Stories can heal and stories can harm.
And when you become a conscious storyteller, you become aware of the power to interpret events.
Because stories are a snapshot of our emotional evolution.
They're also a tool for emotional regulation.
And once you recognize that you have this kind of superpower inside of you, it changes everything.
How you relate to yourself, how loving and kind you are to yourself, and how loving and kind you are to everyone else.
Hey, so have you ever felt like the story you're telling yourself about your life is holding you back?
Maybe it's a narrative about your capabilities, your relationships, or the possibilities of your future that really don't quite align with who you really are.
We all have these inner narratives running on repeat, shaping our perception of reality.
But what if we could rewrite those limiting stories and craft brave new ones that unlock our full potential and let the world know who we really are?
And what if you could tell the story of who you are to others in a way that captivated and drew them in?
That'd be pretty cool, right?
Well, that's where we're going with today's guest, Vika Viktoria.
Vika is a ukrainian american moth winning storyteller, speaker, and strategist.
She teaches the transformative power of personal narrative to everyone and anyone who wants to learn how to tell stories, especially theirs, in a powerful and compelling way.
And Vikas really unique approach dives deep into re examining the stories that we tell ourselves in order to reimagine the stories we then share with the world.
In this conversation, she shares her own journey, rising up the corporate ladder, then shedding the trappings of that corporate grind to reclaim the art of storytelling that had been imprinted on her soul since childhood.
Drawing from her ukrainian roots and a lifelong passion for dance, she reveals how storytelling is just this almost erotic seduction that awakens all senses, and how mastering this primal skill allows us to become what she calls a DJ of human emotion.
You learn her simple yet powerful story framework for crafting authentic narratives that move people.
And Avika will guide you really to peel back the layers of inherited stories from family, the culture, society itself, so you can observe which still serve you and which may be limiting your growth and expression.
