Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
It's Jackson.
It's your favorite show. The fast five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. I sound amazing. Welcome back to the Toast Jackson Friends Wednesday Hump Day. I am joined by Valeria Lipovetsky. Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you for having me. And you pronounce my name so well.
Thank you. I pronounce everything wrong, like as a rule. I don't intend to do it. I just pronounce it how I see it. But your name is very phonetic. It's pronounced the way that it's spelled. That really works for me.
You'll be surprised how many times and how many versions of it I've heard before. So thank you. What do people say? Valerie. Valerie. Lipotetsky. Like, there's missing words, letters. Like, there's a lot of things.
I understand. Okay, well, yay, gold star for me. I finally got a pronunciation. It's a good start.
We're off on a good start.
I'm so excited that you are here. You are a massive creator, YouTuber, TikToker, Instagrammer, podcaster. Mm-hmm. I actually first discovered you through your podcast because I feel like everyone has probably seen your face on their feed at some point because your clips like go really viral. You also create a lot of viral content.
And now you also do the creator method, which is like a online class to teach creators how to become creators.

Chapter 2: How does Valeria manage content creation and motherhood?
This conversation comes up a lot, obviously, like as just women in general, but I feel like I've been having it more often of like, Timing and kids and career and like when is the right time to put your career a little bit on the back burner because things do suffer when you're prioritizing something else.
Yeah, I think the biggest challenge for women is to understand that you can have it all just not. At the same time. So the timeline we're fighting against a traditional timeline are, you know, biological timeline. And then the opportunities that are out there now for us, because you want to you can you have access to do everything that you want to do. So it's very disorienting, I have to say.
Yeah, it is. But you're crushing it. Listen, some days are better than others. Yeah. So how do you go about a typical day? Like how do you devote how much time you want to do to like content creation? Because you also do in addition to like running your business and doing a podcast, which is called Not Alone, which like speaks to what you were talking about of the loneliness of content creation.
You also create like a lot of viral like reels. I'm not on TikTok, but I'm sure it's like TikTok-y content. Yeah. The stuff that you post on reels. And thank you for posting it on Instagram for those of us who aren't on TikTok. Yeah.
I know I try to be very inclusive when it comes to all the content. How do I run through it? I mean, honestly, I have a team behind me and I think that people don't realize how much support like I really over index on support. And that's something that I had to learn the hard way. Speaking of burnout.
I feel like I did a classic mistake of most women where like we just take it more and more upon ourselves and we can do it better than anyone else and let me just figure this out. And I crashed really badly and it was like a big wake up call when my husband Gary was also my business partner came to me and he's like, there's no novelty in you running yourself to the ground.
Like you're not gonna be walking around with metal stars. And I was like, oh yeah, metal stars, gold stars. They're metal. And I was like, oh, you know. Metals. Oh, metals.
Yeah.
God, okay.

Chapter 3: What is the Creator Method and how does it work?
But part of our strength is really like the emotional intelligence and that place of like really bringing in the creative, you know, and coming up with this idea. So I am learning how to make more space for that. That's like my superpower as an entrepreneur. Yeah.
No, that's good. And I feel like that's a lesson that you do have to learn the hard way and like comes over time. Yeah. Because when you're first starting out, it's like, well, I don't want to do less. I want to do more. Like, of course, like, you know, that's a awesome mentality. Yeah, that's a mark of success, too. And like, you do have to do the most to get to a certain place.
And then you can like look down from the top of the mountain and be like, okay, what do I want to water and like focus on? Yeah, exactly. So here we are.
Here we are. So that's the era you're in. That's the era I'm in, the do less era, but reap the most amount of benefit.
Yeah, no, that's a skill in itself.
And I feel like I reached that point because the first, like I've been doing this for eight years. Okay. And you have to grind. You have to really put in the extra, extra work. You have to go through the burnout. Like all these steps are part of the process. And I feel like now I reach this point where I'm like, OK, now I can step back a little bit. I have system in place.
You know, there's I know what I'm doing, so I can take a breath now. Yeah. So how did you get your start? So for me, it started with actually a blog. Well, actually, I'll take you a little bit back. I came from modeling, so I started doing modeling at 15, 16 and had the opportunity to travel the world, you know, make money. It was a wonderful experience.
Met my husband, got married at 21, and I've realized that I want to start a family. I don't want to do modeling anymore. So I asked myself, OK, what am I going to do next? The next thing that was really interesting to me was nutrition. So I went to learn nutrition. And when I finished school, I was like, I'm going to open up an office. Open up an office, hated seeing people.
And I realized early on that I'm not a one-on-one person at all. So I have this knowledge. I want to help people. What do I do? I went on social media. I started a blog. It was called The Modern Fox. And it was 2017, I would say. I did that for a little bit, realized that it's not challenging at all, like didn't really stretch my creativity.

