  • Résumé

  • I’m your host, Bre Cain, and I’m here to help you unapologetically book out your business and your life. When I became a mom over six years ago, I thought that I had to choose between being a mom or having a career. I originally went back to my 9 to 5 and I lasted three months then I realized that my priorities had completely changed. So, I became a stay at home mom and it has been a roller coaster ride over reclaiming my sovereignty within motherhood, womanhood, and entrepreneurship. I truly believe that as moms, we can have it all; the booming business, being booked out with clients were obsessed with, being present during our time with our children, and having the ability to say yes to what lights us up and no to what doesn’t. I have built a six figure business in part time hours from home alongside my kids & I want to teach you how to do this too! I started my business as a virtual assistant to now helping women get paid & be unapologetic in motherhood. I am here to normalize 5-figure months & moms having it all. If you want to do that too, get ready for candid conversations on what motherhood and business look like when you decide to claim it all!

    66. Show, Don't Tell: How to Navigate Skepticism from Loved Ones to Build Your Thriving Business
    Jan 29 2025
    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm diving into a topic that many of us struggle with - navigating big dreams and goals when your partner is skeptical. As a mom and a Virtual Assistant business owner, I know firsthand the challenge of pursuing big visions when the people closest to us just don't "get it." I’m getting real about why asking for permission might be the very thing holding you back from your dreams and what to do about it. I'm sharing my personal story of going after my goals while my husband was saying, "What in the world are you doing?!" From direct sales to building my own thriving VA business, I’ve learned that you don't need permission to chase your dreams, you need to own your power and take action. This isn't about marriage advice; it's about empowering you to make the moves you know you need to make and how to navigate it when your partner might not be totally on board. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: Why traditional gender roles and the need for stability can cause partners to be skeptical of your dreams and your business journey. The neuroscience behind why your brain (and your partner's!) prefers the "safety" of the status quo, even when it's not serving you. How I navigated my husband's skepticism when I started my business. Why asking for permission can be a huge power drain and what to do instead. The power of "showing instead of telling" to overcome skepticism and prove your vision is possible. Why it's crucial to hold onto your vision and why you can’t let other people’s limitations become your reality. How to build a business and grow your confidence while still maintaining your family equilibrium. How to maximize your time and accomplish big goals, especially when you’re a busy mom juggling work, kids, family and everything else in between. The importance of intentionality and consistency and how focusing on daily non-negotiables can lead to massive success in your Virtual Assistant business The importance of vulnerability and open and honest communication to maintain a strong relationship with your partner while pursuing big dreams. A reminder that it's your life and your journey – and you get to decide how you show up, what you go after, and what you choose to do, regardless of your partner’s opinions. This episode is a permission slip to do your thing, go after what’s in your heart, and bet on yourself. If you've ever felt like your partner doesn't understand your vision, tune in now, because you are not alone!

    64. The Big Bet: Why I'm Investing in Elite Team Over Mentorship to Scale My Virtual Assistant Business
    Jan 15 2025
    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my biggest business decision yet – a move that’s completely shifting my focus on how to scale and grow. As a mom of three and a Virtual Assistant business owner who’s built a seven-figure company, I’m no stranger to investing in myself. But this time, instead of mentorship, I’m betting big on elite-level team to take us to the next level. I’ll be sharing the story behind this decision, including the intuitive nudge that led me to seek advice from 7 and 8-figure entrepreneurs, and the key takeaways that shaped my plan. I'll dive into why I'm choosing to invest in high-level talent over more courses and programs, and why I believe this shift is going to be crucial for the Virtual Assistant industry moving forward. I’m also getting real about the fear, excitement, and all the in-between emotions that come with making such a bold move. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: The pivotal question I asked in a group of 7 and 8-figure entrepreneurs that led to my big decision. Why I’m choosing to prioritize elite-level team over mentorship at this stage in my Virtual Assistant business. How to differentiate between investing in mentorship vs investing in team. The importance of trusting your intuition when making big decisions and how it led me to hiring my Chief Revenue Officer. Why I believe there is a big shift coming in the Virtual Assistant industry, with increased demand for experienced VAs and skilled support. Why you need to "leap before you're ready" and how that applies to any business decision, whether you're just starting out or scaling a multi-million dollar business. The importance of holding a long term vision even when things feel scary. The two different perspectives on what drives action when taking big leaps – and how to know which one is yours. A reminder to bet on yourself and take action towards your dreams – now. Episode Outline: Planting the Seed: Where Are You on Your Virtual Assistant Journey?
