We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Valerie (Vallyann) Cancellieri a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Valerie (Vallyann), we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
Helping women discover their worth is my purpose in life. My purpose of teaching women how to truly find their self-worth was discovered through my own feeling and healing of worthlessness. Our worth is the one feeling that will decide the quality of our life. If we can truly believe we are enough, regardless of the outside validation and circumstances, it will change the quality of our life. With over a decade (and counting) of mentoring women the common denominator I found revolved around their lack of self-worth. Some did not even know they did not feel worthy, until they took time to pause. Their version of aligned success and happiness depended on their worth. My purpose is to invite women to give themselves permission to know their worth matters. From being a successful network marketer, and feeling worthless regardless of my accolades, and achievements. I made the decision to change my inner worthy story. I realized then, through my own personal practice and methods, if I could do this, anyone could.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Over my time of personally re-discovering, and re-writing my worthy story, I realized I wanted to share it with the world. I knew there were people out there that needed to hear how I overcame daily, and lifetime struggles with my worth. I wanted to share how I continue to show up for myself daily with grace. I call this the worthy lifestyle. It began with my podcast,”The Worthiness Project Podcast,” (soon to be launching season 4). I take my audience through all elements, methods, and stories regarding our self-worth. The listener leaves with a dose of worth they did not know they needed for the day! I am now the Founder of Vallyannco. LLC, a platform solely focused on creating worthy blueprints for each one of my clients through my one-on-one coaching, and group programs. Each client begins their journey with that I call an “emotional inventory,” allowing them to ask themselves questions they never thought to ask. I discovered through my own success, and clients’ testimonials, the answer to feeling PLENTY did not remain in the fixes; it depended on awareness and questions. When we can learn to accept the answers to the right questions, how we view and feel about our worth changes. I currently have launched my on-going program,”90 Days of Joy.” During this program the client becomes aware of their own worthy story, while receiving support, coaching, resources and community to actively shift and transform into the best version of them; defined by them. It guides them into a PLENTY lifestyle. This program is the heart and soul of Vallyannco. Once they are completed with the program, they continue with personal mentorship for the remainder of the year to achieve the plenty lifestyle for years to come! Coming in 2024, there will be in-person JOY retreats connecting women back to their worth, with permission and joy!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
This is such an amazing question! I have truly learned to look back on life and situations now with love, grace, and gratitude. My awareness and my perspective have been huge gifts. I believe we always have a choice, things will either happen TO us, or they will happen FOR us. When we choose to thank them for happening, and then choose a different story going forward, that is when the magic happens. I do believe my gift of empathy has been a major quality that has allowed me to be the woman I am today. For so long I was always struggling with high emotions, along with being a highly sensitive person. Finally, when I realized I wanted to just love myself, and stop the negative inner dialogue; I then chose to learn how to embrace my gift in the best way possible. It was not an overnight process, and something I proudly am shifting daily. From learning about the beauty of empathy and rewriting my inner dialogue it has been a gift that I have been able to teach to everyone I work with. While my time as a top leader in one of the top network marketing companies I was able to learn how to love and accept people for who they were (customers or team members!) Learning how to truly SEE people, and understand them takes time, but is a true gift. It allowed me to never take things personally, and rather make it about THEM, not me. A quality that truly transfers to living day to day in this human experience. My advice for anyone on this worthy journey is to be kind to yourself. This is not about CHANGING who you are, because there is nothing WRONG with you. It is about shifting into the best you on a daily basis, the best you can in that moment. Do not go for the quick fix, and fake it till you make it methods; take time to dig and, accept, re-write and claim your oath on your terms!
Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
I believe as a Worthy mindset mentor and coach I would be lying if I told my clients, and community that I didn’t actively work on my own worth daily. I think that is what makes me different than many coaches out there. I am vulnerable and open with what I feel on a day-to-day basis. I am consistently relatable. Our worth will be a lifelong journey that we will be on. In all seasons of our life, we will have triggers, and old stories that will be there front and center to face us. No one truly teaches us HOW to accept and with them, until now. I love to empower my clients and community with methods and tools for inner validation. As I grow in my company as a coach, I am challenged with my worth daily. I am choosing my awareness each day, and successfully going through the methods I actively teach. Why? Because they are sustainable and realistic to anyone living a full life. I am proud to say that I am practicing what I teach, and actively living the beauty of feeling plenty and growing at the same time!
