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.
Welcome to Flip the Script with Vic, a sacred space for honest, unfiltered, and sometimes taboo conversations between women walking the path of truth, healing, and soul remembrance. What started as my personal exploration has become a communal prayer, a podcast devoted to amplifying women's stories in their own words. I'm your host, Victoria Nielsen, intuitive healer, mama, and space holder for the divine feminine. Here, we gather as cycle breakers, mothers, mystics, creatives, witches, wild ones, flipping the script on what it really means to be a woman in today's world. Through raw interviews, intimate solo casts, and brave conversations, we'll chat about motherhood, mysticism, psychedelics, spirituality, and more.
Victoria:You'll be reminded that your voice matters, that your truth matters, that you're here to walk in beauty. So be the prayer, and let's flip the script. Are you ready? Let's jump on in. Hello.
Victoria:Hello. Welcome back to the inaugural relaunched first episode of flip the script with Vic. I am beyond excited to now have be in a video format and to also bring you my beautiful soul sister, Daphne Lauren Bravo today. I love her for so many reasons that I'm gonna share with you guys, but I think the best part about her is that she has ignited in me a passion to become a better version of myself. She has helped me remember my Cuban heritage in a whole new way, and she has been such a beautiful mirror for my own expansion, for my own dreams.
Victoria:Like, I could hear myself getting choked up because I just love you so much, and I am so excited you're here with me. So please share more of, like, who you are, what you do, all of your magic.
Daphny:Sister, thank you so much. I mean, what a freaking intro. Oh my gosh. The feeling is mutual. The way you and I have, as I was just saying, fanned each other's flames into, like, this beautiful, beautiful evolution that I've watched you go through and myself together over this last couple of years has been delicious.
Daphny:So who am I? Thank you so much for having me. I'm Daphne Lauren Bravo. I am a spiritual strategist. I am a color expert.
Daphny:I am a Reiki healer. And more than anything, I'm a leader looking to help women become their most brilliant self expressed selves.
Victoria:And you do just by being yourself. I I wanna start with the color because I feel like that really blew my mind when we first met. So Daphne and I met online years ago in 2021. She is in New York. I'm in Georgia.
Victoria:And just over the years, the universe has really shown us ways in which we are each other's, like, equal half almost. She has a lot of Scorpio alchemy energy. I have a lot of Taurus grounded energy. But in meeting Daphne in this online container, you really focused on color mainly then, and you had some of your ritual roses and things. But just explaining to me how you use color as a talisman to help make change in your everyday life.
Victoria:I would love for you to walk people through that because it it blew my mind.
Daphny:Yeah. Thank you. So color was really something that grew out of my corporate background, and that is because I spent almost a decade exclusively wearing black, like head to toe inside and outside, undergarments, everything, I was a black girl. And it was part of the corporate culture and later to find out that it was also a security blanket for all of my unexpressed emotions and for all of my withheld stuck energy. And so it became that security blanket of, you know, we all love to wear that black clothing, right?
Daphny:Because it makes us feel slimmer and it literally energetically shares none of ourselves. So when we wear black, we actually become an absorbing agent energy wise. And that's why we get a little more hot when we're in the sun, right? That's an exaggerated version of that, but in everything. So if you're in a room and you're sad and you're wearing black and you're filled with sad people, what's gonna happen?
Daphny:You're gonna absorb a lot more of that energy. So what started happening to me naturally is after I left the corporate world in 2015, I stopped wearing black because I had no need to wear black and I started feeling a lot better. As I started to learn about the chakra system, I was really impressed by the fact that every chakra had a color and I learned about the light spectrum and the way that black actually blocks and white expands what you're able to receive. So I started playing with those concepts and learning about how to use color purposely to set intentions and to unblock pieces of my life. Now you have to understand it was a revolution for me visually also because I'm an artist.
