    The Feminine Energy Advantage: Work Less, Earn More, and Live Radiantly with Katrina Valente

    What if working harder isn’t the path to greater wealth, fulfillment, or confidence?  In this episode of Women Behind the Millions, Jessica Weaver welcomes Katrina Valente, who has spent 30 years in the wellness and anti-aging industry helping women reconnect with their bodies, feminine energy, and sense of self. Katrina Valente reflects on her own years of being career-driven and constantly busy, sharing how that pace left little room for rest, creativity, pleasure, or even lunch. She explains why women need both ambition and balance, and points to her time working in the Maldives as proof that slowing down and moving with the flow helped her feel more relaxed and earn more. The conversation also explores the connection between burnout, intimacy, and relationships. Katrina encourages women to create space in their calendars, practice receiving, speak honestly with their partners about intimacy, and reconnect with what makes them feel nurtured.  She offers practical suggestions, including leaving 20 to 30 minutes between appointments, doing fewer tasks each day, and beginning the morning with five minutes of meditation. The episode closes with Katrina’s perspective on aging, radiance, and self-worth. Her million-dollar lesson is simple: listen to your inner gut instinct and believe you are worthy of whatever you want to create in the world.

    What do you do when your life is working, your family is thriving, and nothing is technically wrong, but you still feel a pull toward more?  In this episode of Women Behind the Millions, Jessica Weaver sits down with Brittany Hagy, an independent financial advisor who recognized that comfort could easily become complacency.

She describes the decision to leave what was good to reach for what was great, trusting that growth often happens in the uncomfortable places.  Faith sits at the center of Brittany Hagy's approach to success.
