I want to see Valeria’s mom on the next podcast . What an inspirational woman .
Agree !
Yes!! Was thinking the same thing!
Yes!!! There’s so much to learn from her example.
Mee too! A lot of it was valerias moms story from how he was asking the questions
yes!!!
I love love the video but I didn’t like Gary interrupting whole conversation. Coz I love Valeria for who she is and how she speaks but in this video Gary is constantly correcting her and that killed my vibe .
I know!! And I feel like Valeria is speaking so clearly and telling stories with so many details step by step, but he would keep asking the questions that could be found in Valeria's words if he would've listened instead of keep trying to find a chance to interrupt...
When someone tells their story, what they tell and don’t want to tell is as important and telling on its own. I see that it’s hard for Gary to keep that wall from interview to partner, but best interviewers shine in active listening skills. Let the guest tell their own story without having the need to fill in the “gaps”. You wanted this podcast to be of reference for people to know Valeria’s story 😅
thanks for the constructive feedback
I fully agree. I think the commentary is very distracting.
And I don’t. I think it was great because Valeria would leave out some stuff because she didn’t feel it’s relevant but Gary understands life and things that people sometimes go through and he stopped her to fill the gaps which might have been important to someone and they indeed were important to me, to get really the inspiration and understand things better. I loved them both here. She was also very able to stop him when he was wrong, etc. I see that she is not just a little girl in this dynamic. You guys try to defend/protect her like she’s fragile, well, she’s not, they’re both doing great 😊
I relate so much when Valeria said she never did extra curricular activities and it's weird when other kids did
As a child of immigrant parents it just wasn't a thing to us, like school was plenty
I agree, same for me, it was school, and that's it. Parents couldn't afford anything else.
Well in soviet union it was very normal to hace extra curricular activities for a child. Piano lessons, dance, art, basketball and so on
@@B3damnand it was free.
As the oldest of 6, I also had no extra curricular activities because I was my mother’s helper with the kids.
It’s kinda off putting how much you interrupt and try to correct her when it’s HER story and life to tell. I understand you know a lot about her as you are her husband but us as the viewers don’t and we want her answers, not your revision of her answers. Just some feedback! Not trying to sound like a hater here.
Totally agree
Yeah it was a little bit annoying but I also think he is so proud of her and how far her family has come that he couldn’t help but make sure she included all the tiny details she’s obviously shared with him over the years. Also seeing as it’s his first guest podcast and also his wife it’d be hard to switch off normal conversation mode.
Agreed
I didn’t find it annoying at all. In some way her story is now part of his story. It’s so evident how in tune they are as partners and as a couple.
@@cathytauscher6760 He was doing it from the beginning the whole time she was talking about her past before they even met. That’s not “their story”. We’re all individuals. I think they both have a lot of wisdom to share and have found what works for them in their marriage. I am only giving constructive feedback, no hate. (:
Valeria is the reason I am who I am today, I was a stay at home mom and I saw this amazing woman doing it all with 2 kids and I thought I can do it too, I now run my own company, I am independent and I love my life
This means so much, on behalf of Valeria, thank you. Makes me proud of you, and her.
It’s disappointing to hear Valeria say she doesn’t support free healthcare for everyone not the nice person I thought she was. They talked about gary noticing Valeria was unhappy during lockdown so he got on the phone payed for private plane, shipping company to pick up their vehicles, paid for rental home in Miami this is only something wealthy people can do just privately fly and stay super expensive places move wherever they want Miami and Costa Rica just cause their unhappy when most people are struggling just to afford to take care of their families in & out of lockdown. You would think young Valeria growing up with a single mum working several jobs would appreciate how important free healthcare is for hardworking average people who pay their taxes their whole lives if they or one of their babies needs a life saving operation but can’t afford it and die is devastating. Shows the rich are out of touch with the reality they should put themselves in normal peoples shoes. UK has our NHS it’s not perfect but it’s fantastic and life saving I wouldn’t be here without it as I’m a disabled single mum. The government gets enough in taxes it should offer free healthcare to everyone instead of wasting it in other areas but of course the wealthy don’t support it.
This also really disappointed me when I heard it.
I have to agree... I feel like it doesn't really talks to her background. But I would love to hear her exploring more the argument cause it might be more to that
russians and eastern europeans in general are just very right wing its just how they are.
