About this listen

 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!

    106. VA Spotlight: The Power of Identity & Building a Soul-Led Business with Meghan of The Marigold Collective
    Jan 15 2026
    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I am so excited to continue our Client Spotlight series and introduce you to the amazing Meghan Braun, the founder of The Marigold Collective! Meghan's journey is a powerful testament to the magic that unfolds when you stop trying to fit into a mold and build a business that is a true reflection of your soul-led identity. After leaving a toxic relationship and a corporate job where she felt unseen, Meghan knew she was meant for more. She shares her story of navigating the virtual assistant world, feeling like she couldn't find her niche, and the powerful identity shift she experienced that changed everything. Here’s what you’ll hear from Meghan and me: Her journey of trying everything from direct sales to digital marketing before finding her path as a virtual assistant. The "aha" moment that led her to pivot from back-end VA work to creating her own brand, The Marigold Collective, focused on helping others build their influence. A deep dive into "identity work" and how changing her internal world created massive external results in her business. How she balances homeschooling, homesteading, and building a thriving business by setting boundaries and leveraging her VA. Her beautiful mission to help women build businesses around the lives they actually want to live, not the other way around. Her advice for anyone feeling stuck: be patient, trust the process, and know that your plans mean nothing because God's are far greater. All about her 90-minute intensives designed to help entrepreneurs find clarity and build an authentic business. If you've ever felt like you're not quite in the right place or are ready to build a business that feels as good as it looks, Meghan's story of finding her "square hole" will deeply inspire you.

    Nov 20 2025

    In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I’m joined by Randi Kathryn, a brand-new VA agency owner who went from zero to fully booked in days by making a clear decision, taking fast action, and trusting the process.

    • The team restructure that removed bottlenecks by adding a Chief Growth Officer and a near full time marketing driver

    • Investing in brand, certification, and front end assets that compound without a hype launch
