This Isn’t Your Typical Side Hustle — It’s Your Path To Wildly Authentic Freedom

Let’s Paint The Picture…

  • You work 100% remotely — wherever, whenever.

  • You say goodbye to long commutes and awkward requests for time off.

  • You build consistent, recurring income (hello, financial freedom).

  • You finally find a rhythm that works for your life — not someone else’s.

  • You step into an industry that’s only growing.

  • You get to do work that actually feels good.

Sound dreamy? That’s the reality of building a VA business that works for you.

Whether you’re craving full-time travel, RV life, or more time with your kids — a Virtual Assistant business can be the key to creating a life that fits.

    Kickstart Your VA Career With Ease

    Maybe you want to bring in a bit of extra income (because let’s be real… inflation), or maybe you’re itching to leave the 9–5 altogether. But the “how” feels overwhelming — how do you start a business? Find clients? Stand out in a crowded market? Deal with imposter syndrome?

    You are not alone — and you’re definitely not too late.

    What If You’re More Ready Than You Think?

    Chances are, you already have the skills. Now it’s about learning how to package them, price them, and promote them in a way that gets results — without cold-pitching strangers or pretending to be someone you’re not.

    If I can do it, so can you.

    Hey, I’m Marissa Rether

    In 2021, I was laid off from my longtime program management job just weeks before returning from maternity leave. No backup plan. No savings. Just me, a newborn, and a bunch of random skills I wasn’t sure what to do with.

    Fast forward to today — I’ve built a thriving VA business from the ground up. What started as a side hustle quickly turned into a full-time, freedom-fueled career that supports my family and the life I actually want to live.

    Now, I help women like you do the same. Whether you’re starting from scratch or bringing years of experience to the table, I’m here to help you build a business that feels aligned, intentional, and sustainable.

    Most days, you’ll find me on our 80-acre homestead in Northern Ontario — juggling client work, tending to the garden, raising two-legged and four-legged babies, and soaking up all the slow-living goodness. I’m proof that you don’t need to hustle 24/7 to build something meaningful.

    What I’m All About

    • Authenticity: I still work as a VA today — this isn’t just theory. Everything I teach is rooted in real experience, trial-and-error, and honest lessons from the trenches.

    • Empowerment: My biggest joy? Helping women build businesses that go beyond money — ones that offer purpose, passion, and freedom.

    • Community: You don’t have to go it alone. This mentorship is about connection, collaboration, and cheering each other on — because there’s more than enough success to go around.
