What if working from home didn’t mean burnout, chaos, or hustling yourself into exhaustion?

In this episode of the podcast, we're talking with a pro, Laura Jennings. Not only is she a virtual assistant, she has her own virtual assistants AND teaches women how easy it is to become virtual assistants themselves.

Becoming a virtual assistant can be a realistic, flexible, and surprisingly peaceful way to earn income. Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, burned out professional, or someone craving more autonomy, this episode breaks down what virtual assistants actually do, how people get started, and why this career path works so well.

We cover:

What a virtual assistant really does day-to-day
Why this job works so well for moms, neurodivergent brains, and anyone craving flexibility
How you can start without fancy degrees or tech overwhelm
How to earn income without sacrificing your nervous system

If you’ve been praying for an option that feels doable instead of draining, this conversation might be your answer.
