From farm roots to the C-suite, Valerie Paris, COO of Durvet Corporation, has built her career on hard work, humility, and heart. 

In this episode, Valerie shares her incredible journey—from growing up on a Missouri farm to leading a national animal health cooperative. We talk about leadership, self-advocacy, and how empowering others can ripple far beyond the workplace. 

Valerie also opens up about her upcoming book, Be Her Biggest Fan, a collection of real and raw stories about parenting, perseverance, and raising strong, independent kids. One powerful moment in the book completely changed how she saw herself as both a mother and a leader. 

Topics that take flight: 
• Raising kids who can hear “no” and still soar 
• Leadership through kindness and empowerment 
• The art of self-promotion without ego 
• How grace and gratitude can transform workplace culture 

It’s her first-ever podcast appearance—and it’s a flocking great one!
