Thinking about hiring a VA or building a team but not sure where to start?

In this episode I sat down with Sara Wiles, a total powerhouse who’s built an incredible business helping moms create thriving careers as virtual assistants (VAs). Sara’s story is so relatable—it’s all about navigating the messy realities of motherhood while building a business that fits your life (not the other way around). She opened up about her journey from corporate burnout to becoming a mentor for service-based entrepreneurs, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer to hear how she made it all work.

Sara also dropped gold on hiring the right team, leaning into community, and redefining success on your own terms. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at the juggling act, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone—and you’re doing better than you think!

Tune in to hear:

  • How Sara went from overwhelmed corporate event planner to thriving entrepreneur by rewriting her story
  • What it really means to build a life-first business (and why it’s the key to sustainability)
  • The power of borrowing belief from others to make bold moves toward your dreams
  • Why soft skills like care and resourcefulness are the ultimate tools for success in business and team building
  • How redefining success allows you to balance ambition, family, and fulfillment
