As someone who spends a lot of time living out of a backpack and working from wherever I can find WiFi, I put together a list of gifts that are actually useful and travel friendly. Things I use and love for every trip.

If you’re a new to the world of Virtual Assisting, or a seasoned va like myself, discovery calls can feel intimidating! Especially if you’re not sure what to say, how to guide the conversation, or how to confidently nail for the sale at the end.

One of the burning questions that every new Virtual Assistant asks is, “Where do I actually find clients?” When you’re just starting out, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out where to find your first paying gig and how to get your foot in the Virtual Assistant door. My biggest piece of advise is to utilize Facebook groups.

2025 marks my SIXTH year in business!!! Way back in 2019, I took a leap of faith and started my journey as a virtual assistant. Today, as I celebrate this anniversary, I’m filled with gratitude and excitement to reflect on the incredible journey it has been. Whether you’re a long-time client, a new connection, or someone curious about the virtual assistant world, I want to take a moment to re-introduce myself, share the story of how it all began, and highlight some of the milestones that have defined these six amazing years.

Remote work has been on the rise these days. More and more people are going into business for themselves - I see you freelancers! - or jobs are accepting how beneficial having remote workers can be! While the freedom and flexibility of working remotely can be liberating, it can also be isolating and overwhelming.

There are four main pillars of virtual assisting. Most tasks will fall under one of them. Start virtual assisting today with these twelve offerings.

I have been traveling around Mexico on my solo digital nomad journey for the past six weeks. I wouldn’t say that I am an expert traveler, but I have learned some things that have helped me stay grounded during this trip.

Today marks one month in Mexico. I feel as though the two weeks of this trip took their sweet time. I sipped in every ounce of the day. Everything I did was intentional. Each moment was documented and stored away in a memory.

A lot has happened. I haven't been on top of these blogs as I had hoped so. I’m releasing that expectation of myself. The main lesson that I have learned on this trip is that I can choose what I want and don’t want to do. Where to go. What to do. Where to stay. Who to talk to. When to write or not write a blog.

This week has been all about finding connection. I started the year staying with my best friends in Victoria. As humans who also work from home and a dog that loves cuddles, It was the best for lounging at home. During this week, I BOUGHT A TICKET TO MEXICO. My good pal Cassia back home messaged me out of the blue, and it said “Wanna go to Cabo!!!!!” to which I responded “Hell yea”.

I decided to start this segment of my blog called the workcation chronicles to remind myself that there is life outside of work, to document my grandiose adventures, and to maybe inspire others to live an “against the norm, non-traditional” life.

Midlife is a time when a lot of things are changing. Your kids are moving out and starting their own families, you’re beginning to feel unfulfilled by a long-held job, and your mortality seems much more obvious than it did when you were younger. Midlife is when people start to notice a decline in their physical abilities, reflect on their regrets, and consider what life would have looked like had they taken a different path. Others begin to feel rushed to accomplish big goals as time seems to fly by faster than ever.
