The Raw Truth About Marriage, Motherhood...

PRETTYSMART
About this episode

What happens after you build the life you always wanted? In Part 2 of this intimate conversation, Valeria Lipovetsky returns to open up about the messy, beautiful middle—marriage, motherhood, sex, ambition, and what it really takes to grow with your partner over time.

She shares the honest truth behind her 12-year relationship, how becoming a mother in her early 20s shaped (and tested) her identity, and the quiet decisions that helped her rediscover herself—without blowing up her life.

Valeria reveals:

  • Why her marriage nearly broke under the weight of early parenting
  • The new season she’s entering with her husband—and what changed
  • Her personal “renaissance” and what it means to prioritize connection again
  • Why she believes motherhood is the ultimate mirror
  • The surprising (and hilarious) truth about sex after kids
  • What she’s learned about boundaries, ambition, and giving yourself the big piece of chicken
  • How she protects her peace while living a public life
  • Plus, Danielle opens up about freezing her eggs, feeling like time is running out, and how a list of 1,000 questions (and a stranger's offhand comment) changed her life.

This is part two of a two-part series. If you missed Part 1, go back and listen!
