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!
