🎙 Episode 13 — What They Don’t Tell You About VA Life During the Holiday Rush It’s that time of year again — caffeine, chaos, and “just one more doodle before the holidays.” But what happens when you’re the VA behind the screen, supporting grooming businesses through their busiest season? In this solo episode, River Lee (The Savvy Groomer & Step Away From the Table) breaks down the real talk about working as a Virtual Assistant during the holiday rush — the part nobody warns you about. ✨ What we cover: 💻 The myth vs. reality of VA life — and why “freedom” doesn’t mean “available 24/7” 🪞 Understanding your supervisor’s chaos during the grooming rush 🐾 Setting boundaries with grace (and compassion for stressed groomers) 💬 Emotional labor & communication — how to stay calm when everyone else isn’t ☕ How to care for yourself, decompress, and avoid absorbing salon stress 💡 Whether you’re new to VA life or deep in the November madness, this episode reminds you that you’re not failing — you’re just finding your flow.
