Q and A with Victoria B. from Antigua, Guatemala
“It’s never too late to change, to grow, to have an adventure.”
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: My passion is helping young women navigate life and its chaos! I’ve lived 100 different lives, and I’m here to help women grow and learn from the lessons I’ve already lived. I am a certified life coach. I just acquired that not too long ago. What a blessing it’s been to help so many broken women who have gone through trauma and hard challenges. I also day trade the stock market.
I have a son and a daughter. They are grown, and each has two children, which are the loves of my life. I am a retired financial planner. I am single. I travel the world and try to help those along the way.
I enjoy learning. I am taking Spanish classes now. I love to scuba dive. It gives me such peace. Love the water and beach. I am an avid gardener and enjoy sharing that talent with others.
Q: What were your younger years like?
A: It wasn’t an easy one, but I know that whatever I’ve walked through has led me to the woman I am today. Having said that, I feel like I grew up in a hard era. My parents were divorced, which was incredibly taboo at the time, and as a result, I was treated like I had no value. It took me years to undo the trauma but when I did, the superpower and potential unlocked.
I found out six years ago that my husband had been living a double life. The woman messaged me with pictures and all the things. I chose to forgive them both…however, I did not stay in the marriage. I was horrified to be retirement age and already retired, as to what my life would look like next. For two years I was stuck emotionally. I could not breathe. Then I decided I had to do something. If it was to be, it was up to me.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: I would like others to realize that it’s never too late. I’ve started my life over so many times, and each chapter feels more beautiful than the last. It’s never too late to change, to grow, to have an adventure!
I’m just trying to grow myself daily. I have gone through some really difficult times. I have found it just takes doing the work. I try to live from a heart of love….no judgment. We all have our baggage. I am in the process of writing a book now.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: Feminism, to me, is women rooting for each other. I want to support women with wisdom and love.
