Today we’d like to introduce you to Vickie Poole.
Hi Vickie, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I’ve been a hairstylist for over 30 years, and I loved it. I was genuinely happy doing hair—connecting with people, hearing their stories, and watching how something as simple as feeling good about yourself could change your whole day. In a way, I’ve always been in the confidence business… I just didn’t call it that yet.
Over time though, I became a yo-yo dieter. I knew how to “be good.” I could follow a plan. I could lose weight. But eventually I would gain it back, and I’d find myself right where I started. After repeating that cycle enough times, I finally admitted something that changed everything: the problem wasn’t knowledge or willpower. The real issue was that my patterns had roots.
That’s when I decided to hire a health coach. And then another thought hit me—if I invest real money and time into becoming a health coach myself, I won’t just change temporarily… I’ll change for life. I also knew that if I did this work for me, I could help other people too. That’s how it began. I became a health coach for my own health.
Once I started learning, I couldn’t stop. I went on to study life coaching and master transformational coaching because I wanted to understand what truly creates lasting change. And I did change in many ways. But I started noticing something, both in myself and in the people I worked with: even when things improved, old habits could creep back in slowly. It wasn’t dramatic—it was sneaky. And it made me curious. Why do we fall back into patterns even when we’re doing everything “right”?
That question is what led me to hypnosis.
I decided to try it, and it completely opened a new world. Hypnosis helped me understand identity, subconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and the deeper “programming” behind our behavior. I fell in love with it so much that I went on to earn five hypnosis certifications—and I’m still learning, still training, still fascinated by what’s possible when we work with the subconscious mind instead of fighting it.
What I discovered is that nearly every issue people bring me—weight loss, sleep, stress, confidence, changing careers, speaking up, relationships, business growth—comes back to one thing: what they believe about themselves. Their internal story shapes their actions, and their actions shape their life.
And money is one of the biggest belief categories there is. There isn’t a person alive who hasn’t been influenced by money beliefs. Even people who have “plenty” can still live from fear—feeling like they have to earn more, prove more, or protect themselves from losing it. Money beliefs often connect to self-worth, safety, and the permission to receive.
Today, my work is centered around helping people shift the beliefs that shape their health, their relationships, and their financial reality. Because when your beliefs change, your choices change. And when your choices change, your whole life starts to look different.
At the end of the day, I’m passionate about helping people stop recycling old patterns and start living from who they’re becoming. That’s the real transformation—when your life finally matches your truth.
(And yes… life is delicious.)
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road—and honestly, I don’t think the meaningful ones ever are.
One of my biggest struggles in the beginning was my own limiting beliefs. When I was a young girl, my grandmother once said that I “didn’t finish things.” There was no real truth to it, but I carried it as if it was a fact about me. And for a long time, that belief shaped my behavior—I would start something, feel doubt creep in, and then quietly abandon it.
That’s actually part of why I chose to invest in becoming a coach. At the time, it felt like an enormous financial commitment, but I knew I needed something that would hold me accountable and prove to myself that I could follow through. I did finish—and then I kept going. Health coaching led to life coaching, then to master transformational coaching, and eventually to hypnosis.
But even as I grew, I still had beliefs like “I don’t deserve this,” or “if it comes too easily, it must not count.” Those internal stories were some of the hardest hurdles because they don’t always look like obvious fear—they show up quietly in your decisions, your confidence, and what you allow yourself to receive.
Another challenge was learning how to use my voice. For years, I didn’t always speak my truth because I didn’t want to upset anyone. That’s a big part of why I started my podcast, Today’s Dream, Tomorrow’s Reality—it became a space where I could fully express myself. And what surprised me most was how healing it was to interview people who had been through so much. Their courage and honesty helped me reframe my own story in a completely new way.
I like to say we live a “mosaic life”—all the pieces, the good and the hard, come together to create who we are. And while my journey has included plenty of twists, challenges, and growth edges, I’m genuinely proud of who I’ve become. I’ve learned that the obstacles weren’t just delays—they were part of the transformation.
That’s also why I wrote my book, The Light Beyond the Map, about the Hero’s Journey—because that longing to change, paired with the courage to keep going, is what eventually creates the breakthrough. Looking back, I can honestly say: I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Today, I’m a master transformational coach and board-certified hypnotist, and my work centers around one core mission: helping people change the beliefs that quietly shape their choices, patterns, and results.
I specialize in belief transformation—the kind that goes deeper than motivation or “just think positive.” Most people already know what they should do. Where they get stuck is what they believe about themselves, what they expect to happen, what they think they deserve, and what feels safe or familiar. That’s where I come in.
Clients come to me for many different reasons—stress, confidence, weight, sleep, visibility, relationships, business growth—but the common thread is always the same: their internal story is running the show. I’m known for helping people identify the real belief underneath the pattern, shift it at the subconscious level, and then build a new identity that actually supports the life they want.
A big part of my work also includes money mindset because money touches everything—safety, worthiness, power, freedom, and even love. I’ve created a program called Rewrite Your Money Story, and I love helping people recognize their “financial thermostat”—the invisible limit they keep bumping into without realizing it. When that shifts, the ripple effect is huge.
What I’m most proud of is that I’ve built this work from lived experience. I didn’t come into this field with a perfect life or flawless confidence—I came into it with a willingness to evolve. I’ve done the messy middle. I’ve rewritten my own patterns. And now I get to help other people do the same, with compassion and real tools that create lasting change.
What sets me apart is the way I blend coaching, hypnosis, and practical strategy so clients don’t just feel inspired—they actually change. I’m both heart-centered and results-driven. I can hold space for the emotional truth and guide someone into consistent action, because transformation requires both.
At the end of the day, I’m known for helping people stop recycling old versions of themselves and finally become the person they’ve been waiting for. And that’s the work I’ll always be proud of.
How do you think about luck?
I don’t really think in terms of luck—good or bad. I see life as a series of experiences, and what matters most is what we choose to do with them.
I’ve had moments that were difficult and moments that were beautiful, but I don’t view either as “luck.” I believe every experience can either weigh you down or become a catalyst that shapes you, strengthens you, and moves you forward. The hard seasons have taught me resilience and self-trust. The good seasons have expanded what I believe is possible.
In both life and business, I’ve learned that growth isn’t about waiting for something lucky to happen—it’s about responding with intention, learning the lesson, and continuing to become who you’re meant to be. And for me, that journey is still unfolding. I’m still growing, still evolving, and still creating.
So if there’s any “luck” in my story, I’d say it’s the willingness to keep going—and to let every chapter help build the next one.
