September 27, 2026 Hey Reader. Can I tell you a quick story? A while back, I worked with a client who was brilliant, energetic, and a total creative visionary. She needed a website refresh to reflect her evolving services properly, showcase her brand story, and make booking an absolute no-brainer for her ideal clients. After an initial inquiry, a consultation, an intro call, and a full website audit, we onboarded her. But by the time we actually started building, nearly three months had...

August 30, 2026 It's been non-stop, Reader. And I have been at capacity. Really over capacity, but still feeling under capacity… and still "struggling" to speak my boundaries. And in the past few months, I have been restructuring my services, building a “launch” to rebrand, and pursuing my certification for the Design Day™ framework (more on that later!). But, it's been a push. I keep telling myself, just keep building the momentum, keep building... on Saturdays, snippets of the evenings,...

January 5, 2026 Good morning Reader, Happy 2026! As the "New Year" noise starts to ramp up, I want to check in on the part of you that might feel... well, a little heavy. There is so much pressure right now to do, to act, and to start immediately just because it is now January. But this season actually calls for a different, slower pace, which feels much more aligned for myself ... {even though I literally have 4 Zoom meetings scheduled for this week, ending with the first social event of the...

August 4, 2025 Happy August,Reader, It's that time of the month again to hit the reset button & recenter. Grab your favorite morning bevvy {espresso for me please!} & protein filled breakfast. Set aside your phone & take a few moments for yourself: For my own reset, I took a solo trip to the beach & just dumped all my thoughts onto paper. It was a huge eye-opener! I was trying to get an unrealistic amount of tasks done in a very short time. Reader, can you relate? Just trying to do it all.....

July 31, 2025 Reader, how are you doing? I can’t believe today is the last day of July! Before we fully move on to August, I hope you take the time to celebrate all that you have done this month! 👏🏽 🥳 And I am so proud of the DCD VA Client Wins this month! One Client was able to take a vacation for a week, completely stepping away from her inbox while her business still thrived as I was able to completely manage her email, calendar & client systems. Another Client needed a last minute update...

July 2025 "I'm in my slow down, 'I just want to hibernate & reflect,' take my cat on a sunny stroll era." Hello Reader, You might have caught my latest Instagram video: my partner & I took our feline out on a sunny stroll {it was such a core memory for us!}, leaning into that summer "slow-down era." It feels indulgent, right? But that leisurely energy? It is absolutely intentional. I am mindfully batching my client work with slow start Mondays, mono-tasking without too many side projects and...

July 7, 2025 Happy July Reader, you Powerhouse of Passions! Does anyone else feel like Mondays can be a bit stressful? Especially after a holiday weekend!? I’d love to start the week off slowly, “aligned” getting done only what needs to get done, but somehow a slow morning can turn into me pushing myself rather unsustainably. And, almost habitually by afternoon I find myself rather stressed & a bit “snappy” almost on the verge of hangry. {I might even start projecting my own frustrations..}...

April 6, 2025 “..your unique experiences, your 'diverse' passions, are your greatest assets…{&} what make your voice authentic and powerful.” Many people ask me, "How did you go from being a Kitchen Manager Chef to a Virtual Assistant Business Owner?" It's a valid question. It’s no secret that I don't have a traditional background in administration. I call myself a multi-passionate professional - you don’t become a high school scholar athlete turned University of Notre Dame Alumna with a...
