Vicki is AWESOME! I’ve had the privilege of benefiting from her wisdom for years, both as a friend, and as a musical colleague. She is wonderful at getting to the core of things with kindness and laser-like precision, and at helping people look at the stories they tell themselves as they work on creating more intentional lives!!
