At times being a virtual assistant can feel like the loneliest place in the world. So many of us work at home in isolation, connecting only at a surface level from behind our keyboards.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

‘Connection’ may have become a bit of a buzz word in recent years, but there’s a good reason for it.

Connection is absolutely vital for overall our well-being and longevity not just as business owners – but as human beings!

Connection provides us with a sense of belonging and purpose and the emotional support it brings cannot be underestimated.

Connection is a choice, but it’s a choice every virtual assistant needs to make – even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone to do so.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why virtual assistants are prone to feelings of loneliness and isolation, and how to combat it.
• How Jo beat loneliness from the outset and what Sam did to ensure no VA had to feel alone again.
• The big benefit of connecting with fellow VAs that may surprise you.
• The 2025 events you need in your diary.
