Victoria Alvarado shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Good morning Victoria , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
For years I hid behind privacy and perfectionism, worried that showing the messy, human side of my work would make it less sacred. Now I’m answering a call to be both healer and witness: to teach openly, to speak on stages and in videos, and to build offerings that reach people who need real transformation. It’s scary to be visible, but vulnerability is where true connection and powerful healing begin — and I’m finally letting that light through.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I am Victoria Alvarado, a spiritual teacher, intuitive, and healer devoted to helping others align with their soul’s purpose. For over 17 years, I’ve worked with tarot, energy healing, and ritual magic, blending ancient practices with modern wisdom. My brand is rooted in empowerment — teaching people not just to receive guidance, but to embody their own magic. What makes my work unique is the way I combine intuitive accuracy with practical tools that clients can carry into their daily lives. Right now, I’m creating programs and offerings designed to help people manifest abundance, find clarity, and reconnect with their inner light.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that I am releasing is the one that doubted my own worth. For too long, I held onto perfectionism, fear of judgment, and the idea that I had to prove myself in order to be “enough.” That self once protected me — it kept me careful, thoughtful, and deeply compassionate with others. But now it has served its purpose. Today, I recognize that my worth doesn’t need validation. I am ready to step into my calling with confidence, visibility, and authenticity. Releasing the self-doubt makes space for a higher version of me: one who knows she belongs in every room, who trusts her gifts, and who can serve others with greater clarity and strength.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes — I nearly quit. After 17 years of doing readings, teaching, and appearing on TV and radio, a period came when my audience dwindled and my confidence did, too. I felt lost trying to navigate social media and new ways of showing up, and I wondered if the path I had poured my life into still mattered. What pulled me back was remembering the people I’d helped, the transformations I’d witnessed, and the small, steady practice of showing up for myself each day. That slow, faithful return rebuilt my courage and reshaped how I serve.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is real — every word, every reading, every ritual comes from my heart. But of course, it’s only one layer of who I am. What people see is the teacher, the healer, the guide. What they don’t always see is the woman who has to pep-talk herself before going live, who sometimes doubts whether she’s doing enough, or who quietly cries when the energy of the world feels heavy. Both are true. I’ve learned that my public self is the part of me that steps forward to serve, while my private self is the part that restores and remembers why I do this work. Together, they make me whole. I think that balance is what keeps my work authentic — and human.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What light inside you have you been dimming?
For too long I dimmed the part of me that wanted to be seen. Now I let that light shine — unapologetically, and with joy.”
