About Victoria:

She is a cheerleader at heart and not afraid to offer straightforward empowering messages. EVERYTHING is about perspective in astrology and interpretations vary from different schools of thought. She is mostly self-taught, but influenced by: Carl Jung, Dane Rudhyar, Jeffrey Wolf Green, Evolutionary Astrology, Alice Bailey, Esoteric Astrology, Melanie Reinhardt, Liz Greene, and many other brilliant cosmically attuned Teachers. She feels one of her great gifts is synthesizing many different streams of information and teachings into messages for the Highest Good without being confined by any one particular system. She primarily uses the Tropical Zodiac and Placidus house system - she feels it is the most accurate.

She has been a student of astrology and all things Metaphysical since she was a teenager, over 30 years ago. She’s always had a voracious appetite for Knowledge and Information.

She founded VICTORY ASTROLOGY in January, 2018. This space is meant to share her love of astrology and help teach others how to empower themselves by learning to understand the language of Astrology, rather than seeing it as a “Belief System” or religion. It is not.

Welcome to Episode 22 of Triggers and Spiritual Medicine podcast with host, Laura Bonetzky-Joseph. Join us for amazing podcast episode on the topic of “Sexy But Psycho: How the Patriarchy Uses Their Trauma Against Them” with the incredibly powerful, Dr. Jessica Taylor.

Honestly after interviewing Dr. Jess, I've never met someone so akin to my life's work and what my soul came here to accomplish.

For those who do not know Dr. Jess ... I can't highly recommend her and her work enough. This episode is life changing. I rarely endorse anyone for good reasons. So when I do, there's a good reason and I'd stake my reputation on it.

This talk is deep, direct, and powerful while addressing the elephant in the room that affect women impacted by violence and abuse, healing, and justice while offering 3 actionable steps folks can do today.

About Dr Jessica Taylor

Dr. Jess Taylor is a leading expert Forensic psychologist who has worked extensively with PD in SA, DV, CSA and sex trafficking cases in the UK.

She is also the Director of Victim Focus, and has authored multiple international best-selling books including:

• "Why Women Are Blamed For Everything"
• "Sexy But Psycho: How the Patriarchy Uses Women's Trauma Against Them"
• and her latest "The Trauma Impact Manual".

She has made appearances on British television, including BBC Two documentary "Womanhood", and in the true crime documentary "My Lover, My Killer".

During the PhD, Jessica explored emerging perspectives and critical approaches to understanding victim blaming. She also studied advanced psychometric theory and created the BOWSVA Scale (a validated psychometric which has the ability to measure victim blaming attitudes of women subjected to sexual violence and abuse).

Jessica had a vision for an independent organization that could challenge, change and influence millions of people to understand that victim blaming, misogyny and pathologization was embedded into every system in the world, and so in April 2017, she launched VictimFocus.

In April 2020, Jessica released ‘Why Women Are Blamed For Everything’ self-publishing in paperback. With no publisher, agent or publicist, the book caused an international conversation and celebrity endorsements resulting in 10,000 copies sold in the first six weeks. 

In March 2022, 'Sexy But Psycho' was released and went straight to Sunday Times Best Seller, entering at #5 in the national non-fiction book chart.
