Speaker A [00:00:02]:
Welcome to flip the script with Vic, your weekly pep talk to expand and shift your perspective. I'm your host, Victoria Nielsen. Together we'll unwind all the things you thought you knew and awaken to what's possible when you flip the script and take control of your own life. Are you ready? Let's jump on in. Hi, loves. Welcome to another episode of Flip the script with Vic. I'm your host, Victoria Nielsen. Spring is in the air, and I am so freaking excited.
Speaker A [00:00:33]:
I love the changing of the seasons, and the energy shift is something that I really feel every year at this time of year because the doldrums of winter really get to me. If you've been listening to the podcast, you know that I've talked about our inner seasons and the need to follow those seasons. But of course, we follow those seasons externally as well. And while everyone else was setting New Year's resolutions in January, I said no, because that is still winter. That is still a time of hibernation and grounding and reflection. And my new year is really in the spring, when things actually begin growing and transforming and moving. And not that they weren't growing and transforming and moving during winter, but they were doing it all underground, right? That seedling is underground, cracking open and growing its roots and nourishing itself. And so if you have been growing your roots for the past couple of months, I applaud you.
Speaker A [00:01:42]:
And even if you haven't, now is your chance to renew and reestablish those roots for yourself. I've been thinking a lot about this abundance, energy that's out there right now and how you don't really even have to do anything to harness it. I think a lot of times in the spiritual realm, we get really caught up in having to do rituals for every season or for every full moon, or for whatever energetic thing is happening in the cosmos. And we think that we're going to miss out if we don't take advantage, if we don't do something exactly on Lionsgate or on the spring equinox or any of these really beautiful and powerful days. Just by living, you are experiencing their energy. You're not missing out on anything. You don't have to do anything special. You can, if you feel called, to go deeper into the wisdom of that season or into a specific ritual, but you absolutely do not have to.
Speaker A [00:02:50]:
The simplest and easiest thing that you can do right now, in this season of spring and of life, is just figure out what you want to say yes to. That's it. You don't have to do a special candle ritual or dance under the moon or any of those things. Unless, of course, you want to, because dancing under the moon is always fun. But just taking the time to figure out what do you want to say yes to in this season of life? Because everything is energy, right? And the energetic frequency of yes is so potent that the minute you say yes to something, you are automatically in that energy and in a portal almost, of whatever metamorphosis and transformation is going to occur from saying yes to that energy. So, for example, I have a retreat coming up in April. Any of the women that have signed up are already experiencing that portal of transformation and energy. Even though we're not on the retreat yet, we won't be in Mexico until April.
Speaker A [00:03:56]:
Which, side note, it's not too late to join us. If you want to come from April eigth to the twelveth, we would love to have you. But the second that you say yes to these experiences, you're opening yourself up to their energy, and you're already beginning this transformational process just by saying yes. That's it. You don't have to do anything other than that. And it is such a powerful and potent frequency because it opens your heart to anything being possible in that realm, right? So you say, yes, I want to be a public speaker. The possibilities are limitless to what that could look like for you. You say, yes, I want to go on a retreat.
Speaker A [00:04:41]:
The amount of healing that you experience is limitless and entirely up to you. And so during this season of renewal and rebirth, I encourage you to just revisit perhaps some of the things that you have said yes to, or maybe even said no to. And let's re up that energy. So what do I mean by that? I mean that you're doubling down on your dreams in the sense that if you said yes at some point to your healing, perhaps, okay, you've been doing some things. Maybe you've started a daily practice, or you are bringing more awareness to how you talk to yourself and your self talk. What can you do over these next couple of months to even go even further into that? So what else can you say yes to that is going to support that dream? And if you take internal stock and you realize that that thing that you said yes to doesn't really resonate anymore. Beautiful. Now you get to use the energetic capacity of no to erect boundaries.
Speaker A [00:05:49]:
Because the more that we have boundaries, the more that we are able to funnel the energy where we want it to go. That is the purpose of boundaries. Yes, we like to say that boundaries give us more energy and make us better people and make us clear communicators. Those are all of the side effects of having boundaries. But truly, the reason you have boundaries is to direct the flow of energy where you want it to go. You say, no, I don't want it to go over here. Yes, I want it to go over here. And so something as simple as saying yes and no has such power for your energy and for where you want your energy to go, for lack of a better way to describe it.