Daphny:So all of a sudden, all of these colors that people play with and the colors that we're attracted to, I started noticing patterns that then tied back to those chakra systems that I had learned about by becoming a yoga teacher, after my corporate life. And so I now use this color to really help people understand like when they're attracted to a certain color, what that means when they're repulsed by a certain color. And also I use it as, like you said before, a talisman where if we're blocked in a certain chakra system, which then correlates to a certain emotional belief or structure, we can actually use that color visually to use our eyes as a portal of healing, right? We all know that the more senses we use to learn anything or heal anything, the more effective we are. So this is a way to actually bring those deep emotional healing methods into a visual system.
Victoria:Yeah. And I think it makes it so much more impactful. Like, I noticed now when I'm reaching for black or when I've been wearing a lot of blue lately, which my throat chakra is, like, very unleashed and you gravitate towards these colors. So notice, like, are you picking more orange? Are you picking more black?
Victoria:And, you know, it's not to say that you shouldn't wear black. Right? But it's just noticing when when you choose it. You know? Like, I actually love it when I'm on my period or in my, like, late luteal phase, and I don't have a lot of energy.
Victoria:I'm like, okay. I will gladly suck your energy. Like, please, please bring it to me. You know? And I think color was just the start of so much because then you even shared that, like, different colors correspond to different days.
Victoria:And I I know you have that as part of your kind of holy shift work and the membership that you have. And what is, I would say, you know, the colors, the base, but then what are kind of the other, I guess, values that you bring to the table? Because I think they're really important in your work, and they're so interwoven in who you are and also who Monarch Mystery School is, which we'll share more about in a little bit, but that's the mystery school that you and I have together.
Daphny:Yeah. So thank you for asking that because I think that after leaving corporate to your point, that moral aspect became the most important and the leading factor. So, and that being the, excuse me, and that being the intention of why I was making all of these changes and why all of this information I believe the universe was kind of presenting to me. So, yes, there's a seven day color order to our week, our seven day week, and, a lot of my membership work and a lot of my client work is to help, people, specifically women really align their bodies and their lives with this flow of intention in order to receive their goals more quickly and with more ease. So what happens is that in a very male structured society that we live in, success is really about the goal, and we as women are uniquely qualified to work with that intention, that flow, that natural energy cycle, right?
Daphny:You were just mentioning before, like your luteal phase, and how you're using different tools during that phase of your personal cycle, right, in order to navigate the natural energy. So, the color cycle is an external, the moon cycle is an external calendar, right, and then the internal calendars become that luteal phase, that menstrual cycle. And how we're choosing, even if we're not actively menstruating, how we're choosing to interact with those colors, whether it's aligning with the external moon cycle or with the day of the week, it's really just an energy channel for us women to become more aligned with our, our actual circumstances and our three d universe. Right? So my Holy Shift portal is a portal of tools to help you realign your life through time, through those body signals that we were talking about before, Your throat chakra opening up, getting, allowing yourself to look at tools from a local kind of prescriptive nature, where we're addressing physical three d issues with color or spiritual tools.
Daphny:And then lastly, as you mentioned those ritual roses, so that ritual piece that keeps us connected with that ancestral knowledge that really lives in our bones. So, those are really the three pillars of the work that I do. It's all about that alignment with time because that masculine structure is needed, but the way we women work in it is a little bit different. Oh, a different. Right?
Daphny:So, it's it's it's, you know, finally helping women not feel broken in that twenty four hour cycle that we're not meant to be like little hammers constantly, consistently performing within. It's helping women feel at home in their own skin, in their own lives by teaching them that cyclical nature that they really are supposed to be living in alignment with.
Victoria:Exactly, and that we're all different, you know, that we're not meant to all be working eight hour days, five days a week. You know, Daphne and I are both projectors in human design. And if you're familiar with that tool, I I know that was revolutionary for you, especially coming from corporate and and the masculine structure that you're not meant to be working all the time. You know, projectors are what, four hours a day, I think we're supposed to be working, you know?
Daphny:No. I I I think it's less than that. Think it's like eight to ten hours a week Yeah. That we're supposed to be working in, like, masculine hyper folk focus mode.
