You have heard me talk about the enneagram here on the podcast before but what you might be surprised by is that the enneagram can be a great tool to use to inform our parenting.Today’s episode is actually our very first guest episode and I had the honor of interviewing one of my dear friends that you may know as Enneagram Ashton on Instagram, Ashton Whitmoyer-Ober! Ashton is an Enneagram consultant, speaker, educator, author (of THREE books I might had), and she is also a mom of two. So whether you know nothing about the enneagram or you are obsessed just like me, this episode is for you! | CONNECT WITH ASHTON |✿ Follow Ashton on Instagram: @enneagramashton✿ Take the enneagram test (Ashton's favorite)✿ All of Ashton's Enneagram Resources| LINKS |✿ Join Mom's Day Out Collective for FREE!✿ Interested in being a partner or sponsor of Mom's Day Out Collective?

Raise your hand if you agree that there are SO many things during the day that are trying to distract us or take our attention away from the things that matter most to us? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I mean, it's true.

Listen, I get it -- it's hard to prioritize rest as a mom. But did you know rest ≠ sleep? There are actually 7 different types of rest and I really believe that when we know the type of rest we need, it actually makes it easier to make it a priority AND for us to actually feel rested instead of like we are spinning our wheels.In this episode, we talk about all the different types of rest and I also share ways that I find rest with each type in hopes that it will inspire you to figure out what that might look like for you and your life! ✨ | MENTIONED |✿ Mom's Day Out Co.

I get questions nearly every day about what a virtual assistant even is, how it’s a legit business you can start, how you make money, what you actually do as a VA, and everything in between.And a lot of times these questions come from the angle of something DMing me and they are like, "Okay I’m intrigued and I want to work from home and I want to have time flexibility or I want to make some extra money in the side of my job but… what the heck is this ACTUALLY?!"So in this week's podcast episode, I want to pull the curtain back and break it all down for you. Take the mystery out of it and let you in on what a VA is (and how you can do it, too 😉).| MENTIONED |❊ The VA RoadmapSave $100 with the code BACKTOSCHOOL until 7/31!❊ Episode 09: 3 Places to Find Your First VA Client ❊ Episode 23: Facebook Groups are Out – Here’s What’s In | LINKS|❊ This episode's blog post❊ The Discovery Call Blueprint❊ 100 IG Post Prompts for VA's❊ Follow me on Instagram: @yourbehindthescenesbff ✹ Want to learn how to make $1,000/month in just 1 hour/day as a virtual assistant?

Up until recently, I used to wear the “5 am Club” title like a badge of honor & I thought that the only way I could really be successful was if I woke up before my kids and had this elaborate morning routine.I have officially unsubscribed to those thoughts. And lately, I’m finding that I really need the support of systems, routines, and habits. But it doesn't have to look like everyone else's.In this episode, we discuss that one of those habits that I am finding incredibly helpful is my evening routine & 3 things I make sure to check off before my head hits the pillow! 🎧| MENTIONED |❊ The VA Roadmap| LINKS|❊ This episodes blog post❊ Follow us on Instagram: @yourbehindthescenesbff ✹ Want to learn how to make $1,000/month in just 1 hour/day as a virtual assistant?

For an industry that's been around for many years, being a virtual assistant still to this day has many assumptions that simply aren't true! Let's talk about that age-old misunderstanding about being available 24/7 for your client. (Sounds exhausting, amirite?) Or is it even possible for VAs to make good money?

Sometimes, I think the name “assistant” can pull a certain type of stereotype that maybe we have been conditioned to believe in movies or where the assistant is just at the mercy of the person who has hired them and they are running themselves ragged trying to please their boss. The Devil Wears Prada, anyone? 🤪But being a virtual assistant is more about being a member of the team. Plus, you run your own business too, so that means you set your boundaries and expectations as well!In this episode, I am sharing three areas I believe you should be setting boundaries around and how to do so in order to not only grow a sustainable business but prevent yourself from burnout along the way. 🎧| MENTIONED |❊ The VA Roadmap LIVEStarting 5/22, I will be teaching our signature program, the VA Roadmap LIVE for 8 weeks!

I have been an entrepreneur for over 5 years now over those 5 years, I have gone all in on some business opportunities and just dabbled in others, but when I look back over the years on the opportunities I had, I do not regret a single one.

Virtual assistants make a wide range of income. It really depends on the VA, their work schedule, their goals, their experience, how long they have been in business, their services, the way they structure their packages, and so on.