Speaker A [00:06:34]:
And now is the perfect time to decide to make that list, to say, yes, I want to go after these things. And no, I don't want to go after these other ones. Because then you are making yourself a clear channel for those things to actually happen to appear before you. Because, as I always say, the universe needs your guidance. We are humans. We have free will. We make choices in every single second. And every time we make a choice, whether it's a yes or a no, we're telling the universe what we want.
Speaker A [00:07:05]:
And so without that, without the balance of the masculine and the feminine, things don't move as easily. And so I think that's important to talk about, too, that we think that being in flow, right, means that, oh, we're just going with it. We're saying yes to everything. We're just going to see where life takes us. Absolutely not. You are in the driver's seat of your own life, and your no's are just as powerful as your yeses, because that's going to show the energy where it needs to flow. The feminine needs the balance and the structure of the masculine to feel held and supported enough to surrender and receive. Because if you are not surrendering and receiving, you are trying to achieve, and you are trying to grasp at something and you are putting energy out to get that thing.
Speaker A [00:08:01]:
And being in your feminine flow is not about an output of energy, but rather being held and being in the right place to receive that energy to have the opportunities and the invitations just drop into your lap. For example, Friday I was a guest on a podcast, and I was in the exact right space to be able to tell her yes, I want to contribute to her upcoming program. That was not something we had talked about before. It happened organically after we recorded the podcast. But I put the masculine structure in place, saying that I have the capacity to film these meditations for her. I've built it into my schedule already to be filming meditations as part of what I do every month for my monthly membership, the portal collective. So adding six more meditations is not a problem. I can do it, and I can do it quickly.
Speaker A [00:09:00]:
She needs them. Whatever. By the end of the month, that was a no brainer. It was like, yeah, I will totally do this. And not just because it aligns with my dreams of wanting to grow my community and wanting to help and heal and reach more people, but because I had the foundations and the structures to support me. So it didn't feel so scary to say yes to this thing, because I was already supported in the things that I was doing. So that's what I mean by saying yes. When you first start saying yes, right? You may not have these masculine structures in place to support you, but taking the time right now to figure out what is this dream that you want to go after, this thing that you want to do, and then you can begin building them into your life.
Speaker A [00:09:43]:
And you make room, an energetic capacity, by saying yes and no, because we all have a finite amount of energy, right? Especially as busy moms, you can't say yes to everything. So you have to start cultivating the life of your dreams based on how this energy feels in your body and checking in. I think that's so important. You can't just say, yes, I want to do this thing, and just go from there. The next week, check in. Is that still something that I want to do? Is that still something that lights me up? Is that still something that feels good? Because this is a season of metamorphosis. And as humans, we are always changing and evolving, and our environments are always changing and evolving. And so the people that we are today are completely different than the people we're going to be tomorrow, the day after yesterday, et cetera.
Speaker A [00:10:33]:
And so maybe things don't line up anymore, and we have to give ourselves permission for that to be okay, to let a dream die, perhaps to make room for something new. There is always something both blooming and dying inside each of us. And we have to be okay with that cycle of rebirth and renewal, because if not, you're going to be carrying a lot of old excess energy that maybe is no longer in alignment with you anymore. And then it's going to be really hard to say yes to this new dream that is bubling up inside of you, because your whole world is oriented around this old dream, and you didn't check in along the way to see if that was even still something that you wanted. I think that's why people wake up sometimes and are like, what the fuck? My life is not what I want it to be. How did I get here? Because they're sleepwalking through life and they're not taking the time to check in with themselves. So this is a natural check in point of the seasons. As things are changing outside, they should also be changing inside.
Speaker A [00:11:36]:
And so taking the time to see, like, yeah, does it still line up? Is that what I really want to do is so important? And coming back to that idea of, like, it's as simple as saying yes. You got to set yourself up for that. Yes. So that maybe it doesn't seem so scary. Right? Like saying yes to yourself, perhaps going on a retreat for the first time can feel really fucking uncomfortable and scary. And so you're going to have a couple of yeses like that. That as it relates to last week's episode about energetic capacity, if you haven't listened to it, please go take a listen. But I talk about kind of stretching your energetic edges.
Speaker A [00:12:14]:
And so there should always be a good mix of things that are stretching your energetic edges and things that are just such a no brainer because you've already set yourself up to receive them and to experience them. And it is not so analytical. The way that I'm talking about it is very logical. Right? Like, you're making this list and you're making it happen, but it's that masculine and that feminine. It's both together. You need the logic of the mind, but then you also need just the magic of life. And my Kundalini yoga teacher, Guru Singh, he likes to call it magic Mawgic and logic lawgic, and he says that the logic is the masculine and the magic is the feminine magic. And you need both.
