Manage episode 485686323 series 3654170
In this episode of The VA Live Lounge, Kirsty is joined by the inspirational Vicki Wilson, founder of The Admin Fairy—an award-winning Virtual Assistant who’s proving every day that disability is not a barrier to building a brilliant business.
Vicki lives with cerebral palsy, uses a wheelchair, and runs her VA business her way. With a strong “can do” attitude, she’s carved out a space in the industry that works for her, not in spite of her disability—but alongside it. Her journey is one of resilience, creativity, and pure determination.
In this conversation, we explore:
✨ How Vicki built a thriving VA business around her life and needs
✨ The realities—and misconceptions—of running a business with a disability
✨ Her systems, boundaries, and secrets to success
✨ Winning the Woman Who Achieves Award 2025 and being invited to speak in London about disabled entrepreneurship
✨ Why she believes every business owner should feel empowered to do things their own way
Whether you're disabled, chronically ill, or just trying to make your business fit your life, this episode is packed with perspective, heart, and hope.
