In this episode, I sit down with Valeria Lipovetsky, a woman whose journey from the world of modeling to the heights of entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspiring. I first met Valeria two years ago at a personal growth retreat in Ibiza, and since then, I’ve been deeply moved by her relentless drive, her commitment to self-improvement, and her ability to gracefully navigate the many roles she plays—as a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and content creator.

Together, we explore the pivotal moments that shaped Valeria’s life, from her upbringing to her career in modeling, and her bold transition into the entrepreneurial world. Valeria opens up about the challenges she faced in starting her first business, Verie. We dive into her YouTube career, where she shares how she stays true to herself amidst the pressures of public life, and what it takes to maintain authenticity in a digital age.

Valeria also offers invaluable insights into balancing work with marriage, revealing the key factors that have helped her and her husband, Gary, thrive both personally and professionally. We discuss the complexities of motherhood, the ever-present tension between ambition and contentment, and how she confronts self-doubt while striving for growth.

This episode is a deep dive into the life of a woman who is constantly evolving, learning, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a creative at heart, or someone seeking inspiration in your personal life, Valeria’s story will leave you with valuable lessons on how to define and pursue your own path to success.
