In this episode of Virtually Free, I’m joined by the amazing Stacey Morthorpe - founder of Virtual Beauty Solutions, social media manager for beauty professionals, and a long-term client inside my coaching programs.

Stacey started out as a VA after 16 years in the beauty industry and has since grown a business that supports her lifestyle and personal commitments

We dive into the real shifts she made to go from an overwhelmed VA to visible and in-demand (with boundaries, structure and offers that reflect her zone of genius)

This is a must-listen if you're:

• Just getting started and wondering where to begin
• Feeling stuck in the cycle of saying yes to everything
• Ready to shift out of freelancer energy and into CEO leadership

In this episode, we cover:

• What Stacey’s business looked like before she joined coaching
• Her shift into packaged offers and what made it finally click
• How she pushed through visibility fears and started showing up online
• The mindset shifts that helped her stop overthinking and start leading
• Her biggest wins and how her business feels and looks now
• Advice she’d give to someone just a few steps behind her
