from Founders Future · host Closers.io

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we meet Victoria Maurer, a former PwC consultant who traded in her corporate career to become a breathwork and mindset specialist. Victoria shares her pivotal moment during a late-night Zoom call in the early days of COVID, where she realized the partner's life she was striving for was not what she truly wanted. This sparked an identity crisis and a journey of self-discovery that led her from New York to Australia, and through explorations in neuro-linguistic programming and holistic coaching, ultimately culminating in her founding The Balanced Corporate after a transformative breathwork experience cracked her open to a new path.Victoria delves into her unique methodology, which blends transformational breathwork with Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work to help high-performing leaders and entrepreneurs break through limiting patterns. She explains how she works with clients through intimate group courses, one-on-one coaching, and retreats to help them get out of their own way, find mental clarity, and connect with their authentic desires beyond societal and familial pressures. Looking ahead, Victoria's primary goal is to scale her business online to support her nomadic lifestyle between Australia and Europe, creating a consistent lead generation system that isn't reliant on her physical presence for workshops and spin classes.🌐 Connect with Victoria MaurerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-maurer-84b88434/