@@bertarovira herb background
People who are working can afford health Insurens , who don’t want to work demand everything for free and it’s a life style
Gary your awesome!! but you toot your horn too much and interrupt!!! 😢 😢 Valeria your work speaks for itself and shines no wonder you have people working for you and you don’t need to speak about it. You go girl!!! 🎉
Gary gave her the ability to focus on her art, and she ran with it and grew to where she is today. luck and timing worked in her favour in life, some people just have it. wonderful story....
Thank you for your comment.
We create our luck by changing our attitude and approach and the Universe conspires to help you in divine timing if you welcome the help.
His wife being his first guest for the podcast 🥹❤ heart melted .
She really helped me out by doing this.
Please bring Victoria on! Her story deserves to be told as well!
Let me see what I can do!
I've been following Valeria probably since her first video and I've heard her talk about her childhood and her career several times, but every time it's as if she reaches out her hand from the laptop, holds something in it, something special and magical and puts it in my palm.
Also as someone who has lived in Calgary, Canada since I was 12 years old, I completely agree with Valeria about how I feel about living in Canada, or at least in Calgary, similarly to how she felt in Toronto from what she describes. I am grateful for the opportunities and things that Calgary has offered to my family and myself, but in terms of living culture, my husband and I can’t wait to move out of here. It literally feels like we are dying on the inside because all that life feels like here is paying bills and waiting for the weekends. Both him and I being born across the ocean, I, from Kazakhstan and him from Iran, we miss the warmth and richness of culture that we once new, where life was about going on picnics and going to theatres and visiting friends and actually enjoying life instead of enduring daily stuff. It feels like here everyone just wants to sit quietly at home and occasionally when convenient to hang out or go on vacation because they are tired of the isolating routine and work. We’ve become this way too. I feel more antisocial and depressed as a result. I think while compatibility with the personality and needs is one thing, but it is a colder, more isolated and less culturally fulfilling place to live than other geographical locations I’ve been to. You can really feel worn out by it. And I see the same thing happening with our friends and family.
Same feelings! Especially during winter, it gets so miserable…
Вау, Жибек :) я тоже с Казахстана и мой парень, с которым мы вместе 4 года, с Ирана. Никогда раньше не сталкивалась с такой же парой, очень обрадовалась увидеть такую комбинацию культур вот так рандомно в комментариях)

@@zhibeksalimbayeva136 ой не знаю, странно прозвучит, но я бы хотела поддерживать контакт с вами :) уверена, ваш малыш очень хорошим человеком)
I like how deep the conversation is - compared to majority of other 20-min-quick-podcasts. LOVE IT!
Thank you!
I cried listening to Valeria recount her journey. She's right, so many of us daughters/sons of mothers who were from this time, have the same stories. We're blessed to have the mothers that we do! Thank you for sharing this side of Valeria with us, Gary!
Thank you
True
Great interview. I love Valeria! With that being said, I found myself very uncomfortable with Gary's tone and attitude throughout the interview. I sense that he can't just let her "be right", even though she's telling the story of her life. it would have been much better if he listened to her answers instead of constantly trying to correct her or make it sound like what she was saying is incorrect
thanks for the constructive feedback
SO relatable! I wanted to see the whole Valeria story for years now! I'm 34, lived both in USSR and Israel, now immigrated to Spain for the same reasons.. It's incredibly supporting and inspiring to see a thriving woman like Valeria who I can relate to. Both the fact she has a business, and similar upbringing, and the whole vibe! I'm such a raving fan, for years now! And great beginnings for both of you, with this channel, and Valeria's podcast too, - can't wait to see how this grows! Oh, Gary, a separate thanks you to documenting the hardships and being real like that. It sometimes can be incredibly hard mentally to go through this,and it is indeed so valuable to feel like I'm Not Alone. Wishing you tons of success!! It's an instant subscribe, obviously!
Thank you for your thoughtful and kind feedback, much appreciate.
LITERALLY SO EXCITED! The time has come!
Thank you!
Love the concept of this podcast! A few comments mentioned it already, and i agree that Gary interupts and corrects Valeria way too much. I do understand that it is harder to not to do this because you know the story as well, but it is off putting. There is some room to grow there as an interviewer, but this is only the first episode and a believe that you absolutely have the potential to grow into an amazing interviewer!
thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
Hearing you talk about the third lockdown in Canada, as a fellow Canadian who lives just outside of Toronto, brought me to tears. I still don't feel in a place where I am ready to relive or think about it all. I prayed that the doors would open up for us to move outside of this country but they never did and we are still here, making the most of it. I'm sure I would feel renewed somewhere else but I just don't know anything differently right now. I commend your mother for leaving and figuring things out when they didn't seem right, regardless of finances, because I have blamed our complacency on our financial situation.
