In this powerful return conversation, Victoria Finch — known as The Heart Healer — joins host Deneen L. Garrett for an intimate, deeply reflective dialogue on inner child healing, emotional freedom, leadership, and the power of community.
Victoria shares the origin of her healing work, the childhood moment that shaped her life’s mission, and how decades of trauma recovery, hypnotherapy, and personal healing now inform the way she supports women at pivotal turning points.
Together, Deneen and Victoria explore:
-
Why so many high-achieving women struggle with feeling unseen
-
How unresolved childhood experiences quietly shape adult relationships and leadership
-
What happens in a woman’s nervous system when she enters a truly safe community
-
Why the next chapter of a woman’s life deserves to be named, honored, and lived fully
This episode also introduces a reflective ritual: choosing your Word of the Year for 2026 — not as a goal, but as an intention and compass for how you want to live and feel.
Victoria reveals her 2026 word — Freedom — and invites listeners to begin listening for the word that’s calling them forward.
This conversation is especially resonant for women who have spent years caregiving, leading, surviving, and giving — and are now ready to choose themselves, their joy, and their next chapter with intention.
