  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Welcome to Booked Out with Bre: the podcast for virtual assistants ready to level up and founders building with team who refuse to choose between audacious ambition and a life they actually love. I'm your host, Bre Cain, mama of three, unapologetic entrepreneur, and founder of a business built from my kitchen table and 4-year-old's bedroom with big energy and zero apologies. I'm the founder of ICON & Lightning, a remote team agency that hand matches elite virtual assistants to founder-led businesses ... because the right team isn't an operational decision, it's a leadership identity. I'm also the founder of the VA Leadership Academy, where I've trained nearly 500 virtual assistants in the technical skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership identity it takes to become a truly strategic partner; not just a task doer. Six years ago, I thought I had to choose. Mom or career. Present or ambitious. I went back to my 9-to-5 after my first baby and lasted three months before I realized my entire definition of success had shifted. So I bet on myself and built a business that now approaches $2M in just three years, scaled in part-time hours, alongside my kids, from home. Here's what I know for sure: you don't have to choose. You can have the booming business. The clients you're obsessed with. The school pickups, the slow mornings, the spontaneous yes moments. You can build a team that amplifies your vision instead of adding to your mental load. You can scale without sacrificing the life you built the business to protect. This podcast is for the virtual assistant who's ready to stop trading hours for dollars and start leading like the strategic asset she already is. It's for the founder who's done doing it all alone and is ready to build a team that actually runs. And it's for every ambitious mama who was told to shrink ... and decided not to. Expect candid conversations, zero corporate fluff, and the kind of real talk that makes you feel seen and activated. 💸Are you a VA ready to get booked out and level up? → Book a Free VA Mentor Call 🚀Are you a founder ready to build your dream team? → Book a Free Dream Team Design Session Connect with Bre: 📸 Instagram: @heyitsbrecain

    111. Team Talk Show Premiere: "Did I Adopt an Adult?" & The Unpaid COO Problem

    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm SO excited to launch a brand new format: the Team Talk Show! This is the live call-in show where founders, VAs, and our emotionally attached Slack threads all come together. As a founder who has built a multi-million dollar business with an incredible team and as a mentor to thousands of elite VAs, I've seen both sides of the table, and today, we're getting into the real and raw questions.   I'm answering two juicy "call-in" questions that get straight to the heart of team dynamics. First, a tired founder asks, "I hired a VA to work less, but now I'm answering more questions than ever. Am I delegating wrong, or did I accidentally adopt an adult?" Then, a VA calls in with a classic case of scope creep: "My client keeps asking me what to do... I'm basically the COO without the pay. How do I bring this up without getting fired?"   In this first-ever Team Talk Show, you'll learn: Why your new VA might feel like more work, and the two critical components to fix it: hiring for character and clearly defining "what done looks like." My proven strategy for vetting VAs with test projects before you even get on a call. The non-negotiable step every founder must take to empower their team: creating a Company Handbook. For VAs: The exact script to use when "scope creep" happens, allowing you to renegotiate your role and pay from a place of power. Why setting firm boundaries is the sexiest thing you can do as a VA and will earn you more respect from your clients, not less.   This is a must-listen for both founders who want to build a truly supportive team and for VAs who are ready to step into their leadership. Plus, I'm sharing my big vision for where this "Team Talk Show" is headed (hint: think in-person studio!).   Episode Outline: Welcome to the First-Ever Team Talk Show (01:38) Caller #1: A Founder Who is Tired - "Am I Delegating Wrong or Did I Accidentally Adopt an Adult?" (03:11) Why This Happens: The Two Core Issues (Hiring & Expectations) (05:00) Hiring the Right Person: Look for Character & Aptitude, Not Just Tech Skills (06:00) The Power of the Test Project to Vet Real-World Skills (08:00) Founder Leadership: Clearly Articulate "What Done Looks Like" (09:28) Your Homework: Create a Company Handbook (Mission, Vision, Values, Standards) (10:30) How to Lead a "Team Reset Call" to Reinvigorate Your Team (14:00) Caller #2: A VA Who is the Unofficial COO - "How Do I Ask for More Pay Without Getting Fired?" (15:13) The Importance of Having a Clear Contract from the Start (16:30) Identifying "Scope Creep" and How to Address It (19:28) The Script: How to Open the Conversation with Your Client (22:30) Why Your Boundaries Earn Respect & Attract High-Caliber Clients (21:07) The Founder's Perspective: We Invest in Team Members Who Are Invested in Us (24:00) Behind the Scenes: The Big Vision for Team Talk Show (25:15) Future Topic Teaser: Intimacy, Vulnerability, and Team Dynamics (28:30) Closing Remarks (29:30)   Ways to Work with Me: Follow Me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heyitsbrecain/ Mom X VA Free Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/momxva Apply for the VA Leadership Academy https://caincollectivellc.com/valaapplication Book a Free Dream Team Design Session (for founders building with Team) https://www.breannacain.com/iconandlightningbookacall If you enjoyed this episode, I would love it so much if you left a rating and review!