I think a really undervalued and underestimated quality in a man is a sense of safety. Not just that he’s a safe person but that you are safe from the rest of the world or life with him. So many people equate safe with boring but it’s not to be confused with conservative or cautious this kind of safety is quite different. It’s really a high-value quality that cannot be faked. It seems like Gary has that and that’s what Valeria experienced very early on, maybe for the first time ever. Yours is a beautiful love/ life story. Blessings and happiness to you both ❤
Loving Valeria’s authenticity and modesty. They balance each other well 🤣
😊
“Romanticized idea of free healthcare” to me is: my mum not having to pay the 1500€ meds she used to take every week for her arthritis. The father of a friend of mine not having to pay the 10000€ chemo he’s doing for cancer. Me not having to pay if I have an accident and call an ambulance or to get surgery for my deviated septum. Yes, sure, it’s very romantic to know that all the money we put into taxes are given back to us in free healthcare, free schools, public transportation that is extremely cheap… I think I’ve heard enough, thanks.
Most of the above mentioned is covered by health insurance in the United States.
@@Gary.Lipovetskydo you guys have any idea how expensive is health insurance and how much of a scam it is (read about deductible, co-pay and claims rejection)? It is 500$ on average a month for person! I know it’s difficult to relate with poor or middle class when you are rich, but at least try. Poor people covered with Medicaid, sure. But you have to be REALLY poor to get this insurance. Like making 2000$ a month. What about people who makes 3000$ a month? They are not qualified for Medicaid, but they still should pay 500 dollars from this amount monthly, and then they also have to pay deductible and co-pay additionally.
@@Gary.Lipovetskyit is but you have to pay a deductible of 2500 before you’re even covered for health care and I work at a major bank the healthcare system sucks we pay $100 monthly just to have health insurance that’s 1200 a year and any visit you do up until you’ve paid 2500 out of pocket is not covered. Do research
What an incredible life story of Valeria (and her mother) - wow. Gary, you are a good host with your soulmate 🙂
Well that was awesome! I have to admit I balked at sitting through 1:44. I thought maybe I’ll just listen on Spotify while I’m out for a walk. However, I decided I would sample it first. The story of Valeria’s emigration hooked me. That’s how I discovered her RUclips channel. I’ve had a life long fascination with Russia and the USSR. I searched Russia videos and found the one where Valeria visited her biological father. I ended up watching this entire video in one sitting. You both did a fine job in the Q&A. I loved hearing Valeria’s history and the behind the scenes info about the business. Bravo!
Wow! Thank you, we really appreciate the support and encouragement.
I love this idea of telling a true chronological account to success ! People often only tell major milestones or Subjectively find the most important
Gary. I will listen to ALL your podcasts. You are super wise
You're very kind, thank you
Valeria 🌹 so humble, so thoughtful, such a great personality omg ❤ Gary, watch and learn !
This is A GOOD THING! Keep on inspiring for those listening to live up to their potential! You both deserve a "bravo!"👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much!
I have been a follower of Valeria for years because I appreciate her content on well-being in all aspects; physical, mental, emotional, dress, makeup, relationships, learning, challenges and a great etcetera
Thank you for your support all this time.
And YOU ARE NOT ALONE Valeria. I feel you and I see you and I heard you when you said that you don't want your life to revolve around money all the time. Holding space for you and your light 🌟
thank you!
I love your partnership and how you lift each other up ❤ great example! Really enjoyed watching it!
This was so wonderful to hear and watch. As a young stay at home mother with 2nd baby on the way, to hear the in depth journey of Valeria and hearing the partnership dynamic between the two of you, it is both inspiring and motivating. I am still figuring out myself professionally and as a person, and it helps me feel like the best is yet to come as opposed to feeling lost and guilty for not being “successful” in life professionally yet. Luckily my husband has been fully supportive of me being a stay at home mom and focusing on our family life for the past few years that I feel like I finally have the safe space to properly explore my options without the added stress and anxiety. Thank you for sharing this real life story to Valeria and you.
