Victoria Moghaddami's Journey: Living with POTS and Finding Gratitude

I think so many women find it so amazing when we can find a man who isn't afraid to cry.
How do you cope when your body suddenly stops cooperating with you? Victoria Moghaddami knows this struggle all too well. Diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) in her 20s, Victoria had to navigate a world where even standing up could be a challenge. In this heartfelt episode of 'Rebuilding the Beast', host Festus Ezeli chats with his friend Victoria about her journey through the ups and downs of living with POTS.
From being an active sports enthusiast and TV host to becoming a real estate agent, Victoria's story is one of resilience and constant reinvention. But it's not just about her career shifts. Victoria opens up about the emotional toll of being misdiagnosed, the frustration with the medical system, and the deep grief of losing her brother to suicide.
She shares how she leaned on her mother for support and how she eventually found ways to take care of herself, five years after her diagnosis. The conversation also touches on sensitive subjects like suicide and sexual abuse, making it a raw and honest discussion about vulnerability and healing. Victoria talks about the role of emotional releasing therapy in her journey to overcome grief and trauma.
This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the face of adversity, there's always a path to gratitude and self-discovery. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that sheds light on the importance of community, resilience, and finding purpose amidst life's challenges.
