Shownotes

In this conversation, Audrey sits down with one of the most requested women in her community: Victoria Goyre, a woman whose entire life has been marked by initiations — birth, death, motherhood, shamanic apprenticeship, Western medicine, scar tissue remediation, and two years of GAPS that cracked open the doors to her intuition and lineage.

Victoria shares the raw and unfiltered story of becoming a mother at sixteen and hiding her pregnancy for six months…

the night her mother found out…

the health scare that forced her into a decision she never felt ready for…

and the moment she realized she wanted to live.

That initiation carried her into 25 years of nursing — pediatric oncology, ICU, ER, bone setting, watching children cross over, learning to communicate with the unseen, and becoming a medicine woman “in captivity,” as she puts it.

And then her life split open again: through postpartum, through spontaneous healing, through Stream scar tissue work, and through GAPS — the new initiation that rewired her physiology, her intuition, her boundaries, and her motherhood.

This episode is a masterclass in slow growth, sacred self-belonging, lineage repair, and creating a business that honors the seasons of a woman’s body.

✨ IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER:

• Teenage motherhood as a portal into purpose

Her first initiation at sixteen and the moment she chose life.

• Nursing as a 25-year apprenticeship in death, devotion & spirit communication

Bone-setting, ICU ethics, oncology patients, and intuitive encounters she tried to shut down.

• The transformative session that changed her entire trajectory

Her first scar tissue remediation appointment with Ellen — and the spontaneous healing that followed.

• GAPS as an initiation, not a diet

Rebuilding her physiology from infant → toddler → maiden → mother, reliving stored memories, and reclaiming intuition.

• Motherhood, business, and the myth of balance

Why she refuses to sprint and is designing a life she can sustain for decades.

• Belonging to yourself before you belong to anyone else

Her three core truths discovered “at the bottom of the soup bowl.”

• Slow business as spiritual integrity

Why she keeps openings in her schedule and refuses the bro-marketing “scale fast” culture.

• Lineage repair through feeding her son

GAPS as the medicine that shifted her son’s reading, attention, emotional regulation, and confidence.
