I’m selective about who I work with. 💅🏻

Not because I’m trying to be exclusive.. but because your success is my success. And I’m not going to take you on if I don’t genuinely believe I can help you.

All my clients all have something in common.
It’s not their work, business model, or niche. It’s not how much they’re making. It’s who they are and how they show up.

❤️‍🔥 They already know they’re capable of reaching their goals.
They didn’t need me to convince them they can do big things, they already believe it. But they know that with the right support, they’ll get there faster.

❤️‍🔥 They’re not scared to invest in their business.
If you hit me with “let me think about it” after a discovery call, we’re probably not a match. The clients I work best with are decisive. They see the value and they move on it.

❤️‍🔥They’re confident, spiritual, and unapologetically themselves.
My clients are badass entrepreneurs who know exactly what they bring to the table. They’re not meek. They’re not playing small. They’re fully in their energy, they own their worth, and they’re not afraid to take up space.

(Also if you curse casually in conversation, that’s usually a good sign lol 😂)

I could say yes to everyone who reaches out. But I don’t. Because I care more about doing great work with the right people than just filling my roster.

And when you’re hiring support for your business, I hope you do the same. 🚀

If you’ve been through 3, 4, 5+ VAs in the last couple years and none of them have worked out.. it’s time to look inward my galll.

A good VA/client relationship doesn’t JUST HAPPEN. And if you keep hiring people who “don’t get it” or “need too much hand holding” or “just aren’t proactive enough”.. chances are, you’re not setting them up for success.

Here are the 3 most common reasons VA relationships fail (and how to fix them):

1. There was no proper onboarding
If you’re hiring a VA but you don’t have videos, SOPs, or even a clear list of what you want to hand off and how you like it done.. you’re setting both of you up to fail. Take the time to document how things should be done, so you’re not wasting time or money.

2. Your working styles are mismatched (and you didn’t talk about it in your discovery call)
Some VA’s do daily check ins. Some message when needed and not have constant back and forth. None of these are wrong.. but if you and your VA aren’t on the same page about how you like to work, it will become a burden more than a fix.

3. You’re not communicating clearly (or proactively)
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “my VA should just know what I need.” No. They shouldn’t. Even the best VA can’t read your mind. If you’re not communicating your expectations, your priorities, your preferences.. how are they supposed to deliver what you want?
A good VA will ask questions. A great VA will anticipate needs. But YOU have to create the foundation of clear communication from the start.

I have clients I’ve worked with for 3.5+ years. Some pause and come back months (or even years) later because they realize how rare it is to find support they can actually trust.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens because we’re aligned. Because I communicate proactively. Because I treat their business like my own. And because they set me up to succeed from day one.

If you’ve been through multiple VAs and it’s never worked out, I’m not saying you’re a bad client. I’m saying it’s time to look at the pattern.

The right VA is out there. But you have to be the right client too. 🤍

LA dump 🌞🌴

I spent the last month in LA - house sitting, working remotely, bouncing around different neighborhoods, and tbh.. it was everything I needed after the worst winter ever lol.

And the whole time, I kept waiting to feel like I was home.

But I didn’t.

What I felt instead was how much I missed HOME. My sisters. My parents. My dogs. The people who ground me. The life I’ve built here in Pennsylvania. The life I didn’t think I wanted when I left.

I lived in LA for 8 years. I loved it here. I thought leaving was the hardest thing I’d ever do. And there I was, two weeks in, all I wanted was to go back to the place I once couldn’t wait to escape.

It shocked me, honestly. How did I ever live across the country from everyone I love? How did that version of me exist?

I had a moment there, I was sitting in one of my favorite coffee shops I used to work at all the time. Same clients. Same tasks. Same routine. Except everything in my life had changed.

And somehow, that felt beautiful.

My work didn’t need me to stay in one place. It didn’t care that my entire life had been rearranged. It just… existed alongside me, steady and unchanging, while everything else shifted.

That’s the thing about building a business like this. It bends with you. It doesn’t anchor you to one version of your life. You get to test things out. See what fits. Walk away from what doesn’t.
And that freedom (the real kind, not the Instagram kind) is what I was actually chasing five years ago when I started this.

I know my life is going to shift again. I’ve been back in Pennsylvania for a year and a half, and I’m finally ready to stop feeling like I’m waiting for the next thing. To actually build something here.. to let this be home, not just where I landed when my health fell apart.

But knowing I could leave if I needed to? Knowing I have the option to rebuild anywhere? It’s everything.

LA was beautiful. It always is. But coming home felt like exhaling for the first time in a month. 🤍

Vulnerability hangover incoming but I think this is important. ❤️‍🩹

I don’t talk about my chronic pain/illness too much, but I want clients and potential clients to understand how I work and why I’ve built my business the way I have.

This carousel is honest, real, and something I wish more people talked about.

5 years.
January 21, 2021.

I was 23 years old, watching a TikTok about becoming a virtual assistant, and something in me just knew. I had no credentials, no experience, no safety net. Just a feeling that this was my path.