Victoria:Yeah. And you know what? And we're more efficient when we get stuff done. So, actually, we don't need all that time. And, you know, I I come back to the energetics, I mean, so much because I think for both of us realizing that we as women run differently, work differently was very revolutionary for us and still is.
Victoria:And that's something that I feel like is the cornerstone of both of our work because so many of us are so detached from it. Yes. And so lost a little bit in the in the masculine. I would love for you to speak to that a little bit because I've seen your swing back into the feminine, back into your balance. Mhmm.
Victoria:And I know you were far more masculine before that, which I can't even fathom. So how has that journey been? Because I do feel like it's a bit of a pendulum swing. Right? Because I did the same thing.
Victoria:It was like, okay. Let me go from this super hyper masculine to, oh my gosh. I'm only wearing flowy outfits, and I'm being way too feminine. And I'm saying, oh, I don't feel like it, so I'm not gonna do it, you know, and like, that's not it.
Daphny:Yeah. Yeah. So it's it's been quite a pendulum swing and that's the perfect, perfect metaphor there. Because in my corporate world, so I spent a decade as the corporate retail handbag buyer for Macy's. So that was very much about goal setting, managing 700 plus stores, looking at marketing plans, and everything was goal oriented, right?
Daphny:It really didn't matter whether there was a hurricane, whether the country was shut down or whatever was happening socially, those numbers had to be hit come hell or high water. And so I spent so much of my life first at NYU training to be in that environment, and then in that environment. And it really consumed me, right? So the reason why I really left was because my body was craving that feminine balance. And the universe forced my hand by literally I I became pregnant with my first child, and I realized very quickly that I had none of that balance.
Daphny:That was my mirror point. That was the the really reflection point where I was like, wow. I have this baby and no love to give it, and no really and love to give it is is harsh, but no no softness, I think, really was what I felt. No softness to share or to teach. And so I made that that hyper pendulum swing decision to just cold turkey leave corporate, and I trained yoga and I became, like you said, like this hyper feminine, flowy, I was trying to reject basically everything that I felt had hurt me in my former life.
Daphny:So then I took the paper flowers, I start, I became a handmade artist and I found a lot of success but the reality is that in my desperate attempt to feel worthy as being this flowy, unstructured human, I ended up recreating the same bullshit I had just left.
Victoria:Yep. Just with a different name, a different label, but it's still the same shit.
Daphny:Right? So then, like, I feel like I'm here and I'm not. I'm actually here again. And so it's been quite a a journey back and forth because then I really committed to the feminine, and I was like, I'm I'm gonna be Reiki, and I'm just gonna do yoga, and I was like and I'm business. Nothing.
Daphny:I know nothing about numbers. I don't have to even make money.
Victoria:It's fine. Forget all of that that I learned and spent money on. You're forget all that. In fact, I'm gonna hire
Daphny:people to teach me who don't have any credentials, and they're gonna teach me how to do what I already did.
Victoria:But see okay. But you're not the only woman that does this. Like, I think this is a really important conversation because we talk about this all the time, like the fake pretend. Yeah. We do it to ourselves.
Victoria:I have also done this. I worked in marketing and social media for years. Do you wanna know how many business social media, like, courses and things I have taken? Why? Why?
Victoria:So that I could pat myself in the back and say, oh, you do know what you're talking about. Like, what the fuck? Like, what the hell? You know?
Daphny:But, you know, but that goes back to that goal setting stuff. Right? Because it feels like if we have the stupid piece of paper that said that we did it, it's enough. But then when we go to use it, we're like, maybe I'll just buy more papers. It doesn't feel good yet.
Victoria:Maybe that'll help.
Daphny:I'm actually not embodied in the paper yet. Then you're like, you go out on stage and you're like, I I don't really know what to say, pretend because I'm just pretend confused as to how I got here. Meanwhile, like, you're the most certified fucking confused person you've ever met and that's how I felt. I felt like and I even had, you know, sadly, spiritual guides that said things to me like, oh, your need to, like, make the money is just, like, you not being fully committed to the feminine. And I believed it.
