Built to be YOU

Send us a textIn this special episode of the Built to Be You Podcast, Michaela sits down with Brittany Anderson, a virtual assistant turned VA mentor and coach, to reflect on their journeys of growth and evolution over the past few years. Brittany was one of Michaela's first supporters during her transition from travel nursing into entrepreneurship. Now, Brittany is a mom to a soon-to-be two-year-old and has built a thriving VA business while stepping into mentorship and coaching other aspiring virtual assistants. This conversation covers navigating the early stages of entrepreneurship, redefining success, balancing motherhood with business, and the power of betting on yourself even when you're scared.Entrepreneurship can feel daunting, but sometimes the worst-case scenario is simply staying where you are. Taking the leap, even when it's scary, can open doors you never expected. Building a business is hard work, but so is staying stuck in a role that doesn't light you up—so choose your hard wisely. Success is deeply personal and should align with your values and lifestyle, rather than being defined by others. Transferable skills from all areas of life—corporate jobs, motherhood, or simply managing daily responsibilities—can set you up for success in entrepreneurship. Remember that your journey will likely involve pivots and growth; be open to change and stay true to what excites you.Join her newsletter to stay up to date on all things Virtual Assistant life & more: https://thedigitalcreative.kit.com/32b1cbbc19Connect on IG: https://www.instagram.com/lifewithbrittanderson/Support the showCONNECT WITH ME: IG: @michaela_robertson_Join Your Nurse BFF patreon.com/Yournursebff an exclusive podcast & community for nurses who want small, actionable steps to make BIG shifts in your career, health, energy & freedom, without overwhelming your already busy schedule Struggling with meal prep for 12 hour shifts + a busy life?

Today we are talking about embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth and success. By leaning into discomfort, focusing on the process, aligning actions with goals, and practicing patience, YOU can navigate challenges, expand you capabilities, and ultimately achieve your aspirations.One key takeaway from the podcast episode is the importance of ensuring that actions align with goals and avoiding giving goals lip service. With a big emphasis on the need for individuals to reflect on whether their actions truly match the goals they have set for themselves. You may set ambitious goals, such as running a marathon or pursuing a career change, but when faced with discomfort or challenges along the way, you may start to back off or make excuses. This behavior of giving up when things get tough is identified as a common barrier to achieving goals. CONNECT WITH ME: IG: @michaela_robertson_ Struggling with meal prep for 12 hour shifts + a busy life?
