The Pressure to Be Everything: How Valeria Lipovetsky Created a Life That’s Fully Her

What does it take to build a life and career that's fully, unapologetically yours? In this episode (part 1 of 2), Danielle sits down with entrepreneur and creator Valeria Lipovetsky for a conversation that's less of an interview, and more of a mirror. They toss out the question cards, ditch the formal intros, and dive straight into the good stuff: ambition, motherhood, marriage, sex, social media, fertility, and the surprising superpower of asking better questions. Valeria shares:

• Why she never went to therapy—and what finally changed her mind
• The single moment that cracked open her authenticity
• Her unexpected (and poetic) obsession with secondhand shoes
• The timeline pressures no one tells women about—and what helped her reclaim her own
• The hardest season in her marriage—and how they're finding their renaissance now
• Why her son taught her more about self-confidence than any book ever could
• Her honest take on growing a massive following while still feeling like she's figuring it out
• The rules she broke to build a multi-million dollar business—and the one phrase that still haunts her from childhood

This is part one of a two-part conversation—come back next week for even more.