Daphny:For a long time, I believed it. You know, I really did and I think that's that's a little bit of, like, the quick fix of spirituality that, like, spiritual bypass. Like, it's just because you care too much about things. Well, Give up
Victoria:all your worldly possessions. Like, bullshit. I'm sorry. I'm spiritual, but I also, like, want a nice Chanel purse. Like, go ahead.
Victoria:Great.
Daphny:And and I think I think it goes back to that intention piece. Right? Because I said this to someone the other day. Was like, wanting the Chanel purse is not the issue. It's thinking that the Chanel purse is gonna now be the new elevated version of you because that's what it took.
Daphny:Right? That's how we all end up, like, dumb and broke and with a closet full of Chanel and no money in our bank. Right? Like, I I read that great quote the other day where it's like, there's a problem if your handbag costs more than what you have in the bank. Like, that's not spiritual responsibility.
Daphny:Right? And that's not balance. And that's and that's, I think, what really has attracted you and I to each other and what really created Monarch Mystery School, which is our mystery school together, is is that idea that we are not supposed to be consuming for our worth. We're supposed to be creating. Right?
Daphny:Like, we're not made to be consumers and providers. Right? Like, that's a male job. But we've been tricked, for lack of a better word, or conditioned to do things differently, which is why, you know, I found myself in that pendulum swing of, like, oh, this is good. This feels good, but it's not worthy enough.
Daphny:Okay. Let's come back over here. Okay. This is worthy enough, also gonna kill me. Coming back over here, and when you get in the middle, it's that realization that like, no.
Daphny:Actually, there's a structure that holds our delicious flow and that allows us to be super in alignment with what's inside, but doesn't ask us to like, whore ourselves out to get the Chanel bag. The Chanel bag is a natural overflow because our we've s we've elevated to meet that Chanel bag. Right?
Victoria:Mhmm. Exactly. We're matching it. And I think, you know, as you were talking, I keep just thinking about, you know, we're both moms as well. And so on top of all of the spiritual shadow work and business and things, you've got motherhood.
Victoria:And now if you are pouring from an empty cup, if you're not pouring from that overflow, like, you're not just affecting yourself and your business. Now you're affecting, like, your entire life. And you we've both talked about this, but I I I wanna talk more about the the struggle of doing of doing it all. Right? Because truly we can't.
Victoria:And I feel like it's when we create freedom in our lives that allows us to use perhaps our time in a different way. Maybe our money in a different way. Right? I really believe when women have money, we give back to our communities, we give back to those around us. It's very circular, We're not thinking of just ourselves.
Victoria:But that motherhood piece, think, man, it can throw a wrench in things sometimes. Yeah. In a really beautiful way, it's hard.
Daphny:So I I you know, when I think about motherhood and the and the the wrenches that it throws in what feels like my goals and my desires and all of that, I'm reminded that our pace is different. And I'm reminded that that's what we're here to like literally heal is that wound that thinks that because today my baby needed more of me or my child needed, you know, more guidance or whatever it is that that child need is in conflict with our desire in that moment, I try to think of it or I try to reframe it as a beautiful reminder of like, but we're the nourishers and if not us, then who? And think that goes back to what I was saying before, like, as much as we can, as women, create real wealth, and we we are literal, natural attractors of wealth, the problem is we're not taught to attract like women. We're taught to attract like men. So then when we have to give like women, all we think about is the time that that's taking from us being like little men.
Daphny:And so that's to me where that conflict constantly exists because we don't think about our male structure as a as a nest where we can feel safe and relax into. Right? Instead, we're looking at it as, like, we have to lay the eggs, we have to build the nest, We have to sit on the eggs, and then we still have to feed the thing that comes out of the egg, all while making sure the nest doesn't fall apart, the predators are around. You know, like, because we're taught to do it all, I feel like when it comes to motherhood and our dreams, like, we feel like we have to pick and choose. But as mothers, we're we are uniquely qualified, and dare I say exclusively responsible for some of those energetics.
