation.Those are 2 milestones I will just not miss."And I was like, "And maybe I can convince you to come back and move with us to Costa Rica after that you're graduated."So anyway, we came home and we did the prom, we watched Graduation.It just like hit me.It's like, "Okay, it's time to come home."Like, "It's time to come home and be here for her."'Cause we still couldn't convince her to come with us.And like, again, my ego mind's like, "Oh, man.Really?"Like, "Ugh."But I know better to like fight that intuition as, right?Like when intuition tell you something to do, you, you, it's best to go with it because you're just gonna create your own struggle, your own like resistance.So I was like, "Okay, we're coming home."So I was like, okay, to my husband, like, "All right, we're, we're packing things up.We're coming home."Um, because yeah.She was turning 18.She was no longer a student.She was now quite an adult.There was, she's in that very vol, like, um, vulnerable state.It's a very vulnerable state.Yeah.Like, it's really, you know?Like- And this-what is it?A girl, not yet a woman, you know?That kind of vibe.Yeah, exactly.And they're trying to get you to like ex- the outside forces, the outside voices are trying to get you to rush things along.And, and here I'm saying, "No, slow it down."So I needed to be there for, for that.And then, um, um, what else was it?There was something else I was gonna say.But yeah.It just, oh, yeah.'Cause of the world.This world is not the world that we grew up in.Like this is just not, you know, there's so much happening.And, um, yeah.So I just knew we had to be here for her during this time and allow her that time to slow down, figure out who she is first and like how she wants to operate in the world and show up in the world, and then we'll take the steps forward.So, um, and funny enough, like again, my ego is like, "Oh my God, it's gonna feel so awful back home.It's gonna feel heavy like it did before."And wildly enough, it's, it's a total opp.Like I mean, there's still, you know, stuff going on, but, but it was actually my body was able just to go as soon as I came home.It just was able to relax and breathe again.Like it was just, it was a reaction or response that I was not expecting.Wow.So- I mean, it's beautiful that the land holds you, but also to hold yourself in that way and say like, "Okay, this is what we're doing.This is where we're going."And you have a whole new perspective now.Yeah.Costa Rica completely changed you.So- Completely.no matter, you know, you're not coming back as the, the woman who left.So it's always gonna be different.Yeah.You know, have you felt that yourSo it's interesting this is coming in and I'm gonna just trust.Do you, uh, uh, you're one that I know that looks up like ley lines and energy and information.Like do you think you had to go activate something like in Costa Rica and then like come back and bring that energy back to Canada with you?Oh, yeah.Definitely.Um, so people, people that I've met along the journey was like, "Oh, if Co- Costa Rica call, calls you, Costa Rica calls you, like buckle up, get ready.There's like activations, initiations and releasing and healing."And I was like, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.We got this.It's fine."I'm a healer.I- I- I can do this all the time.Yeah, yeah.I've been through it all already.Like I can obviously handle it.There's nothing left.There's nothing left.And, um, yeah.the moment that we touched down there, it was like foof right away.Like, so much initiations.Like, like I said, everything had to crumble.Like, everything.Even my- our marriage, like, it had to crumble to the ground.Um, and we hadAnd that's the other beautiful place that I'll always be grateful for Costa Rica, 'cause Costa Rica helped us build our marriage from the foundation up.Like, she held us.She really helped us go through some ceremony, um, together, which by the way, certain ceremonies, like, couples therapy in hours, guys.Like, hours when you're doing it intentional.I reallyI would love Will to do a ceremony with me.He- Ugh.He won't.Because I gave him mushrooms at a timeUh, anyway, it was after, like, a football game.It was not a time for him to take mushrooms and he had a very bad experience.And so after that, he's like, "No, I will never."And I'm like- Ugh.but there's so many things that are beautiful about them and you could take, like, a micro dose.I'm sorry I, like, accidentally macro dosed you.Like, my bad.Well, actually, this wasn't mushrooms we used, it was MDMA.Oh, beautiful.That we had.MDMA ceremony that just totally foof.Like, it was amazing.And funny enough though, mushrooms did not work for me over in Costa Rica.I could not get- Wow.Yeah.Like, here again, my- my ego mind was like, "Oh my God, I'm