She opens up about her personal mental health journey and what it was like to leave behind close relatives at such a young age. Victoria shares the emotional challenges she faced, how they shaped her, and offers heartfelt advice for anyone navigating a similar experience.

In today's episode, we're diving into a habit we ALL struggle with: doom scrolling. Let's be real — we all do it, and yet we can't help but feel that pang of regret afterwards. 😬 It’s like a trap we can’t escape, right? But what if we told you that we can unlearn these habits and start using our phones as tools for good instead of constant scrolling? Join us as we explore how to break free from the endless scroll and reclaim our peace of mind.
