Valeria Lipovetsky, one of the OG internet creators, is here to help you get Hot Smart Rich. Today, Valeria is the founder of The Creator Method, a community-based business that teaches creators everything they need to know about building a successful career.
But before she was teaching it, she was living it. Trying. Failing. Learning. And trying again.
And this is your personal masterclass on how to become a successful creator in 2026.
Here’s everything we cover in the interview:
• Why you’ll never achieve peak success in your 20s
• The $10K brand deal that changed her life
• Why she signed a prenup with her partner at just 21 years old
• And how to reframe social media as a form of therapy
A creator’s journey can be a rocky one, but after this chat with Valeria, we walked away with a much clearer, and more grounded, vision of what it really takes to succeed as a creator today.
♡ 01. glow therapy ♡
I love leaning into simple tools that help me feel energized, supported, and radiant from the inside out.
♡ 02. heat reset ♡
Nothing clears my mind and relaxes my body faster. It’s one of my favorite rituals for recovery and calm.
♡ 03. sense of self ♡
Developing a solid identity through hobbies, the content I consume, and how I express myself has been one of the most powerful upgrades in my life.
♡ 04. personal style freedom ♡
I wear whatever I want, even if it isn’t trendy. Confidence comes from choosing what feels like you, not what’s popular.
♡ 05. nourishment first ♡
I love having something comforting and nutrient-rich that makes me feel grounded and strong.
♡ 06. cozy movement ♡
Feeling cute while staying comfortable makes me more consistent. These sets are my go-to for everyday wellness.
♡ 07. soft skin ritual ♡
This is my favorite kind of body care. Whipped, nourishing, and the definition of everyday luxury.
♡ 08. home comfort ♡
There’s nothing like wrapping yourself in something cloud-soft. It instantly makes slow mornings and evenings feel elevated.
♡ 09. longevity support ♡
I’m always interested in wellness tools that support energy, vitality, and feeling my best long-term.
♡ 10. inner work ♡
Therapy has been one of the most important investments I’ve ever made. It keeps me grounded, clear, and connected to myself.
♡ Hot, Smart, Rich Tips ♡
♡ Hot Hack ♡
Remove the things from your life that don’t light you up, whatever that means for you. Prioritize your joy, it’s the best accessory.
♡ Smart Hack ♡
Lean into your discomfort. Nothing builds your confidence and knowledge more than going into an unfamiliar situation and coming out stronger
♡ Rich Tip ♡
Stop buying and start styling your clothes! Shop responsibly and with intention. This is something I’ve been posting about a lot on my Instagram and have been trying to be more mindful of.
♡ Favorite Part of the Conversation ♡
Maggie asked why "quietly" reaching 150M+ monthly is an important differentiator for me, and it really got me thinking as I reset for 2026. I don’t want a bigger year - I want a quieter one. So many of my best moments have happened quietly. And I am a firm believer that goals grow better in private. So, I'm looking forward to a quiet 2026.
♡ Something People Don’t Know About You ♡
I am terrified of pigeons.
