01 The Story

From the
Kitchen Table

to the main stage

Bre was a university director with a new baby and a growing feeling that the career she had been handed did not fit the life she wanted. So she went looking for a different way to work.

She found the virtual assistant industry while applying to jobs on Indeed, built her portfolio in an afternoon, and hired her first team member in month one. She built quietly for a year, and the business kept growing until it became something bigger than a job.

Today she runs her companies from a horse farm in Minnesota and teaches women how to build remote, fractional, and portfolio careers of their own.

for rooms that are ready to build differently

01

The New Way
Women Work

How the kitchen table economy is rewriting what a career can look like, and how to build one that fits your life.

02

Delusional
Goals

Setting the goal that feels impossible, and the three levers that turn it into a calendar, a team, and a result.

03

Delegate
Like a CEO

What founders get wrong about delegation, and how leading people well becomes the real engine of scale.

05 The Life

The Life
It Built

ten acres, three kids, and a few horses

Bre believes the business should serve the life. She schedules white space just to think, takes a long walk every day, and treats her work like a playground she gets to come back to.
