In this episode of FlowZone, we sit down with Linh Podetti — entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Outsourcing Angel, one of Australia’s leading virtual assistant agencies. But before the business success and freedom-filled lifestyle, Linh’s life began with anything but choice.

Forced into child labour at the age of 10, disowned by her family, and a single mother by 20 — Linh’s early years were shaped by trauma, rebellion, and survival. But what followed is a story of deep self-discovery, personal reinvention, and spiritual transformation.

She shares the pivotal moment she broke down and surrendered, discovering faith and the power of intentional living. From manifesting her dream life to leading a purpose-driven company, Linh’s journey proves you don’t need millions to be free — you need clarity, courage, and conviction.

We talk about raising kids while running a business, designing your life with intention, and why asking for help is the fastest way forward. Linh also opens up about quitting alcohol, balancing growth with grace, and proving that you can scale a serious business without sacrificing your family.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your circumstances or needed permission to design a life on your terms, this episode will light a fire within you.
