In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm so excited to bring you our next VA Spotlight 2025 feature with the amazing Meghan Braun! Meghan's story is a powerful example of how creating a virtual assistant business can transform not just your career, but your entire life – right down to your health.
A year ago, Meghan took a leap of faith, quitting her 15-year corporate career to dive headfirst into the VA world. She was tired of feeling undervalued and wanted the freedom to be truly present for her daughter. What she created is so unique and inspiring!
In this conversation, you'll learn:
-
How Meghan navigated the transition from a structured corporate job to the freedom of entrepreneurship.
-
The "aha" moment that led her to combine her passions and create a unique niche: providing virtual assistant services for Amazon Influencers and TikTok Content Creators!
-
How building her own business has given her the ultimate freedom to homeschool her daughter next year.
-
The incredible, life-changing impact this journey has had on her health, allowing her to come off medication for a chronic illness due to reduced stress.
-
Her experience within the VA Leadership Academy and the power of finding a supportive community.
-
Her core belief that anyone can turn their passion into a thriving virtual business.
Meghan's story is a beautiful reminder that this path is about so much more than just work; it's about creating a life of freedom, joy, and well-being. If you're looking for a sign that you can do this too, this is it!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
