  • Episode 11: How Victoria Built Products People Love, Burned Out and Turned That Into Her Life's Work
    Apr 22 2026

    Victoria Colombato left home at 18. No plan. Just courage.


    What followed was a decade across 6 continents - leading growth teams at Mercado Libre and MURAL, learning how to build products people genuinely love by understanding not just systems, but people.


    Then burnout hit. And the version of success she'd built stopped feeling like her own.


    She tried everything. Therapy. Journaling. Breathwork. Nothing stuck.


    Then she found hypnotherapy - and for the first time, something actually shifted.


    In this episode we learn how Victoria rebuilt her identity from the inside out, what burnout really looks like when you're winning on paper, and how that journey became Tabula Rasa; a business helping high-achievers navigate their own moments of transition. This one went places we didn't expect.

    From a shy, bullied kid to finding his voice as a migrant in Australia and amassing millions of views, Shiv’s journey wasn’t built overnight. Arriving as an international student with English as a second language, he struggled with confidence, identity, and belonging.

    After knocking on 8,000 doors in sales, he learned the real rules of confidence and human connection. In this episode of The Migrant Mentor Podcast, we explore storytelling, self-belief, and why the most powerful communicators focus on being interested, not just interesting.
