Despite our common language, very few even understand the dialect we subjectively speak, it’s What Drives Human Behavior, especially when it comes to authenticity and leadership. Even though it is the most critical language a human could learn, we are all conditioned to dismiss it as “unimportant.”

If you’ve ever been in an argument with someone who was upset with you and you had no understanding of why it’s because of a breakdown in this language.

Maybe now you’ve guessed that it’s the language of emotion. That’s because every human being has their own “emotional logic.” Our emotional logic is born of our individually unique Emotional Source Code, it’s What Drives Human Behavior.

Vickie—Soulful Healer. Transformational Guide. Sacred Space Creator. Intuitive Mentor. Trauma Alchemist.

Embarking on the path of a Transformational Coach was a profound calling that emerged from the depths of my own transformative journey. In 1980, I faced the heart-wrenching loss of a full-term stillborn, and then, in 2017, my son left this world. These tragedies compelled me to confront the traumas I carried—childhood bullying and sexual trauma as a teen that I kept secret. Seeking guidance, I embraced a new perspective on life's experiences and delved into the timeline of my existence.