Daphny:If and if when our energy feels pulled apart, polarized, right? Black and white coming back to that color, when it doesn't feel like it can just flow with what our child needs, that's when we feel that struggle as women, right? But really what we're just saying is that it's a reflection of us being able to give ourselves that time because if we know that we're in our luteal phase and we need a little more or we're menstruating or we're feeling extra weak, we know that that's gonna compromise what we can pour out of our cup and the quality, especially if we're not acknowledging or take making any change to align with where we really are. Right? I'm sure that there's I mean, I'm sure you can speak to it.
Daphny:I feel like you're the pro in this of like really aligning with the menstrual cycles. I have learned so much from you, you know, on this on this cyclical aligned living because as moms, like, we always feel that that that pick and choose, but the reality is there's only one that we're uniquely qualified for.
Victoria:No. And it's true. And I feel like since leaving my corporate job, I have kinda one eighty on a lot of things, and I was of the girl boss era. Right? I was very much like, you need to go make the bacon and shoot the bacon and cook it in the pan and do all the things.
Victoria:And it's since leaving my corporate job that I've been able to soften in the nest that my husband has provided for me. And maybe some feminists listening are gonna get really pissed off. But I actually think I am my better self, my best self when I can soften into myself when I know that he's bringing home the bacon, and I can go create and not consume. I can take care of the kids. I can do this, and I can do that.
Victoria:It feels really good. But it's really different than what I thought. And it took a little bit of adjustment in me and in our relationship because I wasn't letting him do things. I was trying to do everything. Yep.
Victoria:And then I was getting pissed about it.
Daphny:Yep. You know? I'm so tired. Why am I do why am I choosing to do everything?
Victoria:But when you when you let them, when you actually give them the space to stand to stand up and do what they need to do, it makes a difference. Not just energetically, but really, and I I feel like the whole dynamic of our family. Like, my kids act different. You know? All of it.
Victoria:Like, there is something to be said for the feminine energy and the nurturing aspect that we bring and men and their, like, masculine protector energy. Like, you need both. And, yes, you embody both inside of you. Absolutely. But it is nice when you can only fully express one of them and not have to carry both and express both so fully.
Victoria:You know what I mean?
Daphny:Yeah. So I think that's something that I really wanna wanna talk about a little bit and that's that we actually can't do both at the same time. Just in the same way that we cannot listen and speak at the same time, just as the same way, like, it's it's actually physiologically impossible. You don't retain all of everything if you're trying to do both at the same time. So then where I look at, like, society and I look at, like, this trend towards, like, the mom does everything And what I end up feeling or what women end up feeling, and let I'll just speak for myself.
Daphny:I won't generalize about other women, but, like, the way that I felt was that I was feeling at everything. You know, when I was a Paper Flower artist, like, literally featured on ABC News and with more orders that I could keep up with, and with now second child, a newborn baby, and I'm breastfeeding because that's the best option, and and I'm I'm, you know, making flowers by hand because how dare I sacrifice the energy that I put into them. And then I don't wanna get an assistant because I fucking can't afford it. And now I'm like, I'm trying to be everything and guess what? I feel like I'm feeling at everything.
Daphny:And other people once again are like, oh my god, you're doing so great. That's the worst part.
Victoria:Yeah. You'll be applauded for it. Honestly, one of the one of the TED speakers, doctor Shola, I love you. I'll put her TED Talks in the the convo as well. Talk about this.
Victoria:Like, we get applauded for taking on all the things and bending backwards.
Daphny:Like, it's But you know who we really piss off silently? Our husbands. You know, like, I will never ever forget. My husband I accused my husband once of, like, not helping me, and he literally was like, I couldn't help you if I tried because every time I go to help you, you're either telling me I'm not helping you in the way you would help yourself, or you've already helped yourself. And I am once again feeling short.