I remember holding my rose quartz one night, speaking my vision into existence: I will have clients. I will build a business. I will work for myself, on my terms, and create a life I love. That manifestation became my reality.

But the journey wasn’t what they sold me.

Work whenever! From wherever! Total freedom! And while those things are true, nobody warns you about the initiation. The shedding. The complete reconstruction of self that entrepreneurship just IS.

I have never worked harder. I’ve never been more tested. I’ve never had to confront myself over and over again.

This business stripped away every limiting belief I didn’t even know I was carrying. It forced me to build unshakable selfassurance when I had none. To detach from outcomes. To hold my worth. To price my energy accordingly and stand firm in that decision.

In that dismantling, I found who I actually am.

Strong. Resilient. Capable of holding the weight of other people’s businesses as if they were my own. Organized, strategic, multi dimensional. Someone who doesn’t just learn, I master.

I look back at that 23 year old version of me.. the one standing at the edge of the unknown.. and I honor her. She didn’t have a blueprint. She didn’t have proof it would work. But she trusted the pull. She invested everything she had. She showed up, even when it was uncomfortable. (and damn was it uncomfortable).

Five years later, I know this with absolute certainty that there is nothing I cannot do. If I don’t know how, I will learn. If there’s no path, I will create one.

This business has been the hardest thing I’ve ever chosen. It’s also given me everything I envisioned and so much more.

Freedom. Sovereignty. Financial independence. A version of myself I didn’t know existed.

I’ve grown up in these five years. I’ve witnessed my own capacity. I’ve proven to myself again and again that I am capable of impossible things.

And somehow I get the feeling this is just the beginning.

I don’t chase clients.

If someone wants to work with me, it needs to feel like a full body F**K YES for BOTH of us.

I’m not going to convince you to hire me or prove why you need support.

I know what I bring to the table. I’m confident in my work because I genuinely love what I do. I treat my clients’ businesses like they’re my own. I show up, I execute, I deliver every single time.

I build real partnerships. The kind where we’re both invested, where we’re creating something together, where it turns into a long-term collaboration.

I have clients I’ve worked with for 3.5+ years. I have clients who’ve paused support for whatever reason.. life, budget, timing.. and come back to me months or even years later.

And that kind of client relationship? It only happens when the energy is aligned on both sides.

So if you’re out here chasing potential clients who aren’t sure about working with you? - Don’t.

Chase being the best at what you do.
Chase clarity on who you actually want to work with.
Chase client relationships that feel easy and right from day one.

The right clients will show up. They always do. 🤍

1 year back in PA 🏙️🔔📜❤️

I moved home from LA kicking and screaming, and it felt like the life I built for myself was falling apart.

This year, I fell in love with my life again.

With myself. With my business.

And with what’s possible when you stop forcing things and start letting them unfold. 🤍

happy halloweeeek 👻 let’s talk about something truly TERRIFYING...

The VA horror stories my clients have shared with me about their past support.

Real stories that still haunt them:
💀 The VA who ghosted mid-launch (yes, really)
🕷️ “I’ll send that over today!” (never seen again)
🧛‍♀️ Having to ask 6 times for a simple update
🎃 Paying for support but feeling MORE stressed
😱 VAs who treated their business like a hobby

Now, i’m not really a scary movie girl… but this sounds scarier than any commercial I’ve seen 😂

And I totally get why coaches are hesitant to invest in support again after being burned like this.

What I can promise you: that’s not what real support looks like.

There ARE good, reliable, VA’s out there that will get YOU + YOUR BUSINESS.

Real support means:
You’re never left wondering what’s happening.
Communication is proactive and consistent.
Work gets done right, without you having to micromanage.
You feel like a priority (because you should be).
You actually get your money’s worth.

This isn’t a side hustle for me.
This is my full-time job.
And my #1 priority?
Making sure my clients feel supported.
Period.

If you’ve been haunted by bad VA experiences, it DOES NOT have to be that way. You deserve support that actually supports you.

No ghosting. No chasing. No wondering.

Just someone who shows up, communicates, and treats your business like it matters.

BECAUSE IT DOES. 🎃

You know when your partner asks “what do you need help with around the house?” and you say “idk..” but inside you’re lowkey seething bc you 100% know but don’t want to have to ASK for it?

What if I told you the thing holding you back from scaling isn’t your strategy, your offer, or your marketing...

It’s the fact that you’re still doing everything yourself?

You’re the coach.
The admin.
The tech person.
The email responder.
The social media manager.
The launch coordinator.

And you wonder why you’re exhausted… ? LOL GIRL.

I see this all the time with coaches.. f*cking BRILLIANT at what they do, . but drowning in everything else.

The ones who grow?
They get comfortable asking for help.
They build support systems.
They stop pretending they have to do it all.

We’re almost in 2026. Is this the year you finally let yourself be supported?

Swipe if you’re ready to stop pretending 👉🤍