Thank you for sharing and being part of the conversation
Thank you for the insights! I feel like you don't take into account the sit-down-videos Valeria did from the very start on youtube talking about her learnings and goals - that's why there was an interest for Valeria as a person from the very beginning! :)
Прекрасное интервью. На одном дыхании. Будем ждать, чтобы у вас взяла интервью Лера, такое же долгое и подробное. Интересно узнаться вашем становлении😊
The story of the white pants was the first Valeria video I ever watched!! 😭 I can't believe that was almost 6 years ago. What a ride it's been! These origin story videos are by far my favourite.
😊🙏🏻
You guys are really power couple. People can say shit about you, or your age difference is those who concentrate on the wrong thing. I see genuine love and connection. The way you support each other is so sweet. I never saw healthy relationships around me, but you showed me that it is possible. I see a lot of similarities between me and Valeria and make me believe that I can have a great life as well.
1:15 So wonderful that you recognized saying to your wife :"You've safe the day"
She did
I was really drawn to Valeria, I like the way she is talking, like draining to money, etc. it is really a privilege to me to watch her.
this is an amazing, raw, funny and full of wisdom interview! I was reading some of the un-supportive comments, and I want to voice the other opinion- I think Gary did a really good job driving us through Valeria's story, and I personally think that her glow and her liveliness is connected to the support she is getting from him. It's every girl/ woman's dream to have someone find real interest in what they do and not only that- help them achieve sucess in a smart way (when Gary told her for eample to not spend time on editing). Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I really appreciate your kinds words and encouraging feedback.
Gary is SO annoying in this episode lol
He keeps trying to correct her and her recollections, and making it seem like it’s so important that she grew up poor. A lot of people grow up poor, calm down Gary 😂
Let her talk, and share her story how she wants. NOT how you remember it or how you see it.
thanks for the constructive feedback
It would be amazing to hear Gary’s story in the same concept and timeline
Yes, great suggestion
I’d love that! @gary?
Hmmmm, interesting idea, but who would interview me?
@@Gary.Lipovetsky Valeria 😅
@@Gary.Lipovetsky one of your employees for example... you are working with so many people, just pick one who is capable the most.... It would be interesting as well to hear your story from your perspective - maybe it would be make you a human, cause you seem to perceive everything trough money, as someone who see the world and everything just trough business perspective (even own life, wife and children - how to monetize them is the only thing you are interested in....sorry, but that's the impression)
She’s tough as nails and sweet as pie at the same damn time. What a woman! Gorgeous human! 😊❤
I love them both!! Can't wait to see what Gary gets up to in this space. Big things ya'll
Thanks, I'll do my best, lets see where it goes!
This was super insightful I would love to learn more about gary’s career !
Really nice start here! Congrats! Cant wait for the rest of the podcast series. (Also Gary we would love to hear your story too.) This was amazing interview. Keep it up! And I have been following Valeria since forever and I am so proud to see the development and knowledge. I love the value you are sharing.
Thank you, maybe one day I'll tell my story.
LOVED this and I didn’t really see it as interrupting; it’s really clear how much you want to highlight everything about Valeria in a way that if she feels like it’s nothing you really want to propel her and praise her for her story! Loved this both such interesting people!
YEEES exactly! He was just excited 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
They were wise to choose one another. Beautiful couple they balance each other.
I loved this so much - Valeria, you’re a gem and your authenticity is what shines through and what keeps people like me interested in your story. Gary, you’re great too. Thank you for this thoroughly informative podcast. ❤️
Thank you so much!!
1:09:54 I think it's interesting that she's talking about having good communication skills, yet her husband didn't even know anything about her RUclips account until she started making money with it
I had the same thought. I love them absolutely as a couple and their personalities but I feel that this is some kind of created scenarium for making it more “interesting” story. I dont think that if you feel excited about something what you are doing you dont share it with your partner it sounds strange.
Let's go 👏👏👏. Congratulations 👍
Thank you! 😃
I am a business graduate myself and to me it is just so interesting how Gary studied geology, something so different, but has such a passion and expertise in the business world. How he can spots business opportunities so well, also with Valerias´ RUclips which they grew to such an empire. Wishing you lots of success with your RUclips channel and I am looking forward to seeing more of your videos :)
Thank you so much!
This was very interesting to see how Valeria got to where she is. It explains her maturity. I like the back and forth conversation you and Valeria have.
Thanks for your feedback
Congratulations Gary! I love how you genuinely love deep diving and makes a sincere effort to engage with your ig/youtube followers and listeners through dms/comments.