    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I am so excited to bring on the amazing Alexis Pixler, a powerhouse from our VA Leadership Academy family! Alexis's story is a beautiful example of what can happen when you give your dreams a second chance, this time with the right support, mindset, and strategy. Alexis actually started a VA business back in 2020 out of necessity, but without the right structure, it didn't take off. After returning to the corporate world, she knew she was meant for more and decided to relaunch her business. This time, everything was different. In just 90 days, she's already on track to hit 5K months and is paying for her wedding in full! Here’s what I chat about with Alexis: Her journey of starting a VA business twice, and the key differences that led to her explosive success the second time around. The profound impact of "identity work" and how it gave her the confidence to build a business around her true passions. How she went from scrambling for any job to strategically attracting clients she loves to work with. The incredible, life-changing results she's seen in just three months—from paying off debt to planning her dream wedding and getting ready to buy a house. The critical lesson she learned about not trading time for money and the importance of creating value-based packages. An inside look at her business as a systems and operations VA and how she serves as the operational backbone for her clients. If you've ever tried something that didn't work out the first time or are looking for the confidence to finally go all-in on your business, Alexis's story of her "do-over" will inspire you to believe in your own success.   Episode Outline: Introduction: Meet VA Leadership Academy Member, Alexis (01:09) Alexis's Story: A 10-Year Corporate HR Background & a VA Business "Do-Over" (02:20) The Initial Spark: Why Flexibility First Drew Her to the VA World (04:08) Lessons from Relaunching: The Game-Changing Impact of Identity Work (05:33) From Taking Any Job to Attracting Aligned Clients (07:28) The Power of Confidence: Knowing You Can Learn Any Tool or System (08:16) The "Surprise" Element of VALA: More Than Just Tech Skills (09:47) Rapid Success: On Track for 5K Months Within 90 Days of Relaunching (10:39) The Life-Changing Impact: Buying a House, Paying Off Debt & Funding a Wedding (11:21) Making the Leap: How She Decided to Invest in Herself (14:35) Alexis's Biggest Piece of Advice: Don't Trade Your Time for Money (17:18) Alexis's Business: A Systems & Operations VA for Small Businesses (18:51) How to Connect with Alexis (20:09)   Connect with Alexis: Email: hello@alexisjoybs.com Website: https://links.ivorey.io/widget/form/ZFMruYqoemxaq2HdnhNw   Ways to Work with Me: Follow Me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heyitsbrecain/ Mom X VA Free Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/momxva Apply for the VA Leadership Academy https://caincollectivellc.com/valaapplication Book a Free Dream Team Design Session (for founders building with Team) https://www.breannacain.com/iconandlightningbookacall If you enjoyed this episode, I would love it so much if you left a rating and review!

    109. VA Spotlight: From Draining Government Job to "Tech Witch" with Angi Terpenning

    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I am so excited to bring on the incredible Angi Terpenning, a recent graduate of the VA Leadership Academy Certification program! Angi's story is such a beautiful example of blending practical skills with intuitive, creative gifts to build not one, but two thriving businesses.   After 20 years in a draining government job, Angi knew she was meant for more. She had already built a successful side hustle as a tax preparer, which grew into a full-scale accounting firm, Wildflowers Tax and Accounting. It was through serving her small business clients that she saw a massive need for back-office and virtual assistant support, which led her to the VA world and eventually to building her own VA agency, Honeybee VA.   Here’s what I chat about with Angi: How her accounting firm revealed a huge gap in the market for virtual assistant services. Her unique blend of being a numbers-loving "tech witch" with a creative streak, and how she serves clients with both sides of her brain. The power of mindset and manifestation in her business journey, and how she now expects her goals to happen. Her experience with tapping (shoutout to Brad Yates!) and how it helped her release old "grossness" and move forward with clarity. How the VA Leadership Academy gave her the confidence to know she was on the right track and ready to conquer the world. Her advice for aspiring VAs: "Just jump in and figure it out!"   Angi is a true multi-passionate entrepreneur who is proof that you can build businesses that honor all parts of who you are. If you're ready to get inspired to blend your logic with your magic, you're going to love this conversation!   Episode Outline: Introduction: Meet Angi Terpenning, Multi-Business Owner & VALA Graduate (01:10) Angi's Story: From a 20-Year Government Job to Entrepreneurship (02:16) Identifying a Need: How Her Accounting Firm Led Her to the VA World (02:40) The Superpower Blend: Combining Data-Driven Skills with Creative Intuition (05:51) Becoming the "Tech Witch": How She Attracts Her Dream Clients (07:20) Mindset & Manifestation: Expecting Your Desires to Come to Fruition (08:48) The Power of Tapping: Releasing Old Blocks with Brad Yates (11:32) A Look at Angi's Businesses: Wildflowers Tax and Accounting & Honeybee VA (15:17) Advice for Aspiring VAs: Just Do It, Even if You Don't Have All the Skills (16:25) Her Experience in the VA Leadership Academy (17:33) Closing Encouragement & Where to Find Angi (18:55) Final Remarks (19:19)   Connect with Angi: https://wildflowerstaxandaccounting.com/contact https://honeybeeva.com/contact   Ways to Work with Me: Follow Me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heyitsbrecain/ Mom X VA Free Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/momxva Apply for the VA Leadership Academy https://caincollectivellc.com/valaapplication Book a Free Dream Team Design Session (for founders building with Team) https://www.breannacain.com/iconandlightningbookacall If you enjoyed this episode, I would love it so much if you left a rating and review!

