From interning at NASA and SpaceX while still a teenager to graduating early from high school and starting her company instead of going to college, Valkyrie Holmes knows what it means to take bold leaps.

Now the CEO and co-founder of Faura, an insurtech startup that helps insurance companies and homeowners reduce their natural disaster risk, Valkyrie brings a rare mix of ambition, clarity, and heart to her work.

Her openness turns this episode into a “big sister advice” conversation where we touch on topics like:

• 👩‍🏫The role mentors play in shaping your path, especially the powerful influence of female role models
• 🌸The importance of recognizing how hormones influence women’s bodies and learning to embrace them rather than work against them
• 🚀What it means to build your own impact-driven startup in a legacy‑driven industry

This episode is a must-listen for anyone just graduating high school or in their first years of university - and starting to think more deeply about their career.
