Journey Journals Podcast with Anna Antonio-Dunn

Vicki is a Vancouver-based social worker, lifestyle creator, and proud IVF mama of two miracles. When she's not advocating for others in her professional world, she's chasing adventure with her family, curating stylish finds, and documenting motherhood with heart and honesty. A lover of travel, fashion, and memory-making, she believes in living boldly, loving deeply, and turning life's challenges into something beautiful — sometimes in the form of custom cookies.  @motherhooda2zz @dalicioustreats

Hi everyone my name is Yuna! I am currently working full time at an interior graphics design company and in addition a part time student studying youth justice! For a big part of my adolescent years I was deeply struggling with my mental health including anxiety, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms and PTSD. Though those years were the toughest years of my life, it has shaped me into the resilient, confident person I am today. I now have grown a passion towards finding ways to use my story and lived experiences to help those who are going through something similar. @yu_emily00
