If you’ve spent any time following me online, you already know I wear many crowns—wife, advocate, stepmom, nonprofit president, cat mom, Mrs. New York American 2024, and professional listener. But there’s one passion I’ve kept mostly ringside… until now. I’m a lifelong pro wrestling fan. That’s right—while I may know my way around a pageant stage, I also know a thing or two about a steel cage match, the pop of a surprise return, and the exact moment a heel turn changes everything. WWE has always been more than just entertainment for me. It’s a place where storytelling, athleticism, passion, and persona collide in the most electrifying way. The drama, the resilience, the rivalries—it’s theatrical, larger than life, and yet so deeply human. And let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like yelling “WHAT?!” at your screen like a proud member of the WWE Universe. So I’ve decided: it’s time to start sharing that side of myself more intentionally. Starting now, I’ll be posting my thoughts, hot takes, and reviews of WWE events—RAW, SmackDown, Premium Live Events, and whatever chaos The Bloodline stirs up next—across my Instagram, Facebook, and stories. Expect highlights, lowlights, entrance commentary, gear analysis (because let’s be real, ring fashion deserves its own spotlight), and lots of “Did you see that?!” moments. I’m not here to be a critic—I’m here to be a fan, a fangirl, a fellow member of the WWE-loving community. Whether you’ve been watching since the Attitude Era or just discovered Roman Reigns’ entrance theme last week, I hope you’ll join me. Let’s celebrate the moments that make us cheer, gasp, and occasionally scream at our TVs. So tell me—who’s your current fave in WWE right now? Slide into the comments or my DMs. I’m ready to talk shop. Let’s rumble. 🔥 #VictoriaWejko #WWEFan #WrestlingIsForEveryone #PageantsAndPowerbombs #MrsNYAmerican
There’s a quiet moment that hits after you’ve accomplished something big.
At first, it’s celebration. Gratitude. Relief. You’ve done it! You’ve climbed the mountain. Planted the flag. Smiled through the tears. But then… the stillness. And if you’re anything like me—a woman driven by purpose, coffee, and just the right amount of sparkly chaos—that stillness doesn’t stay quiet for long. When I was crowned Mrs. New York American 2024, it was a dream realized. A goal years in the making. Behind that moment were hours of training, community service, advocacy, reflection, and support from people who believed in me—even on the days I wasn’t sure I believed in myself. But as I passed the crown on (or rather, kept wearing it in spirit while shifting into my next season), a new question quietly surfaced: Now what? The Myth of “Arrival” We often treat big goals like finish lines. Get the degree. Land the job. Win the title. Launch the program. Cue the inspirational montage music and roll credits. But life doesn’t work like that. If anything, each accomplishment simply opens a door to a new hallway. And that next hallway? It’s up to you to explore. So when I found myself in that post-accomplishment pause, I did what I always do—I journaled, prayed, and made a spreadsheet (because we love a Type A moment). Let the Mission Evolve I realized something important: the heart of my mission hadn’t changed. I’m still here to serve, to advocate, to be a voice for childhood trauma survivors, and to help women, children, and families know they’re not alone. But the shape of the mission? That was ready to evolve. Now, instead of preparing for pageant week, I’m mentoring other women through their own journeys. I’m speaking more boldly about the long-term healing journey after trauma. I’m shaping programs and leading nonprofits with the same heart that took me to the Mrs. American stage. 3 Ways I’m Finding New Goals That Still Align With My Purpose 1. Reflect Before You Reset Give yourself permission to rest and reflect before rushing into “what’s next.” What did this last season teach you? What parts lit you up? What parts drained you? Let those answers guide your next steps. 2. Say Yes to the Scary Stuff I’ve learned that if it makes your palms sweat and your heart race (in a good way)—it might just be the right next goal. For me, that looks like planning a podcast, expanding my “You Are Not Alone” platform, and speaking at conferences. 3. Let Identity Drive Intentions You’re not what you accomplish—you’re who you are while doing it. When you know who you are, you can find meaningful goals in any season. I’m still a wife, a stepmom, a nonprofit leader, and an advocate. Those roles are more than enough fuel for bold new dreams. You’re Not Starting Over—You’re Leveling Up So if you’re reading this after achieving something major, first—congratulations. I see you. And second—don’t panic if the “what now?” creeps in. That’s not a crisis. That’s your soul stretching. You’re not starting from scratch; you’re starting from strength. Let’s climb the next mountain—together. The view’s about to get even better.