gonna have the best time with their mushrooms that are gonna be so much more potent than they are here."No, I couldn't.I- I tried 3 ceremonies and I just couldn't go.It was so wild.I wonder if- Yeah.you didn't feel safe, like- That's what I'm wondering too.Um, because that was one of the very big things there is like, I didn't realize that I had that in my body that I didn't feel safe.Mm-hmm.Because where I- ILike I said, I grew up where I grew up.Like, I've been living here my whole entire life almost 40 years.Or 40 years, what am I saying almost?Own it mama.Own it.And then, uh, um, and then as soon as I got to Costa Rica, my body just like ten straight up and just becau- it was crazy how unsafe I felt.Not thatCosta Rica is not that it's not a safe, like, it's a very lovely place to be and people are so friendly.But again, I think it was just something, again, I had to see within myself that I didn't know was there, and I would never- Mm-hmm.have known it was there if I stayed where I was.I didn't- Absolutely.It's cra- I wonder too, like, uh, how much of that is ancestral or has been passed on because- Mm-hmm.I even remember, it's funny now, it was Costa Rica, the first time I was gonna go in 2021, I had these weird feelings in my body about being trafficked.Like, it was very strange.Like, I- before I went, I had, like, a couple nights where I had dreams and, like, just weird feelings in my body where, like, I was afraid to get, like, a taxi or a cab at the airport.But then, like, I went, and I did it, it was totally fine.Like, you know, like, there was nothing wrong, but I was like, "Whoa, what is my body remembering or not remembering?"You know, maybe my- Yeah.subconscious brain is, like, making something up, but, like, what's going on here?Because yeah, I felt immediately like something's gonna happen to me.Yeah.Yeah.Like, it was wild.Like, but if you didn't, you know, push yourself to go there, you would never have realized that that was within you or within your line that needed to be healed, right?It was justIt was wild.And again, as beautiful and everything that I was, my body had a lot of catching up to do, because it was- Mm-hmm.it was in freeze mode there as well.Um, I was pushing it hard thinking like, "Oh, I gotta "You know?I- I- I'm only here for this time, like, but- Yeah.Exactly.like that kind of?Well- Yeah.not exactly.But, like, I was thinking that Costa Rica, I would just, like, drop so much weight, because I was eating healthy all the time and I would be- Interesting.sweating all the time.And I did, like, go up mountains all the time and things like that.But because my body was in lockdown actually, because it was soThat's how unsafe my body thought I was.And now back- back home, remember I said like, my body was able to go ah.And so now I'm, like, kind of having to catch up with that, 'cause it's- it's collected a lot of heavy metals and things like that, and my adrenals were so stressed and shot.Mm-hmm.Um, so I'm doing that.But it's justIt's soI guess I'm saying that because it's not everythingLike allI don't know.I guess all, um, initiations and processes and journeys that you go through, they're just, they're not all sunshine and roses.Yes.But there is, like, a bigger reasoning behind it.Like, there is, like, I- f- like you said, I- I feel like a totally different person though.Even though a lot took place and a lot happened, um, I walked away from, like, I walked away a new identity, a new person.Like, it's just wild.Yeah.And the- theWell, and the relationship with your body it sounds like, you know?Mm-hmm.Especially if you were going- My husband.with these notions, you know, of like, "Oh, this is gonna make me fit."You know?And then you- Mm-hmm.kind of had to come to those stories maybe, right?And do some rewrites of your own of, like, oh, actually that's not, that's not what it is.Fitness is not this, you know, outside destination, you know?Yeah.It was another- And then you know.truth that I didn't realize.Like, when I was talking to a profes- like a health professional, uh, she's like, "Yeah, you working hard is that- was actually the worst thing you could have did."Like, 'cause your adrenals were screaming that they just wanted rest and relaxation.And I was like, "Oh."But there was thisYeah.But I guess I'm about to say that because yes, coast- moving to Costa Rica, moving your whole family there, yeah, it sounds romantic and amazing and, but there is just, there's a lot that happens when you do things like that.And, but it's all beautiful in the end, and I wouldn't change it.Like, I could sit here and say some wild things went down and we went through a lot, but I wouldn't change it for, for anything.Like, I feel more liberated than I've ever felt before.More confident in than I've ever