2025 was the year I finally went full-time as a virtual assistant.

Some highlights from the year:

  • Hosted my first virtual retreat
  • Facilitated multiple mentorship program cohorts
  • Helped out with different online webinars
  • Worked closely with Christian women clients on both personal growth and business support

The whole journey stretched me a lot, but it also reminded me why I started in the first place. I learned a ton, gained confidence, and feel much more grounded going into the new year.

Curious to hear from other VAs here. Kamusta ang 2025 niyo? Anything you did last year that you’re especially proud of?

  • Wala akong accomplishments but I survived. Head above water, barely breathing, pero I'm still here padding my feet — I think nakaka proud na yun.

    You are right. Nakakaproud yun. Congratulations bestie. I know 2026 will be kinder to you.

  • Reached my first M. Went to Australia to meet my clients!!

    Paano maka join sa virtual retreat? :)

    Wow, congratulations!!! 🎉 I’m so happy for youuu!

    About the virtual retreat… I’ve actually been helping someone run a Christian mentorship program, and we decided to host a virtual retreat for her current and past clients. I helped plan everything: emails, program flow, and eventually hosting it. It went so well that she’s now doing an in-person retreat this April in Florida.

    I’m not promoting anything (like, she's not even my client anymore hehehe) but if you’d like, I can totally send you her info so you can join.
