Hosted by Bobbi Brinkman—speaker, emcee, coach, and founder of the Motivated To Be Fabbo Framework—this podcast delivers mindset shifts, strategic insight, and no-fluff encouragement (but hey, we all benefit from a little woo-woo now and then) to help you own your story, lead with clarity, and take aligned action to define success—on your terms.
Grounded in the 5 FABBO Pillars—Focused, Authentic, Brave, Bold, and Open—you’ll find solo episodes and practical strategies designed to move you forward with more confidence, purpose, and energy.
For entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, dreamers, and changemakers ready to grow personally and professionally while building a legacy that reflects who they are, not just what they do.

26: Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant
Adrienna McDermott is a former bridal boutique owner and wedding planner turned virtual assistant. She is the owner of Ava And The Bee, a virtual assistant and social media managing company for wedding professionals.
Adrienna has been in the wedding industry for 10 years, 5 years working and managing bridal salons, and 4 as the co-owner of Ivory & Beau, a wedding planning, bridal boutique and florist in Savannah, Georgia. Over the last year, she has grown her virtual assistant company and now works full time with two team members.
With her fine arts degree from Savannah College of Art and Design and the experience of opening 3 business before the age of 28, she has acquired unique knowledge on how to start a business, flourish, and scale. Her work has been seen in print and online publications, including Savannah Weddings Magazine, Green Wedding Shoes, 100 Layer Cake and Ruffled.
Adrienna is also passionate about educating others to become freelance virtual assistants. Through her mentorships and course, The Creative VA Academy, she helps women create businesses of their dreams.
When she's not working in her pajamas and top-knot, you can find her with a cup of iced coffee, living in central New York with her tripawd black lab Cooper, slightly overweight cat Brutus, and Army Veteran boyfriend.