Chapter 4: How has Valeria's approach to content evolved over time?
The format of my show was very complex because the Virgo in me was like, let's just give so many layers to make it feel so valuable. So it was a guest. And then in between the guests was a monologue. No, I made it so complicated. Yeah. It was this whole like you're in my head type of thing, you know? Got it.
it did not work and it was also exhausting yeah to do no it's a lot of work and i think a lot of people who are on social media are like okay well duh i'll do a podcast i like to talk i'm on camera like my personality but then you don't realize it's actually much like it's almost like simpler and more complicated than that oh yeah and especially when it comes to the conversation like it is meant to just be like simple and interesting you don't have to be like doing the most for an hour
Yeah, so I am known for doing the most until I realized that if it's not broken, don't fix it. Obviously, there were enough podcasts out there to show me that you just need to come and just have a conversation. To me, it was like, that's not enough. I need more. So I did all that and I kind of sat with myself listening to these episodes and I'm like, This is a train wreck.
So season two, we pulled back and really went back to basics. But it is a journey. And I have such a newfound respect for podcasters. Like you guys have been doing such an amazing job for all these years to really be able to come in.
on and speak in the most like open raw way it's not so simple as people think yeah because you get into your own head yeah no it's true and everyone thinks like oh i could do a podcast and go ahead try like it's not it's not so simple um but when you get it right like it's really so enjoyable for people and to do it yourself and like put that side of yourself out there i feel like even the way i think about my own social media it's like
I'm most myself on the podcast. I take my time to say what I'm thinking. I can work through a thought. I don't have to make a statement in 60 seconds and there's just no context. You can tell a story. You can take your time. You could just go on tangents. That's just how my brain is more.
But do you feel that was from the beginning or did you build that toward...
I feel like in the beginning, the podcast and probably just like you said, like we were when we started, I was maybe 25, I think. And Claudia would have been 23. And I felt I feel like the podcast was more a reflection of our like social media personalities, just like really like. But I think our social medias have changed over the years and being like more pared back and curated almost.
And the podcast has just widened too and just is like deeper, but that's also a function of us growing up and becoming mothers and just like the conversations are deeper. And we were having like so much fun in the beginning and it's always been fun and it's always been like pretty successful and popular, but I just think like the range of it has changed.

Chapter 5: What lessons has Valeria learned about entrepreneurship?
You're like, they're just busy today.
They'll be back tomorrow. And I'm happy for them because they should get busy. And then maybe they'll move on.
I think I don't have enough haters. Do you have haters? I think I do, but I feel like mine are too busy to leave comments and it bothers me.
Oh, do you think they're like hating like in their group chat? Like they're not like hating publicly. They're like, you know, with their friends hating.
I don't know. Or maybe just with themselves, but I just want them to be part of the community. Like show their engagement.
They really are.
I just also think it's a good sign that you are evoking different type of emotion. You know what I mean? It's also maybe it's the stage that I'm in, but I've always like my whole life. I really want it to be liked. And now I realize that it's it's like making me very vanilla operating in that way.
Yeah.
So I'm like, OK, I want to make sure that there's enough emotion.

Chapter 6: How does Valeria balance personal life and career?
Yeah, did you pick us for a reason? Well, I picked all of the most premium Miami influencers. But no, these topics come up a lot. Just talking to women, working women, a lot of women who are married. I actually think you're the first guest that I've had since I started this maternity leave that has kids. So that's really a nice window into new conversation for me.
Yes. With marrying young, I mean, it's different kind of I have a few different point of views here. So I married young, but I also married someone older. So he made you know, he had his life experience. He did whatever he needed to do when we met and decided to get married. Very rooted, strong foundation. And. You need that to me.
Like, I can't imagine marrying young with someone who's at the same age.
Yeah.
Because you are going through so many versions of yourself that I don't think that I'm especially for a woman. I don't know if a young man can withstand that because he's on his own going through his own kind of, you know, process.
Yeah.
So there's a lot of things at play here. So. I'm happy that I'm married young, but that he was older.
Yeah, no, that's a good point. Because if you're each changing, then the odds that you wind up being both people that want to stay together and love each other still are smaller than if like one person is like settled, constant, like knows who they are. And like you get to figure yourself out.
Yeah, and they also, you don't have certain conversations that are very vital, you know, for life.

Chapter 7: What challenges do women face in balancing career and family?
But I want to care a little bit because I tell you, I've been having certain conversations and people been, I don't know why this year, everybody's been dropping Gossip Girl references around me. I've never watched it. I don't know what they're talking about.
I feel like you would like Gossip Girl because it's very fashion. The writing is good. New York looks amazing.
think you would like it would you make a list for me of like an american starter kit you know what else you need to watch what desperate housewives have you heard of that the reality show no no that's real i wouldn't make it oh okay desperate housewives is it was a scripted show on abc it aired in like oh yes with eva longoria yeah okay it's amazing
Okay, so Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives.
Yeah, I think you'll like those.
Okay, I think I can do it. But do you think that will make me have relevant conversations today? No.
Not unless you're hanging out with me and Claudia. For relevant conversations today, I'm going to have to think about that.
I feel like is there a forum that people go on and they're just... You know what you need to do?
What? Not to self-promote. You need to listen to this show every day. Okay. Because we'll give you the news that you need to know and we'll give you like a take on it that you could just regurgitate even if you're like not really invested in the conversation.

Chapter 8: What insights does Valeria share about personal growth?
I need like, I want a vintage car.
What would your next car be, do you think? Like a little car?
No, it will never be a little car because I am a savage on the road. So I need a big car to make sure everyone sees me and that I'm coming. Where did you learn how to drive? In Israel. That should explain everything to you.
That's so funny, but you're probably a really good driver. I think so. Yeah. It's good to be aggressive.
Like I have really good reflexes. I'm just like, whoop, you know? Yeah. So I feel like I can really navigate the roads well, but I don't think a small car for me would do this world a favor. I understand.
Okay, thank you for your service in your big car. You need a cyber truck, even though that's actually also scary. It gives me headaches. Being in a Tesla?
Being in anything that Elon Musk created. I don't know what's going on there. I don't know what it is. The EMFs, they say.
Yes. But I drive a Tesla, and I am someone who's prone to migraines my whole life, and they don't give me headaches, which is just odd.
Apparently there's like a little switch that you put and then it changes the way something operates. I don't know what it is. And then you don't get headaches. So maybe you did a little switch.
