    Managing Overwhelm as a VA: How to Recognise and Reset

    Overwhelm can creep in before you even realise it. In this episode, I share how to spot the early signs, practical strategies to stop it in its tracks and mindset shifts to help you take control before stress takes over.  Every VA experiences overwhelm at some point - whether it’s juggling multiple clients, trying to grow your business, or simply keeping up with everything life throws your way. The problem is, overwhelm doesn’t always hit suddenly. It builds up over time, and before you know it, you’re feeling stuck, exhausted and unsure where to start.  In this episode, I’ll help you recognise the early warning signs of overwhelm, share practical steps to regain control and talk about why looking after your energy is just as important as managing your workload. From brain-dumping and prioritising ruthlessly to shifting your mindset and setting boundaries, these strategies will help you manage challenges without getting stuck in a cycle of stress.  Key Takeaways:  Recognising the early signs of overwhelm allows you to take action before it escalates.  Practical strategies like brain-dumping, prioritisation and energy check-ins help you regain control.  Shifting your mindset and setting boundaries are key to preventing overwhelm in the long term.  It’s not about doing more - it’s about doing what matters most. Overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re failing; it just means you care. The key is learning how to reset before it takes over.  Take five minutes after this episode to brain dump everything on your mind. Then, highlight the one thing you’ll focus on next - and take that first step. Small, intentional actions will help you break free from the cycle of overwhelm.

We also discuss the importance of reviewing your numbers regularly, building a business that works for you (not the other way around), and why taking fearless action is the key to real growth.  Key Takeaways:  Your pricing should reflect the value you bring - not just your time.

    Why VAs Need Support Too: How to Start Outsourcing in Your Business

    You spend so much time helping clients run their businesses - but what about yours? In this episode, I’ll share why getting support in your own business is essential and how to start outsourcing with confidence.  As a VA, you constantly advise your clients on the benefits of outsourcing, but are you applying that same advice to your own business? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or struggling to focus on growth, it might be time to bring in support.  In this episode, I break down why getting help isn’t a luxury - it’s a smart business decision. I’ll guide you through how to track your time, identify tasks to delegate, and start small with outsourcing. From bookkeeping and social media to operations and recruitment, I’ll share practical steps to help you decide where to begin and how to build a support system that grows with your business.  Key Takeaways:  Track your time and identify tasks that drain your energy or distract you from business growth.  Start small - bookkeeping, social media, or admin tasks are great first areas to outsource.  Build relationships with potential support early so you're ready when the time comes to delegate.   This week, track your time and pinpoint one task you could outsource.
