Hi, I'm Vicky Samios, and I help couples and high achievers to have this optimal life that they can't even imagine because they might be doing really well in business, but in their personal life, they may be suffering. And I can tell you from experience, it all starts with you. Today's a prime example. I have just literally come back from a glam session where I've had a glow up, and you can see my beautiful locks. I feel really feminine and I've, I've never had hair this long. I've been able to grow it this long, but I've had a lot of cheats this year already. This year I have had AI help me to make this best version of myself. I've used it for what foods I should eat, knowing that I have my thyroid issues, to help me create meal plans. I have used AI to also help me realized sort of what exercises I need to do and put me onto a PT really, 'cause I knew I couldn't do them on my own. And I thought, what are these things? And so I'm really grateful to all the people who have helped me get to where I am now. You can see I'm much stronger, I'm leaner, I'm gonna stand up so you can see, I'm leaner, and now I get to focus on me. Please, please, please do yourself a favor, women out there and the men too, Stop abandoning yourself. I literally just had this conversation with my sister and I said, "The country killed me. Killed my spirit, killed my personality, killed everything." I thought it was just dentistry, but I can't blame dentistry alone. Look, let's just stop right here. If anyone here is thinking, "Hey, I'm a woman who has these issues. This is exactly what's going on in my life." Just text +61 433 546016 to my WhatsApp. The link is also below in the comments and let's jump on a call. What's 15 minutes and what have you got to lose? Let's do this, let's start a conversation, 'cause I wanna find out exactly what's going on for you. Let's change your life, let's get that full life. I blame myself, it's my own decisions of making some life decisions which were great in areas, but in other areas like my identity, like my personality, like the way that I express myself, it hushed me even further because I couldn't go walking around in Camila clothes on a street in the middle of nowhere where I was living, where there's less than 3,000 people, like that's how small the town was. And I dulled myself and I dressed myself down from the inside out and slowly, slowly, the inside of me died too. Really grateful for the experience. Was the timing right? No, not where I was at when I just met my husband and we moved even before we were married. And we went through IVF, like if that wasn't an alarm bell to say, "Hey, move closer to the city or somewhere else." then I don't know what was, but we had a thriving business. I was overworking and I forgot who I was, and now I'm back. And thank God we're in a society and in a time in our life where we can be whoever we want to be. Back to AI. AI also helped me with my appearance. So I don't know if you all did this trend around Christmas time where you put this ChatGPT prompt in and it let you It came up with a photo of you holding a lollipop and then some people did other things. Mine was the lollipop. I'm gonna put it up right now so you'll see it now. That's what made me get this amazing hair. It didn't grow overnight. I didn't have the patience. I've been waiting for 10 months for my hair to grow and it didn't grow taking the supplements. Now the last 3, 4 months I've been taking care of my body and I feel freaking awesome and I want you to feel amazing as well. So if this is your little wake-up call, you need to start stop, and I want to use the word that my mentor Andy Elliot used. He said, stop bitching around and start doing. And I'm like, wow, I needed that. And so I did. I needed to step up. I knew I needed to step up on every level. And for me, for me, my hair makes me feel like a woman. I feel so feminine. And I now wake up every single morning putting my makeup on, and I've ordered a whole heap of makeup from Mecca, and I've asked ChatGPT for that too. How do I apply all these new gadgets and tints and highlights and whatever else I got. I'm waiting for them to come. Actually, I might have a box here. I think my husband picked it up. It's probably in the car, 'cause it made it to the post office and I was like, "Peter, go pick it up!" And I also had another painting to pick up. But my message to you is so clear. Stop abandoning yourself, start putting yourself first, start realizing that you are in control of much more than you believe. And I really want all of the women out there and the men, because Peter's doing a glow up too. First thing he did was shave his head. He looks so damn sexy. And it all began because we got around the right mentors, around the right people, and we're still around the right people. You need to get around the right people. You cannot think that you can do it alone and that you can achieve big things on your own. I achieved heaps. Anyone would say, wow, you've opened 3 dental practices, you've achieved so much, you're amazing. I'm like, that's not good enough. Because I missed out on a whole heap of other stuff because I put all my focus and energy in that. So what do you choose to put your focus and energy in? Because that's what's holding you back. It is not other people or complaining about how you grew up or what they've taught you. It's your own limitations. I now have limitless goals and dreams, and I've had that for a while. Now I'm actually implementing. And we have such great tools like AI to help us get there. I even looked up and I said, give me the top 5 hairdressers that do extensions that are near me. And then I looked at them and then I had a good feeling about this one. And I'm so grateful that I went there and I had amazing Rebecca do my hair and she was wonderful. I was well taken care of, I relaxed, and look at the outcome, okay? I'm feminine again. This is so easy to take care of as well. What are you waiting for? Permission? I give you permission. I give you the permission for you to be sexy. I give you the permission for you to lose weight and start being yourself. I give you the permission to go and talk to your husband or your wife. I'm talking to all of you here and to mend that relationship and to stop being so scared to talk about things. Stop ignoring. Problems don't go away. Problems just compound and get bigger. So why not start solving them so they can start diminishing? Because I can tell you, at the core of all your problems It is you. And you don't wanna hear this, but I'm just gonna be frank. It is you. If you don't feel like getting up in the morning, well, there's some decisions you need to make to change it. If you don't feel like fixing yourself and glamming up, and I know it's not for everyone. Like, I have makeup-free days too. But when I dress up, I feel like myself. I feel feminine. And this is just the beginning for me. This is like version 10.0. You might be at version 2.0. Just start, start being that new version of you now. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for like a thunderbolt lightning to come and shake things up or an earthquake to go, "Oh, now I'm gonna change." Or that moment like I nearly had last year in October, one month after my 43rd birthday, where they found a lump in my right breast. Still got the lump. And I thank God 6 days later after my biopsy that I do not have breast cancer. And I don't want you to get to that point. They were the worst 6 days. I had 2 sets of worst days in my life. I nearly lost my son last year. If they're not wake-up calls, I just, I don't know what it is. And I want you to wake up. I honestly want you to wake up and to see that life is beautiful. Start immersing yourself in experiences. Start taking care of yourself. Go to the gym. Go for a walk. Start with 5,000 steps as your target every day. I do 10. Some days I do 15 if I feel really good. But I also listen to my body. And women, you've gotta listen to your body. Some days you can push hard, other days you can't. Just show up. And do things that help you show up better and better every day. You can tell how passionate I am. I want you to win at life, and I want you to have that full life, and you can have it. Peter and I are working so hard at it. We're changing so many things in our lifestyle. We wanna be around our kids more. We wanna just experience life, travel. Educate our children, not because we weren't educated, we're very highly educated, we've been to university. I've had two degrees, Peter's done his business degree, I'm a pharmacist and a dentist, and I've had all these certifications. Last year was my year of certifications. I love learning, and somewhere along the line I'd lost myself. Do not lose yourself. I'm here to help you. DM Mentor, the number is on the screen, you will see it, it is right there, and I'm gonna leave it up Even more. Hey, dear mentor, time to give to yourself, time to look beautiful, time to feel freaking awesome like I am. Go and live your life, that full life, and I'm here to help you get that full life. Let's go.
