The Paradox Of Life, Love, and the Decision to Freeze Her Eggs with Victoria P. Mitchell
Listen on Apple Podcasts | Listen on Spotify
Victoria Mitchell, COO of Good Party, openly talked about her decision to freeze her eggs, and the complications that came with it, on social media. Her latest series, "My Egg Freezing Journey" has reached hundreds of thousands of people on Instagram and TikTok.
I was curious:
What led her to share this intimate chapter of her life? And how was able to transform a deeply personal journey into a viral sensation?
After pouring countless hours into the project with little to no reward, she almost gave up. But the fifth video, which she admittedly 'phoned in', was the turning point.
After that, the series blew up.
Victoria's story shows us that sometimes, our most compelling stories are the ones that emerge from our authentic experiences, no matter how complex or paradoxical they may seem to us.
The hardest part? Being brave enough to share them.
