Live Your Best Life as a Virtual Assistant

We all have the same 24 hours. But how we think about those hours makes all the difference.

I used to feel victimized by time. Like, there was never enough. Like it was happening to me instead of for me.

But somewhere along the way, my thinking shifted.

I stopped seeing time as something that pas...

Every day I get up, and I decide what kind of day I'm going to have.

I look at what's on the schedule, think about who I'll spend time with, when I'll exercise, what I'm looking forward to, and I decide ahead of time how I want to feel.

By being deliberate and not leaving my feelings up to chance,...

Women thinking about becoming Virtual Assistants often worry they don't have the right skills.

They tell me they've been out of the workplace too long. They stress about not having corporate experience. They fret about not being techy enough. They wonder if they're too old to start something new.

I've never been big on New Year's resolutions.

Most of them fade by February. We start strong, life gets busy, and suddenly it's March and we can't remember what we were so excited about.

But I've decided that this year will be different for me.

I sat down in December and got honest with myself a...

Happy New Year.

I want to start 2026 by asking you a question: Do you know what you want?

Not what you think you should want. Not what would make other people like you or approve of you. What you actually want.

Until I was almost 50, I didn't let myself answer that question honestly. It was too s...

As we wrap up the year, I looked back at the newsletters that got the biggest response from you.

These four stood out:

1. Ditch the Commute. Ditch the Rules. This Is Your New Life.
A reminder that freedom isn't a dream - it's a decision. This one captured why so many of us chose the VA path in the ...

Last week I was decorating the house and baking for the holidays, when I noticed how I was feeling.

I caught myself rushing, trying to finish as quickly as possible. I was treating getting ready for the season like a chore.

And then I stopped and thought, what's up? You love this. What are you doi...

I got back from Scottsdale late Thursday night.

A week away from my desk. Time with friends, time with my brother, a conference with my business coach. It was exactly what I needed.

And then I came home, sat down at my desk, and thought: I don't know what to do next.

You know that feeling? Where ...

I'm writing this from Scottsdale.

I spent the first part of this trip with a group of women I've known for six years. We met in a business mastermind, and somewhere along the way, we became so much more than that.

These are women I can be completely myself with. No pretending. 

We spent days shop...

Last week I told you about my failed online baby gift boutique - and how that failure made me question whether I could ever trust myself again as a business owner.

This week, I want to tell you about the moment that changed.

It was about two years into my VA business, RocketGirl Solutions.