Daphny:Meanwhile, all I wanted was that, but it's like, I didn't even allow the pace
Victoria:Mhmm.
Daphny:That we're supposed to move in. Right? If we're moving in sync with our cycles, if we're moving in sync with the moon, if we're moving in sync with the way color and light moves through our bodies, it's not that fast and guess what? There's built in processing time and this is where like you you mentioned before the projector element of our personal, you know, human design, but this is where knowing yourself on that deeper level really makes a difference. Right?
Daphny:Knowing how your how your ideal energetic output or flow actually happens.
Victoria:Yeah. Because it's totally different. It's totally different. And you also have to notice as well, like, your own behaviors and actions in that. Right?
Victoria:Like, I know in my luteal phase, I'm gonna be a little bit more like, you know, into wounded wild woman If I'm not giving myself, you know, that space and that time to process Yeah. To alchemize, to use what that time is literally for. Yeah. You know? It's it's just wild to me how disconnected we are from this really natural way of being.
Victoria:And I think, you know, what's popping into my head now is is the Akashic Records. And I feel like things really shifted for both of us once we started working with that energy. So I found the records in 2018 after a miscarriage. There's, like, a whole podcast about it if you wanna go back and listen. But, essentially, that energy is just an energy of infinite possibility that anyone can tap into at any time.
Victoria:But it really attunes, like, your energy to the cosmic energy of the universe. And I feel like it's allowed me to ground my energy in the here and now in a much different way than I was previously. And, you know, we started working the records together. Gosh. Was it over a year ago?
Victoria:And you had already been in the records, but didn't really realize that you were. Yeah. But I I really feel like that's when things started to come alive for you was when you started to tap into that more. So I would love to speak to that.
Daphny:Yeah. Yeah. No. Thank you for bringing that up because I really feel like the Akashic Records is it's like a bridge. And I say that specifically from my experience because before you helped me really understand and attune me to the Akashic Records, I had already been attuned as a Reiki master.
Daphny:And what was really interesting for me about being a Reiki master was that I felt like there was this part of me that had been activated, but it was actually really difficult for me to tap in. It took a lot of energy for me to tap into what felt like this pillar of light that I was now aware of and knew how to tap into, but like, it felt like I was constantly digging. And when I started working with you in the Akashic Records, I remembered that there was a different way. And it was like you gave me the keys to a place that I had been before. And it was it was a place that I had been and in only inadvertently in the past, right, in deep meditation or even doing breath work or something like that.
Daphny:There had always been like a catalyst to it, you really taught me how to open the door myself. And it was really beautiful because I think what's great about the work that you do and the work that I do is that it's all about self empowerment. Right? It's not about you now being coming that, like, you know, fortune teller that everyone needs to come to to, like, give them the divine future, you know, that's
Victoria:Not Zoltan.
Daphny:Right. Right. Right. Like, we all love to, like, be that, like, Zoltan, like, think that this is it. Like, we've been our Zoltan.
Daphny:Like, we just keep giving them money and keep doing the sessions. They'll keep giving us the answers. But I love that all of our tools actually empower people. Yes. There's moments of crisis where we need we need a Zoltan Zoltan, whatever.
Victoria:Zoltan. Whatever it is. I don't know. Maybe I'm saying
Daphny:it wrong. Sometimes, we need that. Right? Like, we need to go to someone. We need to and be like, hey, hook me up to your machine for a second.
Daphny:Bring me some light, like, you know, tell me what I need to know or to snap me back in. But when you're snapped back and you get to tap into yourself and your own wisdom, it's so beautiful to see what can come out and what was already there. Right? Because none of this is new. Going to the Akashic Records, you reading my Akashic Records wasn't you telling me something that lived within you that I needed to know.
Daphny:It was something you were reading from myself. And I love I love that that's what you do in Akashic Awakening. Like, the fact that there's you have a training program to, like, really help women tap into themselves.
Victoria:Yeah. Well, and you do too because that's what's coming next is your book.
