Feeling weary or like your light is flickering? In this heartfelt episode of the Choose 2 Think Podcast, Victoria opens up about walking through grief and caregiving while rediscovering the power of God’s light within.

Blending Biblical truth, neuroscience, and thought renewal, Victoria helps Christian women over 50 reclaim their light, even in life’s dimmest seasons.

She shares how thoughts can either dim or brighten your spirit, why gratitude is a brain-based pathway to joy, and how understanding the science of light—both spiritually and neurologically—can help you live with renewed purpose.

Whether your light feels small or radiant, this episode reminds you that you are literally wired to shine.

  • Your light is your identity.

  • Grief can draw you closer to God.

  • Your thoughts can dim or brighten your inner light.

  • Stay connected to the Source—Christ, your true light.

  • Even the smallest acts can have the biggest impact.

  • You are literally wired to shine.

  • Renewing your mind daily transforms your brain.

  • Gratitude illuminates your path.

  • When your light feels small, it still matters.

  • Spending time with God changes your countenance.
