Summary
Alex and Mimi talk to Valeria Lipovetsky about her journey as one of the fastest growing and engaging YouTube content creators who has grown to almost a million subscribers in less than 3 years. In this episode, Valeria shares amazing advice on life, business and relationships for you to implement into your dream life.
As a late starter to the blogging world Valeria talks about her first exposure to YouTube. How at first she battled her beliefs, that she might not be good enough and after spending her childhood trying purposefully to be invisible, she soon realised that no one ‘does her’ better than she does. Every voice can find an audience.
She takes us behind the mindset changes that needed to happen to become who she has become today, sharing stories of how her introversion shaped her into a better observer, who could step back at any moment and see a much deeper, bigger picture.
Her story is one of taking action for herself, finding her own voice and the best ways to communicate it with authenticity.
“I had to be that saviour, I had to be my own hero, no one is going to come save you” - Valeria
Here’s what we get into:
- Mindset vs self-awareness - how taking power into your own hands stops the world from deciding on your behalf.
- How copying others isn’t enough, that only your authentic self can win
- We question does balance really exist?
- Visions vs making an actual change - the need to be consistently taking action and judging yourself only on one simple question - ‘have you done your best’?
- The importance of over communicating in relationships and some great tips on how to avoid slowly destroying a good one.
- Blind motivation Vs contextualism - who should we be really learning from.
- Dealing with haters.
- Using ego and criticism as a mirror for growth.

| 0:00.0 | Hello my beautiful friends and welcome to the icons podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm really excited to be here today to share with you this new podcast episode with Valerie Lipovetski. |
| 0:14.0 | I've met her actually virtually about a year ago and ever since I've discovered her, I wanted to get to know her better. |
| 0:21.0 | And I'm so excited that on this podcast episode, we literally interviewed her right after the dinner. |
| 0:27.0 | The dinner was our first time meeting her at our house in London. We had a lovely dinner with her and her husband Gary. |
| 0:33.0 | And then we just did the podcast. So I'm literally getting to know her as you're gonna get to know her today in this podcast episode. |
| 0:40.0 | Valerie is a very special person, human woman because she's accomplished so many interesting things for somebody who is only 28 years old. |
| 0:50.0 | I still have to remind myself of her age because at 28 years, she's already has three kids. |
| 0:56.0 | She's a successful businesswoman. She's reaching almost a million YouTube subscribers and she's only started her channel maybe not even three years ago. |
| 1:05.0 | I think she started in 2016 so it hasn't been full three years yet. And in this short time, she has reached and inspired so many people around the world. |
| 1:14.0 | And I absolutely love what she does and I'm really, really excited to get all the insights and inspirations for you guys. |
| 1:21.0 | So let's get started. Hi, my lady. |
| 1:24.0 | Hello. So what I know by you is that you haven't been on YouTube for a long time, right? When did you get on YouTube? |
| 1:31.0 | 2016. 2016. And why did you even get on YouTube in the first place? Like what brought you to YouTube as a content creator? |
| 1:41.0 | Well, it was actually after I finished my holistic nutrition program. I got my certificate and I started a blog. |
| 1:49.0 | A blog in 2016 was a little late to the game. So it was very difficult for me to really get it going. |
| 1:57.0 | And the blog was actually started after I started seeing clients and I just found that it was very difficult for me to get my message across as many people as I could because you know you meet one on one. |
| 2:10.0 | It takes a very long time. So that's what kind of came to me. You know, a blog would be a great idea. |
| 2:16.0 | A blog wasn't a great idea because no one was reading anymore. So the next thing for me, I kind of said and I thought what would be the scariest thing I could do right now to really shake my world. |
| 2:29.0 | But that will expose me to the biggest group of people that I can to spread my message because I had the information and I wanted to give it for free. |
| 2:38.0 | After seeing clients and you know, charging them per hour, I was just understood that it just didn't feed my soul anymore. |
| 2:44.0 | I just wanted to give everything, put it everything out there and YouTube was a platform I didn't know much about. I only used YouTube for music. |