    108. VA Spotlight: Angela Guerrero on Leaving Corporate & Building Her Dream VA Business

    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I am so excited to bring on the amazing Angela Guerrero, a recent graduate of the VA Leadership Academy Certification program! Angela's story is such a powerful example of what's possible when you listen to that little voice inside telling you to "invest in yourself" and go after the life you truly want.   After nine years in a stressful corporate scheduling job, Angela knew she needed a change. The long hours and late-night calls were keeping her from being the present mom she wanted to be for her three daughters. She took a leap of faith, quit her job without a backup plan, and found her way to the virtual assistant world.   Here’s what I chat about with Angela: Her journey from a toxic corporate environment to discovering the VA pathway. The "aha" moment when she realized she could build a business from home without sacrificing time with her kids. How she leveraged her incredible background in scheduling, planning, and operations to become a highly valuable OBM. Her experience in the Vala Certification program and how it gave her the confidence and hands-on skills to build funnels, email sequences, and more. How she overcame her fear of being on camera and stepped into a more confident version of herself. An inside look at her business, Red Lotus Virtual Solutions, and the behind-the-scenes magic she works for her clients. If you've ever felt stuck in a job that's draining you or dreamed of having more flexibility and presence in your family's life, Angela's story will show you what's possible when you trust your intuition and take that next step.   Episode Outline: Introduction: Meet Angela Guerrero, a VA Leadership Academy Certified Virtual Assistant (01:21) Angela's "Before" Story: Leaving a Toxic, Stressful Corporate Job (02:25) The Catalyst: A Voice Saying "Invest in Yourself" (03:40) Discovering the Virtual Assistant Industry & What's Possible (05:10) The "Why": Being More Present for Her Three Daughters (07:00) Leveraging Her Corporate Background in Operations & Planning as a VA (09:07) Angela's Experience in the VALA Certification Program (11:51) Gaining Confidence and Understanding the Language of Online Business (12:50) The Power of "Figuring It Out" and Being a Resourceful Virtual Assistant (14:45) Advice for Aspiring VAs: Why the Vala Program is Worth It (15:45) Overcoming the Fear of Visibility and Showing Up on Camera (17:02) Meet Angela's Business: Red Lotus Virtual Solutions (20:13) How She Serves Clients as an OBM (Workflows, Planning, Scheduling) (20:53) Final Thoughts and Encouragement (22:09) Closing Remarks (22:48) Connect with Angela: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-guerrero-233a63276/   Angela Guerrero's professional VA Portfolio: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG6RquoGS8/XRbgCEknXtcGOVAYyzdbqg/edit   Ways to Work with Me: Follow Me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heyitsbrecain/ Mom X VA Free Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/momxva Access My "You're Hired!"

About

Welcome to Booked Out with Bre: the podcast for virtual assistants ready to level up and founders building with team who refuse to choose between audacious ambition and a life they actually love. I'm your host, Bre Cain, mama of three, unapologetic entrepreneur, and founder of a business built from my kitchen table and 4-year-old's bedroom with big energy and zero apologies. I'm the founder of ICON & Lightning, a remote team agency that hand matches elite virtual assistants to founder-led businesses ... because the right team isn't an operational decision, it's a leadership identity. I'm also the founder of the VA Leadership Academy, where I've trained nearly 500 virtual assistants in the technical skills, emotional intelligence, and leadership identity it takes to become a truly strategic partner; not just a task doer. Six years ago, I thought I had to choose. Mom or career. Present or ambitious. I went back to my 9-to-5 after my first baby and lasted three months before I realized my entire definition of success had shifted. So I bet on myself and built a business that now approaches $2M in just three years, scaled in part-time hours, alongside my kids, from home. Here's what I know for sure: you don't have to choose. You can have the booming business. The clients you're obsessed with. The school pickups, the slow mornings, the spontaneous yes moments. You can build a team that amplifies your vision instead of adding to your mental load. You can scale without sacrificing the life you built the business to protect. This podcast is for the virtual assistant who's ready to stop trading hours for dollars and start leading like the strategic asset she already is. It's for the founder who's done doing it all alone and is ready to build a team that actually runs. And it's for every ambitious mama who was told to shrink ... and decided not to. Expect candid conversations, zero corporate fluff, and the kind of real talk that makes you feel seen and activated. 💸Are you a VA ready to get booked out and level up? → Book a Free VA Mentor Call 🚀Are you a founder ready to build your dream team? → Book a Free Dream Team Design Session Connect with Bre: 📸 Instagram: @heyitsbrecain
