When we sat down to record this episode with Former Texas State Representative, Victoria Neave, I knew we were going to have a powerful conversation—but I didn’t realize just how much it would stay with me afterward.
This wasn’t just about politics, or policy, or even her impressive track record as a Texas State Representative. It was about legacy. Courage. And what it truly means to bet on yourself.
Victoria walked away from a “safe” seat, challenged the status quo, and did it not out of ego—but out of conviction.
That’s leadership.
That’s what walking in purpose looks like.
She reminded me—and I hope reminded you—that faith is fuel. That doors don’t stay closed if we’re brave enough to knock—or bold enough to walk through them ourselves. That leadership, at its core, is about opening doors for others, not just ourselves.
Whether she was fighting to pass the Lavinia Masters Act, mentoring the next generation of Latina leaders, or calling out her own party when it fell short—Victoria chose truth over comfort. She chose legacy over fear. And that’s the kind of energy we need more of right now.
For anyone listening who’s standing on the edge of a decision, wondering if now’s the time to leap: it is.
Bet on yourself.
You don’t need permission. Your destiny isn’t waiting on someone else’s vote—it’s waiting on your commitment.
Victoria said it best: “If you doubt your destiny, you’re the one closing the door.”
Let that sink in.
To Victoria—thank you for your service, your story, and your voice. You’ve walked the walk, and now you’re paving a way for others to follow.
Until next time: keep betting on yourself. And take care of each other.
