What happens when you build a wildly successful company, raise millions, and create a nationally recognized community—only to realize you’ve lost yourself in the hustle?
In this episode of The Women On Top, Valerie Lynn sits down with Katya Libin—former co-founder of HeyMama and now the founder of Jadeva—for an honest, soul-stirring conversation about leadership, burnout, and feminine power.
Katya takes us behind the scenes of her journey: from the relentless pace of startup life and single motherhood to discovering the divine feminine energy that transformed how she leads, lives, and builds community. Together, we explore how women can step out of hustle culture and into a new paradigm of leadership rooted in authenticity, ease, and purpose.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or a woman craving deeper connection and alignment, Katya’s story will inspire you to redefine success on your own terms and lead from your essence.
