Bending Reality: How Do We Bend the Odds in Our Favor? | Emily Paulsen & Victoria Song

Описание: What if success didn’t have to feel so heavy? And what if intuition and strategy could work together to unlock possibilities we can’t even imagine?

In this episode, Emily Paulsen speaks with Victoria Song, leadership advisor, venture capitalist turned performance coach, and author of Bending Reality. Victoria has worked with leaders across industries, from the families of LeBron James and Elon Musk to entrepreneurs and creatives, helping them clear limiting beliefs, dissolve contraction, and experience what she calls “quantum leaps.”

Their conversation explores the balance of logic and intuition, why our conditioning often leads us to chase the wrong things, and how to reframe “hard work” in a way that feels aligned rather than exhausting. From self-worth and limiting beliefs to expansion, joy, and the real meaning of readiness, Victoria reveals how bending reality isn’t about shortcuts, it’s about shifting the way we relate to possibility.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck in overwork, disconnected from joy, or ready to explore a new paradigm of success, creativity, and fulfillment.

Key Takeaways
-Intuition as untapped data: Our gut instincts process information beyond what the five senses can capture, learning to trust them gives us access to shortcuts our linear mind can’t see.
-Low-stakes practice builds trust: Strengthening intuition starts small, like following a nudge to call a friend or choosing a new path on a weekend, and compounds into bigger decisions over time.
-Contraction drains success: Beliefs rooted in scarcity, overwork, or fear create heaviness in the body and bend outcomes against us; expansion lightens energy and invites possibility.
-Focus on super strengths: Instead of doubling down on weaknesses, identify the gifts that feel natural, joyful, and energizing, those are the true levers of success.
-Joy as soul language: What lights us up isn’t frivolous, it’s a signpost of our purpose. Following it creates alignment between our deepest calling and daily actions.
