The Women On Top
HELLO, Gorgeous.
Welcome to The Women On Top — the mentorship podcast you’ve always wanted, designed by women, for women.
Here, we’re not about competition; we’re about collaboration. This is where female leaders, rising disruptors, and bold changemakers pull back the curtain and share the lessons, the failures, and the breakthroughs that shaped them.
Think unfiltered wisdom, candid conversations, and the kind of advice you’d only get if you were sitting across from them over coffee—or champagne.
From boardrooms to startups, side hustles to personal reinventions, we’re learning directly from women who are rewriting what leadership looks like. They’re not gatekeeping; they’re handing you the playbook.
So, if you’ve ever wished for a mentor in your ear—someone who gets it, who’s been there, and who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is—this is your podcast.
Grab your espresso, adjust your heels, and let’s strut to the top—because we don’t just break glass ceilings, we own the skyline.
>Disclaimer: No actual glass ceilings were harmed in the making of this podcast… yet!

Victoria Pelletier: Becoming a COO at 24, Turning Trauma Into Power, and the #NoExcuses Philosophy that You Need Now
In this episode of The Women On Top, Valerie Lynn sits down with Victoria Pelletier—a force of nature who became a COO before most people feel confident in their first leadership role. Today, she’s a sought-after keynote speaker, corporate executive, and author known for her unapologetic no excuses philosophy.
What unfolds is a raw and powerful conversation about what it really takes to rise inside the corporate world—and why resilience, ownership, and courage matter more than any job title.
Valerie and Victoria dive deep into:
🔥 How Victoria went from a challenging early life to becoming a corporate executive before 30
🔥 The “no excuses” mindset that changed everything—and how to build it yourself
🔥 The truth about resilience and why the best leaders are forged, not found
🔥 How to advance your career strategically (without waiting for permission)
🔥 The surprising reason Victoria loves corporate life—and what it gives her that entrepreneurship didn’t
🔥 Her evolution into keynote speaking and the power of using your voice
🔥 Why mentorship, influence, and sponsorship are game-changers for women
🔥 What it looks like to pursue leadership and motherhood without apology
🔥 How to redefine success—and use fear as a compass for your next level
This episode is equal parts tactical and deeply human. If you’re navigating your career, stepping into leadership, or craving a life built on courage instead of comfort… this conversation will light a fire in you.
