August 01, 2025 • Heidi Schalk • Episode 86

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Molly Rose Speed, a former corporate professional turned entrepreneur who’s made it her mission to help others reclaim their time and design a life they love. As the founder of Virtual Assistant Academy and Virtual Assistant Management, Molly Rose shares how one denied vacation day became the catalyst for building a thriving business and an intentional life of freedom. We talk about the power of starting messy, setting boundaries, embracing fear, and staying connected to your "why." Whether you’re ready to pivot, grow, or simply dream again—this conversation will light a spark in you.

Molly Rose Speed is a trailblazer in the online business world who took control of her career by walking away from the corporate grind and building a life on her own terms. As the founder of Virtual Assistant Academy and Virtual Assistant Management, she’s dedicated her work to helping others—especially women—do the same. With a background in finance and a knack for streamlining systems and scaling businesses, Molly Rose teaches entrepreneurs how to reclaim their time, grow sustainably, and create freedom through automation, delegation, and smart strategy. Her mission is simple: create a career around your life, not a life around your career.
