Just You Podcast: Evolution of stories through friendship
In the podcast "Just You," I delved into the fascinating evolution of stories through friendship. I shared personal insights on how friendships can shape our narratives, influence our paths, and contribute to personal and professional growth. From childhood bonds to lifelong connections, I explored the power of friendship in shaping our lives and the stories we tell.
The Business Expansion Podcast: Motherhood Empowerment
On "The Business Expansion Podcast," I shared my journey of building a thriving business during maternity leave. In a candid discussion, I opened up about the challenges and triumphs of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship. From navigating sleepless nights to seizing business opportunities, my story is a testament to the resilience and determination of mothers pursuing their passions while raising a family.
The Badass Boardroom: The game-changing move every business owner needs to take
In my appearance on "The Badass Boardroom," I discussed the game-changing move every business owner needs to take. Drawing from my own experiences and expertise, I offered valuable insights on strategic decision-making, seizing opportunities, and driving business growth. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a budding startup founder, my advice is sure to inspire you to take bold steps towards success.
Evolvepreneur® (After Hours): [Sara Reyes] Empowering Virtually
In my "Evolvepreneur After Hours" appearance, I discussed how I started my virtual assistant (VA) business after being made redundant during the COVID-19 pandemic while pregnant. By leveraging my network, I was fully booked within four weeks. I now support 6 and 7-figure business owners with high-level administrative and marketing tasks, and I coach others, especially mothers, on starting their own VA businesses. I go over the key to my success being clear boundaries and automation tools to balance work and motherhood. I advise starting simply with a laptop and internet, pricing confidently, and understanding the benefits of being a local VA. My main advice is to take the leap, as this career has given me flexibility and fulfillment.
Kindness Matters Podcast: Fostering empathy and compassion across ages
I recently spoke with Mike Rathbun on the Kindness Matters Podcast, where I discussed an initiative on the Sunshine Coast. Every Friday, I take my young children, Mila and Levi and visit a local retirement village, building bonds across generations. These visits uplift not only the elderly residents, many with dementia but also helps to teach my children compassion and empathy. I shared a special relationship my daughter shared with a resident Tony, a former doctor and Jodie who says Fridays are her favourite day of the week because of our visit! Also a memorable Christmas event last year where residents gifted presents to my children, fostering a true sense of community. We addressed the health risks of social isolation in older adults and the benefits of bridging generational gaps. This initiative serves as a model, encouraging similar programs in schools and daycares. Reflecting on kindness, I urge listeners to show compassion daily to everyone.