felt before.My gifts are like, pshh, so online than they ever have been before.So there was so much to take away.I love that.And share, I mean, share more with us about like the gifts coming online.So when we met at this beautiful medicine retreat, uh, with Mushroom Mamasita, Paige, you were a little shy to share some like light language and things, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever and actually really awakened something within me, like when we did kind of that session together, where I don't know that I necessarily ch- channel it as much now, but like it opened my throat in like a really beautiful way.That's something that you've always known and had, but like what kind of new expansion has occurred since this, this next level of activation?Well, I think it is the same.It is the same, but I'm able to hold it differently.I'm, I'm ableOoh.to see it for what it is, where before, um, when I took people through these things, I was like, "Oh yeah."I don't, like you said, like I was a little shy about it.I was like, "Oh, that's just a thing I, I do.I kind of just do this thing and this is what happens."And then now, it's like, because I've, um, encountered, I've just been working with so many people and now I have this, like I said, this more embodied truth happening now.Yeah.It's like, oh, this is what I have to bring.This is how I can shift and move some paradigm shit, so let's, Yes.let's go.Let's do this.Let's do the damn thing.Right.Let's do the damn thing.That's right.So how can, you know, what, what offers do you have in the world right now?How can people work with you?Are you holding space for microdosing and mushrooms?Just Akashic Records?Like what's, what's near and dear to your heart right now?Uh, so right now, I am still, I am doing, offering the one-on-one Akashic sessions.Um, and then come in the new year, I'm going to be offering the Inner Oracle year where we take a deep dive into, um, into all the things.We're gonna deep dive into the Akashics, into the human design, into your intuition, into your gifts, um, into the gene keys, just and pull up who you truly are, what your soul's blueprint is, what your soul's essence is, what your authenticity is, bring it all online, begin to embody it with strength and confidence, and show up the way that you're meant to show up here.It took me way too goddamn long to get here, so I really want to help people to get there a lot quicker than I got here.Yes.Especially like- And you just have like magic about you, Paige, like truly.Oh, thanks.It's fun.So, you know, we're coming, this, by the time this episode airs, it'll be kind of early 2026.I don't know if you've seen any rumblings in the Akash or just in the readings that you've been doing for people, are there any kind of collective trends coming, anything that you're seeing or a message that's coming through right now that feels important to share?Uh, yeah.It just, it feels like they really want you to come back to your authenticity.So a lot of my readings right now were going back to childhood, were going back to your inner child, 'cause she has, she or he, has so much to say and the simplicity of it is just amazing.What I really loved is like they show you their, the inner child, um, is showing them what they used to love to do, how they used to show up in the world before everybody, before all the noise.And then they realize, wow, it was that simple.It was that easy.It wasn't over complicated.It had nothing to do with the outside things like, like money or success or, um, titles, right?It just was.Um, and so I feel like that is a lot, is one of the biggest messages that just keeps coming up, is just come, tapping back into authenticity and that inner child knows exactly what that is.So just keep coming back to her or him.And we, it's so interesting too because I feel like every time I do inner child work, she always looks a certain age.And it's because, you know, they say that that's the age that, not you're emotionally stunted at, but that you maybe had some trauma or things that occurred that, uh- Mm-hmm.kind of kept you from emotionally progressing.And yeah, it doesn't have to be trauma with a capital T, it could be anything.Right.You know, that keeps you at that age.And so, I love working with her 'cause she has little blunt, blunt bangs all the way across.And like, her little long-haired pigtails, and-she's just so precious.Um, and I've really- Aw.started using that actually with, with everyone else.Like, you know, you talked about redoing the foundation of your marriage.I feel like Will and I have done a lot of that this last year, and it kept coming back to me envisioning like, his inner child.Mm-hmm.And like that, the little boy in him.And being like, "Well, how can I be mad at that