Speaker A [00:12:59]:
You need a bit of planning, but also a bit of dreaming. And I feel like that's how I design my life. And I'm really thankful for my husband, who grounds me sometimes because he is the logical planner. But as a Taurus, I do have a bit of that logical planner in me as well. And I make sure that I am supported before I take the leap of faith. Some people can just take the leap of faith. That's not me. And so it's okay if that's not you too.
Speaker A [00:13:26]:
If you need a little bit of setup or padding, right, you need to know that maybe there's like a cushion that's going to catch you when you fall or you're preparing for multiple outcomes instead of just like going blah universe, catch me. It's okay if you're not that person. You need both. You need to be able to dream, but you need to be able to come back down to earth and hold those dreams. And so I just encourage you, whatever it is that you want to go after, you can absolutely do it at this time, but set yourself up for success by having a plan and taking the time to check in with yourself and make a note in your calendar that you want to check in again, perhaps at the summer solstice. I will say that is one good thing about these energetic portals or times of the year that perhaps get really hyped up is that they just become really good reminders of like, okay, I'm going to check in again with myself at the summer solstice. That's three months from now, whatever it is. Okay, I'm going to check again at the fall equinox and what have you, but you can make it as simple or as elaborate as you want to, and I think you have to make it as approachable for you as you need to so that you do it.
Speaker A [00:14:40]:
Okay? So if you creating a full ritual with an altar and candles and special music is going to be what excites you to do this inner work and to come up with this list and this plan and these things, then go for it. But if that's too intimidating, if that seems like too much and it's a coffee date with yourself when you're just sitting down, drinking your coffee, writing some notes in your notes app on your phone, that is just as beautiful. Okay, just because it's not the Instagram aesthetic or something that you can video and capture and share with others, that's okay. There are things in life that are meant just for you. And I think that's really important to remember, especially in this digital age, that you have to keep some of the magic for yourself. You cannot give everything away. Everything is not for everyone else's consumption. There are some things that are meant just for you, and keeping them sacred to you makes them even more magical and even more valuable.
Speaker A [00:15:42]:
And then you don't get screwed up in the logic of the mind having to explain to someone else why you're doing something, because then that defeats the purpose entirely, right? Like you're doing this to follow your heart, to follow those intuitive nudges and notions that are meant just for you. And so you don't need to explain them to anybody else. You don't need to have anyone else inside your head while you're going through this ten step process or whatever it is that you're doing, because that's going to take you out of the magic and that's going to take you out of this bubble, this portal of, I was going to say of, not disbelief, but you're dispelling reality a little bit because we all have to be a little dululu, right, to go after our dreams. I love that, by the way. I'm probably too old to be using that term, but I love it. We all have to be a little bit delulu because that's how we can do these things that have never been done before, have never been dreamed up before. There's a dream inside each of you that has never been done before. I don't care what it is.
Speaker A [00:16:47]:
It is important that it see the light of day, that it come out in the world, that it be shared with others. And so whatever you can do to nurture and support it in this season of renewal and rebirth, I encourage you to. And if you would like some extra support uncovering what it is I love working with women one on one as they figure out their next step in life and maybe reassess or reestablish some of those dreams. This is a perfect time for one on one work with a coach or a guide to help you if you're feeling a little bit lost. So I would invite you to explore that with me if that sounds interesting to you. And I've got the return to you retreat. April eigth through the twelveth in El Sargento, Mexico. It's not too late to sign up and say yes to yourself.
Speaker A [00:17:34]:
You deserve to go after your dreams. And this is going to be a week of expansion and transformation and sisterhood like you've never experienced. Because that's the other important thing, right? The things that you're saying yes to now, those opportunities are not going to be in front of you forever. And any opportunity that you're currently experiencing. Yes, you may get something similar in the future, but it's not going to be the exact same as the opportunity that you have in front of you right now. And so you're going to miss out on some potential magic just because you feel like you're not ready. You're more ready than you even know. And your dreams are ready to take flight this season if you just believe in yourself enough to say yes.
Speaker A [00:18:19]:
So I love you guys. I feel like I could chat forever, but I will see you next week. Please continue to rate like subscribe, review the podcast, share it with a friend. The more that we can get others to listen to this amazing free resource, the bigger this community will be. And that's the goal, to help and to heal as many as possible. Thanks so much for being here with me, you guys. I love you. Be good to one another.
Speaker A [00:18:48]:
I'll see you next week.
