In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend, fitness coach, and founder of Bump ‘n Thrive, Lauren Seib, for an honest, deeply personal conversation about body image, burnout, motherhood, and reclaiming self-trust.

From our early days in the magazine industry navigating eating disorders and perfection culture, to building empowered lives as mothers and entrepreneurs, we explore how our relationship with our bodies evolves — and how we can break generational cycles around food, fitness, and self-worth.

We talk about:

• Recovering from eating disorders and burnout
• Redefining fitness after motherhood
• Strength training as empowerment, not punishment
• Breaking “almond mom” culture
• Body autonomy, cosmetic choices, and reclaiming your body
• Alignment, boundaries, and the motherhood “BS meter”
• Teaching our daughters a new relationship with strength and self-love

This is a raw, funny, heartfelt conversation about choosing yourself, listening to your body, and building a life that feels aligned — not performative. ✨ If you’re a mother, a cycle-breaker, a recovering perfectionist, or a woman learning to trust her body again, this episode is for you.

In this heartfelt and deeply validating episode of Flip the Script with Vic, I sit down with yoga teacher, sound healer, astrologer, and Nourished by the Moon creator Mary Ellen Valverde for an honest conversation about self-trust, visibility, and what it really means to nourish yourself.

Mary Ellen shares her winding journey through nutrition, health coaching, spirituality, and astrology — and how years of “shoulds,” imposter syndrome, and people-pleasing led her back to herself. Together, we unpack the myth that we must be fully healed or perfectly qualified before helping others, and why women so often lose their sense of play, rest, and joy along the way.

We dive deep into:

• Why your moon sign reveals your emotional and physical needs
• How astrology can be practical, embodied, and personalized
• Letting go of toxic wellness and one-size-fits-all healing
• Reclaiming creativity, rest, and play as essential nourishment
• Learning to trust your intuition and connect with your guides
• What it means to be seen — and choosing to show up anyway

This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, behind, or missing anything — you simply need to listen to what your body, heart, and moon are asking for.

✨ If you’ve been craving permission to slow down, soften, and sparkle a little more, this conversation is for you.

What happens when your intuition tells you to uproot your entire life — even when it makes no logical sense?

In this episode of Flip the Script with Vic, I sit down with Akashic reader, healer, and guide Paige Kaufman for a deeply honest conversation about intuition, initiation, and radical trust.

Paige shares the story of moving her family to Costa Rica after a powerful Akashic vision — selling almost everything they owned, navigating identity death, relationship recalibration, nervous system survival, and ultimately returning home changed forever. Together, we explore:

• What it really looks like to follow intuitive guidance
• How the land itself can activate healing and initiations
• Why not all growth journeys are “sunshine and roses”
• Rebuilding marriage, identity, and embodiment from the ground up
• Inner child healing, authenticity, and trusting your gifts
• Why the Akashic Records are becoming more accessible on Earth now

This episode is for the woman who knows she’s being called — but is learning how to trust herself enough to answer.
