I'm not sure when season 2 will be coming, but I do have big plans for when it does and I'm grateful for all of the support that has come from this platform. I'm looking forward to sharing more stories from badass female entrepreneurs in 2021 ✨⁠⁠

In this episode I talk about:⁠

  • why I chose to jump into the VA world⁠
  • what my first steps were in starting my business⁠
  • getting booked out within a month of starting⁠
  • some of the important things I've learned along the way⁠