sweet little boy?Like, he just, he doesn't know any better, you know?"Or- Yeah.that's just- And that's-something he's stuck at, you know?That's been a huge part of our relationship thing too is like, seeing each other as their wounded inner child and why they're the ones that have been running the show the whole time, right?And then, like, oh, I see it, 'cause you can see it with compassion instead of like, the rrr coming in, like the mad mother.Why are you doing this?Right?The mad mother trying to fix everything, and then when you see it from the wounded inner child, or the, for me, the wounded little boy, it's like, "Oh, I see.Okay, well now let's just switch this paradigm.Let's just switch this programming.""And uh, let's rewrite this."Yeah, 'cause it can always be rewritten, you know?And I- Yeah.Yeah.And like, I, I truly believe that and, you know, we've talked before about the, the shift in things that occur in the Akashic realm and how that makes adjustments and change on the physical, and the same with the physical in the Akashic realm.I feel like you've been on such a deep path of evolution and evolving and transforming so quickly.Do you find that your work with the Akashic and like, how you connect has shifted at all?Or is it still coming to you the same?If that makes sense.And I ask because recently, it's been coming to me that like, we need to be working with our Akashic records on Earth.Mm-hmm.Instead of the one that's like, in the heavens, because we've been working with that one for so long, that's great.But like, there's a whole missing piece of our Akashic record that like, needs to be turned online for us to fully like, heal Mother Earth.I don't know if you've received anything like that or, or what you think of that.Yeah, no, that makes complete sense 'cause it's been up in the ethers for so long, so many dimensions away that it, we need to, and that I'm, that's why, um, I think it's important for a lot of us to learn how to tap into our Akashic records.'Cause the more of us that do, the more we can start like, bringing it down so that it's, you know, it's, like you said, it's down here, it's not just up there.Um, if that makes sense.No, it does because-we're living here on Earth, you know?We're not living up there.And that's what's happening.Um, even though sometimes we think we are.Is that I don't even think I need the prayer or anything anymore.I think it's just like, boom, it's on.And the more that we tap, and I think that's just it, the more that we tap in and we're part of that frequency, it's just starting to be, like you said, here on Earth with us all the time.Yeah, we're a living embodiment of it, truly.Yeah, exactly.Um, but in order to do that, just more of us have to remember that we can all tap into it.And then not only remember, but trusting it too, right?Because that's the other piece to it, is, is um, is trusting it, um, so that you, that, that trust muscle is like, really strengthened and online, and that connection is there, so it doesn't even become a second guess anymore.Yeah.When you hear, "Go to Costa Rica," you just listen and- Yeah, yeah, yep.May like, upside, up, like, turn your world upside down, but it's, it's exactly what's meant to go down.Right?It's, yeah, I love that the Akashic records give you the guidance that you need in the moment.How can folks get their one-on-one session scheduled with you?Um, anything else you're offering right now?I feel like we kind of tangent-ed.But if there's anything else you want to shout out- No.and how folks can reach you before we close out.Yeah, no, they can find me on Instagram, um, Paige Kaufman.Well, _Paige_Kaufman_.Um, or you can definitely email me, um, uh, or I have my website, www.paigekauffman.com.But it's under construction, but you know, you can still go peruse around it.Coming soon.I love that.Coming soon with a new identity again.Yes.Oh, my God.That seems to be the thing.I got this, and I'm someone new again.I got this, oh, and I'm someone new again.It just feels like a forever revolving door.Mm-hmm.Fibonacci spiral always- Yeah.just deepening and deepening and deepening.I'm starting to think like, I might just like, say screw the sales pages and screw the websites because it seems like it's forever like, changing.Like, I can't seem to keep up because I'm forever changing, soI love that.New paradigm.We're, we're- That's right.writing things like, through telepathy here afterThat's right.Feel the energy.Don't worry about reading all the shit.Just feel it.Yes.Well, if you're feeling Paige's energy, please, please go book a session with her.She taught me things about the Akashic records and expanded my knowledge and is always just, a wealth of wisdom.So, thank you so much for being here with us, Paige.I- Thank you for having
