The World of Virtual Assistance with Molly Rose Speed

 

In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Molly Rose Speed, owner and Director of Operations at CoPilot Consulting. Molly Rose is a talented strategic thinker with cultivated skills in online tech solutions, systems, and processes that improve company efficiencies. She went from a “corporate cubicle dweller” to becoming an entrepreneur and creator of the Virtual Assistant Academy. Molly Rose shares her story and gives insight into the virtual assistance industry.

 

 

Ten years ago, Molly Rose quit her corporate job cold-turkey when she realized that it was not how she wanted to live her life. She delved into virtual assistance, despite not quite knowing everything it entailed – but she quickly learned. Virtual assistants provide the professional support online business owners need to stay in their zone of genius.

 

The Virtual Assistant Academy founded by Molly Rose trains and certifies people to start virtual businesses. It’s a very flexible career path, especially for mothers. On the flip side, the Academy also provides virtual services for business owners or even stay-at-home mothers looking to outsource certain tasks.

Frequency Healing and Career Changes with Ambi Kavanagh

What do you do when flying high in your career and your world falls apart?

You pick up the pieces, heal yourself and move on with your next phase. What if it happens again? Rinse and repeat.

Just like there is spring, summer, fall, and winter in nature, we sometimes have to destroy before we can create again, so it goes into our lives.

In this episode, I talk with Ambi Kavanagh, a reiki master, astrologer, sound healer, and life coach. She considers herself a modern-day alchemist who serves as a positive change in people’s lives, and I can testify of that since I’ve attended several of her sound baths in person.

We discuss ways that sound (and yes, that includes music) can be a way to heal and change your emotional state of well-being when you intentionally use music to change your frequency and, thus, your emotions.

We also discuss how Ambi’s life has gone from being a high-profile media and entertainment lawyer in the UK to living in LA and doing what she’s doing now. She has a story that you need to hear. The fact that you are reading this means there is something in this episode you need to hear and share with your friends and family.

Reach out to Ambi through her website: https://alchemywithambi.com/ and grab a copy of her book: Chakras and Self-Care.