Daphny:Yes. Yes. Because, yes,
Victoria:that's coming out this week. So tell us more. Tell us all the things, please.
Daphny:Yes. So back to brilliance, a thirty day journey to unfuck your brain and return to bliss. Yes. So we're going really authentic here. It's a bit of my story of how, I guess, I lost my brilliance and how I found it again.
Daphny:And then I actually take the reader through a thirty day moon cycle, which I align with the menstrual cycle and the color for you, and we kind of walk through the female pace of manifesting through intention versus normal societal goal setting. So it's it's meant to be kind of a foundation of all the things that I do and all the things that I teach and really helping women understand kind of where we lost our way historically, because it's a whole chapter on that, in order to understand how we got here. Right? Because a lot of women are like, oh, you know, I'm a feminist. Right?
Daphny:They just attach themselves to the title and they don't really think about how that manifests in their life. And I think that's very big in intention setting. Right? Where you have to sit down and really ask why you're living this way. And this book kind of forces you to ask why you're living the way that you're living.
Daphny:And hopefully, shakes you up enough to question and make some real change in order to find your brilliance.
Victoria:Because Oh, you know it will. Daphne led us through a version of a workshop that is actually part of the book. And I think maybe a bonus if you sign up during the presale.
Daphny:Yes, ma'am.
Victoria:You don't wanna miss this workshop. It was amazing. And I had so many ahas and so did the women because the way that you speak about manifesting through intention just makes so much more sense. And I'm not gonna give any of it away because I really want people to go read the book and take the workshop, but it it was revolutionary. I have not seen anyone else talk about it this way, and I think it's the way that women need to manifest moving forward.
Victoria:And I've seen the practices, like, come to fruition in my own life and in our manifestations together as part of monarch mystery school because, that's the cool thing is that we were both given this, like, soul dream even though we don't live anywhere near each other, and we just felt so called to gather in these very specific places to to activate ourselves, activate the earth, activate one another. But I really wanted you to be the first guest on this relaunch of the podcast because I think our story of collaboration over competition is just one of the most beautiful things. And the fact that we have learned that we both fly higher together and separately, right, that actually us building up our own separate businesses helps what we're trying to do together and vice versa. Yeah. So, yeah, I don't know if there's any more you wanna share on Monarch or on collaboration, but it just this is the way forward, and it makes me so excited because this is how women are meant to work together.
Victoria:Like, it's time to get over some of the witch trial stuff. It's time to get over some of the old patterns and energy, and I think we're here to create that new template moving forward.
Daphny:Absolutely. Absolutely. Because I I I believe that we are the living example of what we're teaching and, you know, that collaboration over competition, that's such a tagline. But what it really looks like is me knowing myself and what I'm best at and also being so honest and responsible with what I fucking hate that it allows space, like we were just talking about our husbands and our male counterparts. Right?
Daphny:It's allowing that space for somebody else to come in and shine their light in their fullness instead of you trying to be a half rate version of that person who's actually an expert in that space. So just to give a practical example, because I think it's actually magnificent, is our whole, you know, social media campaign for Monarch, which, I mean, I I just have to throw this in here because this is a real masculine accolade. Right? In the last I don't even think it's thirty days. I think it's like more like twenty one days.
Daphny:Monarch has quietly with just Instagram posts, you know, made over $4,000. And I think that's that's something to be said about the way that we made it, and that is, you know, I have moments of of connection with the Akashic Records, which are just kind of like channeling moments, and and I love writing in those moments. And so sometimes, I'll just message Victoria a block of words that just came through, and I don't even feel like any shame of being like, hey, this is yours now. Here you you Do something with that. And here comes Victoria with her marketing magic, and she'll transform that into a post in like forty milliseconds because that's her magic.
Daphny:Right? And then we post it, and people are like, this is delicious. It spoke to me. And then, like, the money comes in, and you're like, wait, we didn't use any masculine anything. In fact, I just stood in my power and then I just said, none of this is my responsibility because my power stream has naturally dried up.
