Discovering My Purpose
Discovering My Purpose: The Story Behind Victoria Delancey
Welcome to VictoriaDelancey.com! I’m Victoria Delancey, and I’m thrilled to have you here. This blog is my passion project, a space where I share my journey, insights, and experiences in the realms of lifestyle and weight loss. Today, I want to delve into the purpose behind my personal brand, and why I started this blog. And how I’m just now discovering my purpose.
A Journey Rooted in Family
Family is at the heart of everything I do. As a stay-at-home mom for the past 18 years to five amazing children, my life has been a whirlwind of challenges, triumphs, and growth. My husband, a former United States Marine and veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, has faced his own battles with inner demons. During those times, I’ve often had to rely on my own strength and resilience. Blogging has been my outlet and a source of stability throughout these experiences.
My oldest son, now 20, serves in the Army National Guard as a Blackhawk Mechanic, proudly following in his stepfather’s footsteps, my 17-year-old daughter is a budding entrepreneur with dreams of starting her own business(es) after high school. My 15-year-old is exploring her passions in digital imaging and photography. Our 12-year-old, who is on the Autism Spectrum and has ADHD and ODD, thrives in a virtual learning environment and is learning the ropes of daily life skills. Our youngest, 10, is a bright, bubbly, and talented part of her school chorus.
My family’s diverse experiences and challenges have deeply influenced my perspective and the content I create.
Overcoming Adversity
Life hasn’t always been easy. My three older children and I are survivors of abuse, and my first marriage ended after years of mental, emotional, physical, and financial torment. These experiences have made me resilient and driven, instilling in me a profound understanding of the struggles many people face.
I started this blog to share my story, hoping to inspire others who may be going through similar challenges. By opening up about my journey, I aim to create a supportive community where readers feel understood and empowered.
The Lifestyle Component
VictoriaDelancey.com isn’t just about my personal journey; it’s also a resource for practical lifestyle advice. From managing a busy household to balancing family responsibilities with personal goals, I cover a wide range of topics that resonate with parents and individuals striving to improve their lives.
Whether it’s organizing your home, finding time for self-care, or navigating the complexities of raising children with special needs, I share tips and strategies that have worked for me. My hope is that by sharing these insights, I can help others find balance and joy in their everyday lives.
A Focus on Weight Loss
Weight loss is a significant part of my personal journey and my blog. Like many others, I’ve struggled with weight and body image issues. Over the years, I’ve tried countless diets and exercise routines, learning valuable lessons along the way.
On this blog, I provide honest, evidence-based advice on weight loss. I discuss everything from nutrition and fitness to the emotional and psychological aspects of weight management. My goal is to offer realistic, sustainable strategies that help readers achieve their health goals without feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.
Empowering Others
Ultimately, the purpose of VictoriaDelancey.com is to empower others. I want to create a space where people feel inspired to take control of their lives, whether it’s through improving their health, organizing their homes, or overcoming personal challenges.
I believe in the power of community and the importance of sharing our stories. By connecting with others and offering support, we can all grow and thrive together.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means the world to me, and I hope that through my blog, I can make a positive impact on your life.
