From Corporate Life to Virtual Assistant Success: Navigating Motherhood and Business with Brittany Anderson

In 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.
