About Me
A Life Rebuilt Through Strength, Vision, and Relentless Purpose
I was born into a world that taught me to stay small, to choose safety over curiosity, and to follow familiar roads instead of creating my own. For many years I lived inside that box. I played the role I was told to play. I followed the rules that were handed to me. But there was always a quiet voice inside me that whispered for more.
I did not know it then, but the path that would shape me into a coach, a guide, and a high-performance advisor began long before I understood the meaning of resilience. It began in the moments I did not think I would survive. It began in the chapters I never wanted. It began every time life asked me a hard question and the only answer I had was to rise.
My life has been built on pressure, loss, reinvention, heartbreak, reinvention again, and a relentless refusal to settle. I left the world I knew. I rebuilt myself in a new country. I escaped abusive dynamics. I stood tall while raising a family through crisis. I built a career in a highly competitive real estate market where only the consistent survive. And in every season, the question returned. Who are you now.
The truth is that I have lived through enough to understand how people break. Which is why I also understand how they rebuild. Today, my work is dedicated to those who carry the weight, those who have been strong for too long, those who give but rarely feel seen, and those who wake up one day and whisper, I do not know who I am anymore.
I guide them through the same transformations that shaped me. Whether in real estate, life coaching, or personal training, my mission is to empower you to rewrite your own story. You are not meant to remain in the chapter that broke you; you are meant to become the person who rewrites the ending.
I’m Valentina, a Las Vegas-based real estate agent, personal trainer, and self-worth coach committed to helping people live better through real estate and personal well-being. I built my business the real way: with grit, late nights, heart-led strategy, and an unshakable belief in doing life and business with purpose. Over the years, I’ve expanded my brand across four core pillars, all rooted in one mission: helping others achieve their goals with clarity, confidence, and support.
pre-set belives
the World I Was Born Into
I was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, during the communist regime, into a system that defined every part of a woman’s life before she even had a chance to speak. Communist ideology shaped my early years. Closed borders, closed thinking, and a patriarchal script handed down as if it were law. A woman was expected to serve, not create. To support, not lead. To sacrifice her identity, but never claim her purpose.
These were the pre-set beliefs written into my life long before I could question them. Yet even as a young girl, I felt the internal friction. Something in me refused to accept the limits placed on me.
This belief system formed the ground I had to push against. The resistance that forged my early strength. The fire that shaped the woman who would later walk away from abusive marriages, reject roles that diminished her, and fight to build a different kind of life.
It was the world that tried to design me, but it never managed to define me.
The drive to create my future
Turning points
I learned early what it meant to be underestimated. I was told I did not have the physique to be a gymnast, and I became a national athlete competing on European and world stages.
I was told I was not talented enough to be an actress, and I earned one of two spots out of 300 girls in a prestigious experimental theater, where I performed full-time in my twenties.
I was told a woman could not stand on a director’s set, and I graduated from the National Academy for Theater and Motion Picture Arts in my country with a master’s degree in theatrical and motion picture directing.
Every limitation became a target. Every doubt became fuel.
My life turned into a series of personal rebellions that shaped my identity as a leader, creator, and strategist. I built a career directing musicals, variety shows, and documentary projects for different venues, including national television. I developed the discipline to shape visions and the emotional intelligence to shape people.
This was the chapter where I learned the truth: the future belongs to those who refuse to accept the story written for them.
The Immigrant life
Starting Over in a New Country
I arrived in the United States with no money, no English, and no roadmap. Everything I had built in my home country was suddenly behind me. My education, my accomplishments, my professional identity meant nothing in a system that screened me out before I could even speak.
Starting over was not romantic. It was survival.
I fought through language barriers, financial stress, culture shock, and the reality that reinvention is not a straight line. The only path forward was to create opportunity where none existed.
I entered one of the most competitive industries in the country, real estate, carrying a heavy accent and zero advantage. Through grit, consistency, and unconventional problem-solving, I rose to the top.
I built a name that people trust. A professional reputation others point to as an example. A standard people expect from someone who refuses excuses and shows what is possible with resilience.
This chapter taught me that strength is not what you carry with you. Strength is what you build when you have nothing left to stand on.
I am
Realtor. Coach. Partner. Mom. Mentor. Self-worth Leader.
My life has been a series of battles, redirections, rebirths, and moments where I had to decide whether I would break or rise. These experiences became the foundation of my coaching programs and my company, Healthy Lifestyle LLC.
I have a soft spot for people who feel lost, unseen, or overwhelmed because I know that place intimately.
I guide individuals through emotional training, mindset mastery, and behavior change because these are the tools that rebuilt my own life when everything was falling apart.
I help clients reach clarity and make decisions because I spent years making the toughest ones alone.
I lived through abusive marriages and walked away to protect my dignity.
I raised a daughter through the heartbreak of incarceration and carried the emotional weight of her survival.
I built a real estate career in a foreign country and reached elite performance levels through sheer drive.
My purpose today is simple:
To turn my scars into a blueprint for others.
To help people identify the moment when “Enough” becomes the beginning of their transformation.
To teach emotional strength, personal accountability, and the ability to rebuild identity at any stage of life.
This chapter is not about survival. It is about service.
It is about using my journey to lift others into the future they deserve.
Self development is at the core of everything I do. I have invested countless hours in education, professional mastery, and leadership growth, driven by a deep commitment to continual improvement. I believe growth is a lifelong practice, and I remain dedicated to refining my skills, expanding my knowledge, and evolving so I can guide others with integrity, clarity, and excellence.

Popular Question
First, understand that the field of psychology is incredibly broad and diverse. There are many areas of specialization; a forensic psychologist, for instance, performs very different tasks than, say, a clinical psychologist. In general, psychologists seek to understand the human mind and its manifestations in terms of behavior, emotions, relationships, etc.
