4: The Mirror Moment: Where Are You Now? | 10 step on how to check your life balance

Hey love, I just wanted to take a moment to write to you, about life, about us, and about noticing the little things that shape our days. We’ve been reflecting on the basics together in past episodes, and now it’s time to see where our energy really goes. To notice where we shine, where we’re balanced, and where we might be giving too much, or totally forgetting about. You don’t have to have everything figured out. You just have to notice. Be honest with yourself. Your intuition already knows the answers. I want to remind you: your body is your vessel, your health is your foundation, your friendships are your chosen family. And yes - your career, your passions, your dreams… they all matter too. You deserve to wake up on Mondays excited, to move your body in ways that make you feel alive, to nurture your mind, your heart, and your soul. So here’s my love letter to you today: notice your life. Your energy. Your dreams. Take care of yourself. And remember: you’re never alone in this. 💛 If this resonates with you, join me in the newest episode. We’ll dive into all ten ways to check your life balance, to really see where your heart and energy are going. And if you need a little spark of inspiration, I’ve got a special worksheet waiting for you under this post. With all my love and encouragement, Vickie ❤️‍🔥 P.S. Pour a cup of coffee (or maybe wine 🍷), cozy up, and let’s do this together. This is a public episode.

3: Foundation of Freedom | 4 ways how to create a budget & finally stop surviving

Hello my girl! 🥂 This week I traveled to Amsterdam and even though I enjoyed it so much, it was really tighting my budget. I wanted to say no, but in the end when I saw my friends so excited of me going, I said yes. You can see my face few days later when I saw the airplane tickets and my realizations that the hotel is already booked 😅 Lesson learnt, but I was upset with myself: “You can say no to these invitations, what happened?” So I sat with it and firstly, of course, I spot the little people pleaser in me, we had a conversation and I believe next time I will be more present in decisions like this. But the more I sat with that, the clearer the truth became: I was not only upset because of the people pleasing, I was upset as my financial stability was threatened by my decision. And that led me to my very first lesson, when I was getting my life together. This is where getting your life together actually begins.Not with manifestation.Not with aesthetics.But with security.But with security. Which is exactly why this week’s episode goes straight for the root.

2: Respect Yourself First | 6 steps to build self-trust & get your life together

Hello Darlings 🥂 Last week was wild. Ups and downs, full chaos - especially when you’re starting your own podcast. To be honest, motivation comes and goes, and it’s hard not to record five episodes at once because I’m so excited. But, as we all know, motivation is a tricky little b***h as she disappears the moment you stop watching her. Discipline, on the other hand, stays. I’ve burned out more than once chasing those waves of creative high, only to realize that nothing in life lasts unless it has a rhythm. Not speed, not hype, rhythm. And it made me wonder… isn’t that true for everything? How often do we chase pleasure, that quick high, that champagne sparkle… only to wake up the next morning flat and over it? No wonder, New Year’s resolutions vanish faster than bubbles in a glass. 😄 So, here’s something for you to reflect on this week: Where in your life are you chasing motivation? And where are you building rhythm? And maybe even deeper… in your relationships, where do you go for the quick thrill with the morning hangover, and where do you move in flow, ease, and joy - all the way through the ride? We’ll dive into that second question together in my brand-new podcast episode. (The first one… we’ll save for another day, mon amour ❤️‍🔥) Because if you’ve been waiting for your life to magically fall into place, I’ll gently but firmly remind you - nah girl. It’s time to rebuild it. Oh, and stay tuned till the end. I’m sharing a new segment called “Parisian Moment.” A tiny, luxurious ritual to bring a bit of that French magic into your everyday life. Let’s just say this week’s one is bold, powerful, and unapologetically feminine. À bientôt, Vimael 💄 This is a public episode.
