  • Ep. 57: My VA Mistake That Made My Stomach Drop
    May 28 2026

    Been stressing about making mistakes as a VA? DM me on Instagram @hey.lauranicole and tell me your biggest fear after listening to this episode.

    __________________________________________

    What if you make a mistake for a client? What if you accidentally mess something up, disappoint them, or feel like you completely dropped the ball??

    In this episode, I’m sharing a very real behind-the-scenes look at a mistake I recently made for a client, and why messing up as a VA does not mean you’re failing. I’m walking you through exactly what happened, how I handled it in real time, and why moments like these are actually a normal part of working closely with clients.

    If you’ve ever worried that one wrong move as a VA would ruin your reputation, cost you a client, or prove you’re “not cut out” for this work, this conversation is for you.

    In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

    • The refund mistake I made for a brand-new client and what happened after

    • How to handle mistakes professionally instead of panicking or hiding them

    • Why clients value honesty, communication, and responsibility over perfection

    If you’ve ever made an “oops” moment with a client, come tell me over on Instagram @hey.lauranicole

  • Ep. 56: Teachers: You’ve Been Doing VA Work Already
    May 21 2026

    Want to turn your classroom experience into real VA income? Join this upcoming 4-Day Workshop and start building your services, resume, and client strategy this summer.

    __________________________________________

    In this episode, I’m talking directly to teachers who are feeling burnt out, underpaid, or stuck wondering what else they could even do outside of the classroom. I break down how the skills you already use every single day as a teacher directly transfer into virtual assistant work and why teachers are actually some of the best-positioned people to step into the VA industry.

    I also walk through the specific tasks teachers already do that mirror high-value VA services, the soft skills online business owners are actively looking for, and how you can use your summer break to start building a flexible income stream before heading back to school in the fall.

    In this episode, we chat about👇🏻

    • How teaching experience translates directly into virtual assistant work

    • The soft skills that make teachers highly valuable to online business owners

    • Using summer break to build a supplemental or full-time income as a VA

    Ready to turn your classroom skills into a flexible income stream this summer? Grab your seat in the 4-day workshop and let’s map out your services, build your resume, and get you confident enough to start landing clients before fall hits.
