Healing Trauma and Bending Reality Through Inner Work for Entrepreneurs (Victoria Song)

Victoria Song is a former venture capitalist turned executive coach and leadership coach whose work centers on inner work for entrepreneurs who want more fulfillment, freedom, and sustainable success. She has worked with over 25 coaches herself across business, money, health, and spiritual development. Victoria is also the author of Bending Reality: How to Make the Impossible Probable.In this episode, we talk about why inner work for entrepreneurs is not separate from business growth, but often the foundation for it. We explore how hustle, burnout, and over-efforting can come from unresolved trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and a lack of internal safety. Victoria shares how entrepreneurs can use healing, expansion, and deeper self-awareness to unlock flow, fulfillment, and stronger business outcomes. Throughout the conversation, we return to the idea that inner work for entrepreneurs can change not just how you feel, but what results you are able to create.Who This Episode Is For:Entrepreneurs feeling burned out from the "grind" mentalityBusiness leaders curious about integrating consciousness work with high performanceAnyone who's achieved external success but still feels empty insideFounders interested in accessing flow states and quantum leaps in their businessWhat You'll Learn:The difference between expansion and contraction states and how they impact resultsWhy working harder isn't the only path to entrepreneurial successHow unhealed trauma and limiting beliefs cap our ability to receive opportunitiesThe concept of "bending reality" through conscious leadership and inner workPractical tools for identifying and processing contractive emotionsHow to raise your "thermostat" for joy, success, and abundanceFull episode notes: https://podcast.scottbritton.me/p/how-to-bend-reality-with-victoriaGo Deeper:If this conversation resonated, you can check out:• Join my email list for ongoing insights on consciousness, spirituality, using business as a spiritual path and human potential.• My book Conscious Accomplishment: How to Use Personal Achievement for Spiritual Growth• My company Conscious Talent where business leaders and companies who value both inner work and professional excellence connect.Chapters:(00:00) Victoria Song's path from venture capital to executive coaching(06:18) Why high achievement often hides unresolved trauma(14:42) Inner work for entrepreneurs and the limits of hustle culture(23:57) Nervous system regulation, safety, and receiving more(33:11) Bending reality through expansion, alignment, and belief(43:26) How healing changes leadership, fulfillment, and business outcomes(52:40) Practical ways to notice contraction and return to presence(01:01:18) Mission, spirituality, and building from a deeper place
