Valerie Delgado shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Valerie, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
The first 90 minutes of my day are sacred — they set the tone for everything else. I start by plugging into God. Whether it’s through prayer, a devotional, or just quiet stillness, I make space to align my spirit before the world gets loud. After that, I ease into my morning with a good hot cup of coffee Then, I go through my face regimen, which is less about vanity and more about care a moment to tend to myself and feel refreshed. Those first moments are about clarity, connection, and care spirit, body, and soul all getting the attention they deserve.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Valerie , and I’m the proud owner of a professional cleaning business that’s rooted in excellence, integrity, and care. What started as a simple passion for creating clean, peaceful spaces has grown into a thriving business that serves homes and businesses with a personal touch.
What makes our brand unique is the heart behind it — we don’t just clean spaces, we restore peace of mind. I believe a clean environment can change how you feel, how you work, and how you show up in the world.
Right now, I’m focused on growing the business, building a strong team, and expanding our services while staying true to the values that started it all. It’s more than cleaning — it’s about creating an atmosphere where people can breathe, reset, and thrive
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
What breaks bonds between people is often a mix of unspoken expectations, lack of communication, pride, and unresolved hurt. It’s rarely one big thing—it’s the small moments of disconnection, when we stop listening, stop extending grace, or let ego speak louder than love. Over time, silence, assumptions, and unmet needs can quietly erode even the strongest relationships.
But what restores those bonds is humility, honesty, and presence. It’s choosing to show up even when it’s uncomfortable, having the hard conversations, and being willing to see each other with fresh eyes. Forgiveness—both giving and receiving—is a powerful healer. So is time, paired with consistent care and truth.
At the end of the day, restoration happens when people decide the relationship matters more than being right, and love becomes the loudest voice in the room.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering has taught me the value of resilience and the depth of my own humanity. While success celebrates accomplishments, suffering strips away the distractions and forces you to confront your inner strength—or lack thereof. It’s in those low moments, when nothing feels certain, that I’ve learned the most about patience, faith, and compassion.
Success never taught me how to truly empathize with others or how to find peace in the chaos. It’s suffering that helped me understand the importance of vulnerability, how to embrace imperfection, and the power of surrendering control. Success often pushes you to rise higher; suffering teaches you to stay grounded and appreciate the smallest moments of grace.
Suffering humbles you, reminding you that growth comes not just from achieving, but from enduring, learning, and growing stronger in ways you can’t anticipate when things are easy.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I admire my late uncle, David — or as we lovingly called him, Super D. His character made him a giant in our eyes. He was a hard worker who never cut corners, a man of his word who always followed through, and someone who loved with everything he had.
Super D showed up for his people—consistently, quietly, and wholeheartedly. You could always count on him, and he made you feel seen, valued, and cared for. He taught me that true strength isn’t loud or flashy—it’s steady, humble, and full of heart. That’s the kind of legacy I hope to carry forward.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I’m in the quiet moments, whether it’s early in the morning with a cup of coffee, or during a peaceful walk in nature. It’s in those moments when everything slows down, and I can just be. It’s a time when I can connect with GOD & my thoughts, reflect, and appreciate the stillness. I also find peace when I’m surrounded by loved ones, sharing simple moments of connection and laughter. That balance between quiet, and meaningful relationships is where I find my calm.
