Victoria Budd

Future focus:

 “I believe that the past doesn’t define who we are but helps us learn who and what we are capable of becoming.”

Straight shooter:

 Victoria’s best friends love her no-nonsense personality. “I don’t sugar coat things – I say it how it is.”

Nothing but a number

: “I went back to school at 33 to become a massage therapist, first stepped on stage as a fitness competitor at 36, had my son at 39, and am in the initial stages of becoming an empowerment expert at 41!”

A tough one:

 Victoria says she is a tomboy at heart – she was in cadets for eight years and briefly served in the army.

A life-changer

: “No matter how much people say the love you have for your children is different, you are not prepared for that feeling until your own child is laid upon your chest after birth!” Thinking about that moment with her son still brings tears to her eyes.
