She Replaced Her Teaching Salary in Five Months as a New Mom (with Laura Jennings)
Thursday, 18 June, 2026
Laura Jennings was a college professor with a master's degree, doing everything she'd been taught to do — until her daughter was born and she realized the life she'd built didn't fit the mom she was becoming. Five months after discovering virtual assistance, she'd replaced her teaching salary. Two years later, she'd tripled it. Her daughter never spent a day in daycare. In this episode, Dana and Laura get into exactly how moms can become virtual assistants using skills they already have — and why right now is one of the best possible moments to start. You'll hear: Why "too good to be true" is just a stage, and how to stack evidence until it becomes your new normal The ladder of believability: how imposter syndrome fades when you take action instead of waiting to feel ready Why "I'll work with anyone" is the wrong starting point — and how to find clients you actually enjoy working with The AI question answered honestly: what VAs can use it for, and why it's not replacing them The identity shift that nobody warns moms about — and why the flexible income path is one of the few structures that actually honors it What moms with 10 to 20 hours a week need to know about the current market for contract work This one is practical, personal, and full of permission for moms who've been sitting on the edge of making a move.
