First Chapter - Virtual Assistant

With this term wrapping up, I have loved looking back on what I have done to support my clients.

Not going to lie this term was rough on the personal front. Challenging as a parent and hard seeing my Dad go through Cancer Treatments. BUT again I appreciate what I have built, the flexibility it allows me to take each day as it comes.

Tilly is off to school as of next term (celebrations for the one drop off) which means I have a slight increase in my capacity.

I don’t often have spots become available, and they don’t last long.

If you have a project coming up, want some help unraveling your brain or need some help just gaining some momentum jump on my waitlist.

I am just in such a thankful space, in what is a pretty crazy season of life.

My Not so new service.

This has been on offer for a while but I haven’t given it much time to shine. HOWEVER, it’s is fast becoming a go to fav for people.

Disclaimer…you may become highly motivated and inspired, so make sure you have time scheduled after!

Today I received this beautiful testimonial, it made me teary.

Claire was going through a big refresh this year, and she assembled what she dubbed her “A team”. There was new copy written, new website and a whole lot of ideas!

When working with someone, it’s not always about listening to the words they say. It was about seeing what their body language is telling me. Then seeing the passion and motivation return when we build something that truely aligns.

I said to Claire, and I will say it loud so those at the back can hear. Sometimes to need to slow down to speed up.

I can’t wait to see all Claire has cooking come out into the world this year!

A little peek into how my days are structured.

Mornings start with mum mode. Getting the girls ready, school bags packed, and the school run done. By the time I get home around 9, I like to do a quick house reset and tidy the kitchen. If the weather is nice, I’ll head out for a walk as well. It helps my brain wake up properly before work.

At 9:30 I head into the office and this is where the magic happens. My brain loves a good hyperfocus window, so I use that time for deep work with my clients. Designing, planning, building things, solving problems.

That focused block runs until about 12:30.
Then I leave the office. Laptop closed. I make sure I eat something, move my body, and give my brain a proper break. Sometimes that looks like a bit of reading, sometimes a trashy TV episode, sometimes just pottering around with an audiobook in my ear.

Around 2:15 I head to school and do my little park and plan before pick up, then we’re off to kindy and the afternoon begins.

This rhythm has been working really well for my ADHD brain over the past year. Protecting my best brain hours means I can do really focused work for my clients without burning myself out.

It is also why my availability is limited. I only allow a certain number of client hours so that I can keep working this way and keep my energy steady.

Turns out working with your brain instead of fighting it makes a big difference.

Can we talk about sunk cost for a minute?

A client of mine had invested in a yearly software subscription. And because she’d paid for the year, she felt like she had to make it work.
Even though it didn’t suit her brain.
Even though it was clunky.
Even though she already knew it wasn’t her long-term solution.

She was pouring time and energy into forcing it to fit, knowing she would likely rebuild everything in a year anyway.

That’s the sunk cost principle in action. We hold onto something purely because we’ve already paid for it.
But the money is already spent. The real cost becomes your time, your motivation, and your mental load.

Sometimes the most strategic decision is letting go.
Just because you paid for it does not mean you have to suffer through it.

Choose the option that supports your brain, your energy, and your future momentum.

Have you ever stayed with something longer than you should have because you’d already paid for it?