I know you tried asking Valeria prompting questions as you want us to learn more amazing details about her life that we may not know.
I appreciate that!
Gary knows Valeria very well, and he knows the time in which she was born and understands what her mother went through! This is the best thing when a son-in-law knows, understands and respects his mother-in-law! I adore Vika, she is very similar to my late (already) mother, even in appearance and she grew up in the same region - Makhachkala, Dagestan, and yes, there were moments of anti-Semetism, especially in the days of my mother’s youth. This is unfortunately a fact!
Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it.
Finally ❤ We love you Gary!
Love you back, thank you!
I love you Valeria, you re such an inspiring woman, i just loved this podcast💖 keep the good work, Gary!
Thank you so much!
You guys are big but i have a feeling you will get BIGGER and BIGGER every year. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the encouragment!
Amazing GARY!!! 🔥‼️😍❤️🙌 WELCOME!
Thank you!
I love this episode so much! I love you both so much! Val and Gary are a couple inspiration for me and human inspiration as well!!! 💓🔝
Valeria so sweet & genuine, I like the deep conversation & positive energy here ❤
Thank you so much!!
I loved this intimate and candid podcast! They are both so genuine and sincere and wise. Yes - Gary likes to direct and talk, but their love and compatibility is heartwarming❤
Thanks so much, means a lot
Good first interview. Definitely let the speaker tell their story. you ask the questions, you listen, you take it in. then go to the next thing. It might be because you think you know your wife story. but we (the listeners) don't. I agree with most though! u have something here! congratulations on your podcast!
Gary, you are such a wise man to love and marry an incredible woman and not to interfere with her becoming herself in full force, but really seeing her and helping with it 👏👏👏
😊🙏🏻
Great job Gary! Looking forward to see more episodes!
Thanks so much!
Just amazing, loved and listened each minute with so much atention. Amazing story Valeria, supportive husband Gary.
Thanks for the kind words
Very inspiring talk, thank you Gary and Valeria❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Also val your yorkdale mall modeling layout for the store dynmiate is so amazing!
Neon suit = powerful!
I too am from Toronto and agree its busy downtown .
Flordia sounds so fun to move to.
God bless your whole family guys!
Thank you!
I totally agree about the Oprah of your gen. I connected with Valeria the most when she posted the live interviews on Instagram during the pandemic. I loved that content so I'm glad shes back taking deep dive into these relatable topics.
That's great, thank you
I don't have the best time of my life because I don't figure out what I want to do with my life. I watched old videos with Valeria and podcasts, and today, I watched this podcast. You speak what I needed to hear to just continue my journey to find myself and a beautiful career, and obviously, to make more money. Thank you, guys ❤️🙏🏻🤍
Thanks for leaving this comment, I really appreciate it
I have been with Gary and V since the Blueberry Muffins! So much love
This is amazing Gary! And I love you choose Valeria for the first video 🎉
He needs to let her speak and not correct her memories, feelings or perceptions of past and current situation.
thanks for the constructive feedback
@@Gary.Lipovetsky Of course! And looking forward to more content from you!! You obviously are so proud of her and your love for each other is amazing and admirable 💕
I've remember watching Valeria for years - love hearing the backstory and the behind the scenes growth. Thanks for facilitating this long form conversation Gary - I think you both suit this type of content really well
It would be interesting to hear the same story from your perspective Gary - like who you were and what you were doing prior to meeting Valeria.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback
Maybe I’ll ask Valeria to interview me
Loved it!!! Congratulations Gary 🎉🎉🎉 Keep sharing such valuable and inspiring podcasts like this one.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Reallllly this was so good and great job pod hosting.
I appreciate so much the persons you and Valeria are. Love from Italy.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations to Gary on your first podcast. Having Valeria on your first podcast was so sweet and thoughtful. Valeria is so incredibly intelligent,thoughtful and loved by everyone. Love you so much Valeria! Love,Janice and Larry Watson Pittsburgh PA USA
Thank you so much!
This literally made me think what i want to do know in life. It os really step by step sometimes
I absolutely loved this episode! So inspiring!
Thank you, I appreciate it.
I was waiting for this first episode since a long time! ❤
Hope you liked it.
She is so funny and incredible. It’s so easy to understand her, her story and humor especially being an immigrant myself
😊 she’s the best
I love that you broke down the progression of your RUclips success. Can you teach us newbie RUclipsrs how to find a team? Who do we hire? Where do we find them? What qualities and experience should they possess? Where did you find your podcast producer? How much is the ball park figure they should be paid? Thanks!
