About this episode

Unlock the primal power of storytelling with ViKA Viktoria, master storyteller and communications expert.


ViKA shares how cultivating self-awareness through practices like journaling and dance allowed her to break free from inherited narratives and redefine her own brave story - going from unfulfilled ad executive to trailblazing entrepreneur. Discover why "storytelling is as critical to our survival as breathing" and how to wield this ancient technology to find awe, purpose and connection in our modern lives.
