Let’s be real, being a mom, wife, and business owner at the same time isn’t for the faint of heart. Add in being the CEO of your household, the queen of your brand, the ride-or-die for your clients, and the glam in your game, and you’ve got the real-life hustle of a woman who’s marketing like a mother.
Hi, I’m Valarie L. Harris, aka Coach Valygrl, and I’m living proof that you can wear all the hats without losing your mind... or your lashes.
I built my business, Varris Marketing, not just to help entrepreneurs grow their brands, but to help them reclaim their time. Because let me tell you, for years I was grinding in every direction, wife life, mama life, business life, and somewhere along the way, I forgot about my life. I was the woman doing all the things for all the people, with barely a breath in between. Sound familiar?
But one day, I realized I didn’t have to choose. I didn’t have to be either a powerhouse businesswoman or a devoted mama. I could be both. I could be all. And not just survive, I could thrive.
That shift didn’t happen by accident. It came from learning to embrace systems, outsourcing, automation, and the secret sauce that changed everything for me: A.I.
Now I help other women, especially entrepreneurs 40+, tap into their own rhythm. Whether it’s building a brand, growing an audience, or showing up online without being glued to their phone 24/7, I’m here to say: You can run a business and live a full life. You don’t have to sacrifice family for your goals. You don’t have to hustle until burnout becomes your default setting.
You can lead with strategy, work with purpose, and market with heart.
And you can do it in a way that feels good.
I work with powerhouse women who are ready to say no to chaos and yes to clarity. Women who want to be present for family dinners but still get that email funnel launched. Women who love a good glam moment but also know how to get gritty when it’s go-time.
You can be soft and strong. You can wear sneakers or stilettos (or both in the same day, ask me how I know). ??-️
Your story, your strength, your spark, that's your brand. And marketing like a mother means you get to bring all of you into the business. You’re not too much. You’re the magic.
In my world, we do marketing with meaning. We build brands that feel aligned, not forced. We use tools that give us back our time and our sanity. We create legacies that our kids will be proud of. And we do it all while sipping coffee, setting boundaries, and glowing like the queens we are.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about building a business. It’s about creating a life that feels like yours.
And sis, that’s the kind of marketing I’m here for.
So here’s your permission slip to show up fully, embrace your brilliance, and build your empire in a way that honors your joy.
You’re not “just” a mom. You’re not “just” a business owner.
You are the brand. You are the legacy.
You are marketing like a mother.