Hi from Cherkessk! :)) Love your new podcast, Gary! and adore what you and Valeria are doing! Keep on going!
Thank you so much!
reminded me the value of life through everything Gary sir or Valeraia mam does.
thank you!
Love the podcast idea and to listen more to Valeria story, I have been following long time and I do really admire everything how she does and both of you as a couple. The only thing what I always feel little not honest in all the interviews that you both do is not mentioning having also support from nannies or this moment here when you both touched speech about having a driver and Valeria do admit that it is a “fancy” opportunity to have (my respect went more up with that because it is honest) but Gary puts this down as its nothing. Why? Better to motivate in a way that yes we do have these opportunities of having nannies, driver and other things because it is all about organizing your time effectively, that you do need to work also for having these luxuries to have. That you do not need to burn yourself so much down to be the “super person i can do it all” as an example of when you talked about hiring a videographer- this is the way that sets the correct picture of how things were. I know people do get angry “what if in a single mother with no money and cannot hire help” i understand it is different but doesnt mean that you have to try make them feel better that alright i make my story more relatable aswell. So many influencers already do that which is so disgusting and loses respect.
Also the fact where Valeria said that when her mother was in russia and their family were running the “marketplace” is also quite a big thing this is also where did came the business mindset probably for Valeria mother. Just these little details that are important for us as a viewers, just honesty 💕
You got a fan in Argentina!!! I love how you always highlight everything about Valeria: the good the bad and the ugly.
Also your voice is really soothing ❤
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Another one here 😍🇦🇷
I absolutely love and adore you guys. ❤
I could listen to Valeria talk forever
😊
I really enjoyed this interview, andl the background story of Valeria life. I really do think you both compliment each other well, with each having different strengths and weaknesses. I did notice Gary interrupting, but didnt see that as negative, but more nagivating the conversation and wanting to highlight important factors that Val was maybe not thinking to include. To show context to her life story. I think you two are sooo cute together and clearly have each others backs. Only negative is, I must say, is Valeria commentimg on free health care in Canada, that sucked, as so many people are thankful to have social healthcare. Im sure she never meant it the way it came over. I wish you both all the succesd and longevity. Very inspiring. ❤
Thank you for your feedback. It’s very much appreciated. Regarding social health care. It has its pros and cons. When you’re young and healthy and don’t have much need for health care, it’s great that you don’t have to pay on the few occasions when you need health care. However, when a person gets older and require regular and prompt attention, social health care isn’t optimal. For example, my father, during the last few weeks of his life, spent days on a gurney in an emergency room hallway. It’s not only problematic for the elderly. I had a good friend of mine, when she was in her 30’s, develop a growth in her brain. Under social health care, she would have had to wait months for care. Fortunately, she was able to pay for care in the United States and her life was saved.
Hello Garry. You CAPABLELIZE herrrrrr❤ Great couple and motivator 🤗🥂
Thanks!

Big congratulations Gary for the starting podcast 🎉 looong over due! I have been thinking that Gary should start the podcast. Dream came true. 🤗 My favorite couple that I like to admire. Good luck. ❤😍
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Valeria is so interesting and inspiring as a Jewish Russian it's hard. Her modeling career meeting Gary . Her business. Thumbs up
🙏🏻
There is an italian podcast that has exactly the same format and premise, it’s called ‘one more time’ with Luca Casadei if you’re interested or curious. It’s very good! One of my favourites and it’s also on youtube
Whow so great i feel you when you say you get easily you get bored
Hi Gary, congratulations!!! I love you, Valeria and the boys so much.
So sweet to have Valeria as your first guest.
I hoped I would hear something that I don't know. I heard almost everything a couple of times before from you.
I would be so curious to hear, if Valeria ever heard from her biological father again, also how she felt when her mom married and had Boris. Until then, there was just the two of them. How it was for her, being so little and having her mom work alot. How the nose job made her feel, being such a young mum, how this was for her , and so much more.
Of course if you two feel comfortable with this.
Anyways, still enjoyed it very much and keep going. All the best from Austria
Thanks for the comments and questions. It's best if Valeria tells this story, so please feel free to DM her directly on IG.

Such beautiful hands and delicate fingers Valeria has! Apart from being very articulated 😊
Lol, I'll let her know you say so
