Victoria Hutchins, creator of @thedailyvictorian, joins us for a conversation about what it takes to be seen while moving toward your dreams. Before becoming a full-time creator, author and podcast host, Victoria was doing handstands in the office, posting online while working a corporate job, and slowly learning how to survive what we lovingly call “Cringe Mountain.” We talk about Victoria’s journey from law and corporate life to going viral, leaving her job, and publishing Make Believe: Poems for Hoping Again. We get into the vulnerability of creative work, the strange loneliness that can accompany success, and learning how to celebrate yourself, and why visibility can feel like exposure therapy. Victoria opens up about finding her way back to writing, realizing that having an audience means little without knowing your “why,” and what happens when you can’t edit out your humanity. Whether you’re on your own journey to living more creatively, changing careers, becoming more visible, or you simply want to learn to reach the top of your own Cringe Mountain, you’ll walk away from this episode feeling inspired and equipped to pursue your dreams.

Mars is in Cancer August 11 to September 27, 2026.
