Are you living to the fullest? I have had the honor and pleasure to speak with several millionaires (and beyond) and one thing that has always fascinated me is that many of them reflect back on their life and talk about how full their bank accounts are, but how much they missed out on life, …
Burnout is insidious. At least in the few (too many) burnout cycles I have been through. First it starts out as a bit of stress. And then the pressure mounts both externally and within. But I tend to convince myself that I can manage everything I have going on and just need to keep pushing …
Yay! You are ready to hire a Virtual Assistant, Online Business Manager, or Social Media Manager, but now what? Start interviewing and while you do so, look for these red flags. I have a lot I want to say about this. I have been on both sides. I have been the Virtual Assistant AND I …
Have you been experiencing burn out? Anne Helen Petersen said, “[Burnout] isn’t a personal problem. It’s a societal one—and it will not be cured by productivity apps, or a bullet journal, or face mask skin treatments, or overnight fucking oats.” An Indeed survey found that 52% of respondents are experiencing burn out. This isn’t surprising …
What are the limiting beliefs you may not even recognize that you have and how are they affecting your business? Late last year, my business started to take off in the best kind of way.

How does that statement make you feel? Do you feel like it creates a safe space to grow your business or does it strangle your creativity? Is this an area of life that you feel confident in? “I didn’t set this boundary to either offend you or please you, I did it to manage the …
Confession time: I have been paralyzed by imposter syndrome for months now. I have wanted to pivot my business into a creative agency and partner up with my sisters and best friend who each have special talents to bring to the table that I know will serve entrepreneurs well. But I have been swirling around …
I think about this topic often. Is it possible to build an authentic business? One that feels good every step, or at least most, of the way. When I first started my business, I hired a couple of business coaches. And they were both amazing. But I didn’t get any results. Which I take full …

I am writing this having been self-isolating for 5 days so far. I must admit that I am fascinated at what is happening around the world. I recognize the severity of it all. But I also see beautiful things happening too. People are coming together in ways they may not have if we weren’t forced …
I released my first book, The Journey Home: A Guided Journal to Discovering and Being Your True Self in November 2018. I had been talking about it all year. Telling everyone I was working on my first book. In case you didn’t know, I had already co-authored a book that was released in March of …

The other day, my friend (also an entrepreneur) asked me how does one go about hiring their first Virtual Assistant when they already feel overwhelmed with everything? This is such a common question. And to me, the answer is quite simple. Know what your own strengths and weaknesses are and what is draining your time …
Because I work with heart-centered entrepreneurs, I feel this is an important subject to address. When it comes to building my business, I tend to function from gut feelings. Meaning that if something doesn’t resonate with me within my body, I don’t do it. This made it a bit challenging for my first couple of …
I started my VA business in September of 2018. I had been doing administrative work most of my career. Sure, I had worked in several different industries but when it came down to it, I loved being the support and administration behind a team. I thought this would be easy. And in some ways, it …

Between emails, making travel arrangements, setting up meetings, scheduling and engaging on social media, data entry, sending newsletters, blogging, and not to mention serving your clients, you feel as though the days are never long enough. You know you need to do all of these …
