Today, Sophia ran her very first Calm Crafts stall at her school fair.

She was nervous before it started, but once she got going she was completely in her element.

Chatting to people, sharing her creations, explaining the different sensory items and welcoming customers to her little corner of calm.

The most special part wasn’t the sales or the numbers.

It was watching people show up for her.

Family, friends and members of our community came along to support her.

Conor from stopped by to encourage her, both sides of our family called in, and so many wonderful people took the time to stop, chat and support her.

She was especially delighted to meet other children who connected with her creations and shared similar interests.

Watching those connections, seeing her smile light up when familiar faces appeared, and seeing people genuinely interested in what she had created meant more than I can explain here.

At the end of the day, she started giving away some of her affirmation pocket hearts. She even gave one to the principal that said, “You matter.”

That sums Sophia up perfectly.

A child with a huge heart who loves kindness, connection and helping people feel seen.

This year especially there have been challenges, worries and difficult days.

But today was a beautiful reminder that when neurodivergent children are given opportunities to follow their interests, share their strengths and be celebrated for who they are, they can absolutely thrive.

And thrive she did.

The icing on the cake?

Calm Crafts raised money for the school fair and Sophia has now been invited to have a stall at in a couple of weeks, which she is delighted about.

Thank you to every person who stopped by, bought something, shared a kind word or simply cheered her on here!

Today was about so much more than a market stall.

It was about confidence, belonging, community and joy.

Your kindness means so much.

From my heart to yours 💕

The longer I’m on this neurodivergent journey, the less I feel the need to explain myself.

Or the choices we make to support our kids.

I’ve learned that not everyone will understand our path. And that’s okay.

I’ve spent more than enough time caring too much about what other people think.

Now more than ever I’m trusting my instincts and doing what feels right.

I want them to know that they don’t need to change who they are to belong.

Neither do I 🤎

Some people feel like home and some people don’t.

I’m realising more and more how much I’ve pulled away from forcing connections this year.

What once felt normal has started to feel exhausting.

Today I stepped away from something that was hurting me more than it was adding to my life.

A reminder that life feels a lot lighter when you stop forcing what isn’t meant for you & listen to yourself.

Trust the nudges. 🤎

Tomorrows once in a Blue Moon moment is nicely timed…

Once in a Blue Moon you’re reminded that something is trying to change.

You may already be feeling it.

You can feel it in the restlessness. Like you’ve outgrown parts of your life.

Thoughts, habits, relationships or expectations.

You’re being called towards something bigger.

For me this year has been full of change, growth, healing and letting go of things that no longer fit.

Whether you believe in moon magic or enjoy taking a moment to reflect, there’s something powerful about consciously choosing what you want to carry forward.

The Blue Moon is an invitation to reflect on what feels heavy. What feels aligned.

Not everything is meant to come with you into the next chapter.

Trust what is unfolding.

The nudges are there for a reason ✨

I’d love to know, what are you ready to release and what are you calling in? 🌙✨

I’ve been thinking about how much I’ve changed this year.

In lots of little ways.

Reiki.
Regular walks in nature.
A solo trip to Lanzarote.
Meeting new people.
The healing trip to Wexford.
Learning boundaries.
Stepping away from relationships that were hurting me.
Not pushing myself past capacity all the time.

I started trusting myself more.

Speaking more honestly.
Listening to the nudges instead of dismissing them.

And bit by bit my confidence is coming back in tiny little pieces.

I’m nearly 45 and I’m only now starting to understand myself properly.

I’m feeling safe enough to become more of myself.

I spent years doubting my voice.

I don’t want to live like that anymore.

It’s time to stop silencing myself ✨

This week burnout caught up with me quietly and wiped me out.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t coping.

When you love and care for someone so deeply, you can forget to leave enough room for yourself.

And for a long time,I expected myself to function like nothing was happening.

If things feel hard, I hope this reminds you of something I needed reminding of too…

You deserve support & care as well 🤎

This is for you Virtual Assistants... Whether you are new around here or have been in the game for a while...

Today is to celebrate you! 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you for making this the best community full of support, collaborations and friendship.

I'm so so proud of every VA I have had the pleasure in mentoring over the last 2 years and to be a part of your journey.

It gives me goosebumps thinking about this time last year when I hosted lunch for this special VAs after landing in Dublin just 2 weeks earlier... and today I am doing the same with incredible VAs and online service providers based here in Ireland.

I'm so grateful for this community!

Thank you so much for being here.

Happy International Virtual Assistants Day! Never give up!

I recently mentored a virtual assistant who was taught to share a Canva graphic of her services and pricing with potential clients in the VA course that she took before launching her biz. 🫢

You might have heard out there to focus on launching your biz page on IG and getting clients asap and to worry about the other backend stuff later.

But (in my opinion) this is terrible advice.😳

Setting the scene as a professional is so important when the competition out there now is higher than it has ever been.

Creating a standout client experience with systems in place will see you booked out with long-term clients which is why I make things easy and have created a high-end template for a SERIVCES & PRICING guide.

Over my years as a VA, I have refined the Services & Pricing Guide so it tells my story, builds connection and helps my prospects work out the perfect-fit service for them.

If you want to get your business foundations in place, work out your dream clients and your packages locked in then you can learn from someone who has been there and done it themselves.

In VA Foundations you get my accountability, feedback and guidance so you can escape the 9-5 for good and create the lifestyle of your dreams.

The last spot to do the course 1:1 with me in May is left.

Payment plans available, click the link in my bio or send me a DM for more info.

P.S Over 10 templates like this one are included in VA Foundations or you can purchase the Services and Pricing Template from the shop on my website.

Things I wished I did differently when I first started as a VA.

1. Learn more about business

Investing in courses and mentoring to learn more about business has been the most transformational and rewarding things I have done for my business. Getting the right support is a far better use of time than trying to research the next viral reel hacks and trending audios.

2. & 3 Believe in myself & show up

The more I have put myself out there and showed up as myself, the more people that have reached out to work with me. Creating strategic content, investing in branding and imagery and sharing my thoughts has helped both in terms of creating an engaged community and bring in new clients to my business.

This list could go on and on - it took me countless hours of research, procrastination, and doubts to get to where I am today that I’ll never get back.

(And let’s not talk about the wasted time along the way!)

If you’re ready to escape the vicious cycle of never-ending question marks and imposter syndrome, then VA Foundations will do just that.

Let me give you the complete roadmap to your dream VA business along with my accountability, guidance and support.