Daphny:Right? No longer connected. Okay. I'm gonna walk away. Channeled for a moment.
Daphny:This is yours now. You might not pick it up for a week.
Victoria:Yeah. And that's totally fine. And we don't even have we don't even have, like, an actual I was thinking about this. We have, a rough schedule kind of of what we wanna talk about, but, like, it is not written down in any way where it's, like, Monday at 9AM, we're posting x. And I don't know.
Victoria:You social media managers can come for me for that shit. That's fine. But I think without a calendar, we're doing pretty good.
Daphny:Yeah. I I like I truly don't even know if we have, like, over 100 followers. I don't think we have 100 followers. So not even 100 followers. Okay?
Daphny:All you bought people who sell followers, like, really? Because I I think too, it's energetics. Right?
Victoria:Yeah. I was just that's exactly what I did. It was like, it's the energy. It was the energy it was created in. It's the energy it's posted in.
Victoria:It's also very aligned with what we are here to share and serve about. Yes. And all of that takes time to figure out. You know? I think I would love to to wrap this episode with this idea that, you know, Daphne and I are always ever evolving.
Victoria:Right? This this version of Us has evolved since 2021. It's now what? 2025? Yeah.
Victoria:Yeah. Know? So, like, you may be looking at this conversation and being like, oh my gosh. But I can't even, I don't know, pick a font for my brand, whatever it is.
Daphny:Like, that's okay if that's where you're at.
Victoria:You know? Will get there if you're willing to put in the rest, the surrender Yeah. And the trust and a little bit of discipline. I do think there's a little bit of discipline in there, and people don't like to hear that word. I even kinda get a little, like, with that word.
Victoria:But I do think you have to have a devotion and a discipline to yourself and to your dream and to your craft to discover what is your magic. Right. So that you know, to your point, like, what I'm good at and what I'm not.
Daphny:And just to soften that discipline word, the reason why I feel so intimidating is because we think discipline means showing up the same way every day.
Victoria:Yep.
Daphny:And that ain't it, sister. That ain't it. Right? There's a different cycle. There's a different flow.
Daphny:And to your point, if you're not putting in the work to figure out what that is for yourself, because it is different for you, that's the key that unlocks everything. That's the magical key.
Victoria:Yeah. Everyone wants to sell like a, you know, follow my exact system. Yes. What I have seen, the systems work for a while. Okay.
Victoria:I have a client who I love. I've had to help unwind her from someone else's teachings, from someone else's teachings that yes, got her success, but it burnt out her body. Yep. Burned out her energy to the point where she didn't even wanna work on her business anymore. Yeah.
Victoria:And we're unwinding all of that so that she can figure out how she wants to build her business in a way that's in alignment with her. And so many of us have to we have to do that. We have to unlearn, unwind to figure out what works for us. So if you ever hear Daphne and I say, this is the exact way to do it, we've been, like, taken by a body snatcher because that's not what we'll ever say to you.
Daphny:No. In fact, you know, I think it's the exact opposite. Everything we're doing, like I started by saying, is like, is a method for you to peel away a layer of of somebody else's mistruth that you've taken on as your own. And, yeah, we're just here to help women expand themselves.
Victoria:Let us know where can people find you? When's the book coming out? Give us all of that. It'll be in the show notes also guys, I'm gonna but Yes. Fangirl dap for a bit.
Daphny:So you can find all of my programs, my book at daphnelaurenbravo.com. On Instagram, I'm daphne lauren bravo. I'm gonna spell that out for you. It's c a p h n y l a u r e n bravo, b r a v o. And the book comes out, mid September.
Daphny:It goes into presale. And for all of you that actually purchased during that pre sale period, it comes with a live webinar called set intentions like a woman. And it's all about, you putting these real manifestation tactics into practice as a powerful wealthy woman.
Victoria:Yay. I can't wait. The world needs it. Thank you, Daphne. Thank you guys for listening.
