This Isn’t Your Typical Side Hustle
It’s your path to more income, better clients, and the freedom to live life on your terms.
Picture This…
You’re making an extra $2-3K each month with better, higher paying clients.
You’ve broken out of the feast-or-famine cycle and finally have consistent income.
You’re making a living while still be fully present with your family.
You have a business built with intention, not constant hustle.
Whether you want to grow your income, work with dream clients, or create more balance at home — my 1:1 coaching program is designed to help you get there.
You’ve worked with a couple of clients and now you’re ready for more. More income you can count on. More clients who value your skills — and pay you well for them. More freedom in your schedule.
This isn’t for dabbling. This is for VAs who value depth over speed, systems over scramble, and alignment over exhaustion. If you’re expecting shortcuts, one-size-fits-all templates, or a promise to “hit 6 figures fast” — I’m not your girl.
My Framework For Your Growth
Not only have I been mentoring VAs since 2021, but because I’m still actively working as a VA myself, everything I teach is grounded in what’s working now — not theory.
Inside my 90-day, 1:1 coaching container, we’ll focus on:
Simplifying & positioning your services so you naturally attract higher-paying, long-term clients (no more low-ball or one-off gigs)
Creating a simple marketing plan that consistently brings new leads into your world without spending hours online
Streamlining your systems & onboarding so you feel legit, confident, and ready for growth
By the end of our time together, you’ll have the clarity, structure, and confidence to bring in an extra $2-3K/month working with clients you actually enjoy — without the constant hustle.
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 how to turn into income.
Fast forward to today — I’ve built a thriving VA business from the ground up. What started as a side hustle quickly became a full-time, freedom-fueled career that supports my family and the life I actually want to live.
Along the way, I learned how to go from scrambling for one-off projects to working with long-term, higher-paying clients I truly enjoy — and that’s exactly what I help other VAs do now.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to take your business to the next level, I’m here to help you make consistent, aligned income a reality — without burning out or sacrificing your freedom at home.
Most days, you’ll find me on our 80-acre homestead in Northern Ontario — juggling client work, mentoring other VAs, tending to the garden, raising two-legged and four-legged babies, and soaking up all the slow-living goodness. I’m living proof you don’t need to hustle 24/7 to build something meaningful.
