This is such a great achievement - we’ve reached 20 episodes of The Un-Business Podcast! Between the 2 of us blending businesses, families, employment, communities, being social humans, and all the things that come with life in general, we are SO bluddy proud to reach this milestone.

In this episode we actually introduce ourselves - yes, really! We realised that we’ve made it this far into your minds, but have never actually talked too much about what each of us do behind the scenes.

And we couldn’t have made it this far in our story sharing journey without the fabulous guests we’ve had join us along the way. A big thank you to Marisa Hodson, Leanne Woff, Fleur Gowland, Tahlia Meredith and Jemimah Ashleigh for sharing your wisdom, your experiences, and your encouragement with all of us.

Marisa Hodson has been in the VA industry for almost 5 years - this realisation comes to her during this episode when she’s talking about some of her experiences while she’s been in business.

This conversation is a raw and open discussion about fear around money, fear around celebrating the wins (because we worry about when “will the good thing end?”), and how we can get caught in a spiral of self doubt. We talk about mental health, and the powerful impact that having a community of encouraging, supportive, and honest people around you has – and also, the gratitude that Amber and Marisa have for the Virtually Yours members (and their fearless leader).

We aren’t talking tips about marketing etc - today we are talking about how many VAs like to hide behind their computer instead of getting out in front of their audience. Why? What is the fear? What are some solutions? Is it introversion or is it something deeper?

What are some ways to take those baby steps to come around from behind the screens? How can you build your ‘know, like and trust’ factors without making yourself hideously stressed out? Let’s chat about it!

We spoke about photographers we recommend. They are:
